Egypt is expecting the presidential elections that should be competitive and present equal opportunities to each candidate concerning the public television and newspapers. This is the basics of democracy and justice advocated by the revolution of June 30, 2012. In fact, the Egyptian people decided to revolt against the powers of tyranny overthrowing two regimes in just three years. Therefore, the next president, whoever he is, should take heed that the people alone are the source of authorities.
The Egyptians are participating today and tomorrow in referendum on Egypt’s new constitution. Despite my dislike to some of its articles, I believe this one is a major starting point for democracy, social justice and the rule of law. This constitution fights discrimination among Egyptian citizens on the basis of religion, color, sex, or race. Furthermore, it confirms the Egyptian identity and national sovereignty and protects our armed forces against the plots of the Muslim Brotherhood.
Many people have been talking about the upcoming presidential elections and whether it is lawful for Gen. Abdul Fatah al-Sisi to run for the presidency? I myself will be more than happy to support him if he decides to run for the presidency. There was a strong debate about which election should come first, the parliamentary or the presidential election? Each team has a decent point of view that supports their idea.
Not every president can be a great leader, but a great leader should be a good president. God gave few people such gift and ability to take decisions in the most difficult circumstances. Such leaders are able to change the history for their beliefs. Gen. Abdul Fattah al-Sisi is one of those men who changed the history and affected many countries including the United States of America. He decided to support millions of Egyptians demonstrating in the Egyptian streets and Squares demanding the overthrown of Dr. Mohamed Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood.
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!
It became clear that the American scheme to divide the Middle East to small countries based on religion, sects and races has been failed, after the great revolution of June 30 in which president Mohamed Morsy was ousted and a public mandate given to Egyptian government to fight terrorism. Consequently, many senior leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood were arrested on serious charges of murder and inciting violence including setting around 80 churches on fire and attacking many properties of the Copts.
Under such brutal and systematic attacks against the Coptic Christians in Egypt, it is important to think about establishing a Court that's specialized in sectarian disputes in Egypt, especially after the unprecedented escalating violence and crimes of collective aggression against the Christians in Egypt. Furthermore, their properties and churches have been attacked, demolished, robbed and seized. They were kidnapped for huge ransoms, and suffered from forced displacement. Moreover, many Christian minor girls are being kidnapped and forced to be converted into Islam.
It's clear that Egypt is suffering under the Muslim Brotherhood rule. This is true at many levels including: economic, political, educational, etc. Moreover, Egyptians now are suffering from unprecedented poverty and humiliation.
Muslim Brotherhood was established basically for the Islamic Dawa, but it has lost its goal after it had mixed politics with religion to seize power. It has also established a political party, which is against MB principles, and defends the blood of the martyrs while their hands are stained with the blood of many Egyptians.
