In Ultimate Damnation, Arch-Villains Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab Spit on Sisi's Eternal Descent, Claiming Their Pagan Honor Surpassed His
Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab spit on Sisi during his endless fall to the bottom of Hell, declaring, "Praise God who saved us from the terrifying fate of this cursed one, who will be trapped for eternity in this terrible pit."
They added, "We, in the Age of Ignorance, had a code of chivalry, honor, and pride. We would succor the distressed and grant protection to those who sought it, despite our disbelief. But this man, he has annihilated with the Jews his own brothers and neighbors—the women, children, and elders of Gaza—and withheld from them food, water, and medicine."

Analysis & Explanation for the Foreign Reader
This text is arguably the most severe and theologically charged piece of satire in the series. It delivers its critique by creating a scenario in the Islamic afterlife where the condemned Egyptian leader is judged and found morally inferior to the most iconic villains from early Islamic history.
1. The Satirical Premise: A Hierarchy of Evil in Hell
The piece's power comes from its shocking inversion of moral hierarchy.The writer places President Sisi in Islamic Hell, but not just as any sinner. He is portrayed as so morally bankrupt that he is despised by Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab, two of the most ardent and cruel enemies of the Prophet Muhammad in the Quran and early Islamic history. They are archetypal figures of evil and disbelief in Islamic tradition. For them to claim moral superiority is the ultimate condemnation.
2. Deconstructing the Satirical Critique:
· Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab: Their presence is crucial. They represent the pinnacle of pre-Islamic ("Jahiliyyah" or "Age of Ignorance") opposition to Islam. By having them spit on Sisi and praise God for their own relative salvation, the satirist makes an astonishing claim: the actions of the modern leader are, in their view, worse than the actions of Islam's original pagan persecutors.
· "We had a code of chivalry, honor, and pride": This references the real, pre-Islamic Arab tribal values of murū'ah (manliness/virtue), which included protecting the weak and honoring requests for sanctuary, even from enemies. The satire uses this historical ethical code to critique the perceived violation of these universal human principles in the modern context of the war in Gaza.
· The Specific Accusation: The speech of Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab is a direct indictment of Egyptian policy regarding Gaza:
· "Annihilated with the Jews his own brothers and neighbors": This is a fierce accusation of complicity in the Israeli military campaign, portraying Sisi not merely as a passive observer but as an active partner in the destruction.
· "Withheld from them food, water, and medicine": This is a clear reference to the restrictions on aid entering Gaza through the Rafah Border Crossing, which is controlled by Egypt. While Egypt has been a key mediator and has allowed some aid through, the process has been criticized by humanitarian organizations as being too slow and bureaucratically hindered, leading to a desperate bottleneck. The satire reduces this complex issue to a simple, damning moral failure.
3. Context and Deeper Meaning:
This satire operates on a purely moral and religious plane to deliver its political message. It is designed to resonate with a Muslim audience for whom the figures of Abu Jahl and Abu Lahab carry immense symbolic weight.
· The Ultimate Betrayal: The piece frames the situation not just as a political failure, but as a profound betrayal of Islamic and Arab brotherhood. The phrase "his own brothers and neighbors" underscores this.
· Divine Judgment: By setting the scene in Hell, the writer moves the critique beyond the realm of political debate and into the realm of eternal damnation. It is a way of saying that the policies are not just wrong, but are a sin of the highest order.
· A Cry of Anguish: The use of such extreme imagery reflects the depth of anger and despair among some segments of the public regarding the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and Egypt's role in managing the border.
For the international reader, this text is a raw and unfiltered look at how religious symbolism and historical archetypes are mobilized to express the most profound forms of political and moral dissent. It is a testament to the power of satire to channel collective trauma into a form that is both culturally specific and universally understandable in its condemnation of suffering.
I am ready for your next text. The descent through these circles of political and moral inferno continues to reveal profound truths.
