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".

Many Egyptians and Arab think that the Muslim Brotherhood is going to suffer after Obama leaves the White House. In fact, this is not true as it contradicts with the reality of the United States of America and its policies. Zionism that controls life in America planted agents in all decision-making positions in order to please the American Zionist lobby. American Israel Public Affairs Committee, known as AIPAC is one of the most powerful Zionist institutions in the US administration. It controls the selection of presidents and members of both houses of Congress and Senate and state governors. It also develops plans and strategy of the United States of America. Such organization is supported by a huge Zionist organization that serves as the executive arm of those policies and schemes across America and the world, namely: Conference of Presidents of major American Organizations.

He Arab history has been full of innovators, philosophers and poets who enriched our lives with their artworks and glory. They sacrificed their lives in order to make us happy. Thus, they deserve to be remembered always by us. Poets Motanaby, Akhtal, Shawky, Gobran, Abi Nawas, Zidan, Timor, George Naguib Khalil and many others have filled our lives with their innovation, but we don’t remember them or honor them. Our streets are full of meaningless numbers, but we don’t call their names on them.

Dr. Mufid Shehab was known for being part of the Mubarak regime, and was investigated after the overthrown of Mubarak, but was found not guilty. He disappeared for years, but returned after the crisis of Tiran and Sanafir to assure that the two islands belong to the Saudi Arabia. Several Egyptians couldn’t accept this knowing that Egypt lost many soldiers to liberate the two islands. They found PhD thesis supervised by dr. Shihab assuring that the two islands are Egyptian.

Commenting on the conflict between police and the people in Ashi village in Luxor I said that we destroy our country with our own hands. Such destruction will put an end to Egypt by the Egyptians. This became crystal clear in all aspects of our life. Let me criticize our exaggeration in worshipping while we don’t respect it. We don’t love one another and disrespect our homeland. Our morals were known among the nations, but now we seek deviation and hatred. We even forgot about our civilization and heritage.

A close by place to our house blow up, I could hear the sound and see the fire far away from our house on the 4th floor, it was the second major disaster I witness as a child of six to sever years old and had a mark in my memories. Without much details I recall my mother's reaction. She was wandering if this was another burning of Cairo! Cairo had been burning twice before first one was before my birth; It was Hassan El-Banna plot against the Egyptian Jews in Cairo, burning the Jews Businesses and houses of residences to push them away and made them feel they are not welcomed in Egypt! Those carefully chosen victims their only crime was they had the same religion like the ones invaded Palestine!

When you live or read about how other society live, you will find out that Egypt has too much in many things and that from my view make everything not good and needs a lot of efforts by working not only by talking. For example, Egypt has too many accidents to that extent every day you will find a family sad on their lost. Back to the simple solution for that problem is the people themselves. Law is not only enough to keep any nation safe. We need the culture of the people be different and care so much about others than rushing to catch a football game and killing many.

Those who didn’t care for the big fire at the Hall of the Good Shepherd in Shubra corridor and many other places in Egypt will not care as well for the big fire at Alroiei area. I tell you that they caused the fire by their stupidity and negligence. We have seen big fire in Dubai at the New Year's Eve, but there were no human casualties and very limited losses comparing to the fire. They have advanced fire extinguishing systems and were ready to extinguish the fire as if they were expecting it.

After watching a TV talk show in which Osama Kamal hosted the chief of Journalists Syndicate to talk about the current crisis, I discovered that the chief and many journalists suffer from a disease called national AIDS. The symptoms of this disease are arrogance, lying, exaggeration and not caring for the nation. People with this disease only accept their points of view and despise the others. They follow a plan to divide the Egyptian society that the president warned against several times. This plan includes destroying the Egyptian police. The fake story of storming the Journalists Syndicate was denied by security of the syndicate who testified that they opened the doors before police to arrest the wanted people hiding inside the building. It only took five minutes to arrest them and left in peace. It’s worth mentioning that national security is much more important than privileges and immunities. In 1979, Saudi security forces stormed the Grand Mosque to put an end to Iranian terrorism in the Grand Mosque in Mecca. This was accepted by Muslims all over the world.

I was asked to write an article for this new section in our website under the title of "Smile of Hope". It aims to spread both smiles and hope among our readers. I was thinking what to write among all the negative issues that faces us. I decided to search for positive things and train my eyes to see them once again. I found many examples in the subway where you can find many rich stories. I saw an old woman who looks tired but enjoys a wonderful smile, especially with the handicapped child with her. People tried to help her and a doctor with us asked her about her daughter. She thanked God before she tells the story of her children that suffer from this disease that kills them once they turn twenty years old. She already lost three children and only this girl remains.

Some people may think that the crisis of the Egyptian Journalists Syndicate will make the people forget about the crisis of the two Egyptian islands, Tiran and Sanafir, that were sold to the Saudi Arabia. The crisis of Journalists Syndicate came due to the lack of freedom of speech and violations to it in Egypt. This happens with claims to enforce of the law, but this law is simply ignored every now and then like when the son of Egyptian writer Hassanin Heikal came to Egypt in order to attend his father's funeral, and then he traveled back without being arrested though his name is on the travel ban list. TV presenter Ahmed Moussa was wanted and was found guilty by court and traveled outside Egypt on the presidential plane. Mortada Mansour was also wanted and police couldn’t break into his apartment to arrest him. Our law is only applied on the poor, but the great thieves are untouchable.
