Hackers of the Mubarak Regime Attacked our Quranism Website Because of this Article

Firstly:
We woke up one morning this week to receive a phone call from a friend, actually one of our fellow Quranists in Jordan, to inform us that hackers have attacked our website ahl-alquran.com and we have to act quickly to preserve the contents of our website. An avalanche of phone calls and email messages came from our Quranist friends to support us and ask about us, and we felt that within the global village and within cyberspace, no limits or barriers would stop Quranists worldwide from contacting one another; thus, no tyrants in the Arab world would ever prevent spread of any information about anything; the era of corruption and tyranny is about to end because of the internet. Later on, after our biological son, Mr. Amir Mansour, who specializes in IT and so on, managed to retrieve the website, we knew that those hackers were employed by the Mubarak regime to destroy our website. The reason: we have published earlier an article attacking Mubarak titled "A Warning Addressed to the Mummified President Hosni Mubarak", and we left it for a week to get larger readership. We expected an attack from hackers but it did not occur, yet. Soon enough, an article (in Arabic, on this link: http://www.ouregypt.us/president/Sadat.html) about the assassination of Sadat in 1981 and how Mubarak (Vice-President at the time) and the Defense Minister Abou Ghazala were accomplices in cooperation with the KSA whose king felt insulted by Sadat at one point. We re-published this article within the news section of our website (http://ahl-alquran.com/arabic/show_news.php?main_id=9829), within a neutral title: "Did Mubarak assassinate Sadat as some people claim?", and on the same day, the Mubarak regime hackers attacked our website to attempt to destroy it. We thank Almighty God that we managed to save our website and preserve its data and learned how to secure and protect our website and its content.
Secondly: our Comment on such hackers attack:
1- This hackers attack in April 2010 was a second time; in August 2009, Saudi hackers attempted to destroy our website, because of our USA Congress speech about how the Saud royal family members have caused massacres of millions of Muslims in the 20th and 21st centuries. It took Mr. Amir Mansour weeks to clean our website of al viruses that hackers used to destroy our website.
2- The hackers attack in April 2010 will not be the last time; Quranists are waging peaceful intellectual war of ideas against the powers of evil, tyranny, and corruption in the Arab world, esp. against the KSA royal family members and the military regime in Egypt. Besides, Quranism (i.e., real Islam) propagated in our website refutes Wahabism and all its clergymen and terrorist organization; we, Quranists, refute them using the Quran and they merely react slowly and awkwardly to our refutations. Their violent reaction is to try to destroy our website; this is an ongoing process of persecuting and attacking Quranists from our relatives in Egypt who are incarcerated and harassed. The hackers failed to destroy our website in their attempt to gag our mouths and confiscate our right of freedom of expression; after confiscating our printed books in Egypt, they try to remove our strong presence in cyberspace; they cannot refute Qurnaism nor our political views.
3- It is strange that our foes never know who are they dealing with; their mean, base attacks increase our perseverance and our vehemence to go on exposing Salafism and Wahabism as well as tyranny and corruption, and this is our insistence and life mission since 1977 till now. We are striving to make the Light of True Islam (Quranism) be known to most people; we never retreat or compromise, and all attacks against our person and our website makes us stronger: we are never deterred by incarceration, being dismissed from our job in Egypt, persecution, terrorizing, intimidation, nor by persecution and torture of our relatives in Egypt by the Mubarak regime. Each crime committed against the innocent peaceful Quranists make Quranism acquire new converts; we need the folly of our foes so that the Quranic Truth reach as many people as possible, since we suffer media blackout. The attacks on our person and our website resulted unexpectedly in a good thing: we are the only Muslim Arab, who is not an American citizen yet, to be chosen to work for one year in USCIRF. Thus, folly of our Wahabi enemies increases our victories and make Quranists increase in number. We thank our Almighty Lord God for this.
4- Thus, this Quranic verse applies 100% now to Wahabis: "...But evil scheming overwhelms none but its authors..." (35:43). Let us quote the whole verse to examine it to show how it applies to our enemies the Sunnite Wahabis: "Priding themselves on Earth, and scheming evil. But evil scheming overwhelms none but its authors. Do they expect anything but the precedent/Sunna of the ancients? You will not find any change in God's method/Sunna, and you will not find any substitute to God's method/Sunna." (35:43). The Quranic term ''Sunna'' does NOT refer to silly Sunnite hadiths; rather, it refers to God's method/way or Quranic sharia and it refers to God's way of dealing with ancient aggressive polytheists and violent, unjust disbelievers by destroying and smiting them: "There is no blame on the Prophet regarding what God has ordained for him. Such is the pattern/Sunna of God among those who passed before. The command of God is an absolute decree." (33:38). Aggressors and persecutors do not learn the lesson from the ancient smitten nations; this applied to Qorayish when it persecuted early believers and it was punished later on by Arab civil wars. God warns all tyrants to take heed and draw this useful lesson so that they repent before it is too late for them: "Have they not journeyed the Earth and observed the fate of those who preceded them? They were superior to them in strength. But nothing can defeat God in the heavens or on Earth. He is indeed Omniscient and Omnipotent." (35:44). Mubarak is very stubborn and brainless in oppressing and dealing harshly with Egyptians calling for reform; the KSA tyrants are very arrogant self-deified persons who evil deeds have surpassed all levels in their oppressing dwellers of Arabia (we do not like to call them 'Saudis'). The KSA regime and the Mubarak regime share one main point: both believe in the Sunnite Wahabism as if it were Islam and part of it above the Quran itself. The only Sunna applied by Muhammad was ONLY the Quran. We wait for God's law to apply on tyrants of Egypt and the KSA who scheme evil all the time: "They planned a plan, and We planned a plan, but they did not notice. So note the outcome of their planning; We destroyed them and their people, altogether. Here are their homes, in ruins, on account of their iniquities. Surely in this is a sign for people who know. And We saved those who believed and were pious." (27:50-53). God will smite such tyrants sooner than we think and will save true believers who dwell in Egypt and Arabia; palaces of the tyrants will remain empty after they will be smitten. This is God's promise that will occur and come true one day soon enough, as it occurred in the past. We remind readers of these glad tidings in the Quran so that real pious believers who dream of victory over tyranny and corruption as well as religious persecution rest assured of imminent victory. Tyrants know that the countdown of the end of their rule has begun already, and their dominance, authority, and power begin to decrease. No one can resist God not stall His decree; "...God has control over His affairs, but most people do not know." (12:21). As always, God says nothing but the Truth.
