I would like to introduce another example of a successful Egyptian woman. She is Hoda Qutb who was born in Egypt on August 9, 1964 and excelled in the Diaspora. Hoda is a broadcast journalist, television personality, and author. She is a main co-anchor of the NBC News morning show Today, and co-host of its entertainment-focused fourth hour.

We saw that young people were the fuel of the Arab Spring revolutions including the revolutions of January 25 and June 30. They indeed saved Egypt from the tyranny and corruption of the Mubarak regime and its allies and their acquisition of the Egyptian economy and the domination of businessmen who were members of the National Party over all companies and factories. They led the sale and privatization of the public sector. Those young people made a great mistake by leavening the Muslim Brotherhood dominate the revolution until they managed to dominate the Egyptian state and turn it into an Islamic Caliphate. Moreover, this mistake was repeated with the current president as the youth left the political businessmen and hypocrites to take over and almost turned the current president into a dictator.

No to demolish the antiquarian church of St. Mary in Luxor since it stands out there for more than 100 years. There must be a way to avoid its demolition even though it is next to the antiquarian way of the rams. Part of the church was demolished before the revolution of January 25 provided that the rest of the church won t be demolished. I believe the officials don t realize what is going on around them and how serious effect could it has on the Egyptians who has offered their homeland a lot for the sake of Egypt. We believe that the road was moved 11 meters to tough the church building leading to its demolition.

Anyone reading the news right now would perhaps be feeling as though we are close to having a third World War at the moment between Russia, Iran, and North Korea allying against the majority of Western countries. Even Arab countries could get involved, such as Saudi Arabia. The question on my mind is regarding Syria. Is Syria so important that it could cause a third World War? If it’s natural gas that is important, especially to Russia, then whoever will control Syria, will also be controlling any gas going in/out of Europe

I got this link from a friend and it was full of inspirations. It was a video by former US president Barak Obama talking about Obama Foundation Scholars Program for Emerging Leaders from Around the World. The program offers Master of Arts degree at Harris School of Public Policy. Moreover, the Obama Foundation-led activities will give leaders the tools and training to make a positive impact in their communities.

The love of our crucified God Jesus Christ makes him transcend our weaknesses like his disciples at the time of his crucifixion as well as those who crucified him. His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, in his article The Hour of the Cross, the Hour of Love , explained to us many of the pictures of God s love for man at the time of his death on the cross.

The resurrection of Jesus Christ was the greatest event, which shook the Jews, thus they tried to resist it by all means. They described it as the last misguidance which was stronger than the initial misguidance, which is Christ s preaching. The resurrection of Jesus from the dead was unique and never heard of before. Throughout his life Jesus preached resurrection when he said to them, “The Son of Man must suffer many things, and be rejected by the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised the third day.” (Luke 9:22). He came out of the Virgin Mary and her virginity was sealed, and he came out of the tomb while it was closed. Moreover, he met the disciples when the doors were shut when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”

After over 2000 years from the time that Jesus came to our world, we still find groups that deny His birth and other groups denying His resurrection and others even denying that He came to our world. This is, in fact, the acts of the devil who is always putting doubts and denial in peoples hearts to prevent them from enjoying this great event. As the Bible said, if there is no resurrection, then there is no hope, and that s what the devil wants to put inside each one of us: to become hopeless and confused until the time comes when we are not ready and to hear the voice of the Lord saying, “I do not know you.”

As the Coptic Orthodox Church is celebrating the Holy Week reaching Easter on Sunday, many people wonder why the church is late celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ since the Catholic Church usually celebrate Easter 13 days earlier. There are mainly two reasons behind such difference. The first reason is the calendar since the Christian Orthodox Church continues to follow the Julian calendar when calculating the date of Easter, while the rest of Christianity uses the Gregorian calendar and the difference comes here since the Julian calendar is 13 days behind the Gregorian.

The Holy Bible is the best way to satisfy the needs of contemporary human beings, especially the need to have a reference in all aspects of our life. This was mentioned by HG Bishop Moses, the Bishop of Youth, in his article faith in God and the human mind . He talked about such reference offered by the Bible. People were religious in the era of agriculture as they believed in God.

The Arab women deserve to be the subject of this article though they are minimized and marginalized in the Middle East in general. Today, Arab women compete with men in the field of courage. An Iraqi and a Mauritanian women won the Courage Award, announced every year by the US State Department. The US State Department reported that 10 women won the 2018 Women s Courage Award, among them Aliia Khalaf Saleh, known as Um Qusay, and the Mauritanian Maalouma Said Bint Bilal.

As if they see it for the first time, they tried to start a battle without land or warriors. They wanted to drag us into one of the battles of the fourth generation wars to disrupt the elections, which divided them into two parts: The first when they threatened to target the election committees, but the Egyptians were not intimidated and went to the polls to celebrate. During the elections, they gave figures that were not true about the percentages of participation at the presidential ballot, although the national electoral body didn t announce any figures during the voting process. They also wanted to drag us to side battles in order to spoil the joy of the elections, especially for the great women of Egypt, who came out to celebrate at the ballot boxes. Those women danced to express their happiness at the loss of those who wanted to violate their bodies from the radical terrorist groups and wanted to keep them in the house, and wanted their bodies to be only a pot of lust in violation of all religions.

The Egyptian response to the Sudanese accusations and claims that Halaib and Shalatin belong to the Sudan came very powerful and different. This time, the respond was away from army or diplomacy as it came through investment. The natural plants in this area are unique and there is a good opportunity to use it for export. Halaib and Shalatin have several medical and aromatic plants that can be exported and help the Egyptian economy. I salute those who think out of the box and face such political accusations by investment for the good of our nation. Investments are indeed more profitable than wars and even diplomacy.

After the end of the Presidential Election in Egypt, there is one title we can describe this election with, “Lack of transparency.” One thing everyone notices in this election is how all media attempted to show numbers that support its opinion toward the regime and especially toward President Al Sisi, while not supporting the truth. There is one side, the Muslim Brotherhood who are well known to be against Sisi and his regime. They try to show that the votes were very weak and that only a few Egyptians went to vote in this election.

In April 2013, the Cathedral of St. Mark in Abbasiya was attacked and 3 Copts were killed and 84 were injured. The perpetrators were likely searching for weapons in the church or Coptic women who have converted into Islam and are still trapped in the church according to many stories spread by fanatics. They were likely searching for a reason to justify their attacks on Christian houses and churches. Ever since, the fascist regime was collapsing and this attack was a step towards overthrowing the regime of the Muslim Brotherhood. During the transitional period from July 2013 to June 2014, Copts were subject to many sectarian attacks as a price to pay by the Copts for supporting President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi, and they are still supporting him.

As there is a temporary homeland and a permanent heavenly home, we must pass the first faithfully until we reach the eternal one. Thus, Pope was not wrong when he said that the homeland comes before the church as it is a written commandment to give what belongs to Caesar to Caesar. The Islamists commit a big mistake when they underestimate the homeland and consider their religion a homeland. This can t happen as the homeland is the place where we are born, educated, work, inhabit and die. Yet, religion can t do this to us to be considered a homeland. Giving what belongs to Caesar to Caesar has a deep philosophy as it advocates the civil state and distinguish between the city of God and the earthly city.

I know that in this article I defend an issue that has a big possibility of loss as speaking about America often provokes the anger of some people who advocate America s hatred by all means. However, my goal here is not to change their minds or to defend America. Yet, for me it is a question of principle, conscience and acknowledgement of favor of this great country where I lived for about 50 years. Saying this does not mean I think America is infallible. The perfection belongs only to God and there is no virtuous city on earth. What ensures that no deviation happens is the state of law, which is applied in America. All citizens are subject to the rule of law, including the President. I witnessed an American President who lost his office because he covered a group of his men spying on the other party. They were convicted and sentenced to prison.

Our age is the age of communication .The right communication comes out from the right information . The right way of information needs hard work and critical insight inside the continuous movement of the cultural and political life of people coming from different social and religious coaches but are invited to live together . I believe that the title CU is somewhat misleading ! The site is occupied with all Egyptians . We have to say that the original greek meaning of the term (Coptic ) is ( Egyptian ). So The Coptic United is , in fact , Egyptians United . That is what exists all over the publications , debates , commentaries , reports of a well learned reporters all over the country , really.

The Egyptian presidential elections have started, which I call the most important event currently in Egypt. The importance of this event also comes from the strategic importance of Egypt in the region and its great history and civilization. Such elections reflect the civilization of the Egyptian people which was seen as well in the previous elections. Therefore, all Egyptians should continue their efforts to change their future by participation in the elections which is their right as well as their national duty.
