I have disagreed with many people who said that the Egyptians are not yet ready for democracy. I thought that Egypt can repeat the experience of South Africa, but I was mistaken.
The Egyptian revolution has came to demand justice and equality among all all Egyptians. However, what happens now aims to humiliate and displace the Coptic Christians. For no good reason, Coptic churches and properties are attacked in the same manner, and most probably by the same people. However, the state doesn't take an action, and all this could have changed if it had.
People in Egypt are extremely suffering and lacking security, but the president and the Muslim Brotherhood are giving the greatest concern to hand Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood group.
President Mohammed Morsy has given many promises that had never been kept. He promised to solve many problems during his first 100 days, but things are getting even worse! Garbage is all over Egypt, gas is rarely found, bread is too bad, security has many issues to the extent that the governor of Kafr el-Sheik was robbed under duress! Moreover, Dr. Morsy has promised to take consensual decisions, but he has never done so even upon drafting the constitution of Egypt.
Coptic Orthodox Church was led during the transitional period by the Abba Pachomius, the Acting Patriarch, till His Holiness Pope Tawadros was enthroned as the 118th Pope carrying the number 118. To me, Celebrating the mass as well as the official enthronement were like a journey to heaven or like living the first days of the Church when “They all joined together constantly in prayer”. Abba Pachomius could take his people to heaven through his humbleness, love and self-denial.
It is normal and logical that the President of a state puts the people of his country as top priority in his agenda, giving them the greatest concern. Doing this, he can try to help or sympathize with people of other countries who are suffering somehow. However, Islamists have another point of view that you can understand upon looking closely at the reaction of the President after two great events or incidents: First, the attack on Gaza in Palestine, which is not governed by President Morsy as it has its own elected President. Second, the terrible accident in Assiut, Egypt, in which more than 50 children were killed because of negligence and empty talk of the Islamists who brought only retardation to Egypt. Our President had a very strong reaction concerning the people of Gaza, but not of his people in Egypt.
No body is going to pay you like those who pay for kidnapping the minor Coptic girls!
Everybody in Egypt was surprised and felt angry after all defendants in camel battle were acquitted
I can assure you that the revolution has reached all kinds of failures. It allowed religious currents in power, which proved to be even worse than the former regime concerning suppression, marginalization of opponents calling them “infidels”.
I don't find any good reasons that Salafis may hate the Coptic Christians and the Church that much
Revolution of January 25 came to achieve 3 main demands, which are: better subsidized bread, freedom, and social justice. There were few other related demands such as the elimination of corruption, bribery and nepotism as well as trading of power and put an end to the domination of one political party. That's why hundreds of pure patriot young people have sacrificed their lives to give Egypt as well as all Egyptians a better life. Now we ask: Has the revolution succeeded?
Everyone knows what President Gamal Abdel Nasser did in Egypt, and how he led the country under the oppression of military rule, which wiped out the democratic regime that was existing before the revolution of July 23. He arrested the former President Mohamed Naguib and put him under house arrest until his death because Naguib said the army must return to its barracks and deliver the authority for the civilians.
Yesterday, there was another attempt to break into a church, after demolishing the church of Atfih, burning the church of Embaba
President Mohammed Morsy will never work away from Muslim Brotherhood after it had brought him to the presidential office. MB had a project since its very beginning. It's not true that MB will separate from Morsy, or Morsy from MB. Moreover, I believe that all his real advisers and assistances will be MB members. Moreover, he wouldn't take any important decision without consulting the Guidance Bureau of MB.
Thanks to crises as they reveal men. We saw Ahemd Shafik who has honorably lost the elections against Dr. Mohammed Mursy however all of us know that the elections should have been annulled after the results had been rigged,
MB history since its very beginning or the beginning of the revolution of January 25 does not bode at all that they will bring something good for Egypt. MB has called the revolutionists drug addicted and adulterers. Moreover, it charged the judges of corruption and called Christians infidels. Furthermore, it charged ministry of interiors of corruption and issued an advisory opinion that tourism as well as banking is haram or prohibited by Islam.
I'm surprised that political movements, parties, youth revolution coalitions as well as liberal candidates for the presidency are going to support Dr. Mohammed Mursy, the candidate of Muslim Brotherhood against Ahmed Shafik. They know that Mursy and his Freedom and Justice Party are seeking a religious state in Egypt to restore the Islamic caliphate and declare the Islamic law. Moreover, they support MB and their candidate and when they felt that Mursy would lose, they demanded the cancellation of the best Egyptian presidential elections ever.
