Some people refuse to call the events of Jan. 25, 2011 as a revolution. I think they have the rights to do so, as revolutions usually aim to topple a bad regime and solve many problems. In Egypt, the “revolution” hasn't solved any problems and brought a worse regime. Giving its mixed standards, we can call it a “reversed revolution”.
One of the strange concepts brought by the Egyptian “revolution” is the police aims at protecting the regime and the Muslim Brotherhood rather than the people. Moreover, police have cooperated with the thugs in attacking the mourned Coptic Christians at the Great Cathedral of St. Mark on April 7th.
Another strange standard you many see in Egypt after the so called revolution is that the criminals are treated just like the victims. After police and thugs have attacked the Christians at St. Mark Cathedral, the presidency claimed that the Christians have started the attack! Furthermore, police arrested 7 Christians and 7 Muslims to negotiate releasing all of them, and close the case forever like all other attacks on the Copts! Even the judges act like an adversary to the Copts to the extent that one of them has sentenced many Copts to death without even proving they are guilty in the crime that its punishment shouldn't exceed 3 years in prison.
Customary reconciliation sessions have replaced the police, prosecution and the judiciary. The victims are forced to waiver their rights during such sessions in order to be safe. Criminals, knowing such end very well, commit their crimes in cold blood over and over.
Additionally, the idea of the Islamic Caliphate is replacing the idea of the nation. Citizenship is totally revoked by the Article II of the Constitution that cite that the Islamic Sharia is the main source of legislation. Egypt in their Islamic project is but one state in their Caliphate. It looks like these new mixed standards of the new governors are taking Egypt back to the seventh century. I wonder, will they be able to reach their goal?
