Comments on: The MOD sit-in: Sometimes with the Islamists, Never with the State https://arabawy.org/37926/the-mod-sit-in-sometimes-with-the-islamists-never-with-the-state/ Hossam el-Hamalawy Wed, 10 Feb 2021 20:52:13 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.9.4 By: Taliawi https://arabawy.org/37926/the-mod-sit-in-sometimes-with-the-islamists-never-with-the-state/#comment-45221 Fri, 25 May 2012 09:53:10 +0000 https://arabawy.org/?p=37926#comment-45221 I love the article, but i don’t agree with the “what do you do as a revolutionary socialist” tone. I guess for me it mirrors the whole case against which the article is based. As if being a revolutionary socialist is a tight-formed identity of a “unified homogenous block”. I am not a revolutionary socialist and the words of this article appeal to me just the same. In fact, being rallied after the “revolutionary socialist” label, i’m sorry to say, makes them repelling.

I’m proud to have taken part in the sit-in (by regularly visiting – didn’t stay the nights).

I even wrote a block post to try and refute misconceptions that were based on rumors spread by Islamophobic revolutionaries and counterrevolutionary forces:

The top seven myths on the Abbaseyya sit-in:

One thing. I don’t think criticism (however harsh or misplaces) of Islamists in Muslim countries, can be equated to the Islamophobia in the west. The latter is a form of racism. The same cannot be said for Egyptian Arab liberals attacking Egyptian Arab Islamists.

I went to several marches going to Abasseya and witnessed the friday Abasseya clampdown by the army. I just have one reservation. You say the salafists’ demands were the dissolution of the presidential committee and amending article 28 of the constitutional declaration. From what I noticed at the sit-in -the MOD one- after several statements expressed by various factions at the sit-in, the main demand had escalated into SCAF relinquishing power to a national salvation government. I don’t think this had been the demand at first, but it was certainly clearly expressed especially at the MOD sit-in and not the Tahrir one held by the Salafists as well. I think this was a realization by the Slafist camp that the military in all cases could not be entrusted with the handover of power, and a clear radicalization on their part. A very positive turn of events as you point out

Comparing this to the nonsense other celebrity activists are writing gives me so much hope. Bless you Hossam for expressing what we would have said if we were more articulate :)
