Bicycles should be for everyone and not only for males. This was the slogan announced by Margaret Najeh, a student in the second year of the Faculty of Arts in Minya. The campaign started by a questionnaire on the social networking sites, in which she asked girls if they want to ride bicycles, which totally contradicts with rules of Upper Egypt. Soon, the idea spread and girls started to go on a weekly ride. Greetings to Margaret and to all girls who had courage to support the idea and their families who stood next to their daughters in practicing a respectable and useful sport, and perhaps it will become a safe means of transportation for them and for the people of Egypt, especially as the state is supporting the ride of bicycles as an initiative for everyone supported by the President and the Ministry of Sports.

Imagine someone insulting everyone and in everytime and the law freezes toward punishing him and no one can bring him to justice. Unfortunately, that behaviour from that person gives the wrong impression about Egypt and the law in Egypt. Recently, he insulted the previous coach who decided to leave the club and signed a contract with a Saudi club and also insulted many people who work in the sports media. Previously he insulted the chief of Al-ahly club and previous player in this club and although that Captain Al-Khateeb went and complained against him in the court, however, there is no action has been taken against this person. Mortada Mansour represents absence of law in Egypt and clear Example that the political regime is corrupted and can go and ask the poor people to pay a fine for building without a license but cant stand against Mortada Mansour and bring him to the court. In conclusion, the law is absent in Egypt and the president and the government only apply it on the poor people.

Liberal education tries to pretend to be exporting a free person without control or limit. Such freedom extends to discussing important issues inside the Church such as : Interpretation of the Bible and the issue of the concept of divine revelation or the issue of ordaining women a priest or the writings of the Old Testament. The definitions of liberal education may be broad, generalized, and sometimes contradictory, with the knowledge that liberal education was restricted during the barbarism of the early Middle Ages until it rose to a prominent position again in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, as the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries witnessed a revolution against narrow spirituality and teachers began to focus on man, not God. This humane approach decided to focus on reason, nature and aesthetics, and from here this education began to spread educational poisons on the simple people by some religious leaders who try to change what is already set by the church two thousand years ago like the concept of salvation, Christ atonement, and didn t hesitate to attack the Holy Bible! We find honest people judged for their honesty by others who receive money to spread deviation. I believe that the Church of God will stand against all trials, and will stay blessed for ever.

Along the Corniche of Alexandria, they gather every Friday in the early morning and run. Some on their feet, others on their wheelchair or even bicycle. This is Wheelie Runners, an initiative launched by a group of young people, most of them people with disabilities. They aim to devote the concept of practicing sports, specifically to children. Thus, with the activities returning gradually, they decided to hold a weekly marathon to encourage other people to practice sports, especially for children and people with disabilities. Greetings to everyone who participates and supports the idea and make it possible to make new friends and regain self confidence.

The press thrives more with freedom, and innovates in a politically and intellectually healthy society. The press should be free, and has to work against all falsehood and deception. Therefore, the journalist is controlled by his conscience, his vision and his ideas, and laws can t prevent deception. A journalist is able to accuse people without insulting them. Law can t prevent him from doing this, but his concience should. Thus, we need to reply to any accusations and deny them using words and not law. It should also be noticed that attacking a book usually increase its selling rates and this is exactly what happened with the jorrnalist Sara Allam whom a bishop had filed law suit against. I believe that press should be free though I disagree with Sara Allam. We need to defend freedom of speech and journalism because we really need free journalism.

Satan is working hard to divide the Church. He doesn t always appear in his ugly form, but sometimes in good and encouraging image, by people who seek position and personal benefits using forms of hypocrisy. I say this with all bitterness that some people may disagree with me, but I couldn t hold my peace longer. Concerning the current crisis between His Holiness Pope Tawadros II and Bishop Agathon whom I totally respect and honor. for them. The Church is divided in two teams and some people are trading on the crisis to gain support of the church in the upcoming parliamentary elections. It is clear that the journalist has violated professional rules and insulted the church and its leaders, but she will be acquitted after Pope Tawadros said the lawsuit filed by Bishop Aghathon doesn t represent the church and the leadership was not asked for permission to file the lawsuit. I pray that God give our spiritual leaders all wisdom and declare my suppression and respect to them and hoping they can overcome the crisis and unite the church.

Sisis policies will lead to a big disaster in the near future for Egyptian and for himself. Sisi recently wants to push all Egyptians to pay the price for previous corrupt governments. Sis wants poor Egyptians who suffer from inflation and poor services to pay more money for the government when they barely can afford their living.

As we get ready for a new Parliament in Egypt, we remember some bad examples of members of the Parliament whom are accused of several crimes, but are left in peace. I know that not all accusations are true, but I am talking here about investigations that should be made to prove or refute the accusations. I call the regime to get rid of such bad examples and hold them accountable or prove they are not guilty in order to face corruption by all means. I don t want to hear in the new Parliament about a member who is involved in antiquities smuggling or another who claim defending the poor while wearing very expensive clothes and rides one of the most expensive cars among his colleagues in the Parliament.

It was a heinous crime committed by people who are more like animals who have no dignity or conscious. A group of mobs stripped an old woman from Upper Egypt nude in the streets without any of them seeking to help the helpless woman or cover her before the mobs. I was also surprised for the silence of women’s institutions and their representatives in the Parliament who worry about their positions under the dome more than such trivial incidents! Some mobs in other village decided to get rid of the dead body of a Coptic Christian child who was buried in the graveyard of the Muslims claiming there is no place for Christians in their graveyard. They think that God consider their stupidity and ignorance. I see this crime also too mean for humans, and defames the homeland just like it hurts the victims. I declare here that such ignorant people defames reputation of the homeland and offend it before the world more than poverty and lack of services.

As we monitor the precautionary measures of Corona on tourism secotr, and learn more of Egypt s achievements in the field of tourism. Dr. Khaled Al-Anani, Minister of Tourism and Antiquities, held a meeting yesterday with the director and officials of Easy Jet flying company to discuss strengthening means of cooperation with it, and pushing the tourist movement to Egypt during the coming period. Al-Anani reviewed the precautionary measures and health safety controls taken by Egypt to resume the incoming tourist movement to South Sinai and the Red Sea as a first stage, explaining that the measures did not affect the tourists enjoyment of their vacation on the picturesque beaches of Egypt. Egypt s commitment to implementing the precautionary measures encouraged tourists around the world to visit Egypt after the resumption of movement, which increased the number of tourists in Sharm el-Sheikh and Hurghada, escpially from Ukraine, Belarus, Switzerland, Hungary and Serbia. The Easy Jet company officials congratulated the minister for Egypt obtaining a Safe Travel seal from the World Tourism and Travel Council (WTTC), which confirms the confidence in the Egyptian tourism. Greetings to everyone who came to Egypt as a visitor and to everyone who served guests of Egypt during their trip..

It was very strange to hear this news, but it is very true! The American Congress has reduced the American aid submitted to Ethiopia, for its decision to unilateral filling of the Renaissance Dam reservoir, before signing the binding agreements to fill the reservoir. A bold American decision that should have been taken by the Arab countries, especially Saudi Arabia and the Gulf countries, which Egypt stands by, and takes hostile situation to Iran and Turkey for their sake. This is a brave American decision that raised many questions in my head: Is America a friend or enemy? Is it the land of freedoms and democracy, or is it the Great Satan? Is it justice, freedom and equality, or is it the hostile and and violence of Iraq war and injustice and domination? Does Amercia represents Christianity tolerance, forgiveness and charity, or the supporter of the Crusades, Zionism, Freemasonry and its ambitions in the East! Is it simply good or evil? Questions revolve in my head looking for an answer to hear!

In its recent report, Moody’s affirmation of Egypt’s rating at B2 with a stable outlook came to reflect the government s economic reforms and financial measures over the past years. Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouli said that the trust of Moody s Corporation in the performance of the Egyptian economy reflects the efficiency of the measures adopted by the government to promote growth rates and overcome challenges posed by the global COVID-19 crisis. Moody s Investors Service said that Egypt s (B2 stable) credit profile reflects its sizable and diversified economy, large domestic funding base, and projected foreign exchange reserves that are enough to cover maturing external liabilities over the next three years. We wish the best for our country and for those who do their best we say: keep up the good work! .

One day the disciples of Jesus Christ imagined they solely possess the keys to heaven, and told their Master that they saw someone driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us . “Do not stop him,” Jesus said, “for whoever is not against you is for you. (Luke 9: 49,50). The same concept is repeated today as some servants forget that the heavenly city of Jerusalem will dwell in its neighborhoods of all nations, of all tribes and of all peoples. Saint John Chrysostom was found guilty and he died in exile, but the departure of Pope Theophilus, Pope Kyrollos, the pillar of religion, lifted the excommunication and canceled the ruling that the previous Pope had ruled on Saint John Chrysostom and placed his name in the Council of the Saints. I remembered these historical events along with what the Coptic Church had recently done with Dr. George Habib Bebawy , the Coptic theologian, who was tried in a local council in 2007 without his presence or hearing his defense. Bebawy has published several books, articles, and lectures in which he refuted all the accusations leveled against him and has repeatedly called for a public trial in which all his ideas are discussed. His Holiness Pope Tawadros II assigned the file of Dr. Babaoui to HG Bishop Raphael, the former secretary of the Holy Synod, and they communicated and Bishop Raphael demanded Dr. George to correct the image of the church in front of people since he had insulted the church and its leaders. During these correspondences, Dr. George s health deteriorated and therefore, Pope Tawadros followed the rules of the church that permits taking communion even for those who have ecclesiastical punishment when they are approaching death. Thus, Pope Tawadros asked Anba Seraphim, Bishop of Indiana and Michigan, to take the confession of Dr. Bebawi and to allow him to take communion. It was a great humanitarian decision of Pope Tawadros who can be called the golden-hearted.

We are accustomed to hear some Salafi preachers attacking Christians or contempt of Christianity, as well as claiming that the Holy Bible is distorted. But we are not accustomed to hear a public figure and a man of law like President of Lawyer Bar Association using some verses of the Holy Bible to provoke and attack Coptic Christians in a published article. Of course, I am not against freedom of thought and belief, but this has different frameworks and contexts and is likely to be used as a method of seeking cheap fame or even to gain the support of the extremists in an elections. I don’t know why the feelings of Christian Egyptian citizens are underestimated like that. The Lawyer Bar Association writes an article questioning the Holy Bible and publishes it in newspaper, without any sense of what this article bears in terms of attacking believes and feelings of Christians. What will happen if a Christian man writes a similar article to question the facts in the Holy Quraan. I am sure he will apologize for what he did, and I believe that Holy Books are much more powerful than such weak words, but I also believe that leaders and senior officials in a country like Egypt should be more wise and careful.

The British Company EasyJet, one of the most important airlines in the world and Europe, has been certified to operate chartered flights to the Egyptian cities Sharm El Sheikh in South Sinai, and Hurghada in the Red Sea. The company is scheduled to operate two flights per week to Sharm El Sheikh Airport, the Manchester / Sharm El Sheikh route, next September, and one flight per week from Gatwick Airport to Sharm El Sheikh, while Hurghada Airport will receive 4 flights per week from London Gatwick Airport, starting from September 2, and two flights per week from Manchester. This indeed proves the positive role of the Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities, and how the precautionary measures have affected tourism during the past two months as a great achievement made by the Egyptian government.

I want to congratulate Bahrain and Emirate for singing a peace agreement with Israel. Finally, Arab countries started to be smart and to know that Israel is not their enemy but Iran and Hezbaollah are the real enemy. Bahrain and Emirate recognized that who caused the chaos in the region is Iran, Hamas and Hezbaollah not Israel. They recognized that the best way to protect themselves from this enemy is to sign a peace agreement with the enemy of Iran which is Israel.

Emirates announced lately signing a peace agreement with Israel which considered a precedent agreement between an arab country and Israel. For a long time Arab countries refused to have a relationship with Israel because of the palestine issue. The question here is what has changed as long as Israel still occupying the palateninan territories? The answer is very simple, Iran is the key word or you can say that Iran is the main reason pushed Emirates to do such an agreement with Israel.

The Ministry of Tourism and Antiquities announced that the propaganda film A Tourist s Journey in Egypt, launched by the ministry last Juneas part of the "Same Great Feelings" international promotional campaign has achieved positive results on various social media platforms, in conjunction with the resumption of inbound tourism to Egypt. The campaign sought to communicate and interact with the public in the main countries exporting tourism to Egypt, informing them of the precautionary measures and health safety controls in place, highlighting the diversity and distinction of the Egyptian tourism product and destination, and that the precautionary measures did not affect the tourists enjoyment of their holidays in the picturesque Egypt Tariq Hosni, advisor to the minister of tourism for strategic studies and marketing, explained that the film achieved a very high viewership as the film achieved 77 million views on Google, 80 million views on Facebook, and 4 million views on Twitter, in addition to 3.6 million views on TikTok, and about a million views on Snapchat, which contributed to significantly improving the image of Egypt and to promote its tourism.

A poem called When do they announce the death of Arabs was written by the famous Lebanese poet Nizar Qabbani, in which he honestly expresses the miserable situation reached by the Arabs at that time. The poet was very honest and his words were quoted by many people who believed in him. Nizar Qabbani attacked the June setback and President Gamal Abdel Nasser, and therefore, the Egyptian government prevented his songs from circulating on radio and television, though the great Egyptian singers used to sing for him, including Umm Kulthum, Abdel Wahab, Abdel Halim and others. But the decision was canceled later.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan issued a decision decision to convert the sixth-century Chora Museum into a mosque after 75 years of turning it into a museum. By this provocative decision, Erdogan threatens international peace and coexistence of civilizations. Such decision comes one month after the conversion of the Hagia Sophia museum, which was originally a church, into a mosque. The Chora Church was built in sixth-century Byzantine Empire. In the 16th century, during the Ottoman era, the church was converted into a mosque; it became a museum in 1945, and in 2020 it is being reconverted to a mosque.
