On behalf of the Arab "George Floyd"

The world has risen - and still is - since the death of an African American citizen, George Floyd, suffocated under the knee of a white American police officer (Derek Chauvin) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, in late May. Uprisings in the east and west of the world saw this painful incident as an occasion to denounce the racial racism that black citizens around the world are subjected to, especially in the United States. As for the Arabs, they were divided - as usual - in their vision of the incident between a dreamer who considers these demonstrations as an "American spring" that will lead to the overthrow of the current US administration led by President Donald Trump, and between a mole and a hospital in America by focusing on the police attacks on the demonstrators, and considering that they did not It is a country of freedom and dignity.

However, if the Arab had looked at himself in the mirror, he would have found a picture of "George Floyd" sitting in every corner of his country, from the north in Syria to the south in Somalia, and from the east in Iraq to Mauritania in the far Maghreb. In every Arab country, we have a copy of "George Floyd", whether that is in the racial sense that revolves around the discrimination that we, the Arabs, practice against ourselves, our societies, and our minorities, with their various religious, sectarian, ethnic, and gender backgrounds, or in the tragic and repressive sense with which the Arab authorities deal - especially the organs of Security - with citizens, which is not without contempt, contempt, oppression and tyranny, to the degree that we have reached the stage of organized terrorism that is supervised by the state and sponsored by its institutions.

I remember well how some of the African or Arab families of dark skin in our village in northeastern Egypt, who were closer to the servants and loyalists who worked in the service of their masters at home, were treated with

In the first sense, take an example of what happens to blacks in our country, and how they are dealt with, not only by the authorities that often do not differentiate between black and white in their oppression and tyranny, but on the part of society and people, you will find that the group’s view of the brown skin is not inferior Of contempt, contempt and a sense of inferiority. For the Arab majority, blacks are slaves, the children of slaves, they only marry those of their own color and skin, and they only work in lower positions, whether public or private.

I remember very well how some of the African or Arab families of brown skin were treated in our village in north-eastern Egypt, who were closer to the servants and loyalists who work in the service of their masters in homes and fields for a small fee, and sometimes they are humiliated and tyranny over their rights Simple. I also remember how the children used to scratch and strip them with the color of their skin, without any of the adults interfering to stop them and stop them from this treatment. Everyone is inside them, and if they try to keep it hidden in their behavior.

The issue, then, has cultural and societal roots that are rooted in the collective mind of the Arab peoples who practice their racism and arrogance on each other, despite the fact that the religion of its majority is superior and higher than that, and does not differentiate between a foreign and Arab, or between black and white, except with piety and good deeds. In the Qur’an, the Almighty says: “O mankind! We have created you from remembrance and femininity, and have made you people and tribes to know whether or not you are among you.” In the authentic hadith, the Messenger, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, says, “God does not look at your images and your wealth, but looks at your hearts and your deeds.” And he says in another hadith, “The Lord is disheveled, the more dusty one who is driven by the gates if he swears to God to make him righteous.”

As for the repressive and tragic sense, there was no embarrassment. The surplus of Arab despotism can fill books and volumes. We will not go far .. Take, for example, kidnappings, arrests, killings, fugitives and neglect in prisons to which the Arab citizen is exposed, whether in Egypt, Syria, Sudan, Morocco, Lebanon, Palestine, Jordan, Yemen, Saudi Arabia, the UAE or other Arab countries that have been plagued by corruption And domineering.

Look around to see how a country like Egypt deals with its patients who have been infected by the "Covid 19" virus and who die at hospital gates, as a result of neglect and medical racism in dealing with them.

We have Mohamed Bouazizi, who set himself up in response to the police treatment of him, and we also have Khaled Said, who marked the tenth anniversary of his killing by the Egyptian security forces in 2010 a few days ago. He took hundreds of thousands of Syrians who had been killed and killed by the Bashar al-Assad regime, just as they were under the rule of his father, Hafez al-Assad.

Also, take what happened to the late Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi, who was treacherously killed in his country's consulate in Istanbul, and his body was cut and hidden by the Saudi authorities.

Finally, look around to see how a country like Egypt deals with its patients who have been infected by the "Covid 19" virus and who are dying at hospital gates, as a result of neglect and medical racism in dealing with them.

The tragedy of all of them is no less than the tragedy of "George Floyd". The only difference is that in America there is a vibrant society, conscious and living forces, real media that defends and sympathizes with the weak, and established institutions that protect the rights and hold the criminals accountable. In our country, the situation is miserable. One feels sad and sorrowful when he sees hundreds of thousands demonstrating in solidarity with George Floyd and with black and marginalized people around the world, while the Arab world is covering a deep sleep, and its people do not know whether to rise up in defense of Floyd and his ilk in the Arab countries and Muslims, and they are many, or are they happy and heal in America and its president And its system, hoping to fall!
