Chapter 1737: Internal and External Dilemma (Please Give Me a Monthly Ticket!!! Please Subscribe!!)

Tianqi doesn't like religion because he is very arrogant and thinks that he is a god and everyone needs to kneel down and worship him. Therefore, in Egypt under his rule, no other gods were allowed in any temple, only his statue was allowed to remain.

But the problem is, religion, if God is right next to you... it won't spread at all. Even those deceptive cults will make gimmicks, such as they believe in God or Buddha. Anyway, the leader of the cult always has a statue on his head, and then the leader is the spokesperson, son, prophet, etc. of God. In short It's all a routine.

But there will never be a situation where a god is right in front of you...because if the god is not worshiped, there will be no sense of holiness. After all, everyone worships God, to put it bluntly, out of their own needs. Some people worship God because they want something, some people worship God because they have regrets, and some people worship God because they are afraid. In short, no one is Simple worship.

When a living God is in front of you but cannot satisfy you, you will naturally stop worshiping him. But it is different when God is worshiped, because those who oppress you in the name of God will tell you that you are not sincere, that you are not respectful to God, that you are guilty, and that you... In short, they have thousands of ways to tell you. You, God has not responded to your petitions, the reason is not God, but you.

But if a person’s request is inexplicably successful, that’s easy. Congratulations, you are favored by God, and everything you have is because of God’s arrangements! So you must believe in gods more devoutly!

Therefore, Apocalypse has always felt that he is a god, and has always emphasized that he is a god, but those slaves are still willing to risk execution to secretly believe in those false gods.

This makes Tianqi very unhappy, so he hates religion.

But after coming to real society, he found that he seemed to be able to use religion. Especially in this place with such a strong religious atmosphere. In fact, Egypt has always been a secular society, and religion does not have a strong say here. However, with the social turmoil, economic collapse, and people living in dire straits, the role of religion in soothing people's hearts has been infinitely magnified. In reality, It’s already so miserable, why aren’t we allowed to seek peace in religion?

In particular, although Egypt has been committed to secularization, religious forces have never given up. On the contrary, the more they are suppressed, the more deeply rooted they are in the hearts of the people.

In fact, Egypt's economy has never been better. The foundation is too poor. Coupled with the failure of the war, the entire country has fallen into a kind of decadence. This decadence is not only the morale of the people, but also the failure of the war, which has destroyed the finances. .

Later, the president was assassinated by religious extremist forces, which led to the military taking power. This led to the military's influence extending into all aspects of the country, and even the economy was affected by the military. Can this country be better? (This was also the fault of the first two presidents)

As a result, the country's economy has been sluggish, and the natural talent is indeed not very good.

Amid internal and external troubles, religious influence has become a stubborn disease.

But for the weather, this stubbornness is just right. Because religion can naturally win over the people at the bottom.

At the same time, the people at the bottom are really easy to fool!

Using the guise of religion to deceive others is accurate.

How did Apocalypse do it?

Do you know Zhang Jiao?

That’s right! Tianqi heals people!

Although it sounds cliché, the problem is that it works!

Those people at the bottom are already poor, and medical treatment is always the biggest expense. They don't dare to get sick at all. Once they get sick, the minor illness is okay, they can buy some medicine and tolerate it and it will be over. Once they get seriously ill, they will either go bankrupt and have nothing, or they will go bankrupt and have nothing plus no one. .

I don’t dare when I’m sick!

But it doesn’t matter, come to Tianqi!

No medicine, no examination, just a touch and it will be fine.

Isn't this a miracle?

So very quickly, Apocalypse attracted a large number of believers.

Although Islam clearly states that Muhammad is the last prophet, it is absolutely against the teachings for them to follow the revelation as the new prophet. But in fact... the real poor people have always been half-informed about the teachings.

In fact, this is the norm. After all, both the Bible and the Quran are big books. Many people will never be able to finish reading it in their lifetime... As for those who remember it all and study it deeply, there are even fewer people. This is also why there are priests and imams, because ordinary people need them to explain what the scriptures tell them about what is written in the scriptures.

Just like many Buddhists, apart from knowing a few ordinary scriptures, they don’t know any other scriptures... They know more Buddha statues than scriptures.

Everyone's religious beliefs are more about their lifestyle habits.

Of course they are in awe of religion, but awe cannot replace real life.

And now, the gods they fear cannot save them, but the people in front of them can!

So what's wrong with him being a prophet?

As for those extremists... let's put it this way, after the Apocalypse appeared, some of these people were more fanatical than ordinary people, and some disappeared permanently.

Fear is the most powerful weapon used by religion to control people.

For example, all religions will tell you not to do bad things, not to despise gods, and not to rebel against the church, otherwise you will go to hell.

Or be reincarnated as a beast.

At the same time, violence is also a powerful means for religion to control people. After all, going to hell or being reincarnated as beasts is what happens after they die, and if they explode, they will die.

But when these violences encounter more violent existences...they are useless.

...

In just half a month, the whole of Cairo fell into a strange frenzy.

Because those superheroes all believe in the new prophet, and they all use the name of the prophet to eliminate evil. This undoubtedly further raised the prestige of the prophet.

Tianqi also moved from the civilian house originally converted from a tomb to the famous mosque in Cairo - Sultan Hassan Mosque!

By the way, Sultan Hassan Mosque and another very famous Rifai Mosque are close together, and even the outermost gate is shared. The two were built in different years. Sultan Hassan Mosque was built in 1356, and Rifai Mosque was built in 1869 (completed in 1912). Rifai Mosque is the resting place of the last royal family member of Egypt, Governor Ismail, and the last Iranian king Pahlavi II. The walls inside are decorated with gorgeous tiles by believers. Sultan Hassan Mosque is a famous mosque in Egypt. It is located at the end of Muhammad Ali Street in the southeast of Cairo. It is a group of magnificent buildings built by Sultan Hassan of the Mamluk Dynasty. It covers an area of ​​7,906 square meters. It was built in 1356 and completed in 1363. The whole project took 33 years to complete. It is full of Islamic architectural art. Some people think it is the most beautiful mosque in the Middle East and is described as the pearl of Islamic architecture. It is one of the representative buildings of the Mamluk Dynasty, solemn and majestic. There are two minarets in the temple. The tower on the south is 85 meters high, the highest in Cairo, equivalent to a 30-story building. It is very difficult to climb the minaret, but you can overlook the panoramic view of Cairo including the pyramids from above.

The building is designed in a cross shape, including the Great Mosque, the seminary, Sultan Hassan's tomb and minaret and other major buildings. The strict balance and symmetry embodied in the cross-shaped design symbolize eternity and give the temple a solemn beauty.

The entire mosque is famous for its magnificence and solemnity, and is even called the most beautiful mosque in the Islamic world.

As for why Apocalypse moved in... it's really not that easy.

Now this mosque is actually managed by the government, but as those so-called "superheroes" became famous, the government immediately targeted these mutants, and their first reaction was naturally to suppress them.

There is no way. Egypt was determined to be a secular country when it was founded, and no matter which generation of leaders, they have tried their best to suppress religious forces. When they heard that a group of superpowers were making trouble under the guise of prophets, they naturally suppressed them at the first time... but soon, they gave up.

Because they couldn't beat them at all...

Although Egypt is a country controlled by the military, it... really can't be beaten.

So they turned to seek cooperation.

After all, there are still many benefits to having superheroes. For example, Benjamin and Kai are the best examples. Benjamin and Kai are strongly bound, which can win him a lot of votes.

Even if something really happens, there are two completely different levels of security with and without superheroes.

So those Brotherhood mutants made their demands without hesitation.

The prophet lives in the best mosque, is there a problem?

The Egyptian government is very open about this. Anyway, this thing is public property, not their private property, so they give it away. Besides, the ownership is still theirs! Are you anxious?

Is the Mutant Brotherhood going to take the upper route?

Of course not!

Cooperation with the government here is just to further promote its reputation!

The prophet is recognized by the government!

In fact, the government has never recognized it. Even in Tencent and news reports, the prophet's name did not appear. The government actually wanted to deal with it coldly. They sought cooperation and the other party agreed. That's easy. It's a good thing to be able to exchange interests!

As long as they corrupt slowly, one day they will be in collusion.

It's good for everyone to make money, isn't it?

As for the tricks of Apocalypse, in their view, it's just a trick of cults to cheat money... Where are there no cults these days?

It's not new for cults to cooperate with the government. The Koreans are very familiar with this.

Didn't the West say that we are not free?

Look at religious freedom! Not free enough? In the Islamic world, religious freedom is definitely ahead of the times!

They threw the constitution to the ground (the Egyptian constitution stipulates that Islam is the state religion).

In short, it is just a sham.

Yes, the Egyptian government did not publicize this matter, at least people in other parts of Egypt did not know that there was such a prophet. But the people of Cairo knew it!

Although the government is very lame, it is still a legitimate government and has credibility.

Who the hell doesn't know that Tianqi moved to Hassan Mosque? This is recognized by the government?

At least the lower-class people in Cairo know it.

So the influence is even wider!

This is also the reason why the Brotherhood will talk to the government... Is it really necessary to preach on their own? Tianqi does not really care about the lives of the lower-class poor. It's okay to pretend, but he can't bear to preach.

This is a small house.

Of course it is enjoyable.

At the same time, the next plan has also begun.

That is to incite contradictions!

This is simpler. In fact, the whole of Cairo has long become a big powder keg.

Although the government is trying hard to get rid of this situation, the question is who can save them?

The answer is, no one can save them.

This broken place is really unlucky.

Don’t even mention them, even their neighbors have nothing… Like Egypt, they also have to import food from Eastern Europe… But the problem is that the shipping industry has not recovered yet. This thing really cannot be restored in one or two years.

Egypt doesn’t know who to ask for help, Europe is too far away and can’t reach it. The neighbors are even poorer than them, and they can’t be relied on even more.

As for the American father, there is even less to rely on. (Except for their neighbors, Egypt is the largest recipient of US aid in the Middle East)

Now that the United States is shrinking globally, it can’t even take care of its own son. Egypt is a wild child that can’t even be a godson, so naturally it has no interest in taking care of it.

Egypt is bombed, so it’s bombed, can it bomb North America or what?

So Egypt has a lot of internal contradictions, and the American son… No, it’s the living father! The little bully in the Middle East is not having a good time either… Why is it not having a good time? There is a saying that it is called self-security worries.

There is no way, the little bully is too arrogant. As a result, after so many years in the Middle East, there are no friends and enemies everywhere.

In the Middle East, there are many conflicts among countries, some political, some religious, and the relationship between countries is so chaotic. Don't even think about reaching any consensus on this land, but there is only one consensus that everyone recognizes, that is, to seize the opportunity to destroy the "Little Bully"!

In the past, the Little Bully didn't care, after all, there was the United States behind them, who the hell could touch them? The entire Arab world is full of conflicts, and it is impossible to form a joint force, so they are unscrupulous. No one cares, and finally a reliable leader wants to sign a peace agreement.

This agreement is actually very important. If it is really implemented, the Little Bully may really be able to gain a foothold in the Middle East.

But this reliable leader was assassinated just after signing the agreement and returning to the country, and his successors were more radical than one another.

People hate him.

The United States is now in decline, and the world is shrinking. Who is the most panicked?

Of course it's the Little Bully.

They really want the United States to stay in the Middle East, but the problem is that the United States really can't take care of it, even if you are the father!

In this case, how could the little bully not worry about their own security environment? There are people around who want to kill them... They also know very well what they have done in these years. It is not unfair to be killed by others.

So something must be done.

Get along well with the people around?

It is too late, and because of the training in these years... there are really too many radical elements in the country.

And because they have been the king for too long in these years, they really look down on the neighbors around them from the bottom of their hearts. Not to mention the public opinion, they themselves can't get over this hurdle. So they decided to take the initiative!

Egypt, as the closest big country to them, became the best target.

So the little bully started to make trouble on the border.

It's difficult both internally and externally!

The people of Cairo have a hard life, and they are bullied by outsiders... Can people calm down?

So it's really not too easy to provoke conflicts!
