The current Russian-Iranian-Syrian-Iraqi alliance aims not only to fight IS in Iraq and Syria, but also to push it towards the border of the Saudi Arabia and supporting it against the Saudi Kingdom. Russia has never forgot what Saudi Arabia did in Afghanistan in the reigns of Kings Khaled and Fahd when the Saudi Arabia offered the jihadists advanced weapons including "stinger" and shipped terrorists from all over the world to fight the Red Army. Those jihadists joined armies of ISIS later.

The biggest service provided by ISIS to Israel is the destruction of the two important Arab countries, Syria and Iraq, hoping that such destruction will hit other countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia as well. Libya and Yemen are also on the list with the Gulf countries. However, it is really strange that many opinion polls proved that ISIS is supported by the majority of the Muslims in the Arab countries. This gives ISIS much power and support, especially after Al-Azhar refused to call ISIS infidel. This should have something to do with the ultra fanatic curricula of Al-Azhar and its institutions and universities.

There is nothing more painful than feeling injustice in ones homeland. This is exactly what happened to the Coptic families in one of the villages of Beni Suef, which have been expelled after a customary meeting, as a result of charging one member of these family of publishing offensive pictures against the Islamic faith, as if that faith is so fragile and in bad need to protection and guards. There is so injustice to make the Copts fearing Kidnapping of their sons every single day expecting calls from kidnappers asking for ransoms in order to release their sons and daughters, or lose them forever. Salafis leader Yasser Brhamme gave a sermon in one lesson for nearly two hours which entitled "The worst thing of Christians is their faith".

Pope Francis presided over religious services attended by the Catholic Armenian Patriarch and Armenian President Serge Sargsian to commemorate the centennial anniversary of the terrible massacre committed by the Ottoman Turks against the Armenians, in which 1.5 million Armenians were killed and thousands were displaced to neighboring countries. He also described this as genocide. Soon, the Turkish government denounced the statement claiming that the Armenians were able to mislead the Pope as well as the people and fabricate the story. It also claimed that it was only a civil war in which both Armenians and Turks have suffered.

The Yazidi is a Kurdish-speaking ethnoreligious group who practice a syncretic religion that combines Shi'i and Sufi Islam with indigenous regional folk traditions. These traditions include elements shared with the Christian and Mandaean communities of the Near East, as well as with more ancient Gnostic, Marcionite, Zoroastrian and early Mesopotamian religions.

If Hamdeen Sabahi wins the upcoming presidential elections on May 26-27, 2014, will he fulfill his promises towards the Muslim Brotherhood to empower them to return to the political scene and gradually restore power in Egypt? I guess he won’t as many indications point out that Sabahi won’t get more than 15% of the total votes. Knowing they won’t have place in the political scene under the regime of al-Sisi, the Muslim Brotherhood finds Hamdeen Sabahi a much better option, and therefore they may decide to support him.

A Coptic Christian friend told me that he used to work in the Eastern Province of the Saudi Arabia. He said that many times did he have to hide his faith in order to live in peace, especially when his colleagues started taking pride of their faith and curse the Jews and Christians. He had to fast during the holy month of Ramadan and ignore many insults to his faith. Furthermore, once he had to pray in a mosque with people cursing Christians and their faith in their prayers! In fact, he was lucky that his name didn’t reveal his real identity, or else he would have suffered even more.

It is not true that the Arab Spring of demolition has started when Mohamed Bou Azizi burned himself alive leading many regimes in North Africa and the Middel East to meet their destiny. Here, I don't want to defend the bad governors including Mubarak whom were abandoned by the Americans when his people revolted against him.

Eight years have passed since the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat has died or has been killed. However nowadays, his death is being investigated as well as his clothes to find out if this great leader was assassinated or not.
