Tales in the diaspora between pride and shame!

Tales in the diaspora between pride and shame!

I would also like in this article to talk in detail about the great success recorded at the first Arab Business Festival, which painted a beautiful Arab-Canadian artistic mosaic that scattered much love and the finest meanings of giving, whether through overcoming obstacles that were systematically and cheaply placed before this festival to sabotage it or through drawing joy on the faces of children who, along with their families, enjoyed everything provided to them that day, including games, face painting, and much more, all free of charge in a precedent with great professional, marketing, and humanitarian dimensions.

I must also extend my sincere thanks and appreciation to all who participated in this festival, whether at the official or popular level, whose presence and participation added many meaningful values and interest in such a festival.

I must also point out the great happiness enjoyed by those who won the prizes we promised at this festival and which were delivered to them directly without any delay, where the joy was very clear on their faces. Interestingly, each of the prize winners has a story confirming their need for the prize they deserved, which undoubtedly pleased us despite the pain that still fills our hearts.

In this article, despite my great joy with this success and my pride in having recorded a unique and qualitative model in the diaspora in this field to become an inspiring work for others to benefit from, elevate their work, and be convinced by what they achieve to build the blocks of success one after another instead of wasting time in rivalry, competition, disruption, and confusion.

However, there must be the annoyances practiced by some—those poor in thought and low in behavior—which undoubtedly cast shadows over everyone's joy. There were some malicious intruders who represented an ugly face of those seeking to sabotage the efforts exerted by the diligent with living consciences to make this target group successful through such a festival.

This brings me to the core topic of this article, which is how evil people come together, representing a true face of shame and disgrace when they practice all kinds of depravity, fraud, and deception, even going so far as to think they can engage in acts that threaten the security of individuals and society and perhaps the security of the country.

How not, when these villains have become young people who live in the swamps of crime, and by the way, deception in pursuit of illicit wealth even through illegal means and suspicious connections.

How not, when we hear and see some stories of people practicing behavioral filth in broad daylight, believing that the savage aggression they exercise without being deterred or stopped is a legitimate matter.

How not, when we hear some stories of intimidation and threats even with licensed weapons from some who are morally and intellectually degraded to make some people followers of them as if they exercise authority above authority!

How not, when we hear about stories of bank fraud, credit card theft, and fraud to obtain illegitimate money.

How not, when we hear stories of staging work injuries or deliberately setting fires in houses and commercial stores to cheat insurance companies and gain millions of dollars unjustly to build luxury homes, where some rogue individuals have become bold enough to turn these places into headquarters for practicing all that is illegal!

How not, when we hear about such vicious groups’ connections with unknown gangs to threaten the safety of individuals and society without any deterrent.

How not, when we see ugly, dirty, and cheap practices from these people entering large shops and exploiting loopholes in buying and selling processes to steal goods or multiply their purchases without paying the due price!

How not, when we witness all components of crimes practiced by such people clearly as the sun, but conscience is absent, and people's fear to report such violations makes it a reality without deterrence.

How not, and even some concerned authorities may fear confronting that under flimsy excuses or under the pretext of preserving individual safety, while we hear stories of forging official documents by fugitives who boast about that among their communities, whether they are sincere or practicing pathological behaviors and trading in them as if they talk about achievements to be proud of, while they do not realize that they are talking about a shameful disgrace as part of this society.

How not, when there are individuals subject to deportation orders but intensify working against the law in deceptive ways and involving weak-willed individuals and remain free without execution of the deportation order despite the seriousness of their filthy actions... confusion that needs answers and explanation!

On the other hand, the glaring truth clearly says that we have Arab models in the diaspora who are a source of pride and honor. Their work speaks for itself without the need to search, and these are the same who work in real fields to record successive successes representing an authentic title of an identity worthy of respect, appreciation, and rallying around.

But unfortunately, the aforementioned shameful models need a comprehensive stance, a conscience awakening, a large societal positivity, and dropping the idea of fear from this beseeching behavior that pushes these individuals to continue and intensify walking the path of crime to participate in preserving the safety of individuals and society.

Therefore, there must be liberation from the shackles of the wrong understanding of identity and giving it what it deserves and courageously reporting these criminal models immediately and without hesitation to the competent authorities to protect the individual, society, and state from the madness and danger of these people even if it is by implementing their deportation orders outside the country immediately and without delay to serve as a lesson for those who do not learn and to make them know that the security of individuals, society, and the state in this great country are red lines that cannot be tampered with under the names of freedom or legal loopholes.

Therefore, I urgently call on all security agencies to be fully alert towards these villains who have exaggerated in their filthy and suspicious behaviors, to surround them informationally and investigate how they inflate their wealth and ask “Where did you get this?”, and other measures allowed by law and work to strike them with an iron hand so they do not become sleeper cells that might indulge in terrorism at these sensitive times if they continue successfully practicing masked crimes without punishment!

I also call on every free and zealous person in this country to be honest with themselves and with the country that granted them safety, and to immediately report to the competent authorities and security agencies without hesitation upon availability of any information indicating any such legal violations, especially about those who boast of owning licensed weapons or perhaps others to intimidate others or suspicious movements like weapons training or similar activities for any party, even if they sell the illusion that they do so to serve a cause or creed, and that without hesitation so that we truly become good citizens’ titles and not residents of a land of war or a land of disbelief as such scums of criminals and perhaps terrorists desire!
