As the queen of the world, America had a sanctified goddess that offered her protection and glory. This goddess was named: "Democracy, freedom and justice". However, being disbeliever in that goddess anymore, she lost its lovers, supporters, glory, and rather gained more and more enemies.
Jesus is risen indeed he is risen...this is the English version of Christos Anesty which in fact language-wise is Anesthy not Anesty because as we see in the Greek writing we say ανεσθή not ανεστή and the phonetics of the letter θ=th not just t! Well this is not a language article nor Grammar session it's just a passing by thought as I wanted to wish all of EGYPT Happy Easter!
First I want to say Happy Easter to all the Christians around the world. Today is Easter and this feast is gives us hope. Hope of a new life and hope of new chances. We need this feeling, especially since these days where everything around us is depressing and disappointing.
Being sectarian in Egypt doesn't contradict with being national and patriot. However, some people try to link patriotism to the acceptance of being humiliated as second degree citizen. Such talk is apparently applied to the Coptic Christians who are expected to beg for their rights and praise the Islamists if they give them some of it.
Muslims of al-Wasty have been hostile to the Copts since Rana H. Kamal, a Muslim girl, has disappeared two months ago. Indeed I sympathize with her family as well as any family that loses a child, however, in this case, there were tons of rumors, claims and accusations that were taken for granted by many people as facts including church implication in her disappearance.
I know that many people all over the world are interested in the Egyptian history and antiquities. However, most of them don’t even know that Christians represent 10 - 15% of the Egyptian population. Therefore, they don’t know to what extent the Copts are being prosecuted in their home country, where they are pretty much ranked as second degree citizens and are discriminated against through writing the religion in the identification card.
As the Easter approaches and the invitations of attending the Mass are being distributed, some invitations have reached president Mohammed Morsy and his people. Therefore, I want to send a letter of love and respect to our beloved Pope Tawadros.
A month ago in the western world was Palm Sunday and today only it was Palm Sunday when Jesus entered Jerusalem as the king of kings the King of the world days before his sacrifice to save the world! Jesus with his sacrifice saved the world it is a long story not many people believe in it or can understand it and I am not going to explain religion or preach people Christianity this has his own qualified people I just wanted to wish Egyptian people and the world a Happy Palm Sunday and apologize of today's usual talk I would prefer to stand silent for a day in respect of this Holly week or as called in Arabic and Greek the Passion Week, will resume my weekly articles on Eastern Sunday And have a blessed passion week and Happy Easter May god bless you all and Keep Blessing Egypt and Egyptians.
The political powers right now are divided between 2 attitudes, one of them is asking the army to come back and be in charge, and the other is calling for a new election. The question we have to ask now is, "Which choice is the best?" Do we have to choose between these 2 choices, or is there a new alternative?
Dear Muslim brothers, murder and subversion cannot be laws of God, who is almighty and needs nobody to defend Him by killing or causing destruction. As for those who claim to be defending God using violence, I say: “Your God should be the devil who is always thirsty to bloodshed. Instead, seek love and mercy, and let God do the judgment. If you have right, why don’t you seek it legally? Your fellow citizens deserve your protection rather than attack. This is from one hand.
Why doesn’t the Egyptian army do anything to save Egypt from the occupation of the Muslim Brotherhood? It’s now clear that the MB has applied the same American plan in Iraq war in 2003, in which they disbanded the army and dismantled the security services as well as judicial bodies.
Regardless of the identity or religion of a terrorist, he is but a devil in human body. Jesus Christ said about the devil that “He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him”. No matter where the terroristic attack happens, it’s but an evil work. Furthermore, I think that those who rejoice for such attack participate somehow with the terrorist. As both are full of hatred and evil. Moreover, I think that those who rejoice for such attack are even worse than that terrorist as they are so cowards.
Recent attacks on St. Mark Cathedral in Abbassya, encountered violence, terror, murder and harassment. The whole world as well as human conscience were shocked, and many hearts were driven to despair. In fact, our Christian history tells us that Christianity was born under much more difficult circumstances, even since Christ was born. Each time Christians gather to perform their prayers, they remember Christ saying: “In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
As usual Morsy and the Muslim Brotherhood keep going on their plans regardless of the people's reaction or other countries views like if nothing in this world matters except fulfilling their goals and plans! The good / bad news is Boston Bombs as last week 3 bombs exploded one at Manhattan and 2 at Boston not to talk of unexploded packages found near by and American police and investigators are not MB Egyptian police, within 48 hours they knew who the suspects are and were on the run!
We can be against the United States, as we want. We all don’t like some of their policies towards the world. We all don’t like the States supporting the Muslim Brotherhood, which we believe helped Egypt go backwards as a result. Despite all of the previously mentioned, we respect the States because it is a country that follows the law and applies it to its citizen without any discrimination.
Some people refuse to call the events of Jan. 25, 2011 as a revolution. I think they have the rights to do so, as revolutions usually aim to topple a bad regime and solve many problems. In Egypt, the “revolution” hasn't solved any problems and brought a worse regime. Giving its mixed standards, we can call it a “reversed revolution”.=
Copts and Muslims in Paris organized a demonstration on April 12th against killing innocent Christians in Khosous as well as attacking the Great Cathedral of St. Mark. However, some young Coptic Christians didn't like some cheers of unity among all Egyptians, Muslims and Christians. So, I need here to point out to some facts concerning the Coptic issue.
The Muslim Brotherhood group has become so arrogant after having a number of fake achievements. For instance, winning the forged presidential elections, drafting the disagreeable constitution, and fighting with the judiciary. Moreover, they arrested and killed many political activists and patriots.
