The Bearded Friday Battle

Quick read into what happened today at Tahrir Square:

Sheikh Hazem Shoman

 

Salafists lack the political maturity and I guess it's unfair to count them as political group to begin with.

They have broken political agreement. Thus, their calculations were limited as they hided behind their numbers and the street sympathy with Islamic rhetoric due to continuance prosecution of Islamists since 54. However, long term effect was antagonizing their adversaries.

Salafists' political naivety shows MB as the only mature and responsible Islamic group in Egypt. a Free favor by immature rival.

Lesson 1: Salafist are NOT a political group as everyone else like to present them and I guess  this confusion started when SCAF sought their mediation on political and sectarian conflicts. They lack autonomous organization and political vision.

Lesson 2: Salafists proven they can not play politics with bungling performance on the squar today. Yet, they introduced  themselves as a spoiler group. Salafists’ pundits and large loyal followers can ONLY tarnish political gains of any political group.

Lesson 3: Realistic estimation of on ground power of Salafists [ no evasion and no exaggeration] is critical to any political group to win. Since winning cannot be granted unless Salafists are neutralized

Lesson 4: at this point political unity is not realistic approach. getting ready for elections is. MB are very ready & former NDP [check countryside]

SCAF has already neutralized Salafists as an adversary during Imbaba battle
