Two weeks ago, the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab stormed a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, brutally killing 67 people including children just for not being a Muslim or for being a Muslim who doesn’t know the name of Prophet Mohamed’s mother! They did such terrible crime in the name of Islam and calling to apply the Islamic Sharia.
The former Egyptian regimes have tried hard to keep politics out of our schools, and to suppress any political activity in the Egyptian universities, raising the slogan “No politics in education”. Suddenly, we had a revolution, and politics have been mixed with everything in Egypt including educational institutions. Unfortunately, such mixture wasn’t void of violence and chaos. Thus, many people are demanding the prevention of politics in schools and universities, which was refused by many people as well.
This is not my call this is a petition from a trust worthy person sent to me I decided to follow the link and dedicate today's article to explain it to whom might understand and put the dots on the i's! First let me excuse the people who in a desperate moment in life under the stress of violence just for being a Christian suffer from all kinds in injustice; at a point in time I thought I can not survive in such a climate and took my family and immigrated! I was young, inexperienced and human subject to the wrong decisions! I forgot that we are all protected not just by our guardian angles but by almighty God who will never let go of his subjects! Even those who died or their belongings were burnt stolen and scattered for sure there is a just cause for it we might not know it now or never find out but for sure there is a reason!
Muslims Brotherhood lately was trying to spoil everything in the country, Schools, Universities, Airports, and Streets. What Muslim Brotherhood aim to. I believe that it aims to nothing except chaos. Muslim Brotherhood since 30th June and until now adopts principle to be in the scene or burn everything in the country.
The world was turned upside down when the 50-members committee to amend the 2012 constitution decided to amend Article III, and replace “Christians and Jews can resort to their religious laws” by “Non-Muslims resort to their religious laws”. Here we may recognize some Egyptian citizens struggling to live free in their own country, and those have all the right to do so.
Egypt is currently experiencing a critical time during the transitional period, in which her enemies are willing to harm her by all means. Therefore, we can’t risk by having a weak governor who takes only soft decisions. Instead, the upcoming president should be resolute and pretty much tough. In fact, democracy is not so new to Egypt, as it was practiced and applied six decades ago, before the revolution of July 23 , 1952.
Political Islamists reject secularism claiming it came to fight the Christian priesthood, which Islam doesn’t have. They claim secularism was founded to fight the domination of the Church of Rome over every aspect of life. Thus, they claim there should be no contradiction or separation between religion and politics.
Nine years ago, on September 23, the late Eng. Adly Abadier had invited the Coptic activists all over the world to participate in a Coptic conference in Europe that was entitled: "Copts under Siege", which aimed to unify the Coptic work and effort to claim their rights and equal citizenship with the majority of Muslims in Egypt.
You were born in a Christian, Jewish, Muslim or even a Hindu family within Indians and were taught Indian traditions and religion so you believe in the Hindu religion! Can I or you or the best religious clerics and priests convince you to change your religion?
Finally after 2 months of the June 30th Revolution, Obama has announced that Morsy was governing Egypt in the wrong way. After just 2 months passed by, Obama gave up in return of the Egyptians' will, although all the pressures were practiced by America and their allies. Obama would never reach this conclusion without being sure with his administration that there was no way to keep supporting terrorism in Egypt.
For more than eighty years, the successive regimes in Egypt couldn’t eliminate the idea of political Islam that Hassan al-Banna came up with. He claimed this idea is serving Islam, but in fact, it was to achieve the political goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, which appeared clearly when his sons came in power.
I have a proposal for all who love Egypt, especially the Copts. As the state is taking forever to repair and rebuild the demolished and burned churches and properties of the Copts, why don’t we donate for their restoration?
What is happening to the Copts in Egypt, especially in Upper Egypt has reached its peak. I am talking here about burning their historical churches (86 churches and 11 monastery) and killing many Copts after looting and destroying their properties and forcing them to sell it for much less price and to abandon their homes fearing for their lives.
Burning churches and imposing loyalties against the Coptic Christians in Delga village in Upper Egypt by the fanatics is really worrisome. The village is currently controlled by the Islamists who threaten the Copts by killing and kidnapping their families if they don’t pay certain amounts of money. Consequently, the Copts prefer to pray inside their homes instead of churches. Additionally, the Islamists threatened to sexually abuse the Coptic women!
Few days back the government officials -without specific names- announced their inability to apply the maximum income law that was a proposal to help the government to find funds to help poor people that according to the minimum standards should not have less than x amount of monthly income for a minimum dignity!
Can you imagine that while you are talking to your friend he is recording the conversation that happened between you two? Not only that but furthermore, he sends the conversation to the newspaper and the newspaper publishes it for the public to see?
On the eleventh of September 2001, the United States received a massive slap to her dignity and national security. It was a barbaric fierce attack against her civilization and power centers in New York, killing about 3 thousand innocent American citizen.
Sound religion has its positive effect on the individuals and the community as well. However, being deviated can cause many problems for both. Christianity define sound religion as: "To look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world". In the middle ages, the Catholic Church deviated and worked in politics rather than religion causing many disasters.
It became so clear that the American President, Barack Obama, made up his decision to fight Syria. This appeared after the revolution of June 30 in Egypt through may statements by the American Administration. Many times did Obama assured that such war comes to preserve the American interests and prestige in the region.
Imposing emergency law firmly in Egypt comes to protect us from terrorism of the Muslim Brotherhood and other Islamic currents and Jihadists. During the war against terrorism, the state has to impose some restrictions for freedom of movement as well as freedom of peaceful assembly that are currently used to murder innocent people and attack public and private properties.
Can we build a new Egypt with the same mentalities that took Egypt to the deep deep hole we are in it now? Can we build over a country that old mentalities demolished? This question needs to be looked at deeply with great consideration without the fears of being accused of any crime or being part of a conspiracy we need to look forward and really forget the past wounds just learn from the mistakes and correct what needs to be corrected!
