Here, I used to introduce guests according to their history, fame, publications, or even their important visions, and every time when I start introducing a character from the dialogue on this page, “controversial,” I go to read about them and dig into their papers in order to come up with glimpses of them that reveal part of their uniqueness, distinction, and raising questions. .
My guest today, however, I do not think needs any kind of introduction; As his name is the one who presents himself throughout his written history nearly 40 years ago when he began writing and publishing in the early eighties AD, and his bitter sarcasm shone from an early age through his daily newspaper column “exclamation mark” on the last page of the Kuwaiti newspaper Al-Watan before his daily angle stopped. Four years ago, following an article that the newspaper did not publish and asked him to deny it, but he refused to do so, and the guest of “Okaz” was explaining, with his burning criticism, extremist religious organizations, some merchants and businessmen, and advocated for women and their rights.
He is the famous Kuwaiti writer Fouad Al-Hashem, (65 years), the most controversial Arab writer and journalist, who is facing today 251 cases brought against him by the former Qatari Prime Minister, “Hamad bin Jassim”, and he is awaiting demands from the Kuwaiti judiciary for imprisonment and trial .. and despite all that He showed us his absolute courage in going out with us in this heated dialogue, and he is in full loyalty to his previous convictions towards the Qatari regime, indifferent to all that is simulated against him, stressing that whatever they do, he will not leave them and will remain behind them, exposing the conspiracies of these Arabists, as he describes them, expressing his vision of the Gulf Cooperation Council. Which brought him, that is, the Council, Hamdeen’s dirty plot to the track of being lost, stressing that the song “Our Gulf is one” will change its vocabulary to “Our Gulf is three: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and the Emirates are one bloc, Oman and Qatar are one bloc, and Kuwait is alone among its neighbors!” Here are the details of the fierce dialogue:
• What is the latest news of your case with Hamad bin Jassim? How do you see the court order to arrest you?
•• The latest news of my cases with Hamad bin Jassim continues in the courts, and the arrest and imprisonment order continues to haunt me in a media case. I criticized his actions on my TV show called “With the Hashem” in 2012; That is, five years ago, and the case has been circulating in the courts, the prosecution, and state security. If I return to Kuwait today, handcuffs and handcuffs will be waiting for me at the airport, out of honor for the eyes of “Al-Hamdeen”!
• Since years before the Qatar crisis, you have been warning about Qatar and its vicious plans.. Was it speculation? And did this hostile language hurt you that its consequences followed you at that time?
A: I have been writing and exposing Qatar’s conspiracy since 2007 through a long and continuous series of articles in Al-Watan newspaper, and later on my TV programme. The result was 251 cases filed by Hamad bin Jassim and dozens of law firms that he appointed to pursue me! Half of the press in the Arab world insults him, and half of it criticizes him, but he did not file this number of cases except against one Kuwaiti journalist, just me!
Plot uncovered
• How do you explain the position of the Kuwaiti judiciary towards this issue, while you were defending Kuwait and the Gulf in general?
•• The Kuwaiti judiciary applies media laws legislated by the Kuwaiti National Assembly, so it is the duty of the nation’s representatives to take the initiative to correct this loophole and fill it with those who wanted to overthrow the regime in Kuwait, and not seek the help of its judiciary to prosecute those who exposed it!
• The constitution in Kuwait tends towards freedoms and democracies.. Don't you notice that there is too much looseness on the part of some money-paid tweeters?
A: This is true, but the Anti-Cybercrime Department pursues them and transfers them to the Public Prosecution Office, and from there to the court, and many of them have been imprisoned.
• But even before the Qatari crisis, you were sharp-tongued against Qatar, attacking it with words that move away from analysis and criticism and turn to direct words that may have legal reservations?
•• 99% of the cases brought against me by the former Prime Minister of Qatar consider them an insult to Qatar, its leadership and its people! I used to criticize his policies in the so-called Arab Spring, but he claims that they are against Qatar as a whole! I have been writing since 1980, and until 1995 – the time of the coup in Qatar – I did not write a single letter about Doha and I did not visit Doha and I do not even know where Doha is located, but after the coup and after that suspicious role that it played, I shed my pen on it five days a week throughout Years of exposing its plots!
• Do you see a relationship between the boycott of Qatar and the calm now in Syria and Iraq, for example? And what is this relationship?
•• Certainly it is an inverse relationship; For whenever the hand of Doha was absolute, the blood of the Arab Muslims would be shed without reckoning, but since we cut off their hands and feet from opposite sides; And because they caused corruption in the land, with that boycott, the bleeding of these souls was reduced or stopped!
• If Qatar and you raised your concerns about its goals more than a decade ago, why – in your opinion – was it only attacked and boycotted now, despite the evidence leaked years ago about many recordings?
•• Because Washington, under the Obama administration, was their protector, and therefore we swallowed the “razor” that kept wounding and tearing our depths, and we endured the pain, perhaps those “Arabized” people would return to their senses, but it was useless until the Merciful gave us “Trump” who came as an angel compared to his predecessor. Black Devil!
Loss of security
• She says: «The French and the English cooperated in the flag trade, so they invented the Concorde plane! Doha and Ankara cooperated in the trade of religions, creating the brains of Wajdi Ghoneim! ».. Far from this bitter irony, how can we confront the (brains) of the Muslim Brotherhood?
•• Confronting the brains of the Brotherhood was initiated – may God protect him – by Prince Muhammad bin Salman, the Saudi Crown Prince, and he pledged at the last conference of the giant project "NEOM" to destroy it completely! He is able to prevent it with His permission. Because the return for not doing so is the loss of Saudi national security and perhaps the dismemberment of the third Saudi state!
• Why do you seem unenthusiastic about the recent US stance towards Iran, as stated in sarcastic pictures and tweets on your official account on Twitter?
•• The American position towards Iran is governed by institutions and control tools within the United States, not by the president alone, and we must watch and wait!
• You say, wondering: If Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali Al Thani, a descendant of the rulers of Qatar, froze his assets, how about a Kuwaiti journalist who has been chasing him for 10 years with lawsuits, fines, and prisons?.. What is your legal position on all these prosecutions?
•• It is not only Sheikh Abdullah bin Ali who faces the injustice of the Hamdeen, but there are dozens of sons of the Gulf ruling family who were devoured by scabies and diseases in the Qatari “Abu Hamour” prison, which is worse than the Iraqi “Abu Ghraib” prison. They pursue a Kuwaiti with cases and pay a million dollars every six months to many Kuwaiti law firms in order to imprison him, fine him, seize his car, furnish his house, and prevent him from traveling? But I "saw them and it's been a long time"!
• Why this frantic attack from you on Twitter on your country Kuwait, especially when you cited the Kuwaiti government's cow joke that the joke is sweet and realistic? Is it revenge and settling scores against the government for the Kuwaiti judiciary accepting the cases of Hamad bin Jassim against you?
•• The wise government of Kuwait enjoys media flogging, and cannot live and work – if it works at all – without provoking people's anger. So they resort to the press and media professionals to broadcast their complaints to us, so we publish them accompanied by our comments. Some believe that this is a journalist's revenge against a minister or a media person against an official, but this is not true at all!
• How do you see the future of the Gulf Cooperation Council in light of this crisis?
•• The Cooperation Council, in the form that we know it, followed the path of “the one who goes and does not return.” This is part of Hamdeen’s dirty plot and a price for allowing them to overthrow the late Emir Khalifa and take over the reins of power, then receive Shimon Peres.. and let the dirty journey begin!
• Will the demographics of the Cooperation Council be affected by what is happening now? And if the Cooperation Council has gone astray, according to your description, what is the future?
•• The demographics of the GCC countries are too strong to be affected by random naturalization in Kuwait, Qatar or any other country, and the song “Our Gulf is One” will change its vocabulary to “Our Gulf is Three: Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and the Emirates are one bloc, Oman and Qatar are one bloc, and Kuwait is alone among its neighbors! »
weak country
• Chairs of government in the Arab countries, especially the Gulf region, do you expect changes in them?
•• Changes in the chairs of government in the Arab and Gulf countries are possible, God forbid, and can happen now more than ever, because the Arab world before the conspiracy of creative chaos is completely different from what comes after it!
• Countries that witnessed the ravages of wars and strife, such as Syria, Yemen, Iraq and Libya, and others in which precursors of the Arab Spring occurred, such as Egypt, how do they anticipate the future of all of them?
•• Egypt will rise economically and become one of the tigers of the Middle East, and Yemen will lead to more poverty in the north and prosperity in the south. And I see that “North Yemen” will become North Korea, and South Yemen will become “South Korea.” However, I think Syria will be like an open wound that lacks antiseptics! It will remain open, oozing pus, blood, and sectarianism for a long time. As for Libya, there is still a long way to go, and Iraq will not return to being Arab unless…!
• Do you see hope for the Kurds to secede after the events of Iraqi Kurdistan?
•• The Kurds are victims of all regimes in Iraq, Turkey, Iran and Syria. They are the owners of the forgotten revolution 80 years ago, and separation will not happen because they are a strong people, but they live on the land of a weak, almost dead state entity!
• Finally.. what do you say to these:
(1) Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman?
•• I wish Your Highness the Prince was born at least 30 years before your real date of birth so that we do not witness a criminal like Juhayman, Bin Laden and others!
(2) Hamad bin Jassim?
•• “On the Day when neither wealth nor children will benefit except those who come to God with a sound heart.”
(3) Hamad bin Khalifa, Al-Qaradawi and Azmi?
•• “They are the enemy, so beware of them.
(4) Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi?
•• May God bless your kind efforts to purify the land of Egypt from every traitorous brother and every cowardly Qatari agent!
