هاجس المؤامرة يسيطر على قطاع عريض من مجتمعاتنا العربية و الاسلامية
فيرى الكثير منا ان أي حدث هو بتحريك أصابع خفية و ايادي خارجية
و هي اول فكرة تتبادر لأذهاننا عندما يحدث خطب جلل هو انه مخطط خارجي

مثلا ثورة مصر و غيرها من ثورات العرب
نقول انه مخطط تقسيم مصر المزعوم

و غير منطقي ان نفسر كل شئ بمؤامرة أولا، بل و نصر إصرارا عنيدا عليها بالرغم من ظهور أدلة على ان الثورات حدث تاريخي شعبي خالص

يجب ان لا نغفل عن ارادة البعض بنا السوء، و لكن في نفس الوقت لا يجب ان يكون ذلك هو أول تفسير، و لا التفسير الوحيد، في وجود تفاسير منطقية اخرى لها أدلة قوية

و لكي تكون النظرية التآمرية منطقية

كتبت في مواضع اخرى عن انتشار هواجس المؤامرات في الشعوب العربية و الاسلامية، و في مصر خاصة بعد الثورة

و قابلية العقل العربي المعاصر على اللجوء الى التفسير التآمري للاحداث بدون أدلة و لا قرائن و لا شواهد، ضار بشدة لمجتمعاتنا اشد الضرر

لانها تلهينا عن تقصي الاسباب الحقيقية للامور، و تجعلنا نطارد اشباح وهمية، و تشعرنا بالعجز و قلة الحيلة

و يبدو ان هاجس المؤامرة ليس مقصورا على الشعب، بل هو متجذر في الاجهزة الحكومية ايضا، بما فيها الاجهزة الامنية

مثلا المخابرات العامة و المخابرات الحربية و الامن القومي و الامن الوطني

Another "March of millions" day Tuesday in Egypt. Many media outlets call it the largest to date among Egypt's protests since January 25. This goes directly against the claim that the protests are losing momentum.

The Telegraph reported that Omar Suleiman was the most acceptable candidate for Israel to succeed Mubrak, among other things.

Let us recap the regime's dirty tricks, lest we forget.

Every time Mubarak gave a speech, he gave very little concessions, and it is followed by a dirty trick.

The first speech appointed a vice president who is a copy of himself (military career, pro-Israel and pro-USA, loyal to his superior, no flexibility, no leadership qualities). It was followed by the withdrawal on Friday January 28 of all the police forces from the streets. Not only riot police, but security for prisons, museums, banks, government building, borders, ...etc.

A quiet day on the streets. Although there are demonstrations, and the protesters are still in Tahrir Square, there were no clashes. The army tried to talk to the protesters and ask them to leave, but they shouted "We will not leave! He [Mubarak] has to leave!" and the army negotiator left.

We are hearing of more support for the revolution from prominent figures and organizations every day.

Today was a great turnout for the Day of Departure. Reports estimated 2 million in Cairo, 1.5 million in Alexandria, and many elsewhere.

The demonstrations were peaceful, with pro-Mubarak supporters

Some demonstrators wanted to march to the presidential palace at the end of the day, but there did not seem to be concensus on it, so it did not happen. TV reported that a week ago, there was one tank near the presidential palace, and today, there was 60 of them and barbed wire barricades.

This is a background article on the Egyptian revolution of January 25, 2011.

It was originally published on January 27,2001 on Slashdot, and needs to be expanded for details at a later point.

There is a lot of confusion on various forums, and mainstream media coverage in the USA seems not up to par. Europe's coverage is much better, and Canada somewhere in between.

The church bombing on New Year's Eve got more coverage than this history in the making period.

Today was a mixed day, with anticipation, hope and fear.

First we have Ahmed Shafik, the newly appointed prime minister, apologize for Wednesday's massacres, even though there were killings overnight, and clashes in the morning with regime thugs.

"Battle for the Future of Egypt"

The details of the massacre today in Tahrir Square have emerged and it is a harrowing day.

Just a hours after the embattled Hosny Mubarak promised he would not run in elections again, a very ugly day unfolded.

Mubarak supporters, either paid, brainwashed, or coerced have been pouring to the streets. They are a mix of government employees that were told by the bosses they have to go, some given money to do so, and the ubiquitous multi-purpose thugs.
