Mrs. Naglaa Morsy, the first lady of Egypt, has taken a vacation in Taba, which shouldn't be something strange. She, as a human being, has the right to relax and enjoy herself. Furthermore, she has the right to spend as much as she wants, as long as she spends from her own money, and stay away from our tax money.
President Mohammed Morsy has given many promises that had never been kept. He promised to solve many problems during his first 100 days, but things are getting even worse! Garbage is all over Egypt, gas is rarely found, bread is too bad, security has many issues to the extent that the governor of Kafr el-Sheik was robbed under duress! Moreover, Dr. Morsy has promised to take consensual decisions, but he has never done so even upon drafting the constitution of Egypt.
After Hamada Saber was assaulted and stripped nude in front of the Presidential Palace by brutal security forces who kept beating him up, all Egyptians felt assaulted, and Egypt was totally insulted.
A while ago when I newly started to write weekly articles on this site I stated it clear and now I re-iterate it clear:-
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I watched the video of beating and stripping Hamada Saber nude in the street by policemen, as I thought this kind of practices has come to end after overthrowing the former regime. In fact, all Egyptians were shocked with his statements about being tortured by the revolutionists. But they were more shocked as he claimed police has nothing to do with this, and that he was stripped nude and was beaten by the demonstrators themselves, despite the video that shows policemen doing this in a brutal way.
I was suffering from headache when I read that comment on Facebook, which calls a Christian politician “The Coptic Judah”. As you may know that Judah was one of twelve disciples of Christ. This Judah has betrayed his Master and handed him over to be crucified. Only then, I suffered more from that headache as I was thinking about such description.
Many Egyptians, who have been supporting Muslim Brotherhood since the revolution of January 25, say bitterly: “We were trapped into supporting MB”. You can hear this statement in Egypt by both rich and poor, well-educated and illiterate, as they found out that the Muslim Brotherhood are after power by all means, and through all Egyptian institutions ending by the presidency.
“This article was published in arabic on Copts United on February 2012, but history repeats itself that we may learn the lessons from the past.”
As I expected 25th of January come and gone and people stood and still standing people died and die been assaulted and still and neither Dr. Morsy resigned nor his regime gone but staying in a fierce stubbornness trying to impose their views and making all kind of excises.
Egypt stands today on the brink of complete collapse it has not witnessed in the darkest moments of its modern history. It does not appear on the horizon likely clear out of the current political impasse after President Mohamed Morsi had abandoned his neutral position as a president of the Republic and transformed the political struggle to bone-crushing battle between him as a representative of the Muslim Brotherhood and other national powers.
I was thinking about Egypt, and how may I describe its situation now. I found that we live at what we may call “the time of thuggery”
Egypt was turned upside down after Netherlands had granted asylum for the prosecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt. It was a great chance for many anti-Copts politicians, journalists or Islamists to attack the Copts and accuse them of treason as well as defaming Egypt. Many public figures have condemned asylum seekers claiming that Egypt has no racial discrimination at all, and said that Netherlands is trying to interfere in the Egyptian internal affairs, affecting its national solidarity badly!
Ignoring women rights in Egypt for long years is a serious crime. Keep on doing the same thing today is an attempt to return to the days of retardations, ignorance and darkness. Egyptian women have participated in many national movements and revolutions. Including the revolution of 1919 and January 25.
I’m still away from Egypt but my heart and thoughts are always there, I noticed lately continuous threats of the forthcoming revolution on the second anniversary of the revolution that took ex-president off power! I wondered and still wondering about this TIMED REVOLUTION!
712 days have passed since January 2011 setback, during which many creatures have appeared and disappeared from the Egyptian society according to the new reality of the community. This setback is definitely leading us, especially the poor, to the great due fall as they support their killer.

Public transportation in Egypt is a good place to chat with people you don’t know, learn more about their lives, and even to fight with them. Couple of days ago, I took the bus. Suddenly, I heard some people arguing about losing Sinai for the
Many obstacles encounter our life. Therefore, we repeat at each mass saying: Manage our life as deemed fit! Will God manage our life as deemed fit even if we don't have a good relationship with Him? The answer is: Yes
Quota is a fixed share that must be received, and the Coptic quota is a fixed share for the Coptic Christians in Egypt given during the elections to ensure a pretty fair representative for them in the parliament. Countries that enjoy democracy don't need such exceptional procedures
In my open letter to the world last week I mentioned Iran and Qatar militants that the empowered president Morsy secretly assigned to protect his regime. Let us briefly review what this means. In 1939, diplomatic
Christmas always brings joy and happiness. However we've never imagined it may being such pain, We know that Christ Himself said: “Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy. A woman giving birth to a child has pain because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. (John 16:20-21)
