Since the revolution of 1952, the Egyptian regime decided to distract the Egyptian people from their real problems. During the fifties and sixties, they started dividing the Egyptian community between fans of Ahli and Zamalek clubs, fans of Farid al-Atrash and Abdel Halim Hafez, but terrorizing the Copts was not part of this scheme, and the state didn’t allow this though the Copts were already persecuted in several places and the Hatt-i humayun restricted the building of churches.

An Orthodox priest who doesn’t belong to the Coptic Church came to visit me. I discussed with him the crisis of not praying on dead couple in Minya since they are not Orthodox. Many people accused the Coptic church of being merciless. The old priest knew nothing about the debate. I asked him: “what will you do if somebody among your congregation dies after he left your church and joined another one. Then, his family asks you to pray in his funeral, would you? He said that he would pray for him at the funeral home or in his house, but not in my church. He added that he doesn’t condemn that person or claim he is going to hell or heaven, but it’s not fair to pray for him using prayers that he didn’t believe in during his life. This is how the church deals with those who refused her faith.

In his visit to Canada, Pope Tawadros offered the Coptic Christians in Canada to celebrate Christmas on December 25 instead of January 7. Yet, it was more surprising that many Copts have totally refused the idea. Until the 16 century, the Copts celebrated Christmas on December 25, which corresponded to 29 Kiahk in the Coptic calendar. However, with the amendment to the Gregorian calendar, the date changed to January 7. It was surprising that the Pope offers such proposal, but the congregation refused to separate themselves from the mother church. It’s but a start of big change.

By the end of the year 2013, the Muslim Brotherhood was removed from power. Furthermore, a great leader appeared on the political platform and got many fans among the Egyptian; I mean Egypt’s defense minister Gen. Abdul Fatah al-Sisi. This man opposed not only the Muslim Brotherhood and many terrorist organizations, but also the American CIA that supported them. He was apparently supported by some sort of a divine power to succeed.

For the first time after the revolution of June 30, the famous satirist Bassef Youssef have presented his program, al-Bernameg. The first episode of its new season provoked many lovers of General Abdul Fattah al-Sisi.

Last November, after the massacre of Maspero, I joined Mr. Hanna Hanna and Mr. Medhat Aweidah to meet with Gillian Keelty, Senior Advisor of Anti-ethnic cleansing office under the Secretary-General of the United Nations in New York City. During the meeting, which lasted for 90 minutes, we made a presentation and gave her a file prepared by the lawyer Hanna Hanna about the practices of the Egyptian government and the massacres and prosecution they suffer from since the era of Sadat till Maspero massacre.

I have read that a male scorpion after reproduction becomes so weak and the female kills him after she had got his spermatophore. This is so similar to what happens between Muslim Brotherhood and the Supreme Council of Armed Forces, as their first child didn't live long (I mean the Parliament), MB has conceived the brilliant child (I mean Mursy). Later, I'm sure that MB will come and kill the SCAF just like the female scorpion kills its male.
