I congratulate Muslim Brotherhood's Assembly as they've completed their job successfully achieving their goal to distort the identity of Egypt and destroy its pluralism and diversity, which the Egyptian society is characterized by against other Middle Eastern societies.
Coptic Christians living in Egypt face the challenge of the complete absence of any political representation in any effective and meaningful way at every level in the Egyptian Political System. This lack of adequate representation ranges from the local level and City Councils, all the way up to and including the Parliament in both the Senate and the House of Representatives, and of course the Ministerial Seats.
First of all, I'd like to thank all people who have supported me against the fascist tyranny of the Islamic rule in Egypt, especially Mr. Mounir Bishay, Eng. Sherif Mansour, Mr. Oliver, Mr. William Wissa, sister Ghada Malak, Dr. Awad Shafik, Copts United team led by Eng. Ezzat Polous, and of course Dr. Hany Shenouda, my dear brother who is worried for my life more than myself.
This is my overdue article written 3 weeks ago revised as events in Egypt develop in an incredible way and too fast, initially was a reading between the lines about the confusion in the Egyptian streets and an analysis justifying some deeds of the Military Council (MC), and sayings of the ex-president Husny Mubarak.
GENEVA (30 November 2012) – The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay has urged the President of Egypt, Mohamed Morsi, to reconsider the Constitutional Declaration issued last week, saying a number of measures contained in it are incompatible with international human rights law. She further warned that approving a constitution in these circumstances could be a deeply divisive move.
As we approach the celebration of the third departure anniversary for Eng. adly Abadir, Egypt is in a bad need to do something to strengthen the relationships of love and respect among all Egyptians who should understand that blood of the Copts is not priceless. Copts are only demanding their basic rights, such as equality. However, Islamists are destroying Egypt through their fanaticism and forcing Coptic minor girls into Islam supported by all state institutions! All this, according to Egn. Adly Abadir, is a result of the Wahabi finances. Things are getting worse, and Copts face death every now and then; once while praying, and another they are simply exploded while celebrating a feast.
No one could imagine that the Egyptians would come out calling President Morsy to step down after only 5 months since President Morsy came in power. Yesterday, Tahrir Square was full of people like it wasn't since the revolution of January 25.
On November 9th, 2012, some political Islamic groups led a protest in Tahrir square which they called” the Friday of enforcement of Sharia”, I am not to discuss the legitimacy of the demands of these groups who conducted the protest.
January 25 is a fake revolution, as its revolutionists have disappeared. It’s a fake one as Morsy and his Muslim Brotherhood escaped from the jail to be the governors of Egypt forming the new dictatorship, while the real revolutionists are kept in jail!
I've lived under Mubarak's regime and experienced his fake democracy. However, we enjoyed a better situation comparing to the dictatorship of the current regime. Current regime claim to support freedom and care for the revolution and its demands, but it only carries retardation and trade on religion.
Once again I find myself in the obligation to write a new article and postpone my 2 weeks old article about the confusion in the streets of Egypt; I promise to post it next week hopefully but for now I have to talk about the dictatorship in its ugliest ever states.
Coptic Orthodox Church was led during the transitional period by the Abba Pachomius, the Acting Patriarch, till His Holiness Pope Tawadros was enthroned as the 118th Pope carrying the number 118. To me, Celebrating the mass as well as the official enthronement were like a journey to heaven or like living the first days of the Church when “They all joined together constantly in prayer”. Abba Pachomius could take his people to heaven through his humbleness, love and self-denial.
I remember the day Morsy was announced as the Egyptian president. I cried bitterly just like I did when my father died. For me, it was announcing the end of many beautiful things in Egypt, and the start of new dark days or sophistry stage for ignorance and blood, in which a group of corrupters trade on religion and hide behind it.
It is normal and logical that the President of a state puts the people of his country as top priority in his agenda, giving them the greatest concern. Doing this, he can try to help or sympathize with people of other countries who are suffering somehow. However, Islamists have another point of view that you can understand upon looking closely at the reaction of the President after two great events or incidents: First, the attack on Gaza in Palestine, which is not governed by President Morsy as it has its own elected President. Second, the terrible accident in Assiut, Egypt, in which more than 50 children were killed because of negligence and empty talk of the Islamists who brought only retardation to Egypt. Our President had a very strong reaction concerning the people of Gaza, but not of his people in Egypt.
We're shocked and all our dreams are turned out to nightmares after the death of many school students under the wheels of the train of Assiut. It's no longer enough to condemn or deplore. What happens in Egypt now? We feel that our lives are threatened in every single moment. Before that, our children were murdered in a soccer game while holding the Egyptian flag. Then, they were killed in a school bus holding their books! What kind of negligence is that? Till when no official will be judged for his neglect? Till when our souls will be threatened all the time along with our children, brothers, sisters and friends. Till when our souls will be priceless?
Once again after I had finished my weekly article about CONFUSION in the Egyptian STREES I’m in the obligation towards the current EVENTS to talk again about Sinai clearly and bolt I had said it a lot of times before the TARGET is Sinai warning about it I guess it has come to the execution time now!
Mr. Hammad, a member of political office suggested that it is not even necessary to congratulate the Pope seeing as it is not Islamic, and does not concern Muslims. During the Mubarak era, the Salafis were considered to be a “fundamentalist” religious group due to the known acts of violence having been committed by the group. They are now considered the 2nd political moving force next to the “Muslim Brotherhood” and work shoulder to shoulder with the brotherhood to establish an Islamic regime of the state. Their political positions carry a heavy influence and weight in internal Egyptian politics.
Egyptian public prosecutor has issued a decision to block pornographic websites in Egypt which will cost the state about one hundred million EGP. Sheikh Younis Makhion, leader in the Salafi Nour Party, said that such price is reasonable concerning the devastating effects on national security of such pornographic websites. However, this decision didn't give a specific definition of “pornographic websites”. It could be sites that distribute pure sexual materials, +18 music video website, or even scientific websites about human sexual activity. We don't know what kind of websites they are talking about. I wonder: Is Haifaa Wahbi's song “Bos Al Wawa” included in their list of the material that threaten the Egyptian national security!
After a typical day of a full time job, most fathers have their dinner with their families and watch television. Usually, they watch their favorite talk shows or a nice movie before they go to bed.
A jihadi sheikh appeared on Dream 2, the private Egyptian TV channel, calling for destroying the Pyramids and Sphinx with no reaction taken by the president or the government. The news was televised all over the world, but president Morsy has ignored it completely as if he agrees with this jihadi sheikh. I wonder: Are Salafis trying to incite a world war by all means including destroying the Pyramids that is the heritage of all mankind?
Kandahar is a city in southern Afghanistan, but we had another one in Tahrir Square last Friday where Islamists have called for applying the Islamic law in Egypt
