However many people think that June 30 will bring the end of the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, I don't think so. I believe it may only be the beginning.
The case of Coptic Christian teacher Demiana Obeid Abdel Nour is a sample of what the Copts face in Egypt. It's repeated charges against peaceful people who're mostly proven innocent at the end. Demiana was accused and convicted however there was no proof that she has already done something wrong.
Resuming my last week post I would say one week down two more left, however having nothing more to say in this subject more then what I already said I wish to point out the strong message sent out upon the lousy Muslim Brotherhood attack on the people who stood up for the Culture of Egypt being assassinated by the new Culture minister new MB Culture minister who see the Ballet Dancing inappropriate and must be banned! -an everlasting classic dance we all grow up admiring the classics of this dances on the Royal Opera and our Opera best shows- a minister of Culture all his cultural wealth is 2 books and an article! This minister dared to sit of the chair Taha Husein, El Akad, Yousef El Sibaee, Abaza and many more writing giants occupied!
Being one of the Egyptians that likes to take the Metro most days, I find that every day the people in the Metro talk about nothing except Morsi and if he should step down or not. Most people are very angry with Morsi, and they mention why. Some of them say that the electricity cuts every day; others say that the water cuts every day too.
We’ve heard many calls to unify the Copts abroad in order to serve their Coptic cause. However the Egyptians were not big fans of immigrating, many Copts have decided to change this in the twentieth century that about 2 million Coptic Christians have already immigrated out of Egypt and others are still waiting. The new phenomenon came with the increasing suffering of the Copts, especially after the revolution in 1952. This revolution tried to change the Egyptian identity by imposing more Arabic and Islamic aspects, in addition to many terroristic attacks that targeted the Copts leading them to be marginalized in all walks of life.
The Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt are selling the idea that to overthrow them means to defeat Islam and put an end to its revival project in Egypt. This is known to be their last weapon, which has been useful for long time and enabled them to deceive many naive Egyptian people.
However the Copts are not pets to give them the governor’s leftovers, President Mohammed Morsy has decided finally to give them a permission to build a church 17 years after they first applied for it. This shows the difficulty of getting a license to build a church, and the persecution of the Copts by both the former and the current regime.
Case of Demiana Abdul Nour had nothing to do with freedom of speech. She was a victim of misfortune and conflicts between the principal and young Islamic teachers supported by the Islamic parties that trade on religion and wronged a naïve girl in order to achieve their political interests.
Yes, it is the count down in weeks to a very important date or appointment in Egypt or for Egyptians or call it whatever you want the appointment is 30th. Of June or on the 1st anniversary of Morsy or Dr. Morsy or whoever he is who sat on the ruling sit of Egypt that like most Egyptians I reject as president I never voted for him neither acknowledge the fake results of voting!
Recently, President Morsi has announced that he approves the first church in his era for the Copts. But we should be careful here; this church is not from Morsi but for him. You might ask what does it mean for him? It means that Morsi wanted to tell the Copts, at this time especially, that he is tolerant although he doesn’t mean the Copts surely, but he means the international community. Coincidently he is traveling to London soon.
Any administration always needs to continuous update and development, or else it would become decayed. Church’s administration is not an exception and it needs management just like other business and organizational activities. That’s why Jesus Christ arranged the work of this foundation to be done and supervised by certain people who are called the clergy.
As a Muslim man, many fanatics usually ask me: How come you claim that the Bible is not distorted? They also accuse me of contradicting Islam after I had published my book “In the Quran and Sunnah .. Gospel is not distorted”. However, as a journalist, I only seek the truth even if they don't like it.
After a new dam has been established in Ethiopia with potential serious effects on Egypt, some people have been talking on behalf of the church. Some of them said that the presidency has invited pope Tawadros to intervene and solve the crisis. They added that the Coptic Church has solved a similar crisis before during Mubarak’s regime using its historical connections and spiritual authority.
It's known that Recep Tayyip Erdogan is a smart politician who came to power after many Islamic leaders including Necmettin Erbakan failed to overthrow the secular regime in Turkey. However, his disciple Erdogan has learnt the lesson and took several steps that enabled him to apply their Islamic vision in Turkey.
The past 48 hours had a 180 degree turn around events in the middle east! Turkish streets in terrible turmoil for a change and not Tunis, Libya, Egypt or Syria! Demonstrations crossed the Mediterranean Sea and left the African/Asian continents to Europe!
Angelina Jolie announced recently that she did a surgery removing her breasts due to a gene she could have according to her family history. I feel sorry for that and sympathize greatly with her. I can feel how much she is brave to make a decision like that. She was actually forced to make this decision. It is hard a decision for anyone to make especially since she is a famous woman.
It was a strange coincidence that all terrorist organizations listed on the official websites of Western countries (including al-Qaeda, Hamas, the Islamic group, Jihad group, Abu Sayyaf and other terrorist organizations) have something in common. You may find more information about such terrorist groups on the official websites of the U.S. Department of State
Many Egyptians talk about the participation of father Sergius in the revolution of 1919. They mention proudly his historic speech in Al-Azhar mosque to unite the Egyptians against the British occupation, which manifested the vital role of the clergy to unite their people against injustice and occupation.
She found herself suddenly a very famous Coptic girl. Deminana Abdul Nour is a young lady who works as a teacher in Luxor, and represent the persecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt.
“Egyptians enjoy the same rights” is a lie that many Egyptian officials say in each sectarian strife. However, I'ld like to tackle such claimed equality in building houses of worship.
Last week I talked of our respectful Egyptian Army and his leader pointing out and from away the abduction incident of seven (7) solders! The incident was 1 or 2 days fresh and a lot was said about it and around it already between rumours and facts you could not distinguish where the truth lies! News or rumours said :-
