Moral impurity

Bread, Freedom and Social justice was the slogan of the revolution of January 25. The people demanded their basic needs as human being which sounded fair and square at that time. However, the revolutionists didn’t realize at that time that governors of Egypt have spread false religious appearance. All those regimes since 1952 and until the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood in 2013 used religion to eliminate their political opposition not knowing that this brought criminals as the new leaders of absent minded herds.

Since President Nasser decided to change the destiny of Al-Azhar from a central religious place to an inclusive university that discriminates against non-Muslims by preventing them from enrolling in it. Sadat took this discrimination to the next level by supporting the fanatic groups that killed him at the end.
 
Mubarak regime took over power and the rich, and let the Muslim Brotherhood take over the poor people in the streets. Thus, he supported them and let them grow stronger. 
 
The fake religious face of the Egyptians became a fashion and fanaticism became a role model for the Egyptians. People are keen on listening to loud Quran or Christian hymns, according to one’s religion, and you can’t ask them to lower the sound even in public transportation. Egypt air prevented alcohol on its flights since Sadat. Christians are afraid to discuss such unjustified habits with Muslims to avoid being accused of defamation of Islam! However, this has nothing to do with our dirty streets and ugly dresses of Egyptian women especially on the beach.
 
Let’s go back to the noble youth revolution on January 25, which was brutally raped by the Islamists and was saved by true Egyptians on 30 June 2013. 
Have we established a modern civil state? President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi indeed is working hard to establish a strong and clear infrastructure for the future of Egypt. Al-Sisi took brave decisions to fix the Egyptian economy but he has to fix the Egyptian people first. It only got worse since he called for the renewal of religious discourse. 
 
The government supported a new invention called fatwa stalls in metro stations, which describes the Christians as moral impure. Fixing these religious concepts can only be achieved by closing all religious channels and programs to focus on science, history and art...etc.
Religious should stay at houses of worship and not be preached in colleges along with hatred.
