Egyptians proved during the first phase of the Egyptian elections that the revolution is still going to cleanse Egypt of corruption and Religious fanaticism that hit the country since Sadat's rule that witnessed the emergence of political Islam. The ruling regime used political Islam to hit the opposition. Saudi Arabia backed extremist groups aiming to spread Wahabbism in Egypt. After January revolution, the Military Council recognized the terrorist groups and the religious parties, and gave them the country to ensure their safe exit.
For the second time in less than four months, Salafis decided to embarrass President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi before the whole world by attacking the Copts. This came few hours before his visit to the US. They attacked Copts of Ameriya in Alexandria at the time Copts in America are getting prepared for the visit of the president and to support him during his speech to the UN. This way, they gave the answer for potential questions about supporting the Salafis by the president and his intention not to dissolve religious based parties.
Wahhabi countries called Israel "the Zionist state" and called the western countries "infidels". It’s known that Wahhabism and Zionism are different, but they united against Christianity. Christ was crucified in Israel and Christians are cursed on daily basis in Wahhabi countries in addition to punishing those who perform Christian prayers on its land.
We, the Egyptians, have to admit that we are not able to make decisions anymore after years of retardation and ignorance of administration science by consecutive regimes in Egypt. We do suffer from superficial understanding and negligence. Thus, we always talk much but do less.
Trading on religion has become a feature of the sheikhs of the Salafist Wahhabism call in Egypt that collect money for themselves claiming they work for the good of Islam and the country. However, they only spread terrorism and work in politics and everything that works for their good. This very technique has previously brought us a retarded parliament making a joke of Egypt among the nations. Of course those fanatics were supported by several bribed judges as well as security.
I did not write this topic during Al-Fitr feast since the Egyptian people were celebrating the feast. The title of this article is "Dates" that were exploited by some people to incite sectarian strife between the sons of one homeland. I think we live in a country that grants freedom of worship and allows Christians to raise their crosses on the churches and to hold their religious rites with the exception of some few places that have hateful intolerant spread by some ghosts that live among us and their goal is to destroy the national unity.
After several Egyptians have been killed in Warraq accident, Giza governor decided to grant families of the dead 20.000 LE for each and 5.000 LE for the injured. This is repeated very often in several accidents in which Egyptians are killed because of negligence. Let the Egyptian people die for several reasons, and the compensation is known: 20.000 LE. This compensation is paid by the masters in our country to the slaves, I mean the poor.
Egyptians are eagerly watching the football matches between Al Zamalek and Al Ahly. Fans of the two big Egyptian teams are eagerly expecting their matches. These matches should be role models and good examples for tolerance, renounce violence and good morals. Therefore, fans of the big teams should start accepting the others and showing their tolerance in order to teach children about this tolerance.
After terrorist attacks in Egypt, we usually hear in media that blood of Muslims was mixed with blood of Christians who died in the attack. This may refers that we are proud to die together. I don’t really understand why people people like to die together when they can’t live together. Does this mean that we can’t find peace, tolerance and respect in our country and we seek it in another life! This is how we think, even if we don’t realize it. If we think that dying together is an achievement, we should rather find a way to live in peace. We should appreciate one another and accept our differences. This is the real achievement.
Linda Burnett, American Judge, has resigned from her judiciary position in a protest to the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to legislate gay marriage. However the new law was welcomed by gay associations and the US President Barak Obama, who described this matter as a victory for America, but also has faced a lot of controversy and objections from many people in America and all over the world. I congratulate the America judge on her dictions to obey God rather than the people. Her courage and purity decided to choose her eternal life rather than a vanishing office.
There was a terrorist attack last Saturday in front of the Italian Embassy in Egypt that caused huge damage in the consulate, houses, shops and cars around it. Several terrorist attacks happened in Egypt while people were fasting during the holy month of Ramadan putting the government, security services and all Egyptians under pressure and fear. Our police need to wake up and stop dealing with the crimes this way. Terrorists are given golden chance to escape with their evil plans as police takes too much time to move.
After the fall of dictator Hosni Mubarak' regime, Egypt couldn’t confront the fundamentalist terrorist attacks. Countries in the Middle East have been suffering from real setback since the beginning of the Arab spring, simply because they need a real change, and not just a fake one. The problem is that peoples in the Muslim countries such as Iraq and Tunisia don’t have an idea or a complete theory about modern and democratic regime that enforce the law and protect the freedoms. They simply live in a state of religiosity that considers such regime kind of blasphemy. Therefore, ISIS and the Muslim Brotherhood found a fertile ground in the region and spread their destruction.
On Friday, June 12th, one newspaper published a statement made by the novelist Joseph Qaeed who said that it's better for Egypt to postpone the parliamentary elections until the Egyptian people develop a sense of awareness and culture. It's really amazing to discover just now that the Egyptians were not aware enough when they overthrew the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood and when they voted for president al-Sisi!
What’s happened in our society? How do people deal with each other? Have we come to the stage where people eat donkey's meat in their meals? Unfortunately, the answer is Yes. Moreover, cars are hit and attackers just escape. Women are sexually harassed and our men don’t move a muscle to defend them. We indeed experience a decline in morality and societal values as we see a horrible contradiction between words and deeds. While you came out in the streets, you must notice many marks of our religious community, but at the same time we find increasing rates in crimes in our streets. What is this contradiction?
As a disabled Egyptian citizen, I was very impressed with your positive step and brilliant apology for the masses of individual lawyers for the offensive statements, which was released from a police officer against a lawyer last week. I admired your statements that you appologized for each lawyer promising to give them all their rights. Indeed, Mr. President, your efforts and tangible works in Egypt makes me believe say that you are really wonderful, but it is also will be most spectacular to feel the suffering of the rest of your people, the Egyptian people, whom are really love you with all sincerity.
I can’t believe what is happening now in Egypt, the ancient and antique state, Egypt Mother of the World and the source of civilizations and home of divine messages. What is happening now is persecution for the honorable Copts, whom are sons of Egypt. It is an incredible thing that’s not approved by the laws of celestial nor provided in humanity laws . What is happening now in Egypt to the honorable Copts from expelling, is not only a great crime in all ages and reigns, but also it is the maximum kind of terrorism at this age. We do not believe and do not want to believe what is happening even though we watched and heard in the Egyptian media the suffering which Egyptian Copts face.
There were several disasters and calamities experienced in Egypt this month. First, 500 tons of phosphate sank in the Nile a week ago, which occupied the Egyptian public opinion amid floundering statements by officials and experts who tried to reassure the citizens about the polluted water. Experts assured that the phosphate contains a number of Heavy metals such as uranium and cadmium, which cause adverse effects on human beings in case of melting in the water. However, some Ministers claimed it’s hard to dissolve in the water since it’s a metal, which is totally wrong. It's a scientifically known fact that phosphate is a salt of phosphoric acid.
To be an Egyptian journalist on World Press Freedom Day (3 May), one must have a healthy sense of ironic juxtaposition. In Egypt, as most journalists and readers know, the words freedom and journalism, particularly under the harsh light of the Al-Sisi regime, in the same sentence elicit a loud and bitter laugh. Freedom of speech has never, in many years in this profession covering Egypt, been a mainstay. But in the past 20 months, while Al-Sisi ruled initially De jure and now De Facto, holding a pen has become associated only with fear and oppression-especially if you write in the political/economic realm. Indeed, as respected Egyptian journalist Yosri Fouda said, last week: “The current scene in Egypt is among the worst in journalism history.” I disagree – in 25 years of practicing, reading, watching and listening to Egyptian media this is, without equivocation, the darkest hour for Egyptian media. But the regime neglects an important detail, just as it plies the journalistic drink with fear it greatly fears the very pen it attacks.
An Egyptian journalist has called recently Egyptian women to demonstrate in Tahrir Square and take off the veil. This is how we care about the appearances rather than our actual problems. The veil is just style of clothing that expresses the character and style of one woman just like bikini.
Many plans aiming to restore the Islamic Caliphate by Turkey appeared these days to restore the Ottoman Empire from the Atlantic Ocean to the Gulf with the help of the small state of Qatar and the international terrorist organization of the Muslim Brotherhood. These plans were ignited by the corruption of Arab governments, increasing religious extremism and poverty.
We have to work in order to achieve our dreams. Imagine being diving in a deep sea and you have to go up as soon as possible before you run out of oxygen. You can see the sunlight from afar. Yet, you don't have enough time. You should work as hard as you can in order to save your life. This is how you should work in your life. If you don't work hard in order to achieve your goals, you will die before you can see them in your reality. Therefore, I invite you to work harder and harder to break despair barrier and turn your dreams into reality.

An Arabic language teacher from the Qabaa school in the Nozha district flogged a Coptic pupil ten years old named Bibawi Faragallah 40 times with an electric wire last week.
