There were several condemnations of US, European Union and UN against Egypt after Egyptian police have been investigating a number of local human rights organizations on charges of receiving money from abroad, which is known in the Egyptian media as «foreign funding case». Moreover, Egyptian police is suffering from many accusations after the torture and killing of the Italian student Julio Regina. They failed to convince the public opinion due to its loss of credibility and bad reputation.

There are certain groups of people that always ruin the life in Egypt at all ages. They have been stealing treasures of Egypt and destroyed all morals after they worshipped all governors and kings that came in power. Such groups worshipped King Farouk and his family, wives and even his mistresses. History tells us that those people flattered the governors till the end.

Jesus Christ out of his love said that we should bless those who curse us, but he is just and lover of mankind at the same time. He was crucified to achieve such justice. Therefore, Christians should know that they should be brave and claim their rights. I know two examples to those Christians who claimed their rights and refused to surrender and eat their tongues.

Monasticism in Egypt has origins and traditions practiced throughout its long history. It has always been sponsored by the Church and enriched her. Pope Tawadros said that church honored monasticism since its very beginning in Egypt during the third and fourth centuries. Monks dedicated their time for prayers and helping the people. Monasticism is based on obedience and repentance. It knows nothing about conflicts, wars and violence. Monks seek quiet life and poverty. It has nothing to do with pride, media shows and resist the authorities.

Arab people shouldn’t be happy to have very bad relations with America, Russia and the West. In fact, we should have been seeking friendship and cooperation with these countries. However, we should hate them for inciting disagreement between Arab countries. We lose and they make a lot of money. Indeed, we should blame ourselves for giving them a chance to do so. They are like hungry lions and we are the stupid bulls. We were lost when we allowed the lion to eat one of us. We were lost when we were divided according to identity and religion.

On the anniversary of the departure of Pope Cyril VI, I would like to share this miracle that happened to me by Pope Cyril. It should be known first that millions of Copts had similar miracles done through the intersession of Pope Cyril. In 2000, I had strong pain in the abdominal area that used to last for hours. I visited the doctor who assured me I have several Gallstones. I had to undergo a surgical operation. I was listening to hymns and praises dedicated to Pope Cyril all the time. I took a nap, and all of a sudden, I had a dream that Pope Cyril is sitting next to the doctor. He asked me: “Is that the doctor who is going to perform the surgery?” “No, another doctor since this one is very busy”, I said.

I was so sad to hear about the crisis of Minya children who were sentenced to five years in prison on charges of contempt of Islam. However, it showed that the state institutions know that Christian children are born men! Egypt sees them more adult than other intellectuals like Islam Behairy and Fatima Naaot since the children were sentenced to more years in prison than those intellectuals! The judge must find such ruling fair according the constitutional and law. Moreover, Christian girls are treated the same way before the same institutions since they are allowed to convert to Islam at any age considering them children no more!

Days ago, an Egyptian court sentenced a group of Egyptian Christian children in Minya to five years because of a 40 seconds video clip in which they imitate the slaughter of 21 Copts in Libya by ISIS. This means that they will be imprisoned 45 days for each second. I said in a previous article that the contempt of religion law has become a sword hanging over the necks of the Copts. A mistaken “like” or “share” on Facebook may send you to prison in no time. Copts in general refuse insulting Islam or any religion by all means. However, this law can only see defamation of Islam and ignore all defamation of Christianity.

What has happened recently by some policemen in Egypt including sexually harassing a girl who was going out of a church, beating doctors at a hospital and killing a taxi driver for dispute over fare, can’t be attributed to a conspiracy of the Muslim Brotherhood or increasing arrogance of policemen! In fact, Egyptian policemen forgot everything about dignity of Egyptian citizens 40 years ago. They got used to hit the people inside police stations and even arrest innocent relatives of people wanted by police.

Police will always remain faithful and loyal, while the people are the sinners, criminals and traitors that don’t deserve protection of the police. This is how media always talk when it comes to comparison between police and the people. Police defend the people and the nation while the people are the one who gives up his dignity and even threatens the nation. Policemen are said in media to sacrifice their souls for the sake of the nation, while the people have never offered similar sacrifice for the nation.

The third Gulf War became at hand, which reminds us of the second Gulf War and the end of Sadam Hussein. Such end that destroyed Iraq and divided its people and turned it to pastureland for the terrorists and led the Americans to occupy the gulf countries and its treasures. Kings of Wahhabism enslaved their people for years and imposed the Wahhabi identity on them. They used the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice gangs to ensure the loyalty of their people. They thought they will be able to buy the people.

God wants us to worship him with the spirit rather than words. Marriage in Christianity is based on unity among God, man and wife. However, committing adulatory may break such bond of marriage. Spiritual adulatory is considered by the church another reason to permit divorce which is converting to another religion. Other reasons to permit divorce are cheating and impotence. Jesus Christ, head of the church, put laws of love and mercy and gave the church the authority to follow that spirit. Prohibition of divorce may protect families and children from dispersion. Yet, divorce is a must in many cases like a spouse is drug addict or perverted and sexually harasses his daughters!

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.
