AN ACCOUNT OF WHAT HISTORY HAS NEGLECTED: AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF ONE FROM THE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD

Not all rich and famous find a place in history and they fall in the cracks, intentionally get dumped in drafts of manuscripts or end up as scrap paper in the trash. In the same time, an idiot big shot or an imbecile ruler may get the attention of historians who list his great deeds. However, no mention will be made of his countrymen who labored in many hard undertakings and who collectively achieved the great goals. No wonder, people erect statues of historical figures and may place them in public squares. Based on historical tales, ancient people used to worship such key figures as gods. Now, some are worshiped before they kick the bucket.By neglecting the history of the eventful life of ordinary folks which represents a prevailing contemporary phenomenon, such as torture of political detainees, media bias, secret police, house raids, monkey trials, etc. one is neglecting the heart of the events taking place all around the paper. This is in addition to defacing the real history of people. As a part of the "An Account of what history has neglected" series, this autobiography record a dark period era of life in Egypt during the reign of Gamal Abdelnasser. It shows the supposition that "dissent is the highest form of patriotism". It also validates what Abd al-Rahman al-Kawakibi has presented in his book "The Nature of Despotism" about tyranny and dictatorships.
