Egypt has always been under the control of a superpower. Muhammad Ali in the early nineteenth century admired the western civilization and decided to make Cairo like France. Khedive Ismail even named Cairo "France of the East". His successors followed this rule for a while until Egypt was occupied by Britain and became an English colony.

After the Coptic Orthodox Church in Minya refused to pray for the bodies of a Coptic bride and groom who died of gas leakage in Minya governorate, northern Cairo, many people attacked the church accusing her of hatred for other Christians. I believe that there is no intercession for the dead by such prayers, but only offering condolences to the family of the dead person. The people accusing the church of hatred for this reason know that the church has rules and traditions. Those people are willing to incite against the church by all means.

The white coup by the Egyptian officers in 1952 came in coordination with Wahhabism religious leaders in the region to take control of the Middle East. The Saudi regime planned to topple all kings in the region starting with King Farouk who had the best army. They were planning that the Saudi king will rule all Arab countries. Those officers fell in the Saudi trap of cooperation with Muslim Brotherhood to overthrow the regime. It incited discord among the Egyptian people until the officers took over power as well as money of the rich people. The Parliament was then divided between workers and peasants without taking into consideration the qualifications of those representing the people and would affect the future of Egypt.

Egyptian media published the story of Dina Ovadia that Egypt revoked her citizenship because she joined the IDF. Egyptian media that accused her of causing shame to the Egyptian societies after joining the army of the Zionist entity just ignored the shame that led her out of Egypt. They didn’t realize that this provided a legal precedent for revoking citizenship for any Egyptian who joins the Army of a foreign country. This should change the plans of Saudi Arabia that has been seeking to recruit young Egyptians to fight Iran.

Many Copts criticize church leaders through many websites and media, especially when it comes to financial and administrative affairs. They have the right to criticize for the sake of reform, not to distort the reputation of others. Those people couldn’t reach Pope Tawadros and their voices were not heard since secretaries of the Pope don’t deliver such messages to the Pope or they underestimate problems of the people.

For the second year, the President headed to the great Cathedral in Abbassia to congratulate Christians on Christmas. Al-Sisi made a historic visit to the church to congratulate Coptic Christians on their feast. Former presidents in Egypt had chances to be the first to do this, but it was God’s will that al-Sisi would be the first to visit a church at Christmas eve to congratulate the Coptic Christians on Christmas and to give example to the next presidents in Egypt.

Before the monotheistic religions, people worshipped idols, animals, plants, sun and moon. They offered several offerings believing they are true gods. Today, several people are atheists who don’t recognize the existence of God at all. Other countries ban holy books of other religions that they don’t recognize and forbid building their houses of worship. In fact, so many gods were created by men and next are few examples: First: god of money since money has became the primary goal of all peoples who are enslaved to it rather than true God. Those people lost their values, customs and traditions and even became criminals. Even countries wage wars seeking this god.

The Egyptian government introduced the Department of Immigration once again after it was canceled for twenty years. Two month ago, a female Minister for Immigration was chosen based on her CV and personal features. I remember the day she swore the oath of office before the president. She was wearing a nice dress, but our media criticized it instead of talking about her performance or CV. I had to write an article to apologize for such nonsense at that time. The great anchor Nagwa Ibrahim hosted the minister at her secondary school where she put on the uniform of the school without having a sense of guilt because of such funny act.

60 years have passed in Egypt since the Free Officers Revolution in 1952. This revolution aimed to eliminate the monarchy in cooperation with the Muslim Brotherhood that dreams of reviving the glory of Islam and applying the Islamic Sharia in Egypt and all over the world. This was sponsored by the Saudi Arabia, capital of Wahhabism. The goal was to use Al-Azhar institution to spread such teachings after it became a huge university. Graduates of this university are preferred in all institutions, which allow them to spread fanaticism in all institutions. This was the reason behind religious intolerance and the increasing religious outward like beards, niqab and hijab. Egyptian labor returning from the Saudi Arabia contributed to achieve such goal.

Religion is different from politics since politics is full of hypocrisy, deceit, and lying. Clergy who work in politics should stay away from religion in order not to offend religion. After Berhamy and Paula played the hypocrite in committee to amend the constitution, they tried to mobilize the people to vote in favor of certain candidates in the parliamentary elections. This comes after they passed a religious based constitution according to their preferences.

The Egyptians know Mr. Osama Heikal, one Maspero officials who were responsible for the great massacre against the peaceful Coptic demonstrators. The official state television incited against Christians by claiming that the Christian demonstrators have attacked the Egyptian army and killed several soldiers. Maspero Massacre was initially staged as demonstrations on October 2011 by a group dominated by Egyptian Copts in reaction to the demolition of a church in Upper Egypt claimed to be built without appropriate license. The peaceful protesters who intended to stage a sit-in in front of the Maspiro television building were attacked by security forces and the army, resulting in 28 deaths, mostly among the Coptic protestors, and 212 injuries, most of which were sustained by Copts.

I knew the Egyptian online forces after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins. At that time, several Egyptian governmental websites were under attack until the Egyptian hackers appeared calling themselves Egyptian online forces. They don’t belong to the government, but they do belong to Egypt. Therefore, they started to attack counter Egypt websites that incite against police and army.

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.
