Monastery of St. Makarios of Alexandria did not exist at all until 1960. Its monastic life was founded by Father Matta El Meskeen who abandoned Cairo following the orders of the late Pope Kyrillos VI. Matta El Meskeen then chose this area that he knows very well. With the help of one of the Bedouins, he found the big cave where he established the monastery. He suffered a lot with his monks to establish this monastery and live in it with very few food and transportation.
The Egyptian people witnessed very special relationship with the leader of the army, Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi. The relationship grew stronger after the revolution of June 30 since he didn’t withhold his effort, time or money. Only terrorism and conspiracies disturb the relationship between the president and the people.
Mr. President, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, President of the Republic and Supreme Commander of the Egyptian armed forces. Your Excellency on October 21 have inaugurated new units added to the Egyptian Navy, in order to add power to defend our country. However, during the celebration, you have broken the constitution and citizenship rules by handing the holy Quran to the leaders of the new units with the Egyptian flag. This religious touch to our navy came against the equal citizenship of all Egyptian citizens including the Coptic Christians.
This article is not a continuation of targeting the Coptic church as many people may think. It's rather a continuation to shed light on some mistakes committed by some of our spiritual leaders who don't seek the due advise by specialized consultants who are many among our Coptic people.
The Copts have not yet fallen in the trap of the Muslim Brotherhood. I say this in the third anniversary of Maspero massacre when 24 young Egyptian people have been killed by the armored vehicles of their own country. Those Copts were demonstrating against burning the church of Marinab in Atfih.
I’ve waited for a while before revealing the bitter truth concerning the lady of Jabal al-Tair. Many people have ignited the fire including those who claim to be Coptic activists or even few Muslims. There are three parties involved in the story: The woman and her family, Ministry of Interior and Al-Azhar, and the promoters and beneficiaries of the story. The question is: Why did this case was magnified? It’s clear that a forty years old woman and a mother of five children and not so beautiful is not likely to be kidnapped. This always happen to Coptic minor girls who are kidnapped and forced to convert to Islam before they get married to Muslim men in order to make sure they can’t go back!
Who can trust that the United States cares for Egypt and her future? In fact, America has sent its American citizens of Egyptian origin to surround the president in the form of a presidential advisory board.
I’m worried about the American waves that hit the Egyptian shore these days. America has sent a delegation most of which are from African origins. Then, they released Apache helicopters and sent many American military leaders. Soon, many American agents appeared in media, research centers and businessmen.
In the midst of many disputes in Egypt, a lot of Egyptians have forgotten about the most intense phase and the most dangerous stage experienced by our country with many conspiracies aiming to divide and destroy the Egyptian state and the Egyptian institutions. Such conspiracies have increased with the increasing sense of patriotism and belonging to Egypt that removed the Muslim Brotherhood from power.
Dr. Tawfik Okasha has chosen the wrong time to break the national unity in Egypt. He decided to join Dr. Abdul Rahim Ali in his incomprehensible campaign against the Coptic Christian businessman Naguib Sawiris. However, Sawiris had donated millions of Egyptian pounds to Okasha and his private television. Moreover, Okasha launched his campaign against all Christians in Egypt ignoring their important role in saving Egypt from many foreign plots during the revolution of June 30.
The Egyptian armed forces surprised the whole world by introducing the marvelous project to dig a new watercourse of the Suez Canal. The old one was opened in November 16, 1869 in a legendary celebration in the presence of the architect of French colonialism, Ferdinand Delesibs, and Khedive Ismail. Yet, the new heroes of the new project are the Egyptian armed forces and the brave and Egyptian leader President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi.
In a memorable day in the modern history of Egypt, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took the oath of office on Saturday to become Egypt's first freely elected President and its first head of state. "I swear by the Almighty God to sincerely preserve the republican order and to respect the constitution and law, and completely care for the people's interest" is the oath of office taken by all senior officials of the state.
I sincerely wish to congratulate the Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, but I can’t celebrate and be glad when thousands of Egyptian homes have widows and orphans and thousands of wounded. Furthermore, Egypt’s economy has been suffering for years.
With the increasing religious awareness that came with the overthrown of the Muslim Brotherhood in July 3rd, 2014, it was proven that different Islamic movement like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis and the Takfirists are but different arms of the same ideology and group. All of them aim to establish the Islamic caliphate.
My enemies say of me in malice, “When will he die and his name perish?” When one of them comes to see me, he speaks falsely, while his heart gathers slander; then he goes out and spreads it around. All my enemies whisper together against me; they imagine the worst for me, saying, “A vile disease has afflicted him; he will never get up from the place where he lies.” Even my close friend,
His eminence king Abdallah, king of Saudi Arabia, has visited Egypt in a visit that doesn't have much to do with political protocols, but has a lot to do with brotherly love between two sister countries. He came as an ambassador for the good and love bringing all the support for Egypt and its people. The two leaders of Egypt and Saudi Arabia agreed to establish a political and military alliance among Egypt and the Gulf countries, except Qatar. They also agreed to hold an international press conference to declare this alliance and the Saudi's great support for Egypt.
With all due respect, I found it impossible to communicate with any bishop of the 120 members of the Holy Synod. Thus, I present this story to Pope Tawadros II, that he may read it and get the message. Mrs. Lynda Sadik Ghobrial suffered from cancer in the throat, and entered the Coptic Hospital in Ramses Street, Cairo, for treatment. Her poor family managed to pay 40.000 LE after selling what can be sold and borrowing what can be borrowed.
Egypt is in great danger with our crazy media and betrayals of human rights organizations. Thus, true Egyptian people have decided to put the road map in order to save their future supported by the armed forces, police and judicial system. After drafting the constitution, the Egyptian people decided to start with the presidential elections to stop many schemes supported by enemies of Egypt and carried out by revolutionary youth and human rights activists who betray their country for money.
The official results of the first decent and transparent presidential elections in the history of Egypt brought Field Marshal Abdul Fattah al-Sisi with sweeping victory after unprecedented popular campaign without electoral bribes. Such neutralism and transparency were recognized by all international observation delegations from Europe, Africa, the Middle East as well as the local organizations.
In the context of the Zionist huge plan to hit the Arab and Islamic world, led by Egypt, since the disaster of 9/11, the Muslim Brotherhood has carried out the plan aiming to divide Egypt through inciting great strife between Egypt's Copts and Muslims. The plan started by kidnapping, forced displacement and killing of the Copts. Those fanatics have issued fatwas allowing looting and destroying properties of the Copts. Furthermore, 84 Coptic churches and 11 monasteries were destroyed, most of which are priceless.
Since 2005, the USA started planning with Zionism to the so-called revolutions of the Arab Spring, in response to September 11, 2001 attacks, and hoping to prevent further terrorist attacks. It has used political Islamic regimes to carry out this plans in Tunisia , Egypt, Syria, Libya and Yemen aiming to divide these countries and make them suffer.
