Have Jewish hands extended into Egypt to liquidate scientists?

A question that reveals the truth of dependency and exposes the regime's inability to protect the country and its people

The assassination of the engineer specializing in nuclear chemistry in Alexandria was not just a random criminal act, and it cannot be easily placed in the category of "personal disputes" as the Egyptian regime and the official media are trying to portray it. The timing, the nature of the specialization, the method of execution, and the surrounding political environment all lead to asking the big questions that the regime avoids answering, and even fears to ask. The questions that people ask today are legitimate, even necessary: Have Jewish hands begun to extend into Egypt to liquidate what remains of its scientific capabilities? And is it the turn of the regime's political and military ally to offer its scientific cadres as a sacrifice to maintain the relationship in light of dependency? And does the regime really not know who is behind this crime? Or is the most it can do to manage a closed investigation play that does not touch the truth?

When a scientist, or a researcher related to a strategic specialization, or an engineer who possesses sensitive knowledge is killed, the first question that arises is who benefits? Especially if we look at the facts in the region during the past decades, the Jewish entity was the most involved in the assassination of Arab and Muslim scientists, from Iraq and Iran to Syria and Lebanon, and targeted experts in physics, chemistry, communications, aviation, and missiles. Is it unlikely that its hand will extend to Egypt, in light of a declared security alliance, existing intelligence coordination, and continuous contacts? Is it unlikely that the Jewish entity will continue to work to strip the countries of the region of any scientific or research capability that constitutes the seeds of a future military capability?

Whether the victim is currently working in his field or not, the question remains: Why this rapid media emphasis that the specialization has nothing to do with the incident?! And why this insistence on turning the issue into a "personal quarrel" before the investigation is complete?! Is it not the custom of the security services in Egypt to monopolize information and prevent the announcement of hypotheses before the investigation is complete, so why did they rush this time?!

The insistence on closing the door to any suspicion of political or external assassination shows that the regime fears opening this door, because opening it leads to a bigger question: Why is it unable to protect the scientists of its country? And why can a foreign hand extend inside Egypt without deterrence?

It is impossible for the regime to be unaware that the Jewish entity is a bitter enemy of the Islamic nation, but the problem is not in the regime's ignorance, but in the nature of its relationship with it. The relationship is not a relationship of enmity as Islam dictates, but rather a relationship of cooperation, security exchange, and political coordination, in which priority is given to preserving power at the expense of preserving the country.

Can a regime that coordinates daily with the occupation forces point the finger of accusation at it? Can a regime that relies on the support of Western powers supporting the Jewish entity for its external legitimacy accuse the "common ally"? Can a regime that derives its survival from the satisfaction of America, the primary sponsor of the Jewish entity, even allow suspicions to be raised about them?

The answer is clear; therefore, the investigation always closes at the limits of "personal dispute", or "passing accident", or "deranged perpetrator"!

These crimes should not be viewed as individual crimes, but rather from the angle of public security and the care of the nation's affairs. If the accused party politically and logically is the Jewish entity, then the legal duty is not a committee of inquiry, but rather protecting the nation and repelling aggression. The question here is: Does the regime have the will or the ability to do that? Can it, while besieging the people of Gaza, allowing gas and electricity to pass through to the Jews, cooperating in security and border files, and voting in its favor in international forums, say that it will retaliate against it?

Sharia requires the state to respond to the attack as an aggression against the entire nation. God Almighty said: ﴿Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you﴾. However, the existing regimes do not move according to this standard, but rather according to the standard of international politics and the interests of the major powers.

Protecting the country and its scientists, repelling aggression, and deterrence are the tasks of a state with real sovereignty, not a regime that has lost its political will. Therefore, the biggest question that this incident raises is not who is the killer? Rather, can a system that is politically, militarily, and economically subordinate to America, the head of disbelief and colonialism, protect Egypt, its capabilities, and its scientists?

The incident, no matter how they try to portray it, is not an ordinary incident, but rather an indicator of the fragility of real security in Egypt, the exposure of the country to hostile forces, and the regime's inability to protect competencies, let alone protect the nation.

O soldiers of Egypt: The events that are happening in Egypt, from the assassination of minds, the waste of energies, and the opening of the country to enemies, reveal that the defect is not in the people or in the soldiers, but in the political leadership that has linked Egypt to relations of dependency, until it has become vulnerable to its enemy. You know before anyone else that Sharia has placed a great responsibility on you to support the truth, prevent injustice, and protect the nation from its enemies. You know that the hand of the Jews has extended in the lands of the Muslims, killing, destroying, and corrupting, and it would not have done so if the nation had a state that establishes the religion of God and defends the Muslims.

Today, we address you with a sincere call, seeking nothing but the face of God: that you fulfill your legal duty to protect the country, stop the hands of the enemies, prevent dependency on the West, and support the nation's project to establish the rule of Islam that preserves blood, protects dignity, and restores the nation's power under the righteous Caliphate on the method of Prophethood.

﴿And what is [the matter] with you that you do not fight in the cause of Allah and [for] the oppressed among men, women, and children﴾
