Does Pope Tawadros know that martyrdom in Christianity is a Golden Bridge or short cut to eternal life? Recently, 7 Coptic Christians have been killed execution style by Ansar al- Sharia group in Libya. Thus, they have indeed won crowns of martyrdom and got higher rank in heaven than the saints and all members of the Holy Synod.
Among waves of conflicts and disputes, the Holy Synod, headed by H.H. Pope Tawadros II, has issued the new Pope election regulation. Then, it was sent to the Presidency for approval. Some people may ask: Why did the Holy Synod have such conflict and disputes among the bishops? Simply because some of them prefer the old regulation with slight changes in terms of expanding the voters list. This team refuses to correct the situation in accordance with the patristic tradition and the laws of the church.
I would not stop warning against the conspiracies against Egypt, especially after the revolution of June 30. Such conspiracies are mainly supported by media, which targets our minds. They mainly aim at destroying Egypt and its institutions including army, police and judiciary. They also use inexperienced or dishonest young people to spread depression and despair among the people.
Qatar has exceed all limits by supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, America and Israel. It keeps insulting Egypt, its people and army through its news network Aljazira in Arabic and English languages. Furthermore, it supports enemies of Egypt like Sheikh Qaradawi and grant them a Qatari citizenship in order to protect them.
Egyptian media is run by many wild generals like Ahmed Bahgat, businessman and owner of Dream TV, Mohamed Amin, contractor and owner of 14 private satellite channels, Naguib Sawiros, businessman and owner of ONTV as well as several newspapers, Emad Gad, chairman of Tahrir TV, pharmacist Makram Mahanna, CEO of Mehwar TV, and Tarek Nour, CEO of al-Kahera Welnas TV.
I was surprised to hear the Egyptian media conveying the message that millions of Egyptians have happily celebrated the third anniversary of January 25 revolution. In fact this revolution was but a disaster to the Egyptians and their economy following an American-Zionist conspiracy called the Arab spring.
After the Arab spring, Egypt was hit by some kind of “political bomb” that caused the existence of 82 political parties and 431 movements, fronts, and unions. These many political views were discussed by thousands of people who, unfortunately, care for their party more than their country. Therefore, many people lost their sense of belonging to their country. With much talk, people worked less, cared less about their country, and clashed more. Dozens of private televisions and talk shows distracted the people from working for their country. Only businessmen made the best use of such too much talking.
With a great sense of nationalism, the interim President Adli Mansour commissioned Ahmad Maslamani, his Media Advisor who belong to the Muslim Brotherhood, to pay a visit to Aswan in order to congratulate Sir Magdi Yacoub, Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery, on receiving the the UK's highest honor, Order of Merit. This unique medal that was given only to 24 people all over the world.
On the occasion of Eastern Christmas, we commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ who came to earth and incarnated for our salvation. From the bottom of my heart, I congratulate H.H. Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of St. Mark See, as well as all the clergy, praying to God that they may stop fighting and start working in peace and spreading love everywhere. This is the commandment of our Lord that they teach us about, but rarely practice.
In a similar attack to bombing the Saints Church in Alexandria on New Year's Eve 2011, Mansoura Security Directorate was bombed causing 17 people to lose their lives and about 200 were wounded. In the Saints Church, 25 were killed, including children, and more than 70 were wounded. Supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood spread rumors that this Minister was responsible for destroying his ministry, breaking into prisons and setting 95 police stations on fire! Yet, he could find out the terrorists and announced their names in a press conference. Furthermore, people felt safe under his leadership.
The billionaires Safwan Thabet, owner of Johania Food Industries, and Mohamed Momen, owner of Momen Food Courts, are also well-known leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood. They financially support the banned group and pay them a lot of money to cause huge destruction to Egypt and kill many Egyptians including Muslims and Christians.
Amending Egypt's constitution has raised too many disputes, which were likely to happen with the existence of so many American agents in the fifty-members committee to amend the 2012 constitution, which included all spectra of the Egyptian society save the professors of constitutional law! There was doctors, artists, poets, directors, political activists and Islamists. I wonder how come they didn't invite the Egyptian folk singer Shaban Abdul Rahiem to this committee in order to accomplish their mission to make the committee fail and produce a non-consensual constitution in order to break down the army led road map.
Some so-called young revolutionaries who belong to April 6 movement as well as some socialists have broken the Egyptian law by demonstrating in Talaat Harb Square in Cairo giving big test to the state, challenging its ability to apply the new protest law. They were asked nicely to dismiss their protest until they get a license. However, they refused and verbally abused the police. Thus, they were arrested according to the law.
After a strong debate, protest law was passed by the presidency in order to save what can be saved in Egypt and stop its destruction. Soon, human rights activists decided to demonstrat in front of the Shura Council, giving a real test for the sovereignty of the state. However, such act was strongly supported by the Muslim Brotherhood.
Throughout its history, Egypt has passed through many defeats as well as victories made by its great sons. Yet, the current stage had much more defeats with much less victories. One of these victories was achieved at the the Egyptian foreign affairs. There is a hidden leader who has wisely managed the ministry under the current significant moment.
In July 3, 2013, Judge Adly Mansour took over as the interim President after the revolution of June 30. On July 26, 33 million Egyptians gave mandate to the army to fight terrorism in Egypt. In fact, the army did a great job fighting terrorism in Sinai and all over Egypt. This drove betrayals like Baradei, ex-vice president, Beblawy, the Prime Minister, and others who claim defending the freedoms and democracy crazy. They used the support of other traitor and misleading media to finish the Egyptian state following the schemes of many foreign intelligence agencies.
When he was chosen as pope, Abba Tawadros promised to repair the house from inside and to stay away from politics. However, after one year, he has fulfilled none of these two promises. Nothing has been fixed in the house and politics are mixed with pastoral care.
Winds of change came upon Egypt after the revolution of 30 June, 2013. Some changes were positive while the others were negative. Yet, it was strong enough to force Superpowers to change its policies in the Middle East. Unfortunately, this revolution brought people like Mohamed El Baradie, Hazem El Beblawy and others to the scene. Soon, the ugly faces of the traitors were revealed. The government failed to achieve any progress in the economy and worked hard to implement the American agenda to destroy Egypt and return the Muslim Brotherhood to the political scene in Egypt.
Last Monday, on November 4th, was an honorable day for Egypt and its people, police and judges. This came as they did their best in order to return Egypt bak to the Egyptian people after it was lost for about three years. Egypt came back against the will of many arabic and foreign countries and their intelligence agencies, which tried to prevent the trials of leaders of the Muslim Brotherhood by the court of law.
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.
• The Muslim Brotherhood promised to burn Egypt on August 31; however, they could do nothing. They and their friends should be ashamed now. I salute the valiant armed forces and the heroes of the police, as well as all souls of their martyrs.
