The lethal slogan of the Forces of Freedom and Change (FFC), once again:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is said that between 2019 and 2021, the people asked the FFC to \u201cswallow the Islamists and solve the people\u2019s problems.\u201d Instead, the FFC swallowed the people and solved the Islamists\u2019 problems. Weeks ago, the FFC launched a campaign calling on Trump to designate the Sudanese Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization (whether before or after he \u201cfixes\u201d Venezuela, Greenland, and Iran, and annexes Canada). Trump then issued a decree in mid-January that swallows all Sudanese\u2014barring them from obtaining U.S. immigrant visas\u2014without mentioning the Islamists at all.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A post from 2021<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Yasser Youssef wrote:<\/strong>
\n\u201cOnce upon a time there was a barber who did circumcisions on the side. He carried his circumcision tools to the shop. If someone came wanting a haircut, he\u2019d cut his hair; if someone brought a child for circumcision, he\u2019d circumcise him.<\/strong><\/p>\n

One day, your uncle came driving his son. Finding the shop full of customers, he told the barber: \u2018I\u2019m heading to the market and will be back\u2014after you\u2019re done, give this boy a haircut.\u2019 Your uncle went off, bought vegetables and meat, and returned carrying the basket (back when vegetables were carried in baskets). He found his son sitting there crying, blood streaming from him. He shouted at the barber: \u2018What did you do to my boy?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

The barber replied: \u2018I circumcised him because I found two kids and remembered one was for circumcision and the other for a haircut\u2014so I circumcised one and cut the other\u2019s hair.\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your uncle looked at the barber and said: \u2018If you had any sense at all, wouldn\u2019t the one brought for circumcision be poor and plainly dressed?\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Now we told the FFC: swallow the Islamists and solve the people\u2019s problems. They swallowed the people and solved the Islamists\u2019 problems. By God, there are poor, hungry people who need swallowing. Folks, may God guide us and guide you\u2014focus a little so the revolution isn\u2019t lost.<\/strong><\/p>\n

And peace to you, O homeland.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
