@MizaniSufism I wonder whether bold people do make history, or whether they simply fill a role that needed to be filled at that time?

@caitlinrgreen To fill a role that needed to be filled at that time = To catch the chance, and this needs boldness in most of the cases. -
@MizaniSufism Oh, indeed--but in that case, the person isn't actively making history, but rather simply writing their name into the story..! -
@caitlinrgreen Sorry I cannot agree you, catching the chance includes reading the situation & using it, like sailor reads the wind & uses it -
@caitlinrgreen If I want to criticize shihab-al-din-aḥmed-al-hajari I will need to write an article & I cannot do that in my situation here -

@caitlinrgreen UK & the west refused to give me asylum in 2010 before Egyptian Revolution of 2011 & now I'm in hands of a bloody dictator. -

@caitlinrgreen Yes, it is not your business, but it was a chance for me expose the hypocrisy of The West.https://twitter.com/MizaniSufism/status/615918973335531520 … -
@MizaniSufism The world is a difficult place at the minute, I fear; sorry to hear about your troubles :( -
