Lion of the Desert

Lion of the Desert Reflection Rebellion spearhead as well as a teacher, Omar Mukhtar was a clear leader. During the brief pacification talk in Lion of the Desert, the first demand Mukhtar wanted for his tidy sum were Muslim schools. Other requirements for peace that were requested were national protection, national parliament, and authorise of the lands taken from the people of Libya. Mukhtar was first a teacher, when registering, reflecting or teaching he wore his glasses. Mukhtar balanced them gently on his finger, when speaking to a class of preadolescent boys, illustrating importance of balance within the Koran.A young boy whose father was killed bandage fighting, clumsily puts on Omars glasses, it is consoling for the boy as Omar seeks a role model and new hope for him. After the father dies, the steerage of Omar shows the importance of a male influence in the boys sprightliness and within Islam. At the moment Muhktar picked up a gun, he transformed into the leader of the rebellion. In acts of insurgence Omar was guided by his godliness and teaching. After a small victory, the men took the flag from the caravan and presented it to Omar as a trophy.Mukhtar simply responded, They are not our teachers, he is a boy, herald your general and he returns the flag to the surviving Italian soldier and sends him back, as opposed to killing him. In contrast, on the scene of General Grazianis victory, he has sand goggles on as well as wearing a flag as a cape. He is and so presented with a flag raising ceremony to declare their dominance of the area. When ambushed by a gas attack Mukhtar loses his glasses, just as his comrades have travel dying or injured. Shortly after, Graziani constructs a massive barbed telegraph fence to block the rebels from supplies and refuge.Muhktar then says, What is wire to the will of God? maneuver his forces on principle and the teachings of the Koran. The nationalist rebellion also adheres to their religion when binder thei r legs to remain in the face of an attack. Islamist teaching includes the concept of jihad or self-sacrifice for the sake of the cause. Their tied leg prevented the men from retreating or running play away. In the end, when Graziani offers to release Muhktar if he were to relinquish his rebellion and beliefs, Muhktar refuses.He lays down his life in order to protect his convictions. His glasses were returned to him by Graziani and Muhltar puts them on to read a passage from the Koran, moments before his hanging. As Omar drops from the gallow, his glasses drop from his clinched hand. They are retrieved by the young boy that had earlier put them. Illustrating the arrogance made by Muhktar to Graziani, that the rebellion against the Italians would continue and as each man is killed the younger generation will rise to gormandize their place.
