Whistleblowing is a bribery and corruption prevention strategy that does not receive the credit it deserves. In fact, rather than relying exclusively on laws, regulations, and resolutions, whistleblowing can be considered a highly effective method to combat bribery and corruption in any field, including government or corporate settings. Whistleblowing often leads to sustainable solutions, as it involves voices from various levels, ranging from grassroots to top-tier management. However, there are plethora of challenges whistleblowers face when they blow the whistle. Nonetheless, whistleblowers play a crucial role in preventing bribery and corruption, and this pivotal role enables preserving the security of any nation.

As stated by the National Center for Whistleblowing (2021), at its core, a whistleblower is an individual who discloses instances of wastefulness, fraudulent activities, misconduct, corruption, or hazards to public well-being, with the intention of prompting corrective actions. While whistleblowers are often affiliated with the organization where the wrongdoing occurs, it is not a prerequisite; anyone can assume the role of a whistleblower as long as they reveal information about the wrongdoing that would otherwise remain concealed. In simple terms, a whistleblower is a person who acts responsibly on behalf of themselves as well as others. Whistleblowers play an extremely imperative role in any society, as they stand for justice, promote accountability, and advocate transparency.

When looking at its link to national security, whistleblowers play a crucial role. One prominent action is whistleblowers exposing imminent and occurred security threats. They are capable of disclosing breaches of security, illegal surveillance, and in situations where individuals or entities are attempting to divulge material information. Whistleblowers uncover injustices, misconduct, and beyond-the-scope activities of decision-makers within government or private entities. If individuals engage in unethical practices, illegal actions, or actions jeopardizing integrity, whistleblowers blow the whistle. One such example, as reported by St. Francis School of Law in 2022, is whistleblower Frank Serpico’s case. He was the first police officer who openly testified about corruption within the New York Police Department, reporting instances of police corruption, including bribes and payoffs, despite facing numerous obstacles. His revelations contributed to a 1970 New York Times story on systemic corruption in the NYPD, leading to the formation of the Knapp Commission. In 1971, he survived a suspicious shooting during an arrest, raising concerns about potential attempts to harm him. Serpico’s bravery emphasized the importance of accountability and transparency in law enforcement.

Whistleblowers also contribute by facilitating accountability by bringing into light corrupt practices such as mismanagement of money. An example is, in 1968 when A. Ernest Fitzgerald, known as the “godfather of the defense movement,” exposed a staggering $2.3 billion cost overrun related to the Lockheed C-5 transport aircraft. His courageous testimony before Congress shed light on issues in defense contracting and resulted in substantial government savings. Fitzgerald’s contributions went beyond the immediate case, playing a crucial role in the passage of the Whistleblower Protection Act of 1989. This results in a culture of accountability where representatives of the public are answerable to their actions. Whistleblowers uphold the rule of law and promote justice by defending the rights of the citizens. It fosters democracy.

However, whistleblowers are often subjected to criticism for standing up against injustice. They fear retaliation, as guilty parties may try to silence them out of revenge. Additionally, companies or institutions may not take whistleblowers seriously, leading them to avoid addressing the reported issues. In many cases, this happens because governments or authorities in power might be involved in bribery and corruption. Public recognition and appreciation of whistleblowers’ contributions to society are vital and should not be perceived as excessive. In addition, there are situations where groups of individuals create sub cultures within organisation and act against rules and protocols jeopardising inclusive culture. In such situations, reporting to a superior will be seen as favoritism or being overly devoted to the institution. This toxic environment demotivates valuable employees or those willing to stand against injustice. The lack of adequate legal protection further compounds the challenges faced by whistleblowers. Moreover, the courage to stand against bribery and corruption is in dire need, as many individuals may lack the moral fortitude to do so.

Whistleblowers are internationally and domestically protected, primarily through the adoption of the United Nations Convention against Corruption. Other international agreements, such as the African Union Convention on Preventing and Combating Corruption and the Organization of American States Inter-American Convention against Corruption, also demonstrate a commitment to whistleblower protection. Various influential international organizations, including the G20, OECD, and APEC, have played a role in promoting whistleblower laws and best practices worldwide. On the domestic front, countries like Sri Lanka have specific laws dealing with corruption, while OECD findings highlight countries with comprehensive whistleblower laws such as the United States, Canada, Japan, and others.

Despite these efforts, there are still some ambiguities and gaps in provisions that hinder effective whistleblowing. For instance, the proposed anti-corruption bill in Sri Lanka allows public officers to accept gratifications authorized by written law or employment terms, which undermines the core objectives of the bill and enables influential individuals to evade accountability for corrupt gains. In Russia, whistleblower protection is limited, with unsuccessful attempts to establish protective measures in 2017. This puts Russia behind the EU, which has implemented robust whistleblower protection through the Whistleblowing Directive.

It is evident that whistleblowers play an indispensable role in combatting bribery and corruption, acting as a highly effective strategy to preserve the security of any nation. Despite facing numerous challenges, these individuals contribute significantly by uncovering wrongdoing, promoting accountability, and upholding transparency. By exposing imminent security threats and holding corrupt practices accountable, whistleblowers safeguard the rule of law and foster democracy. However, to harness the full potential of whistleblowing, it is crucial to address barriers to reporting and remedy afore mentioned legal hurdles. Encouraging a whistleblowing culture and recognizing their contributions will enable society to effectively mitigate and combat bribery and corruption, by creating a more just and transparent environment. To accomplish this, organizations can embrace a culture of whistleblowing, by conducting awareness campaigns, implementing training programs, and fostering a safe and supportive environment for whistleblowers to come forward. In addition, implementing technical measures and policies to ensure whistleblower protection, authorities can demonstrate their commitment to supporting those who expose wrongdoing. These collective actions will strengthen the pivotal role of whistleblowers in preserving security by combating bribery and corruption, fostering a safer and more ethical society for the future.

In 2022, drug overdoses claimed the lives of over 100,000 Americans. The primary sources of illegal drugs flooding into the United States are the Mexican drug cartels, who exploit a network of corrupt politicians, police officers, and military personnel in Mexico. Within Mexico itself, these cartels are responsible for a staggering level of violence, including tens of thousands of homicides each year. Within the United States, the cartels establish distribution cells, collaborating with either Mexican gangs or affiliated criminal organizations.

The U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) considers the Mexican drug cartels to be the number-one threat to the United States. Among them, the Sinaloa Cartel and Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) are the richest and most powerful. Their exceptional earnings allow them to invest in soldiers and weapons, as well as payoffs and bribes, enabling them to expand their territorial control.

To effectively address the challenge posed by the cartels, the United States should adopt a comprehensive set of policy measures. These include securing the southern border, fostering enhanced cooperation with the Mexican government, implementing immigration reforms, bolstering drug enforcement efforts domestically, designating the cartels as terrorist organizations, imposing targeted financial and economic sanctions, and considering if limited military intervention is necessary.

While these measures hold significant potential, there exist political barriers that hinder their implementation.

Secure the Southern Border

Since January 2020, over five million people have illegally crossed the southern border. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) identifies protecting the border from illegal movements of people and drugs as being essential to homeland security. Transnational criminal organizations, such as the Sinaloa Cartel and CJNG, are responsible for most of the drugs entering the country. On an average day, CBP seizes 1,797 pounds of illegal narcotics. In 2022, CBP seized a total of “more than 1.8 million pounds of narcotics and 14,700 pounds of fentanyl.” Preventing the cartels from being able to transport drugs into the United States would take away their income, causing their soldiers and friendly politicians to stop cooperating with them.

In order to better secure the border, CBP has created a preparedness plan which consists of a number of crucial elements, such as increasing the number of personnel, while improving technology and infrastructure. In addition to new hires, the number of personnel can be augmented through increased cooperation with other branches of law enforcement and the military. In May, President Biden, in response to a request from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees CBP, ordered an additional 1,500 troops to the border for a 90-day deployment. This was on top of the 2,500 already in place. Texas Governor Ron Abbot deployed his national guard and the new Texas Tactical Border Force to the border. North Dakota and Tennessee, as well as other states, also sent members of their national guard to Texas. In addition to national guard troops, the state of Florida sent a mix of state law-enforcement officers from varying branches. To effectively control the border, however, and have a major impact on illegal immigration, the number of troops will have to be drastically increased and the deployment would have to be permanent.

The technological improvements called for by the DHS include increased use of high-tech assets for aerial surveillance such as drones and manned aircraft. They also want sensors on border barriers, land sensors, cameras, radar, and autonomous surveillance towers. This technology will allow the DHS to better detect, monitor, and track unauthorized border crossings. Additionally, improved data analytics and artificial intelligence would help with screening and processing of legal entrants as well as illegals who have been apprehended.

The DHS has called for improved infrastructure towers, as well as facility expansion and upgrades. Some U.S. lawmakers would also like to see the border wall completed, particularly along vulnerable areas. A wall would impede illegal entry to the country, while making it easier for officials to spot illegal crossings.

Plans to secure the border have been rejected on a number of grounds. First, it would be expensive to station the necessary number of personnel at the border. Increased infrastructure, particularly the wall, would also be very costly and would not provide a 100-percent solution. Even more, it would be seen as racist, with Bloomberg calling the border wall a monument to White Supremacy.

Increased Cooperation with Mexican Government

One part of the cooperation with Mexico has to include Mexico’s willingness to help staunch the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States. Mexican President López Obrador formed a national guard tasked with this purpose, but the group has been condemned by human rights activists. Furthermore, the national guard, like other elements of Mexico’s law enforcement and military, suffers from corruption. 

If migrants were turned away by the U.S. in large numbers, Mexico would have to stand ready to accept them. Mexico would also have to form agreements with other countries in the chain of drug transit, from Colombia, through Central America, to the U.S. border. These countries will have to similarly agree to help prevent migrants from entering Mexico and they will have to stand ready to receive those migrants returned by Mexico.

Inside of Mexico, the Mexican government must actively fight the cartels, disarming them, disbanding them, and loosening their hold over both territory and people. This includes targeting high-profile cartel leaders. This will create command and control vacuums which historically have caused in-fighting among cartel members. Large cartels would then splinter into independent and warring groups with considerably less power. Changes within Mexico, however, would be dependent on reducing corruption, and these policies would be very unpopular among politicians, police, and military officers who benefit from the status quo.

Because of the massive corruption and the influence the cartels have over the Mexican authorities, U.S. Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) has abandoned any hope of cooperating with the Mexican government, calling the country “a failed narco-state.” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has similarly given up on the Mexican government, saying that the U.S. should notify Mexico that the cartels will soon be designated as terrorist organizations.

Immigration Reform

The screening process for legal immigrants must be strengthened, while backdoor avenues, such as illegal entry and asylum-seeking, must be curtailed. Under the Biden administration, anyone arriving at the southern border can claim to be seeking asylum. This allows them to remain in the United States awaiting their asylum hearing. Republicans see this as an enticement for people wishing to enter the country, bypassing normal immigration procedures. Rights groups, on the other hand, complain that Washington should not curtail its acceptance of asylum seekers. In this case, asylum seekers should be returned to Mexico to await their court date. Knowing that they cannot get a free pass into the U.S. would reduce the number of people seeking to exploit the system. This change in immigration procedure would have to be coordinated with Mexico, however, as the undocumented would be entering Mexican territory.

Increased Drug Enforcement in the U.S.

Drug laws in the U.S. must be rigorously enforced in order to reduce the demand for drugs. Law enforcement must be strengthened, including additional training, and increased investigation and prosecution of drug-related crimes. Intelligence gathering must be enhanced through the creation of specialized units and task forces. The DEA reported that drug cartels are exploiting social media to sell fentanyl and methamphetamine. The authorities should closely monitor these social media in order to identify and arrest buyers and sellers. Furthermore, the DEA must coordinate with federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to increase arrests of people selling or buying illegal drugs.

Beyond law enforcement and prosecution, there must be comprehensive drug prevention and treatment programs, education campaigns, addiction treatment, and rehabilitation programs. Opponents of strict enforcement claim that enforcement does not work because drug use has increased during the 50 years that the U.S. war on drugs has been going on. The war on drugs has cost $1 trillion, and roughly one in five incarcerated people were arrested on drug charges. Opponents also complain that prisoners are disproportionately Black and Latino. Although only 13.4 percent of the population is African American, about 25 percent of all persons arrested for drugs are African American adults.

Identify Cartels as International Terrorist Organization

The cartels are known to cooperate with international terrorist organizations, such as Hezbollah, Taliban, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) and al-Qaeda, in order to sell their drugs in other parts of the world. They also aid terrorism by smuggling terrorists into the United States. To launder their illicit income, they employ the services of Chinese criminal organizations which pose their own threat to the United States. U.S. lawmakers have proposed designating the cartels as terrorist organizations, because they use violence and threats of violence to influence and control judges, politicians, and lawmakers. Designating the cartels as terrorist organizations would facilitate U.S. government seizure of cartel assets. It would make it easier for the U.S. to arrest cartel members inside of the United States, and possibly inside of Mexico. The U.S. could deport or bar from entry persons associated with the cartels. A terrorism designation would also enable the U.S. to deploy the military, even inside of Mexico.

However, there would be a number of disadvantages. First, violence would most likely increase, particularly if the U.S. military became involved. Next, it would effectively destroy U.S.-Mexico relations. The U.S. would be able to sanction or arrest high-ranking members of the Mexican government and security forces, which might be perceived as an act of war. These types of purges might destabilize the Mexican government and would, at the very least, cause a breakdown in cooperation between the two nations. Furthermore, bilateral trade, valued at $800 billion and accounting for millions of jobs on both sides of the border, would dry up. Increased violence, a destabilized government, and a loss of jobs would increase the flow of illegal immigrants into the United States.

Military Intervention

Rep. Dan Crenshaw and other U.S. lawmakers have called for an Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) to target Mexican drug cartels, saying “We must start treating them like ISIS – because that is who they are.” Those who back an AUMF point to the fact that the cartels are responsible for more American deaths each year than the entire Vietnam War. An AUMF would provide the president with the sophisticated hardware and expert personnel of the U.S. military, more powerful assets than those possessed by law enforcement or the DHS. Supporters of an AUMF also make the point that the soldiers would be engaging foreign hostiles in a foreign nation and, therefore, would not be infringing on the civil rights of U.S. citizens. 

In addition to arresting or killing key cartel members, military intervention could disrupt drug supply chains by destroying growing fields and drug labs. The government of Mexico has protested discussions of U.S. military operations in his country, calling it an offense to the Mexican people. Mexico’s President Lopez Obrador said that he would not “permit any foreign government to intervene in our territory, much less that a government’s armed forces intervene”.

Another disadvantage of U.S. military operations in Mexico would be an increase in violence. Inevitably, civilians would suffer, and the U.S. would be portrayed as the villain in the international and liberal press. The threat of cartel violence against Americans would also increase. Historically, the cartels have tried to avoid killing Americans, for fear of provoking Washington’s wrath. If the U.S. military began engaging in cross-border operations, the cartels would most likely declare all-out-war on Americans. Cartel violence within the U.S. would also accelerate as the cartels would be risking nothing by upping the ante.

Increased Financial and Economic Sanctions

Financial and economic sanctions can be powerful tools to break the cartels and to punish those who assist them. This includes enforcement of anti-money laundering laws, as well as targeting financial institutions that handle cartel money. Cartel assets held in banks around the world could be seized if U.S. allies also participated in the sanctions. If Mexico is legitimately interested in curbing corruption in their own government, this intense scrutiny would also help them to discover which public officials were accepting bribes.

Sanctions have already been used against the cartels: In 2022, the U.S. Treasury Department, in cooperation with their Mexican counterparts, brought sanctions against a cartel member who was trafficking weapons from the United States. Under the sanctions, Obed Christian Sepulveda Portillo had his property in the U.S. seized. U.S. Entities and persons from the U.S. are also prohibited from doing business with him or completing transactions on his behalf. Those who violate these sanctions may face criminal charges or civil lawsuits. In July 2023, the Treasury Department imposed sanctions against ten individuals, including several Sinaloa Cartel members, as well as one Mexico-based company, for their role in the production of illicit fentanyl and the precursor chemicals necessary for fentanyl production. Under the sanctions, all of their properties and interests in the U.S. were seized. Americans were banned from doing business with them. Companies in which they had a direct or indirect stake of 50 percent or more were also prohibited from doing business in the U.S. or with Americans. These are good examples, but to break the cartels, these types of sanctions would have to increase in scope, hitting large numbers of people participating in criminal networks.

From an efficacy standpoint, the above policy recommendations, if taken together, would result in a decrease in the supply side, a decrease in the demand side, and a long-term reduction in drug deaths and violent deaths in both the U.S. and Mexico, eventually leading to the stabilization of Mexico. Breaking the hold the cartels have on the country would allow Mexico to develop economically. This would benefit the entire population and the United States. But this success, which could take painful years to achieve, would come with a political and human cost which politicians may not be willing to pay.

With explaining my case as a model for Egyptian public opinion and the entire international community in confronting the attempts of the banned terrorist Muslim Brotherhood group to send me assassination threatens in my face. Over the past few days, I have suffered from the scandalous effect of the relationship between the American intelligence Agency “CIA”, the Israeli Mossad, and the banned terrorist Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and the region, with the arrival of a series of threats, pictures, and frightening and terrifying phrases to me, with the solidarity of the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood in Pakistan with its terrorist counterpart in Egypt to threaten me.  And someone sent behind me a message about my liquidation and assassination, following the exposure of the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood group recruiting a number of my teachers, colleagues, and others to abuse me and force me to submit to them in the face of the Chinese.  People contacted me from WhatsApp groups defending that Pakistani terrorist who sent an invitation to me to visit Pakistan and communicate with the Egyptian embassy in Islamabad, and blame me for publishing his message to me publicly by communicating with me despite being an unknown person to me and everyone, and his determination to invite me to Pakistan despite my refusal of his invitation  to me several times, as is evident in public, except for his suspicious determination and ending his speech with the phrase, “My boss will contact you immediately, despite my insistence on refusing to accept his invitation to visit Pakistan throughout my conversation with him, given the exact timing of sending that invitation to me, after my scandal of the CIA’s attempt to recruit me for work”. In (the advanced intelligence pre-emptive genius project funded by the Advanced Intelligence Research Activity Department of the CIA), and their recruitment of many people, professors, and colleagues to confront me to try to force me basically to implement their terms in the face of China, as it is my only major specialty for more than 15 continuous years.  And my full and complete knowledge of its affairs due to my depth with it.

 I also received a warning, proven by evidence, that the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood and its branch specifically in Pakistan attempted to liquidate and kill me after my scandal and exposure of the CIA game with my teachers, colleagues and others, and the conspiracy against me by fabricating fake reports of insanity against me.  And alerting me of the necessity of my escape and disappearance in any way, because the terrorists in Pakistan insisted on liquidating me, after my scandal to their agents in Cairo and the fabrication of reports against me.  Then send me a message informing me that the terrorist Brotherhood organization in Pakistan has taken a final decision to liquidate and kill me.

  Then I received real messages, affixed with pictures, oh the great people of Egypt, its ancient army, and its respected leader, warning me of my imminent liquidation and assassination by the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood, such as the arrival of a warning message about my liquidation and assassination, by sending pictures and news of mutilation and death to a woman with a beautiful goodbye written on her, on the WhatsApp application.  This is as a warning message from the terrorist Brotherhood organization that I will soon be liquidated and assassinated.  And that is the reality of the Muslim Brotherhood, which is prohibited to assassinate and kill those who disagree with them like me, and to form blocs against everyone who disagrees with them, or rather, to be more accurate, they are given orders to mutilate and kill him, as they did with me.

   So today I submit an urgent report to the Egyptian authorities and the security services in Egypt, in which I explain to their sovereignty all the attempts to kill, liquidate and threaten me by the terrorist Brotherhood organization, and their insistence on killing a woman they have been tracking for years based on American and Western orders and directives after rejecting any invitations for her to work and recruit in a super-genius project.  The internationally advanced intelligence preemption with the CIA, or any attempts to recruit it in the face of the people of Egypt or the Chinese file.

  The matter did not stop at this point by the banned Brotherhood group in confronting me after I exposed them. Rather, continuous contacts continued with me on the day immediately following my exposure. Terrorists from Pakistan communicated with me through letters and e-mails that are proven with me and with evidence, from countries that house the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood to invite me to them or to accept them.  Publishing and writing articles and analyzes in its most famous and most important newspapers and websites, and this is what happened and is happening with me for the first time after I exposed the invitation of the Pakistani terrorist to me the next day directly, as a person from the state of Indonesia contacted me and photographed him on his WhatsApp profile with the Qatari Prince “Hamad bin Khalifa”, the father of Sheikh Tamim, the Emir of Qatar, and requests scientific cooperation with me without any prior knowledge between us at all, and many people continued to contact me asking me to cooperate with them from countries that harbor the international organization of the Brotherhood such as Pakistan, Britain, and the United States of America, all of them once and in a short period asking for cooperation  With me in anything I want.  In a more precise sense, there are real, proven attempts to track me down.  And this is in a final attempt by the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood to protect the members of their terrorist organization in Cairo to save them or save what is left of them in my last confrontation with them before the official Egyptian and Chinese authorities and authorities and before the eyes and ears of the Egyptian and Arab public opinion and the entire international community, as the most resounding scandal that the organization will suffer.  The international Brotherhood terrorist in the face of a woman and a lonely young academic in the heart of Cairo, after their size dwindled and they rallied to confront and engage in war with a lone woman in their confrontation, who is crying out to remove their ears from her for no comprehensible reason, other than their attempt to compliment the American and Israeli side in confronting me due to my closeness to China.

 Also, during the last period, after exposing the Pakistani terrorist’s call to me directly, I was subjected to a fierce campaign of blackmail on my part by members of the banned Brotherhood, by directing insults and insults at me, and then sending messages in defense of the isolated “Mohamed Morsi” and the rule of the banned Brotherhood… So I wrote that letter  Specifically, to one of the people who defended the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood and the deposed “Mohamed Morsi”… I wrote it while crying with indescribable bitterness, because the banned Brotherhood entered into a confrontation that was not understood at all, except as a courtesy to the Americans in confronting me with my closeness to the Chinese and my refusal of the Americans’ invitations and their recruitment of me..  Therefore, I wrote to those who were defending the rule of the Brotherhood and “Mohamed Morsi”, that particular letter, which I leave you all to read in its spontaneity, in its simple language, according to my instinctive feeling with which I wrote that letter to respond to its author… Here is the text of the letter:

   I mean, for those who defend the rule of the Brotherhood and “Mohamed Morsi”… My personal experience with them is completely far from politics, and their disagreement is with the regime… They used to form blocs against me everywhere before, until I started attacking them. Since yesterday, they send me pictures of killing, assassination, and destruction. They make blocs.  Against me in the Chinese file and the university to harass and punish me without any humanity or any understandable reason at all.

 I mean, regret, they are not affiliated with a religion and do not know our Lord, His Qur’an, His religion, and His Sunnah right to know Him. When they destroy one woman who did not do anything to them at all, and may God know until the last moment, I swear to God Almighty, I was an agent, but I received their blows and stabs against me… And their hearts were as black as black, and there was not an iota of mercy in their hearts, nor did a hair shake for them, while they were working to harm me.

 I am talking about my personal experience with them, far from any disagreement they have with any regime.  And our Lord testifies that I used to treat all people well, and despite that, I did not escape from their plots, oaths, and false testimonies.

 In short, gentlemen… I saw the bitterness and the blackness of them, until they fought me to eat my livelihood and increase my income. When I went to any place they knew, they used to congregate against me.

 I saw their blackness, their evil, and their oppression, and I saw no mercy in their hearts.  This is the summary of my relationship with them, or rather, the one I saw with them

 My situation stopped, my work was destroyed, I refused everything because of their problems with me… In the end, when I responded and screamed, they started sending me pictures and death threats.  And just like that, they are the Brotherhood countries that I saw, and I did not see any sweet part of them that I could think of for them, whether from a human or human point of view.  And they are not forgiven for the great day of the situation

. And after presenting that previous letter in which I complain about the attempts of the international organization of the terrorist Brotherhood to track and harm me over several years.  It becomes clear to us, O great people of Egypt, and with conclusive evidence and over the past days and period, after a succession of scandals of the terrorist Brotherhood, the true extent of violence associated with the banned terrorist Brotherhood in confronting women and the use of violence and the highest levels of terrorism in confronting them, so I became a living example of the violence of the banned terrorist Brotherhood in  Confronting Egypt, its people and its great army.  This brings us to the point of connection of violence and the issue of political assassinations with terrorists from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt since its establishment, and we find that there are many terrorist operations that the terrorist group carried out or tried to implement over many years, in addition to its bloody struggle with the authority in a desperate attempt to reach it after it  Everyone pronounced it, until the Egyptian government declared the Muslim Brotherhood a banned terrorist organization after a series of violent and bloody crimes committed by terrorists from the banned Brotherhood against Egypt and the region.

  On the academic side, we will find that the language of violence has been present in the group’s literature since its founding, with its explicit text not to accept the other who disagrees with it in any way, just as according to the constitution of the Brotherhood terrorist group, the assassination of the enemies of the call is part of the Islamic faith, so their support came unanimously by agreeing to the assassination of the late President “Anwar Sadat”, who basically ordered the release of the group’s leaders and members from prisons and allowed them to return and practice their political activities, and despite that they did not keep the covenant with him. The special system of thought of the banned Brotherhood, and that it was entrenching the idea that political assassination is a Sunnah of Islam in confronting all those who disagree with them, as is the case with me.

 Here, the founder of the terrorist Brotherhood group, “Hassan al-Banna”, divides in his book on “Memoirs of the Call and the Caller” for all Muslims into two parts, considering (those who belong to the Brotherhood are the community of believers in society, and those other than them are not spared from deficiency). This was exactly what applied to my case, given the practice of the members of the banned terrorist group, the Brotherhood, to the highest levels of violence in their confrontation with me in an unprecedented international manner, in addition to those continuous consequences for me without stopping for one day.

  The founder of the group, Hassan al-Banna, has called since its inception to fight those who do not accept the call of the Muslim Brotherhood, saying: “We are at war against every leader or head of a party or organization that does not work to support Islam, and does not go about restoring the rule of Islam and the glory of Islam. We will declare it a feud”. There is no peace or relent in it until God decides between us and our people with truth, and He is the best of the conquerors.

  Here, after presenting my personal experience in confronting the banned Brotherhood, we will immediately understand the reasons for the societal rejection of that terrorist group, as a result of the violence and extremism that it pursued against the Egyptian state, its people, and its institutions throughout its rule and after its isolation, in order to threaten the pillars of the state and cause discord in Egyptian society and among all its children.

  As it is clear to us and with evidence and according to my personal experience in confronting the terrorists of the Brotherhood and then my understanding of the reasons for their popular rejection, this radical terrorist takfiri expiatory thought and discourse of the Brotherhood in the face of everyone who disagrees with them, and the most prominent example of this is the emergence of the takfiri expiatory thought and discourse of society in the presence of the isolated head of the regime at the time “Muhammad Morsi” without announcing his reservations about that, which was evident in the (Conference of the Legitimacy and Reform Authority to Support Syria), on June 15, 2013, and in the presence of the country’s president at the time, “Muhammad Morsi”, when the Salafist “Muhammad Abd al-Maqsoud” attacked those who called for exit in  June 30, describing them as (infidels who apostate from the religion of Islam), without the isolated “Muhammad Morsi” interfering at all at the time to stop him, and this confirms and highlights the extremist terrorist takfiri expiatory though of the Brotherhood in the face of everyone who disagrees with them, despite their continuous rhetoric of renouncing violence, but  Reality confirms that violence is an integral part of the Brotherhood’s ideology.  And I am the most vivid example of what they did to me on a personal level, and indeed to all of us.
