"Fly Dubai"... How Ugly is Terrorism!

The incident involving the Fly Dubai plane, which was subjected to a vile attempt to bring it down by those who were supposed to ensure the comfort of its passengers and guarantee their safe arrival at their destination, represents a clear betrayal that is forbidden in all philosophies and religions.

The legitimization of betrayal began with the early speeches of political Islam groups, along with Jamal al-Din al-Afghani and Muhammad Abduh, who planned to assassinate the Khedive by blowing up a bridge as he passed over it, and they were only prevented from doing so because they could not find a suicide bomber to execute their plan.

This obstacle was later overcome by the Muslim Brotherhood, which relied on training cadres from a young age in scouting and instilling military values, culminating in the pledge of allegiance to the guide, leading to a special system that has a specific section that compels the Brotherhood member to carry out bombings and assassinations at the mere order of Abdul Rahman al-Sundi, the reckless young man whom Hassan al-Banna appointed as the leader of the secret organization.

This was followed by the failed organizations of Sayyid Qutb and then the organizations of his disciples, which dominated in the 1970s and expanded justifications for terrorism, such as the 'Jihad Group', the 'Military Technical Organization', and the 'Takfir Group', which were led in succession by: Muhammad Abd al-Salam Faraj, Ayman al-Zawahiri, Saleh Suria, and Mustafa Shukri.

The context then evolved to the 'Arab Afghans' in the 1980s and the 'Islamic Group' in the 1990s in Egypt, then terrorism became globalized through 'Al-Qaeda' in the first decade of the new millennium, followed by what was known as the Arab Spring at the beginning of the second decade and then 'ISIS'.

Taking into account the entry of the 'Iranian regime' into the fray since the late 1970s, culminating in its complete subjugation of all previous Sunni groups and subjecting them to its obedience and directives.

The most famous attempts to absolve and justify terrorism relied on 'conspiratorial thinking', which was what occurred in the distortion of this serious incident.

Our countries must nurture the new generation so that they learn the ugliness and brutality of terrorism, and although the majority of the new generation did not witness the horrific events of September 11, they can search for them to understand what the terrorist who wanted to bring down the plane with its passengers was aiming for.

And let the new generation know that terrorism can only be based on 'treachery', as the dean of Arabic literature, Taha Hussein, wrote once after the jeep incident, and as stated in the noble prophetic hadith, 'For every traitor, there is a banner.'

The facts will gradually unfold, but Saudi Arabia has dealt with the incident in all its dimensions in a completely professional manner, with its monitoring towers and airport in Tabuk, and in the high humanitarian dealings and relief for those in need, providing all kinds of support to the victims and ensuring their safety, as is the ethics of Islam and the true values of Arabism.

In the investigation, the facts will gradually emerge in a practical and methodical manner until reaching knowledge of all the details of the incident.

As usual, some Arab clowns who present themselves as political analysts have emerged, refusing to accept reality and denying the facts with outdated and worn-out thinking, affirming that a new normalization can be produced through the killing of dozens and hundreds of civilians for a trivial political purpose that exists only in the mind of this clown or that, especially when they are Arabs who know nothing of the noble values of Arabs and only claim humanity while continuously begging in a shameless manner that cannot be understood humanly.

This is a model of modern terrorism in one of its aspects that is built only on treachery, hiding behind innocent civilians such as the elderly and children to carry out its operations, just like what 'Al-Qaeda' and 'ISIS' used to do, and it is the treachery that was theorized by the 'Muslim Brotherhood' and criticized by Juhayman and his group 'the Salafi Movement' and others.

As for the other terrorism, it is 'militia terrorism', which entirely relies on the 'savagery of minorities', or arming and inciting some Arabs to form armed gangs that are completely subordinate to a non-Arab state, which has been hostile for decades.

Finally, caution against enemies is undoubtedly necessary, but caution against mercenaries is a duty, because they wear the sheep's clothing to cover the hearts of wolves, and extremist ideology is neither a useful "application" nor a unique "artificial intelligence"; it is more dangerous than all of this, as it can turn an ordinary person, regardless of their specialization and distinction, into a ticking bomb that kills those closest before the more distant.
