<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in"><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong>It is rare that the fighting opponents come to terms, The National Party, symbol of oppression and corruption, and the Muslim Brotherhood, symbol of extremism and terrorism. They agree and unite in committing injustice and oppression against those who differ with them in religion and in sect. That is why, Copts, Shiite, Baha’is and Quranists are all victims of the System and the Brotherhood altogether and at the same time. They both exert all their energies in tarnishing and extinguishing any attempt at protest by their victims, and if a positive repose were to take place, the oppressive corrupt System, along with the extreme Brotherhood, would chase that opportunity and nip it in the bud, that is why they will attempt to enact a law banning Baha’ism as they tried to get a judgment from the State Security Court, to imprison some Quranists under the false fabricated charge of disdaining and scorning religion, to preempt any attempt at reforming Muslims from within Islam by having the Glorious Quran as an arbiter as ordained by Almighty God, glory be to Him.</strong></span></div>

State Security Inspectors arrested Mitwelli Ibraheem, who holds Masters Degrees in both Arabic Language and Islamic Sharee’a from Al Azher, on May 18<sup>th</sup> 2003, after almost two months of illegal incarceration; he was transferred to Higher State Security Prosecution Office, where he was interrogated about his ideas related to issues of reverting out of Islam, and the permissibility for a Muslim women to marry a( people of the book) man. On October 29<sup>th</sup> 2003, the Prosecution Office ordered his release without any charge directed to him. But the Ministry of Interior, under the Emergency Law, issued a warrant for his arrest the same day, thereby, Mr. Mitwelli Ibraheem, remained a prisoner between Wadi Ennetroon and El Wadi El-Jedeed prisons. Until his release on April 7<sup>th</sup> 2006)</strong></span></div>

Sheikh Mitwelli shared his legal interpretations with me in the late nineties and I admired his methodology, his thorough and extensive scrutiny of Hadith, his knowledge in the science of terms and expressions and his expertise in the science of investigating, refuting and setting-right of Hadith. Because of his passion for research, he earned two degrees, from college of Arabic language and Usool Eddine (Roots or principles of religion), to better aid in his research. With the start of his scientific work, the Brotherhood and their cronies from the State Security Office pounced on him and threw him in the dungeons of prison for no other reason than saying; Allah is my only Lord, and nobody else</strong></span></div>

<div style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt 0.25in"><span style="font-size: 15px"><strong>Few days ago, I received an invitation from some noble Egyptians to sign a declaration stressing the rights of citizenry, of religion, of faith and condemning oppression of Copts. The declaration was headlined with a title dear to me (Muslims against discrimination), I readily signed it along with my children. I was taken by surprise when I received an e-mail attacking harshly and severely, all the signees of the declaration as Cross worshipers similar to Satan worshipers, inciting State Security against us. This reminds me of the tight collaboration between the State Security and the extremists since the eighties and until now, and how false deceptive reports used to rain down against me,, from Sheikhs and Muslim Brotherhood, enticing State Security to arrest me, although back then, I was homebound avoiding people. The significance in that e-mail, was the declaration by that Brotherhood affiliate (To hell with citizenry, to hell with its rights, in conformity to what his Sheikh, Mehdi Akef said, to hell with Egypt)</strong></span></div>

Those writings go to extremes in accusing Baha’is of blasphemy and in enticing for their murder. It is enough for you to write the word (Baha’i) in a search engine to be bombarded with forests of information about the apostasy and the denigration of those peaceful Baha’is who never committed aggression against anyone as those extremist terrorists do.</strong></span></div>
