The interview between President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi and Mr. Osama Kamal gives an impression that it wasn’t meant to be an interview, but rather a speech to teach the people what they need to know. However, it completely ignored the Egyptian foreign policy, except with a question about the relations with the United States. The president gave a wonderful diplomatic answer that you’ll never find an actual answer. The only information that he gave was he will not follow the footsteps of his predecessor Mubarak. In fact, this is the first time the president criticizes the policy of Mubarak and Tantawi openly. The interviewer didn’t ask about the Egyptian and Turkish-Qatari relations, and how it goes! The president showed superb excellence in the understanding of the requirements of global politics as he was answering the peace initiative with Israel and the French initiative as well.
Every day I read the news I must find something about the civil Marriage and how is the church in Egypt refuse anything called Civil Marriage. In fact I find there is no need for that entire headache, if we want to solve this issue in simple way. The problem I see that we are facing in Egypt in general that we are keen so much to issue a law and then never follow any law. I really don’t understand that crowd of news and arguing about something I see it’s very simple to solve even without need to issue a new law. Simply marriage is a choice, whoever wants to marry in the church he has the freedom to marry in the church, whoever wants to marry civil marriage; he also has the freedom to do that.
There is no rank in the Coptic church loftier than monks. Devils fight them with sex and money since they fight against the empire of evil. They may fight them with self-rigorousness and condemnation of the others. A monk is a virgin, hermit and worshiper who left the world in order to live with God and for God. He is considered dead and a funeral is held for him on the ordination in the Coptic rituals proving that he is dead and is only living for the kingdom of God. A monk should know that he will never leave his monastery, even when he dies. These are few rules of many spiritual rules of the Coptic monasticism. This is how the old monk practiced monasticism for centuries. However, corruption hit it and nepotism became part of it! Monasteries are no longer searching for good candidates for monasticism.
Dear readers, I will talk in this article about what was not said by the president Abdul Fattah al-Sisi in his recent television interview with Osama Kamal. The president didn’t say how many prisoners in Egypt, and why they are in prison. Have they been arrested for being among the opposition or because they disagree with police or because they refused the wavier of Tiran and Sanafir to the Saudi Arabia?
The Coptic Orthodox church celebrates the entry of the Holy Family to the land of Egypt on June first. In the past, the celebration was held in Egypt in Nile Cruises accompanied by hymns and praises and Coptic melodies. Therefore, the Coptic Church in Germany headed by Abba Demian decided to hold similar celebration on Weser river because the Coptic monastery in the city of Höxter is located on the river.
In violation of the constitution and law, Copts are displaced on daily basis from their houses, villages and towns as part of collective punishment policy. Justice and law are subject to the will of the mobs and idiots. The innocent people have to leave in order to avoid fire, weapons and threats. We have many documents and videos for such attacks. They start by calls of fanatics to attack the infidels and then the actual attacks that may include looting, fire and destruction for houses of the Copts. Those who are displaced can’t defend their rights after they were targeted based on their religion. However, those who lead the attacks were supposed to take care of the Copts in Egypt.
I do love Arts, yes all arts, do not ask which arts or how and when you loved them, you need to be me to understand! But bare with me I'll try to explain. I'm from a generation that had only Radio and Movie theaters plus Theaters; As my father was not from the royal family neither had connections to them, his financial resources were very limited, he could not afford going to the Opera as often as they change their show, but he did manage to let us see and hear opera Aida or weekly movies like Gone with the wind, and this helped my imagination to understand what it was a step mother or better say a bad step mother, as I did see and meet step mothers that treated their step kids with humanity kindness and affection you might not see it in REAL MOTHERS! But this is not the point, but the point was that thanks to the limited arts I've got the chance to see I could understand and imagine what it was singing, dancing, acting and all other sorts of ARTS!
In a previous article, I talked about the first real communication between the Muslim Brotherhood and the US administration in 1953 at a meeting that took place between President Dwight Eisenhower and leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Said Ramadan, who married daughter of Hassan al-Banna, the founder of the Muslim Brotherhood and became prominent agent of the CIA after reciving hight-level training. in the meeting they agreed that they both belive in God and should fight Communism toghether. The zionist entity convinced the American adminstration that the Muslim Brotherhood will put an end to Communism. The Brotherhood started a new era as a tool of Zionism in the world.
While the United States now is experiencing wave of violence, the presidential elections is also considered one of the big event that is happening nowadays in US. Now we can see very clear that Hilary Clinton will be the official candidate for the Democratic Party while we can see also clear that trump will be the official candidate for the Republic party. From Reading and following the news for both candidate I can say that while Trump try to put himself as a defender for the US values especially when its related to Gay rights or freedom of speech and attacking the extremists Muslims, we can see clearly that Hilary Clinton trying to be moderate and to be shown as not fanatic or racist.
Those who burned looted and destroyed seven Coptic homes in the village of Karm in Minya and stripped an old Coptic woman off were actually exposed along with their resist society. The old lady reported police after the attack, but the police officer was corrupted and resist as well, and refused to make a proper police statement. Therefore, the old lady decided to go to the church in order to complain after police disappointed her. In fact, the state pushes the Copts to resort to the church and then complain that church interferes in all Coptic matters. This time, Abba Makaroius was ready to protect his congregation after they were humiliated by stripping the old lady off. He refused the shameful customary reconciliation sessions and called to apply the law and punish the oppressors. Everybody decided to call the Copts liars, and only apologize of the president prevented them from denying the incident at all.
Everybody participated in converting rumors about a romantic relationship between a Coptic man and a Muslim woman into sectarian strife should be punished. Every official whose negligence led to such calamity including the governor and all officials. This village became an example for dishonor among the Egyptian villages. Therefore, we should accept no customary reconciliation sessions in that accident.
What happened in Karm villlage in Minya was not a quarrel between two parties that a third party should intervene and reconcile them. It was a major crime against innocent citizens where criminals offended them and distorted their reputation and dignity. An old lady was stripped off in the streets and trailed along on the ground while they were beating her severely. Moreover, innocent people lost their houses after criminals looted them and set them on fire. Such crimes leave no place to hold such customary reconciliation sessions where the weak party is forced to give up his rights in order to live in peace.
The Pharaohs started their civilization there in upper Egypt well known between Egyptians as Sa-i-d and this is the origin not only Egypt but ALL civilizations! 5000 prehistoric BC civilization Egyptians Building temples and tombs and invaders try to take it over but always after some time long or short Egyptians stand up to free their stolen civilization! God the creator of this world knows the future, way before hand he knew he would bless Egypt and Egyptians he -God- saw their creativity and love of peace that is why he gave them the heart of this world! This is the origin of all civilization from upper Egypt the Pharaohs spread to the north towards Mediterranean Sea, in terms of geography this northern part of Egypt is not as high as upper Egypt and the hight is compared to the sea level -when you are higher than the sea by 1 meter this means you will not be flooded by the sea- obviously when you are in a mountain you are way safer from sea floods!
In the news few days ago there was a Spanish Tomato festival which a lot of people throw the tomato in the street trying to get the red color from the Tomato. At the same time there was news about how Nigerians suffer from shortage of Tomato because of some insects killed 80 % of the Tomato crop.
After a Coptic old woman was stripped off in the streets as punishment for her son after rumors about a romantic relationship between him and a Muslim girl, I searched the internet to find out that similar accidents occur in several parts of the world including an one accident in Uttar Pradesh, India on April 26, 2016. The story said that a 60-year-old woman was stripped and tortured in a village in Uttar Pradesh on Monday after her son allegedly eloped with a girl, police said. The woman's face was blackened and chilli powder was thrown on her private parts as "punishment", they said. Senior police officer Akhilesh Chaurasia said the woman was attacked by the family members of the girl with whom her son had allegedly run away on Sunday.
I would like to congratulate His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, Pope of Alexandria and Patriarch of Saint St. Mark See, and his Eminence Abba Moussa, Bishop of Youth, for celebrating the 36th anniversary of its inception and the enthronement of Abba Moussa in 1980 by his Holiness Pope Shenouda III. There was no diocese in the Diaspora and there were only few dioceses in Egypt. HG Bishop Moussa worked hard to develop this bishopric to become very strong and so beautiful. Pope Shenouda said that a church without young people has no future. Bishop Moussa ordained some priests to keep pace with the increasing ministry. He established the Deaconess Phoebe House in 1981 to train and graduate some consecrated deaconesses according to the regulation of consecration set by the Holy Synod to help in the women service sector.
Mina Thabet is a human rights researcher and activist, but he can’t be a terrorist. He was announced terrorist for hindering the work of the president by opposing him! Yet, he hasn’t broken into the presidential palace or attacked the presidential car. Police arrested him with picture of St. Mary and an old agenda in his possession! He is a researcher that we don’t know what he is searching for. However, being a researcher in our country proves you are a terrorist. Whether you are searching for truth or security you should be a terrorist in the eyes of police. The truth is painful for they think security is useless if not for the regime.
I was delighted to hear the following statement of His Eminence Bishop Rafael, secretary of the Holy Synod. He said: “Orthodox teaching is against occult. Please make sure before spreading any news. Such obsession does not glorify God and doesn’t benefit our faith. On the contrary, it gives a negative impression about the Orthodox faith. The Holy Fathers handed us over dignified, practical and respectable faith. Miracles and revelations are not common events, but the real miracles in our faith are the Holy Bible, the Eucharist, piety and love of God and people in addition to the practice of virtue.
We all know and it is documented that MI6 Created Muslim Brotherhood -MB for short- using Hassan El Banna who was given money from the Income of Suez Canal to create MB a group under-covered in Islamic Religion so that no body would object its creation no security threats from some religious principals or their interpretation! MI6 created MB for one unique purpose that was to STOP KING FAROUK FROM TURNING TO THE GERMAN CAMP SEEKING FREEDOM FROM BRITISH EMPIRE UPON WWII! Hassan El Banna true mission was not religious but political he had to find and ignite opposition to the ruling system that was King Farouk and his allies! Egypt was a very important base for the British Empire; It was the shortest path to another colony (India) using the Suez Canal; A French innovation stolen by Britain that occupied Egypt since 1882! Egypt was the main provider of Sugar Cane and Cotton and other commodities no way to let them go in a bad instance of the empire facing a fierce enemy Hitler! Enough he -Hitler- burnt London with his advance aviation and asses fighters! No way to allow another victory in the Second Battle of El Alamein ( 23 October - 11 November 1942 )!
For the beginning of my article, I want to offer my condolence to the families of the victims of the Egyptian airplane that fell in the Mediterranean sea. Our heart and prayers with the families and I ask God to have mercy on them and give them patience and peace in the hard times they passed by. We always have been taught that one of the main media ethics is not attack any person can't defend himself , on contrary, CNN adopted an opposite direction of what it should be followed. When CNN release or broadcast news that claim that the pilot of the Egyptian Airplane commit suicide, I have nothing to describe that claims except with this sentence " This is the rudeness shape of the media".
