It’s known that Egyptian people prefer to pay alms and donations during the holy month of Ramadan. This is the season of sweets, banquets, TV series and donation advertisement in Egypt. Since the beginning of the holy month, we have been watching more than 20 charity organizations and hospitals. All of them are asking the viewers to donate for them as they are in bad need for such donations. However, those ads cost millions of Pounds that should have been paid for the needy.
The vast majority of Coptic internet users in Egypt rose up against the decision of Anba Bishoy, Bishop of Damietta and Kafr El-Sheikh, who ordered women to wear decent clothing and to avoid using makeup when attending church to partake of the communion. In the beginning, I refused the decision like many people did. However, I changed my mind after thinking for a while. First, the language of the decision doesn’t have any form of contempt or disdain for women, but it reminds them
In a memorable day in the modern history of Egypt, Field Marshal Abdel Fattah al-Sisi took the oath of office on Saturday to become Egypt's first freely elected President and its first head of state. "I swear by the Almighty God to sincerely preserve the republican order and to respect the constitution and law, and completely care for the people's interest" is the oath of office taken by all senior officials of the state.
First I owe you all an apology I interrupted my series of History to wish Egyptians and the rest of the world a happy feast at the end of the holly month Ramadan it is a Muslim occasion and I’m not Muslim, but we are all Egyptians and most important HUMANS! As a human I share sorrows and happiness with humans happy for their happiness and upset for their miseries this is how I interpret human rights! I had a message to sent to my co-citizens and the rest of the world but due to lots of obstacles on top of them power problems - and no power = no internet therefore I can not even send my semi finished article- therefore I just got the time to send two words wishing people a happy feast!
The foreign spokesman for the United States claimed that Egypt used American military aid to suppress the demonstrators. Once again, the United States wants portray the same tone it had used for Iraq, Syria and Libya. The United States wants to destroy the Egyptian army, or at least that’s what it seems like. In my opinion, America is acting in such a way that makes me feel as though they doesn’t want any strong army presence in the Middle East.
If great speeches and much talk really count, the Arab nation would have been the most powerful all over the world. Unfortunately, we talk much, but work less. Our thinking has deteriorated and our minds are far from open. There are groups of intellectual Tatars invading our minds trading on Islam. However, we surrender to them and support them. Those groups are clearly groups of political Islam.
I’ve never misunderstood a person or entity as I did with the United States of America, which I considered until the revolution of June 30 a glorious patron of principles, values, human rights, justice and equality in the world. Thus, I used to consider her my second homeland after Egypt.However, after the revolution of June 30, America revealed its face to appear as the Great Satan and the official sponsor of terrorism in the world. It proved to be a country with no principles or values. It tries really hard to restore the terrorist group of the Muslim Brotherhood to rule Egypt ignoring its violence and more than 60 churches and hundreds of governmental agencies, police departments and private property after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins.
I sincerely wish to congratulate the Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, but I can’t celebrate and be glad when thousands of Egyptian homes have widows and orphans and thousands of wounded. Furthermore, Egypt’s economy has been suffering for years.
No doubt that what Daash is doing in Iraq and Syria are acts of hateful sectarianism and terrorism. Yet, they should be taken as example of what similar organizations may do in other countries. It’s known that they aim to restore the Islamic caliphate, but they should realize the costs of the wars now are completely different from the wars 1400 years ago. In the past, they only used swords and spears, and ate what they found in the way. But now the weapons are so expensive, and the richest countries can’t afford the cost of the wars for long. Additionally, the general mobilization of armies costs billions of dollars just to afford food and drink. Moreover, and the nature of the wars currently makes the industrialized countries of the weapon are getting the real booty, but the warriors themselves do not get anything.
This article will be available on May 26th. The first day of presidential election most likely will read it afar you had voted or boycotted presidential elections but there would be a second chance the following day the very LAST DAY! I’m not writing this to tell you what to do or advise you to vote for a specific candidate this is against all human laws of freedom of opinion, freedom of choice, and above all your own personal freedom, however I see it necessary to tell Boycotters a few facts before too late. I understand, a lot of today’s youth and young people have never seen true happiness or enjoyed a really happy moment, all their miseries made them loose faith in everything and everyone and bottom line they will trust no candidate to alter their miseries into happiness so they decided to BOYCOT!
Everyday the situation becomes clear that the plan is to evacuate the Middle East from Christians. in 2003 and also after eleventh of September 2001, the ex-president George Bush delcared war against Iraq and said that this war will be the key to democracy in the Middle East. And at this time, I wrote many articles against the war in Iraq, where I witnessed many writers supporting this war.
Mosul is a historical city located in northern Iraq and dates back to nearly six centuries before Christ. It received Islam in 637. About 25.000 Christians lived in Mosul before most of them were displaced during the last few years. Christians in Iraq have suffered from persecution from time to time, but Daash decided to displace them or put an end to their lives. For the first time in its history, now the city has no Christians as they fled to neighboring cities such as Hook and Erbil, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. They left behind the ancient churches and their dear homes and properties.
One year has passed since the revolution of June 30 has erupted. This revolution has restored the great history of Egypt away from the terrorist groups and takfirists. Had it not for the revolution of June 30, I myself would have been behind bars as fanatic lawyers have accused me of inciting sectarian strife and disturbing public order, which were to send me to prison under the former fanatic regime. The great revolution had great impact on Egypt and will bring her back to its former position among the nations under the presidency of Abdul Fatah al-Sisi who proves day after day he’s one of the greatest leaders of Egypt.
This is the first outcome of the suspicious conference in Oman. Iraq is witnessing ethnic cleansing as Christians are currently being displaced after the Shiites. Yet, the whole world is holding its peace. Other events are drawing the attention of the whole world like the Malaysian plane and attacking Gaza. People are watching and hoping for bright future is becoming unlikely.
With the increasing religious awareness that came with the overthrown of the Muslim Brotherhood in July 3rd, 2014, it was proven that different Islamic movement like the Muslim Brotherhood, the Salafis and the Takfirists are but different arms of the same ideology and group. All of them aim to establish the Islamic caliphate.
Everyday the Muslim Brotherhood commits a lot of crimes. While I was thinking about all of these crimes I wanted to ask them this question, "Are you against Sisi, or against Egypt? Do you want to destroy Egypt or destroy Sisi?"
As I continue reading History, influenced with a Ramadan Soap Best Friends or precisely world to word translation “Life Friend” pointing to R.I.P. both Nasser and his best mate Amer! I was too young but I still recall some vital events in this period, I recall after the famous 6 hours war on Monday 5th. June 1967, Nasser announcing our defeat on the following Friday 9 June 1967, and stepping down from the presidency sit! I recall how the people of Egypt, rejected the defeat, and decided to stand up with their all time national hero Jamal Abdul Nasser, asking him to stay president and withdraw his resignation! R.I.P. Sadat, and the then National Assembly which become temporarily in power while no president with Nasser’s resignation in effect, they officially requested from Nasser to remain in power as per people demand who come waves and waves in marches from the National Assembly headquarters on Kasr El Eni street really close to where I used to live at the corner of that street with El Tahrir Street, over viewing the famous Tahrir Square which made me see and live many events life upon their happening!
Has any one thought about mental examination for elements of the Muslim Brotherhood arrested in demonstrations or acts of sabotage. I believe they may suffer from some mental disorder. You man not find my proposal that weird if you know that members of the Muslim Brotherhood in Delga demanded last week to return the ousted president Mohamed Morsy to power. Don't they know that he is charged with betrayal? Furthermore, do they ask al-Sisi to return Morsy to power after he had removed him and became the newly elected president.
Congratulations to all Egyptians on Egypt's return after being kidnapped for three years. Those years were full of bitterness, blood, remorse, despair and hope. Some may ask: what does this title have to do such this intro? Well, after a publication has spread all over Egypt on which it’s written: “Did you pray today at the Prophet Mohamed?” With all due respect for our Muslim fellows and their believes, we should stay alert to any attempts to represent the Muslim Brotherhood who trade on religion to achieve their goals. They only changed the words to stay hidden. Soon, they may establish an assembly to start over.
Launching rockets by terrorists from Sinai against the Israeli city of Eilat is nothing but a clear message and warning to all Egyptians that Sinai is still out of control and terrorists of al-Qaeda, Hamas and Daash are having very nice time out there.
Out of sympathy, the ousted president Mohamed Morsy cried out at his prison, At your service Gaza. He remembers when he was in power and was able to bring the fighting parties together to negotiating table. He was able then to convince Hamas to recognize their acts against Israel is hostile acts, not acts of resistance. He was able to reach armistice between his fighting friends. Thus, he wishes to be in power today to play the same game once again.
