The veils became so common in Egypt as a religious symbol by the seventies of the last century. Yet, it became more of a phenomenon in 2001 with the advent of the Islamic preacher Amr Khaled, who made “the veil worn by Muslim women” his main cause. He ignored all its conditions and encouraged all Muslim girls to cover their heads. He made it so simple that most Muslim girls covered the head as long as they could maintain their beauty and keep up with latest fashion lines.

Egypt is writing its constitution, which is hopefully going to entrench a civil and democratic state of Egypt that preserves rights of all Egyptians without discrimination based on race, color or religion. This is how constitutions usually work: They underscore the basic rights and principles to ensure rights and equality among all citizens, then comes the laws to explain and carry out such rights and principles.

Exactly in few hours ahead at 2pm Sunday 6th. October 2013, as I write this but will be published on the following day, it will be 40 years. On that same day at that time 40 years ago, I sat in my room listening to my small portable transistor radio to the news! Is it another attack and counter attack in the long awaited liberation war?

While I was going to give my condolences to one of my relatives who died at the hands of thieves stealing his jewelry, on my way I passed by land used for agriculture, and was surprised that all the land turned into places for buildings instead of farms and plants. This land was used before to cultivate different plants like wheat, whey, corn, and many other plants. Now, I saw only buildings where fertile land stood.

Catherine Ashton is currently visiting Egypt to offer a draft of 6 points, approved by the EU and the international organization of the Muslim Brotherhood. Her initiative aims to deceive the Egyptian government by inviting the Muslim Brotherhood to recognize the road map, stop its demonstrations, and denounce the terrorist attacks in Sinai. Such initiative reflects the cunning diplomacy of the European administration to solve the crisis in Egypt.

This article is about two pillars of the ideology of the Muslim Brotherhood. The first is to make a religion for the state. The second is to dissolve the boarders among Islamic states leading to the Islamic caliphate. They call Egypt an Islamic state that should be governed with the Islamic Sharia.

Two weeks ago, the Somali Islamist group al Shabaab stormed a shopping mall in the Kenyan capital Nairobi, brutally killing 67 people including children just for not being a Muslim or for being a Muslim who doesn’t know the name of Prophet Mohamed’s mother! They did such terrible crime in the name of Islam and calling to apply the Islamic Sharia.

The former Egyptian regimes have tried hard to keep politics out of our schools, and to suppress any political activity in the Egyptian universities, raising the slogan “No politics in education”. Suddenly, we had a revolution, and politics have been mixed with everything in Egypt including educational institutions. Unfortunately, such mixture wasn’t void of violence and chaos. Thus, many people are demanding the prevention of politics in schools and universities, which was refused by many people as well.

This is not my call this is a petition from a trust worthy person sent to me I decided to follow the link and dedicate today's article to explain it to whom might understand and put the dots on the i's! First let me excuse the people who in a desperate moment in life under the stress of violence just for being a Christian suffer from all kinds in injustice; at a point in time I thought I can not survive in such a climate and took my family and immigrated! I was young, inexperienced and human subject to the wrong decisions! I forgot that we are all protected not just by our guardian angles but by almighty God who will never let go of his subjects! Even those who died or their belongings were burnt stolen and scattered for sure there is a just cause for it we might not know it now or never find out but for sure there is a reason!

Muslims Brotherhood lately was trying to spoil everything in the country, Schools, Universities, Airports, and Streets. What Muslim Brotherhood aim to. I believe that it aims to nothing except chaos. Muslim Brotherhood since 30th June and until now adopts principle to be in the scene or burn everything in the country.

The world was turned upside down when the 50-members committee to amend the 2012 constitution decided to amend Article III, and replace “Christians and Jews can resort to their religious laws” by “Non-Muslims resort to their religious laws”. Here we may recognize some Egyptian citizens struggling to live free in their own country, and those have all the right to do so.

Egypt is currently experiencing a critical time during the transitional period, in which her enemies are willing to harm her by all means. Therefore, we can’t risk by having a weak governor who takes only soft decisions. Instead, the upcoming president should be resolute and pretty much tough. In fact, democracy is not so new to Egypt, as it was practiced and applied six decades ago, before the revolution of July 23 , 1952.

Political Islamists reject secularism claiming it came to fight the Christian priesthood, which Islam doesn’t have. They claim secularism was founded to fight the domination of the Church of Rome over every aspect of life. Thus, they claim there should be no contradiction or separation between religion and politics.

Nine years ago, on September 23, the late Eng. Adly Abadier had invited the Coptic activists all over the world to participate in a Coptic conference in Europe that was entitled: "Copts under Siege", which aimed to unify the Coptic work and effort to claim their rights and equal citizenship with the majority of Muslims in Egypt.

You were born in a Christian, Jewish, Muslim or even a Hindu family within Indians and were taught Indian traditions and religion so you believe in the Hindu religion! Can I or you or the best religious clerics and priests convince you to change your religion?

Finally after 2 months of the June 30th Revolution, Obama has announced that Morsy was governing Egypt in the wrong way. After just 2 months passed by, Obama gave up in return of the Egyptians' will, although all the pressures were practiced by America and their allies. Obama would never reach this conclusion without being sure with his administration that there was no way to keep supporting terrorism in Egypt.

For more than eighty years, the successive regimes in Egypt couldn’t eliminate the idea of political Islam that Hassan al-Banna came up with. He claimed this idea is serving Islam, but in fact, it was to achieve the political goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, which appeared clearly when his sons came in power.

I have a proposal for all who love Egypt, especially the Copts. As the state is taking forever to repair and rebuild the demolished and burned churches and properties of the Copts, why don’t we donate for their restoration?

What is happening to the Copts in Egypt, especially in Upper Egypt has reached its peak. I am talking here about burning their historical churches (86 churches and 11 monastery) and killing many Copts after looting and destroying their properties and forcing them to sell it for much less price and to abandon their homes fearing for their lives.

Burning churches and imposing loyalties against the Coptic Christians in Delga village in Upper Egypt by the fanatics is really worrisome. The village is currently controlled by the Islamists who threaten the Copts by killing and kidnapping their families if they don’t pay certain amounts of money. Consequently, the Copts prefer to pray inside their homes instead of churches. Additionally, the Islamists threatened to sexually abuse the Coptic women!

Few days back the government officials -without specific names- announced their inability to apply the maximum income law that was a proposal to help the government to find funds to help poor people that according to the minimum standards should not have less than x amount of monthly income for a minimum dignity!
