Silence equals betrayal

My friends do understand that I only support right and only speak the truth. I have always supported this principle that I paid huge price for my situation and lived away from my homeland as if expatriate. This important introduction aims to remind you that the writer has not flattered the regime and never gave up the blood of the martyrs. However, I write this article after I saw the slaughter of my brothers in Libya as well as the great reaction taken by the Egyptian government.

I have to say that I do support my country and its armed forces against terrorism. Moreover, I ask all Coptic activists not to hold any activities to express their anger. Egypt currently is in bad need to our unity and our support.
 
I hope all Coptic activists won’t demonstrate to express their anger against what happened to 21 Copts in Libya, since such demonstrations are likely to be misused by enemies of Egypt. 
 
I hope that Coptic activists will do this with great sense of nationality. I have participated with them in many demonstrations to claim our Coptic rights, but this is indeed a time for unity for the sake of Egypt that is waging a fierce war against terrorism in many fields.
 
Our country do need our unity, and the rights of Coptic martyrs are only gain when we take revenge from the killers. Our country needs your jealousy and unity in order to survive the current critical moment.
