Samer Khair Ahmad – Beyond the Seven Years

The documentary released by Al Jazeera on the anniversary of the Egyptian revolution on January 25, "seven years," triggered a whistle of criticism from members of Islamic movements and not as a protest against the fact that it came to tell the truth or neglected it, a large Arabic display in which the Arab people declare their conversion into atheism and openly portray their views on religion and religion, which remained at the door of silence in the Arab media as well as in modern Arab As civilization.
The film showed the transformation of Egyptian youth after the failure of their great revolution in January 2011 to achieve the goals of its famous motto "Life, Freedom and Social Dignity", which was two aspects: the withdrawal of some of the religion, In the area of ​​atheism and the withdrawal of others from moderate religion in the area of ​​the jihad armed force.
Irrespective of the objectivity of young people in their transformation, ie whether it is an objective response to the restoration of the pre-revolutionary political form of their country, thus undermining their dreams of national progress, democracy and peaceful transfer of power, they have already taken place. The question now is not only to what extent these transformations have spread among Egyptian youth but also to what extent they have spread throughout the Arab world, both in countries whose peoples have seen the revolutions of the Arab Spring or the passion of the peoples as revolutions. What can be said of the follow-up of Arab youth's publications through the parallel media, especially the YouTube website, which allowed them freedom that is not provided by traditional media; audiovisual media and print media; These phenomena and in particular the trend towards atheism, In Egypt, such as Iraq, Morocco, Jordan, Syria and the Arabian Gulf and others necessarily.
The first thing to say is, in this context, a new proof of the relationship between the "religious tide" she knew

"A new proof of the" religious tide "that has been known in the Arab world since the seventies of the century, the cultural crisis that the Arab world is experiencing"

The Arab world from the 19th century to the extremist armed organizations that emerged in Syria, Iraq, Sinai, Libya and others during the revolutions of the Arab Spring, the cultural crisis experienced by the Arab world or in other words: Modern humanity, in the place of the weak, the plundered, the colonized and the oppressed.
The Arabs believed that Islam was their last resort to the achievement of the Renaissance after the failure of the modern Arab state to fulfill this duty through its nationalist and socialist ideas. So, they turned to the religion, hoping to bring Nasser to face the tyrannical power of the West and Zionism. Islamic religion took a form known as "political Islam," expressed by the Salafist, peaceful and violent religious organizations, Political ", in addition to the achievement of cultural progress, not only ceased to change the forms of political organization but also the same religion in the areas of Arab youth today.
That's what the youth said in the film. None of them stated that he had appealed to atheism in protest against the religious interpretations of natural science or astronomy! No, they all complain about atheism for the injustice they suffered or suffered from their peers, they did not find a supporter or savior.
This means that the problem lies primarily in the duty of duty that is not necessarily the responsibility of it. For Arabs, religion has become a tool of love, morality and peace in a political tool. It is fair to say that this transformation is due, at the root of modernism, to Gamal al-Din al-Afghani and to student Muhammad Abdo, who devoted the use of religion as a tool to react to European colonialism in the second half of the nineteenth century as a weapon equivalent to colonial weapons, Responding to what they read in the history of Muslims and the conquests of their first centuries, religion had proposed a moral cultural lever in the era of Muhammad Ali Pasha and his great spectacle, Repha'ah al- Tahtawi did not hesitate to declare what others have in the wisdom expressed by Tahtawi in the famous phrase In Paris: "I saw Islam I did not see the Muslims." Islamic political organizations, led by the Muslim Brotherhood, followed the approach of Afghanistan in the coming decades .
Since then, the Arabs have turned to the "past" of their religion instead of thinking about the future, and they are still.
