How Long Will They Criticize?   

Kuwait Times - 25 July, 2012
Author: Abdullah Bwair

The 2012 National Assembly has held more than 26 sessions which did not discuss citizens' cases. During those sessions no one even spoke about national unity.

‘Determination Yard’ MPs have offered nothing but poor phrases and words. Though every now and then they threaten to go to the streets to pressure the authorities in order to get what they want. Those calls by some political powers to demonstrate at the Determination Yard apparently look like demands for political reforms, but the truth is something else. As some have described it, the calls are based upon revenge, and the proof is in the filthy language we hear from there.

Talking poorly has become a trademark of them. This group talked badly about Kuwaiti men and their symbols, and at the last meeting at the Determination Yard they spoke against the Mubarak dynasty, so what do those people want? They will keep fighting against all the members of the Mubarak dynasty and they will continue to do unless they are stopped when talking against Kuwaiti men and its symbols. We wished that the talk would be political, about reforms and being constructive, not speech that is only critical.

Some political groups and MPs have organized a demonstration in which, while speaking against Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah they used the style of abusing and criticizing everyone who differs with them. Unfortunately, those demonstrators mentioned phrases that cannot be repeated. This case revealed the hate they have displayed against certain personalities like Sheikh Mishaal Al-Ahmad, who is considered one of the best men in the ruling family. We shall not forget his achievements in the National Guards, and many good Kuwaiti people are wondering how long they will continue speaking out against Kuwait symbols?

We hope that wise persons do not participate in any illegal demonstrations, since those MPs who are at the Determination Yard, as some have said, have gone there to demolish and not to build and enact reforms. -Al-Watan
