In my last article I spoke about the parliamentary elections. I had mentioned that ex NDP members and the Al-Nour party will mostly compose the next parliament. Today, however, I want to talk about the position of the Copts in the next parliamentary elections. I believe that after 2 revolutions, nothing has changed regarding the Copts. Meaning, these 2 revolutions have not resulted in a push for Egyptians to vote for a Coptic man rather than a Muslim. You may be curious and ask me why I am pessimistic about the future of the Copts in parliament.

The Egyptian idiom says: "chose the neighbor before the house". President Abdul Fatah al-Sisi told President Mahmoud Abbas Abu Mazen that the PLO should be responsible for the Gaza Strip, because the current situation is not pleasing at all to Egypt. The current neighbor is taking advantage from the tunnels, and is indeed a traitor to the Arab cause. The Sudan belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood, but Egypt supports Libya in order to restore Libya! Concerning the Palestinian neighbor, Egypt knows that legitimacy is indeed with Abu Mazen and the PLO. In this situation, the house can’t be changed, but the neighbor can be.

On October 6, 1981, former President Sadat was assassinated in the memory of the victory of October 1973. Anwar Sadat is indeed one of the most controversial presidents in Egypt. His life and death involved a great deal of ambiguity and contradiction. His assassination operation was very successful that you may think international organizations were behind his death. His policies moved Egypt from socialism to capitalism. He also moved Egypt from subordination of the Soviet Union to the absolute loyalty to America.

The current Russian-Iranian-Syrian-Iraqi alliance aims not only to fight IS in Iraq and Syria, but also to push it towards the border of the Saudi Arabia and supporting it against the Saudi Kingdom. Russia has never forgot what Saudi Arabia did in Afghanistan in the reigns of Kings Khaled and Fahd when the Saudi Arabia offered the jihadists advanced weapons including "stinger" and shipped terrorists from all over the world to fight the Red Army. Those jihadists joined armies of ISIS later.

For the second time in less than four months, Salafis decided to embarrass President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi before the whole world by attacking the Copts. This came few hours before his visit to the US. They attacked Copts of Ameriya in Alexandria at the time Copts in America are getting prepared for the visit of the president and to support him during his speech to the UN. This way, they gave the answer for potential questions about supporting the Salafis by the president and his intention not to dissolve religious based parties.

When I was 10 years old I stepped my first ever time in to a school; do not judge me so fast, I was a child with special needs, and thanks God, he offered my a couple of parents who provided me those special needs! As a child I had a motion disability having suffered the well known disease (Polio). Who’s fault it was getting the disease in spite I was vaccinated on time, this is not my subject, bottom line is I was not -and still- able to walk like normal people, and once again thanks to my parents attention, I was not left paralysed on a bed till death, but they took upon themselves full responsibility to treat me and provide me with all special needs a paralysed child might need including my education and learning. Because when I was a child like any child my powers were limited add to it my paralysis (90-95% of my muscles were paralysed) I would never be able to walk with or without any walking aids, all walking aids need a lot of personal powers like the power to stand on your own -or artificial legs- using walking sticks still needs lot of power in your arms to support your body, and even with the necessary power you still need lots of training to become stronger, and again I say to R.I.P. My Mother thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the troubles you had being my trainer, my therapist on top of your duties as a mother of 3 children and a house wife. This does no mean that R.I.P my father did not help or remained idle, enough the financial and physical troubles he had taking me as a less than 2 years old paralysed child to Paris to get some real Medical attention when Egyptian doctors failed to provide true attention due to ignorance or incompetent!

While we are close to the parliament elections, we need to shed light on the importance of this upcoming election. There is no doubt that the ex-members of the NDP will try to get back into the political life. Also, we should confess that the businessmen will also try to be involved in this election at least to protect their interest in the next coming years.

Wahhabi countries called Israel "the Zionist state" and called the western countries "infidels". It’s known that Wahhabism and Zionism are different, but they united against Christianity. Christ was crucified in Israel and Christians are cursed on daily basis in Wahhabi countries in addition to punishing those who perform Christian prayers on its land.

We, the Egyptians, should respect disagreements and never let them lead them to hatred and accusing one another. I don’t agree with the president who said that the constitution was written with good intentions, but they are not able to build nations. I wonder how come he took an oath to respect such constitution that has no ability to build the nation!

The current financial situation in the churches is wrong. I’m not exaggerating as many people may think. I decided to shed the light on wrong habits by our spiritual leaders that affect the church very bad, especially as they don’t accept council of the Coptic expert and just ignore them.

Terrorists don’t have to carry bombs and weapons, as some extremists may hold pens that kill innocent people and defame their reputation. As soon as the final committee that investigated the papers of Mariam Malak, the famous zero student, decided that the papers belong to Mariam, several people started to attack the poor girl. They accused her of forging the story and others said she suffered from mental illness after her father died. Moreover, others accused her of being supported by foreign organizations. Wahid Hamed, writer, said she should stand trial as soon as possible for making up the story. All of them forgot about corruption that spread all over Egypt. It’s known that several ministers in Egypt start stealing as soon as they take office. There was a revolution in Egypt against corruption in the government. They act like they think Mariam was bad as she hold onto

The time does not wait for any one it is going on and on the earth keeps turning around the sun and our solar system and so on, time does not wait on us because we are sad or happy it would not even wait for us because we are not part of this living world but our acts will hunt us in history until we meet our final judgement by the most just judge!

I firmly believe that all great things come from a balance of constructive criticism and positive reinforcement. A lack of balance will put anything and anyone at risk of not developing their full potential, and stunt any type of hopeful growth. If I am someone who is trying my best to achieve a dream, or achieve growth, or achieve change, it only makes sense that positivity will encourage me to move forward, and negative criticism will most likely cause me to give up. Constructive criticism is beneficial when given in small amounts. I mean to say, for every 1 negative thought put forward, 2 positive thoughts should also be put forward to balance out. Consider a small child. Or even someone in secondary school. Constant words like "you are doing this wrong" "I can't believe you don't know this" "look at how badly you did this" "you are not smart" "you are not taking anything seriously"will really damage a person.

Dr. Mustafa Mahmoud, the Egyptian scientist, 1presented a TV show under the title “science and faith" in which he objectively presented the right scientific information. However, years after the show was closed, our media is specialized currently in presenting several myths and superstitions instead of science. Few days ago, Tamer Amin, Egyptian anchor, presented in a program aired on Saudi Channel talked about "Supreme Council of the World".

I am very optimistic that the situation in Egypt is getting more stable. This is crystal clear comparing to the situation in 2013. Such optimism is indeed supported by the Egyptian state waging war against corruptionز The new government comes with the election of a new parliament after the revolution of June 30. 90 million Egyptians are waiting for this hoping for better future for their children. However, several challenges are facing our country, and people are expecting more security and better standards of living.

It was not strange to Mubarak, who was not elected by the Egyptians, to take several mysterious decisions and keep them mysterious to the people. After Mubarak was overthrown, his men tried to continue such hateful policy, but they didn’t realize the fact that the Egyptians now elect their president. President Abdul Fattah al-Sisi appointed Ibrahim Mehleb as the Egyptian Prime Minister. However, he was removed suddenly from his office for some reason like he didn’t answer a question by a journalist who belongs to the Muslim Brotherhood making the Egyptian government looks too bad, or he is involved in corruption cases like the one of the agriculture minister Salah Helal. However, we should know why he chose the new Prime Minister.

A Friend told Pope Tawadros that many bishops, priests and monks publish inappropriate topics on their Facebook pages. The Pope asked him to tell them to take heed. However, some of them said they know what’s on their pages and others denied it completely. Satellite dishes became crucial inside monasteries. They are not dedicated to receive Christian channels. They are entitled to do the service not to receive it. All technology can be used by the devil to attack the clergy. This technology may be very destructive to their spiritual life. Listen to the bible saying: “be vigilant, because your adversary the devil as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.”

For the past few days I’ve been following two main Issues, first was the refugees of Syria and other countries to Europe with a main demand [Better Chances of LIFE] and this by no means mean they are threatened in their lives due to Daesh -ISIS- massacres, many of those refugees come from African Countries far away from Daesh atrocities, they are just looking for a better life, including some of the Syrian refugees who left Syria from governorates not under attack but chances of work and life are too little if none in a country that suffers for years now from instability due to the Arab Spring, or conspiracies or what so ever reasons!

America has almost a million negatives, when I look at it as a negative. I can even be so bold as to say, so does any other Western country. Americans are for the most part, money hungry, power hungry, capitalists. America is a consumer based society, where the thirst for power seems to be never satiated. Having said that, however, there is one thing that we can see from looking at any Western country, and hope to achieve this one day, and this is devastation shock and the strength to rebuild. The events of 9/11 were horrendous. So tragic that hundreds lost their lives due to fanatics and their distorted actions. I’m ok with anyone believe in anything, but when it affects the people around you, then it’s time to reflect and adjust accordingly. The beliefs of these sick animals affected hundreds of people and changed their lives forever. Even look to Canada and the terror attack on Pa

Egyptian newspapers have been talking for a while about the nomination of the Salafi Nour Party for some Copts on its electoral lists. This is now accepted and totally permissible by leaders of the Salafist call who used to prevent this as unlawful. They believe the Copts are infidels along the year, but forget about such fact during the elections. It’s really a filthy political game to legitimize the party, which is based on an entirely religious basis against the Constitution. Does Sheikh Berhamy forget about his earlier statement in which he called the Copts infidels who shouldn’t take any political office? Now, his party invites the Copts to run for elections on the lists of the Salafis!

Many Copts have been talking about the civil marriage as a magical solution to personal status cases that Christians have been suffering from. However, marriage in Egypt is usually performed by Muslim or Christian clergy according to the Egyptian law. I believe that Civil marriage for Muslims and Christians may cause several problems including inheritance laws and polygamy.
