In 1902 Tanios Abdu presented the first translation in Egypt for Hamlet, Shakespeare's longest play, which was presented on the stage in 1897. He found out that the audience have never liked its end when Hamlet died. Tanios then decided to change the end and let Hamlet live.
Mungo Park, the famous 18th century Scottish explorer, had few good things to say about the Muslims he encountered on his journeys through the Sahara. He spoke of the Moors as “a people who study mischief as a science and exult in the miseries and misfortunes of their fellow creatures.” “Treacherous,” “malevolent,” “ferocious” and “fanatical” were some of the adjectives he reserved for the Muslims of North Africa’s great desert, that “fearful void.”
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.
MB rule in Egypt is such a great loss, and continual distress as well as suffering. I have three thoughts about the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. First, about building churches: Abba Markos, bishop of Shubra al-Khaimah said, commenting on attacking St. Macarius Church by Salafis, that there are no churches built during Morsy's presidency.
Rest in Peace my father was a researcher in the ministry of agriculture his main researches were on INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT sometime around 1956 Locust coming from Arabia Saudi Kingdom attacked Egyptian fields and as a top researcher he was sent to fight this unexpected danger!
All we hear nowadays is about participating or boycotting the controversial parliamentary elections. The Muslim Brotherhood’s vendetta to capture the entire country is now clear. It is also clear that they do not care about what’s in the country’s best interests.
In mid-1861, Saeed Pasha, the ruler of Egypt, issued a Sovereign Decree to all police chiefs replacing the penalty of beating with imprisonment. Accordingly, regulations were issued stating that since “penalties in the form of beatings of some criminals are intended to once and for all discipline those who commit crimes and sins, and serve as a deterrence to others, while keeping in mind effect without harm, we have decided to replace the penalty of beating with the penalty of imprisonment.”
Many people in Egypt call to boycott the upcoming parliamentary elections. However, the Muslim Brotherhood kept us busy denouncing holding the elections during certain Christian feasts. All of a sudden, the MB called for international monitoring for the elections, after they have refused it for years. Do you know what's happening?
It's said here in Egypt that the Egyptian children are of the smartest children all over the world, but not for so long. As he or she goes to school, he is turned into a device to save the information just to recall it in exams, as this is the only way to get high grades. It doesn't matter if they forget all information after the exams, and most probably they do!
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.
I've been always dreaming of applying democracy in Egypt, as I was never satisfied with the amount of democracy achieved after the revolution of 1952, and I believed that political parties could do something to develop the political scene against the ridiculous Nazi ideas of that time.
One of my facebook friends posted this in his status and I decided to join the cause Please my friends...send this to all media and organizations in the world: I am an Egyptian citizen... I am accusing the U.S. administration that they have supported terrorists to rule Egypt and helped them in murdering the Egyptian people and occupying the land of Egypt by force of arms through fraud elections.
In the course of war, the military could resort to a tactic known as "repositioning" or "redeployment". The Egyptian army is now engaged in a political redeployment, a key feature of which is keeping a distance from the presidency. At the same time, the military establishment is projecting itself in a new light as being above all sides to the current political struggle.
What happened in Tunisia lately with the assassination of Shokry Bal Aeid is by no means similar of what is happening in Egypt. Egypt has taken part in assassination far before Tunisia. The killing of Mohammed Guindi, the stripping of a person in front of the presidential palace, and the taking away of women’s rights, is assassination! Furthermore, those who believe in the Muslim Brotherhood taking power and being a responsible government are ignorant.
Muslims in Ain Shams, Cairo, have accepted that a church may be built in their neighborhood on one condition: It should have no cross on it. This was the same condition made by the Salafists in many other places like Soul and Ayyat: No crosses!
Few weeks later, I will celebrate my thirty birthday. I'm so happy to celebrate it, and get rid of many bad experiences during the last two years that really had bad effects on me.
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.
The Muslim Brotherhood group has called for a demonstration against violence last Friday in front of Cairo University. This came after most political forces have agreed to the anti-violence document of Al-Azhar, after which Dr. el-Baradie said he was optimistic. However, the document talks in general about violence denouncement, which of course everybody denounces.
A while ago I tried to analyse the confusion in the streets, and as the turmoil in Egypt is still on for extended weeks without a radical solution mayhem still going to God only knows where and for how long.
Many times did president Morsy as well as the Muslim Brotherhood group talk about conspiracies against the president and the state of Egypt, However, they never expose such conspiracies or their resources for security reasons. Later, many people questioned the relationship between such resources and the presidency.
Mrs. Naglaa Morsy, the first lady of Egypt, has taken a vacation in Taba, which shouldn't be something strange. She, as a human being, has the right to relax and enjoy herself. Furthermore, she has the right to spend as much as she wants, as long as she spends from her own money, and stay away from our tax money.
