Media Recalls the Crimes of the Muslim Brotherhood and Their Attempt to “Burn Egypt”

The prominent Egyptian writer Wahid Hamed, author of the television series Al-Gama’a, stated that, for the Muslim Brotherhood, the concept of a homeland is merely a prize, and fighting those who reject this view is permissible according to their corrupt doctrine. This aligns with the remarks of writer and historian Lamis Gaber, who affirmed that the Muslim Brotherhood was responsible for the Cairo fire in 1952 to serve the British, at a time when confrontations in the Suez Canal were at their peak. She explained that members of the Brotherhood attacked the “Diana” cinema in Cairo, removed film reels, destroyed seats, and attempted to set the cinema on fire.

Historian Gaber added that a group from the Brotherhood attacked the “Ahki ya Shahrazad” cabaret across from the cinema under the pretense of combating “immorality and vice.” She noted that cinema owners often hired people to protect their venues from assaults. Eyewitnesses reported that vehicles belonging to the Misr al-Fatah party, which was close to the Brotherhood, circulated in the capital distributing Molotov cocktails to fuel the fire, as reported by Egyptian media.

Former Brotherhood leader Tharwat al-Kharbawi, who defected from the group, also confirmed the organization’s role in the Cairo fire. He disclosed that orders had been given to the Brotherhood to set Cairo ablaze, especially after the events of January 25, 1952, when 30,000 British soldiers stormed the Ismailia governorate. Egyptian officers courageously defended their posts with light arms, but the British army committed a crime against humanity, killing 50 Egyptian officers on what is now celebrated as Police Day.

The investigation into the Cairo fire of 1952 revealed that Ibrahim Shoukri, leader of the Misr al-Fatah party, hinted extensively that the Muslim Brotherhood was involved in the fire, a role later confirmed by Abdel Mohsen Hamouda, a former senior figure of the Wafd movement in the 1940s.

The Brotherhood‘s recent years of terrorist operations appear to continue this pattern of destruction, with “burning Egypt” as their theme. Among the most notable crimes are:

Brotherhood members burned down the Warraq police station and attacked the Kerdasa police station, resulting in the death of the station chief, his deputy, and around 12 other police officers. They also destroyed the building and set fire to several police vehicles and armored cars.
