When Youth Blog

Posted by thoughts

For those who do not know what is happening in the Egypt, the governement under the leadership of a humanbeing (which i doubt), has freezed the assets of 30 of the leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) Movement in Egypt. These 30 businessmen include Engineer Khayrat Al-Shater, Dr. Abdel-Rahman Soudi, and Dr. Hassan Malek and 27 more businessmen and university professors.
This attack by the government which is still going on and more are being arrested from the Muslim Brotherhood has motivated a lot of the youth of that movement to speak out what they cannot say, they began to blog. When you have a lot to say, when you don’t know how to make your voice reach everyone in the world, you are automatically directed towards the world wide web. This is what hapenned in Egypt. Over the past couple of decades, the youth of that movement have been brought up on secrecy, not to say what know, not to try to know what you don’t need to know. Till the last Egyptian Parliment elections in which the MB has won 88 seats, just before that elections, it was very clear that the MB is taking another trend in dealing with the corrupted media (looks like the corrupted media is everywhere). They began to do everything in public, they said “We do not have anything to hide. We are on the right path, and Our Daa’wa has to reach everyone in Egypt and in the whole world.”
When the MB youth released the power and the talents they have, they did amazing stuff. If you check their blogs, you will just feel that this is incredible, knowing that all of them are youth. It’s just amazing to see what the youth can do. I personally knew some of them, but I never thought that they had all of these talents. Here are some links of these blogs:

http://www.ihoudaiby.blogspot.com/
http://www.ana-ikhwan.blogspot.com/
http://ikhwanyouth.blogspot.com/
And there are many many other blogs.
These blogs raise several points:
The youth can do something. They can be a change in this world. We just need to trust them, give them hope. Not just keep on saying “You are 26 yrs old, you do not have the experience that me the 60 yrs old has”. I agree the experience that the 60 yrs old has, is much much more than the experience of the 26 yrs old, but the youth has to take a chance. Sayedna Ossama, he was 16 yrs old when he lead an army that had 60 yrs old and they were companiens, but still no one thought that he does not have experience.
There is still a lot that can be done. First everyone thought that we did all what we were able to do, but agian came something knew that we can utilize and can be more effective that a lot of other things.
This is a question, that i’m sure that a lot of people here are thinking about, what can we do from where we live whether it’s USA, or Canada??
If you see when 2ostadh Khayrat Al-Shater, was saying from behind the bars “Even if they take our lives, We will not leave this country”. It raised a lot of questions in me, maybe I will lay them down in another topic soon ISA
