“When Che Guevara was captured in his hideout after being reported by a shepherd ‼️ one asked the shepherd why he reported a man who spent his life defending you and your rights. The shepherd replied: His wars with the enemy scared my sheep ‼️
After Muhammad Karim’s resistance in Egypt against the French campaign led by Napoleon, Muhammad Karim was captured and sentenced to death. However, Napoleon sent for him and said: I am sorry to execute a man who defended his country with your courage, and I do not want history to remember me for executing heroes who defend their homelands. Therefore, I pardon you in exchange for ten thousand pieces of gold as compensation for those you killed from my soldiers. Muhammad Karim replied: I do not have enough money, but I have a debt with merchants for more than one hundred thousand pieces of gold. Napoleon said: I will allow you time to collect your money. Karim went to the market while chained in shackles and surrounded by the soldiers of the French occupier, and he had hope in those who sacrificed for them from his homeland’s sons... However, not a single merchant responded, but they accused him of being the reason for the destruction of Alexandria and the deterioration of economic conditions. He returned to Napoleon, surprised and disappointed. Napoleon said: I have no choice but to execute you… not because you resisted us and killed our soldiers, but because you risked your life for cowardly people who care more about their trade than the freedom of their homelands.”
