He found himself in a strange and enviable position, where he is required to submit to commit a heinous act for an alleged purpose.

And has been in his mind many of the rumors that focused on the reasons for the implementation of this matter.

He tried to execute but his soul did not obey him, so he decided to flee and report what he intended to do, and the full details of the massacre that will take place. But none believed him, rather he was ridiculed for what he said and he was put in prison. Until the news of the operation was repeated, then he was deported to the State Security headquarters to know the dimensions of the case.

Ahmed al-Regal, an Egyptian doctor, born in 1953 in the province of Beheira, and one of the participants in the terrorist incident known as the "Military Art" incident, which occurred 44 years ago, on April 18, 1974.

When members of an organization called "Military Art" under the leadership of Salih Sariya tried to storm the building of the Faculty of Military Art in Egypt to seize arms to be used to carry out an attempted coup against the rule of the late President Anwar Sadat. Believing that they are on track to achieve their dream of establishing the so-called "Caliphate State".

After many years of the massacre, which killed 13 people, the "El-Regal" came out of his silence and testified after he was over 60. To describe accurately the moment of his committing the massacre, in his book «Caliphate call: A new testimony to the events of military art», edited by Dr. Kamal Habib, an academic specialist in Islamic movements, who witnessed this period from his previous position as a member of The so-called «Jihad organization».

  «Caliphate Call» an invitation to meet the call:

 "Men" used the term "Caliphate Call" to be the title of what he experienced in an organization living on the dream of restoring the Caliphate, when he was a student at the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Alexandria.

Therefore, Habib presented some indicators that help to use the term "Call" to understand the motives of young people who offer their lives without a price for deceitful illusions. Such as: The Call: in fact is a psychological act of a collective nature calling in the human factors of courage regain what he lost, and then raise his concern and push him to move without a plan, without questioning the future and without searching for the hows, but it pushes the soul to its fate even if it is going to die".

"These young people rushed behind the call to cheer themselves and their passion and their innocent souls. As a shadow inherent to the image of the human when he moves, but we are in front of a spiritual shadow addresses the spirit and flirting ideas and exhorting them to rise to restore the Caliphate,» the editor of the book added.

In the book introduction, Habib explains: "The author lived with his calls, which his friends adorned him." He pointed out that "Islamic calls" are the ones that decorate the way for them in their beginning, and then when they take steps forward they remain dominant.

 The dream of establishing the Caliphate:

 Al-Regal had a vision that the dream of Caliphate would return through this organization, without knowing that these organizations are only a trap to enter into an unbalanced confrontation with the state as a result of committing acts of heinous impact.

So he said in his book: "I felt that the dawn of the Islamic caliphate was imminent, which made me do more intensive physical exercises neglecting my medical study, prepared psychologically and physically for the day that overlooks the dawn that we have long waited for»

Psychological Impact:

The main idea of ​​the book "The  Caliphate Call: A New Testimony on Military Art Events" revolves around key aspects of psychological influence, including how al-Regal join the "military art" organization.

Where he explained that after he had addressed a speech in the mosque of the university hospital, on the need to resort to the «law of God», and then explain the meaning of «Jihad», three members of the organization offered him to join an existing organization aims to establish an Islamic state by force.

Al-Regal said that when he saw the  drawings of the People's Assembly from inside, he felt that the dream of taking power and establishing the Caliphate was imminent.

  Then al-Regal was shocked when he found himself demanded to implement the first phase of the operation. Which is based on the slaughter of a guard of the college gates, to break into the college and steal weapons to be used in the implementation of a military coup resulting in the declaration of Caliphate.

When al-Regal found himself in front of the slaughter, he decided to retreat and he informed the authorities hours before the incident. But it was delayed until the massacre took place, the plan failed and the case ended with the execution of three defendants, including the leader of the organization, Salih Sariya.

It is noteworthy that the late leader Talal al-Ansari, one of the most important members of the military art organization, was the first to come out of his silence, but the difference is that al-Ansari spoke in his book about organization historically, while al-Regal talked about and himself and his feelings.

So he decided to release his appeal, hoping that it would be a warning to prevent the young people from falling into the violent vortex. Those who are pushing for Daesh and similar organisations, hoping that it may waking them up from their illusions.
