Since the January Uprising (more than 18 months) Egypt has been waiting for its new president. During 18 days, this uprising has united the Egyptian people to demand a civil state where there is freedom as well as human dignity.
After Mubarak was overthrown, Egyptians had the first democratic experience during the referendum of March 19 on the constitutional declaration. Unfortunately, we found religious and sectarian propaganda to the extent that we heard fatwas that he who vote for YES in the referendum is a believer and he who votes for No is an infidel!
They turned the democratic festival into a religious battle. The same happened in the parliamentary elections when the Egyptian bloc was called “the crusader bloc”!
Of course the same happened again in the presidential elections, and supporters of Shafik were called infidels while supporters of Mursy are believers and some sheiks has called Mursy the candidate of the heavens. Finally the heavens wins represented by Mursy!
Since Mursy has won the presidential elections I ask myself: Will religion under Mursy rule remain for God and Egypt for all Egyptians? I keep asking this question after few observations...
My mother went with her friends to attend the funeral of a friend, then, they tried to stop a cap, but they found a bearded man spitting on them saying: haven't you covered your heads yet? all of you will do it very soon!
After Mursy had won, many demonstrations in the streets of Minya was shouting: “Egypt is Islamic, not Coptic or crusader!”. Furthermore, My friend's sister in the street was insulted by a girl wearing niqaab who said: “We have won you infidel Cops, and Egypt is ours”!
Such stories made me fear for the future of my country! Will people call me infidel and insult me in the streets. I know that my problem and the Coptic problems aren't with the new president, but rather with a punch of fanatic and ignorant people who think that the victory of Mursy makes Egypt an Islamic religious state with no other religions!
Finally, I want to say that there are a lot of wise and respectful Muslims who express the real Islam as I think. I consider them my family, but... Will they remain the same, or we will find a fatwa soon that prevent Muslims from dealing with the infidels Christians, including me!
