Pope Tawadros II strongly supports the decision of Pope Shenouda III to prevent the Coptic Christians from traveling to Jerusalem under Israeli occupation refusing to normalize with Israel when the Muslims are not doing the same. This decision was taken years ago by Pope Shenouda who had to pay huge price with his Coptic congregation for such decision. When former president Sadat asked the Pope to allow the Coptic Christians to visit Jerusalem, the Pope refused saying that Coptic Christians should visit Jerusalem along with the Muslims, only when the Palestinians restore their land.

One more week closer to the elections hopping for a better future, however a quick look to world’s news I do see same old story same problems same people volunteer to solve people and countries’ problems! Is it real solidarity or just political propaganda when people remain un-employed stay hungry poor while the rich becomes richer!

We heared the bad news of violence and bloodshed between tribes in Aswan that nobody is able to stop. Tribal problems exist all over the world; however, with civilization and civility, such tribal values disappears before values of belonging to the state. The state and its institutions have disappeared while weapon was in the hands of fighting people. The real problem was the disappearance of state in such critical crisis and time. Even security forces were not able to intervene and save dozens of people who were killed in a bloody massacre.

In his program on Sada El Balad private television, Egyptian journalist Mustafa Bakri revealed many secrets about the so-called revolution of January 25. He talked about his meetings with General Omar Suleiman, former vice president, and leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. He said that president Mubarak and his vice president have realized the real danger of the American scheme carried out by the Muslim Brotherhood.

An adorable little woman left her home last Friday to serve an old bedridden lady and give her the medicine as usual, knowing it was so dangerous. Yet, she decided to perform her duty and therefore she lost her life. An eyewitness said that the supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood have attacked Mary in her car as soon as they saw the hanged cross in her car. They jumped on top of her vehicle to the point that the roof collapsed.

The Turkish Prime Minister believes that his victory in the recent municipal elections in his country is but a victory for the Muslim Brotherhood of Egypt! In fact, he can do even more and feel so proud as he got even more votes than he got before the latest corruption scandals and his dictatorial decisions such as banning Youtube and Twitter.

Starting with myself for serious work I would like to apologize for being unable to participate in last week's Joices with the decision of ex-marshal Abd El Fatah El Sisi to resign his post in the army and fulfill people's call to compete for the elections of presidency! In this issue I would like to point out the huge difference between someone working for living and meet the ends of the month and someone who loves his job and dedicates his whole life for the job he always loved for over 45 years was proud the wear the Army Suit like Marshal Sisi! His Decision to quit the army answering people's call was a huge sacrifice we should never forget!

It seems as though, Sabahi, a hopeful candidate for the presidential election, is trying to repeat the same agenda and use the same tone as the ex-president Abd Al Naser. I agree that Sabahi and many other candidates should run for the presidential election so we can have a fair and democratic election, but candidates have to have new trends and new thoughts.

Why killers of the Copts are always honored? I usually ask myself this question, as those responsible for killing the Copts, either criminal responsibly or political responsibility, are always honored. I wonder: is this meant to provoke the Coptic Christians? Recently, General Mahmoud Hijazi, who had accused the Copts of being the reason behind Maspero massacre in which the army killed dozens of Coptic youth, has been promoted to the rank of Chief of Staff of the Egyptian Armed Forces.

Many Egyptian people believe they enjoy high morals, more than those who belong to the Western countries, whose inhabitants are described as degenerate by many people in the Middle East. In fact, those Middle Eastern people usually use religion to cover their deviation, just like members of the Islamic currents did in Egypt, which makes the intellectual perversion in Egypt even clearer. Those people claim virtue, and repeat sayings of great western intellectuals without even understanding what they mean by such sayings.

A Coptic Christian young lady was driving her car in Ain Shams, and passed by a demonstration of the Muslim Brotherhood. Pro Muslim-Brotherhood supporters recognized that she was a Christian by the cross on her car. These Muslim-Brotherhood supporters then specifically targeted her even though she had no involvement in the clashes between the Islamists and security forces. Moreover, she was ministering a Muslim woman whom she used to deliver medicine to her. Her cross was a good reason for them to attack and even kill her.

As much as we were happy to know that Field Marshal al-Sisi resigned as Defense Minister and decided to run for president, the Egyptian people were shocked to find American Agents and traitors among the key members of his campaign. They decided to surround him from the beginning like a bracelet in a hand or rather handcuffs.

Everyday we see blood. One time from the police, another time from the Muslim Brotherhood, and the question we should ask ourselves is: how long will continue to see blood on the streets without finding a way or solution to stop this? All political powers have attacked Dr. Hassan Nafaa the activist, when he announced an initiative attempt at a reconciliation between the Muslim Brotherhood and the rest of the society. I could understand the people's objection to this initiative, but at the same time, if you object something, you should suggest something as an alternative.

I started writing this article after receiving two phone calls from an Austrian journalist and lawyer wondering about the judgment of Egyptian court to sentence 529 Egyptians opposing the military coup to death. All they know about those terrorist sentenced to death is that they oppose the coup!

For a long time, the Copts have been demanding their rights to build new churches and their restoration. It’s true that the legislative reform in this regard has not yet been achieved, but it is clear that soon it will be. This should be part of the history as the Copts have realized that claiming their rights is misused by Islamic currents that separated the Copts from the community and treated them as guests or even slaves in their own homeland. They announced that no churches should be built or restored in an Islamic country.

It was strange coincidence that at the time the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood planned to burn Egypt, one of its most dangerous terrorist cells belonging to Ansar al- Bayt al-Maqdis was arrested. In fact, the Muslim Brotherhood and Ansar al- Bayt al-Maqdis never cared for Egypt and don’t mind destroying the homeland for their own interests.

Islamists and jihadists have recently grown more and more powerful in Egypt. One of these currents that has spread recently in Egypt is called Salafi.

I’m not an economist but I had some basic training upon my studies in economy and I’ll try to explain how things work in normal life. Gold reserve one calls national gold reserves, which stand usually in the area of responsibility of a central bank or a Treasury. The purpose of national gold reserves existed in former times mostly in the covering of currencies (gold standard). Today gold is predominantly kept as national reserve for crisis periods. The state can deny e.g. unexpected extra charges by sales of the gold, and secure itself thereby thus against disasters. In last week article I spoke of the expected bankruptcy of Egypt announced by the resigned managing director of Egypt’s central bank M. Farouk Okda who said it clearly he could not stay in position to the moment he would have to announce this bankruptcy! Really what is going on?

In the time we are close to the presidential election all political power call for fair election and that need the media to be fair with all candidates, the governmental TV should deal with all candidates without being biased to one on another. Fair election shouldn’t neglect the importance of the transparency in spending the money during the campaign, without this transparency the election process will turn to be an acting process, we have to put into our consideration that the whole world will supervise the presidential election as the main step to go forward in the road map.

Those people who talk about reconciliation with terrorist groups think they are better than the state. However, giving the two governments in Tora prison and the will of the Egyptian people to move forward, none is really above the state. Those People should realize there is no Muslim Brotherhood any more except for that terrorist group that is organizing a terrorist attack every now and then.

Three years ago, the Muslim Brotherhood and the Salafis have invited the people to vote "yes" on their fanatic constitution draft, in which they drafted an Islamic constitution not caring for the homeland and hoping to convert it to an Islamic Caliphate. 75% voted "yes", which the Islamists named the battle of ballot boxes!
