Since the Saints Church in Alexandria was bombed in 2011, Many churches have been attacked and burned in Egypt, and more is coming. This is frequently happened here for various reasons, such as: Searching for a claimed kidnapped Muslim girl (Church of Empapa and St. George Church in Wasti, Beni Suef) and hoping to release them from church custody!

Few days ago, we saw a video of a Syrian rebel cutting out and eating the heart of a dead government soldier in a horrific new propaganda stunt while shouting with his colleagues: “Allah Akbar”. Same slogan we hear while watching Syrian cities bombing as well as killing women and children in cold blood.

I’m not talking here about snakes, but about people who simulate them in thinking and harm. Sheikh Hazem Abu Ismail is one of the Snakes strains that came to Egypt with the Arab invaders. Such strain lives originally in the Arabian Peninsula and settled later in Egypt.

"People worship the weakness in Jesus Christ; however, they did not realize He was strong in every sense of power. Jesus was neither coward nor complainer, but so strong and even a rebel in many situations” said poet Gobran K. Gobran. Superficial understanding of sayings of Jesus Christ makes people think he encourages submission and servility, which is entirely untrue.

Minister of Defence General Abdel-Fattah Al-Sisi addressed six messages to various parties on Saturday while attending artillery training manoeuvres in the area classified militarily as the Central Zone.

In a recent movement called “Rebel” we have began to see fears in the Muslim Brotherhood. Has anyone ever understood how much the Muslim Brotherhood is a small, fragile group? I completely admire this movement because in just a few days it achieved what all the oppositions couldn’t since a long time ago.

I’ve always thinking about how to get the Copts united, and I was encouraged to write this article after many articles in Copts United have tackled the topic. I believe that one of the biggest difficulties facing the Coptic cause is that the Copts themselves are scattered ideologically, intellectually and economically.

The revolution of January 25th came to achieve several goals including social justice. However, more than two years passed since the revolution and one year since president Morsy took office, none of these goals was achieved. On the contrary, things only are getting worse. Many factories and companies are closing, thanks to the policies of the Muslim Brotherhood, applied literally by Dr. Morsy, as well as the bloody fatwas of fanatics calling arts and antiquities “haram stuff”. Moreover, they proudly call the liberals and Christians as infidels. I’d like to concentrate in this article on social justice as unrealized goal of the Egyptian revolution.

It was pretty much a dramatic scene, when about 10 friends gathered at Cairo Airport to bid farewell for their old friend who has decided to emigrate out of Egypt. My friends and I had tried to change the mind of this successful businessman, but he rather insisted on emigration decision.

On Thursday May 9th, 2013, the delegation of the Coptic Orthodox Church left Cairo heading to the Vatican. The delegation, headed by His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, went to offer love and respect to the head of the Vatican, knowing they have the same beliefs stated in the Nicene Creed.

Some time ago I did write about the weapon's market the legal international trade of weapons, which is well known and legislated and monitored however today I write about the illegal market out there the so called and well known as BLACK MARKET but before let me borrow this statement from :-

Morsi hasn’t established a good atmosphere for any national dialogue. On the contrary, he divided all communities, all people, and all nations towards his policies. Even the Salafis turned against him. Why? Because Morsi is a Dictator. We now see what a real dictatorship is.

When he was cleansing the temple of God, Jesus Christ said: My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a ‘den of thieves'. He was very angry and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves, saying: My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a ‘den of thieves'. However, Coptic Christians do the same nowadays when they make a playground for politicians out of their church.

As I started working as a researcher in Amazigh affairs, I mentioned different stories from many people in Egypt know about the Arab invasion to Egypt. Many people were shocked as I described it as violent invasion rather than peaceful Islamic conquest, even if it was hiding behind noble reasons and slogans.

It was unexpected scene in St. Mark's Great Cathedral when the Pope was, following protocol, thanking the officials for congratulating the Copts on Easter. He started with the Egyptian President and the Prime Minister who belong to the fanatics that announced it's prohibited to congratulate the Copts on their feasts. The people have not clapped at all, which is considered a sign of disrespect and disapproval.

As the queen of the world, America had a sanctified goddess that offered her protection and glory. This goddess was named: "Democracy, freedom and justice". However, being disbeliever in that goddess anymore, she lost its lovers, supporters, glory, and rather gained more and more enemies.

Jesus is risen indeed he is risen...this is the English version of Christos Anesty which in fact language-wise is Anesthy not Anesty because as we see in the Greek writing we say ανεσθή not ανεστή and the phonetics of the letter θ=th not just t! Well this is not a language article nor Grammar session it's just a passing by thought as I wanted to wish all of EGYPT Happy Easter!

First I want to say Happy Easter to all the Christians around the world. Today is Easter and this feast is gives us hope. Hope of a new life and hope of new chances. We need this feeling, especially since these days where everything around us is depressing and disappointing.

Being sectarian in Egypt doesn't contradict with being national and patriot. However, some people try to link patriotism to the acceptance of being humiliated as second degree citizen. Such talk is apparently applied to the Coptic Christians who are expected to beg for their rights and praise the Islamists if they give them some of it.

Muslims of al-Wasty have been hostile to the Copts since Rana H. Kamal, a Muslim girl, has disappeared two months ago. Indeed I sympathize with her family as well as any family that loses a child, however, in this case, there were tons of rumors, claims and accusations that were taken for granted by many people as facts including church implication in her disappearance.

I know that many people all over the world are interested in the Egyptian history and antiquities. However, most of them don’t even know that Christians represent 10 - 15% of the Egyptian population. Therefore, they don’t know to what extent the Copts are being prosecuted in their home country, where they are pretty much ranked as second degree citizens and are discriminated against through writing the religion in the identification card.
