It was pretty much a dramatic scene, when about 10 friends gathered at Cairo Airport to bid farewell for their old friend who has decided to emigrate out of Egypt. My friends and I had tried to change the mind of this successful businessman, but he rather insisted on emigration decision.

On Thursday May 9th, 2013, the delegation of the Coptic Orthodox Church left Cairo heading to the Vatican. The delegation, headed by His Holiness Pope Tawadros II, went to offer love and respect to the head of the Vatican, knowing they have the same beliefs stated in the Nicene Creed.

Some time ago I did write about the weapon's market the legal international trade of weapons, which is well known and legislated and monitored however today I write about the illegal market out there the so called and well known as BLACK MARKET but before let me borrow this statement from :-

Morsi hasn’t established a good atmosphere for any national dialogue. On the contrary, he divided all communities, all people, and all nations towards his policies. Even the Salafis turned against him. Why? Because Morsi is a Dictator. We now see what a real dictatorship is.

When he was cleansing the temple of God, Jesus Christ said: My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a ‘den of thieves'. He was very angry and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves, saying: My house shall be called a house of prayer, but you have made it a ‘den of thieves'. However, Coptic Christians do the same nowadays when they make a playground for politicians out of their church.

As I started working as a researcher in Amazigh affairs, I mentioned different stories from many people in Egypt know about the Arab invasion to Egypt. Many people were shocked as I described it as violent invasion rather than peaceful Islamic conquest, even if it was hiding behind noble reasons and slogans.

It was unexpected scene in St. Mark's Great Cathedral when the Pope was, following protocol, thanking the officials for congratulating the Copts on Easter. He started with the Egyptian President and the Prime Minister who belong to the fanatics that announced it's prohibited to congratulate the Copts on their feasts. The people have not clapped at all, which is considered a sign of disrespect and disapproval.

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!
