And the eighth newsletter - your publication (13/7/2020), monitored what the Kuwaiti academic wrote in a tweet on his Twitter account, saying, "Let's play. Something natural for children to play. There is nothing wrong with that. Play is necessary for the health of the children. A natural thing is that We say: It is children 's play. Let's play. "
Al-Nafisi’s tweet came in response to what the UAE’s foreign minister posted on a video on his Twitter account, showing Nafisi and phrases describing him as “terrorism,” and accusing him of supporting the attacks on America in 2001.
In the video, he is also accused of belonging to the Muslim Brotherhood, which the UAE classifies as a banned terrorist group, as well as supporting "terrorist thought."
In turn, the researcher Ibrahim Al-Deeb responded to Al-Nafisi’s tweet, stressing that play destroys entire peoples. He wrote, “But he played extraordinary children, they destroy people and countries.”
It is noteworthy that Dr. Al-Nafisi drew the wrath of the Emirati minister when he described him as children, and Al-Nafisi’s description came when he ridiculed several years ago of a TV clip showing bin Zayed.
Bin Zayed was then returning from abroad, and when asked where his flight was, he said that he was "inspecting the Emirati forces abroad", and Al-Nafisi mocked at the time saying "the children grew up", something that the rulers of the UAE understood as a mockery of them and underestimating them.
The video, published by Abdullah bin Zayed, accusing al-Nafisi of supporting terrorism, had sparked outrage, Kuwaiti and Arab.
