The Yazidi is a Kurdish-speaking ethnoreligious group who practice a syncretic religion that combines Shi'i and Sufi Islam with indigenous regional folk traditions. These traditions include elements shared with the Christian and Mandaean communities of the Near East, as well as with more ancient Gnostic, Marcionite, Zoroastrian and early Mesopotamian religions.

If Hamdeen Sabahi wins the upcoming presidential elections on May 26-27, 2014, will he fulfill his promises towards the Muslim Brotherhood to empower them to return to the political scene and gradually restore power in Egypt? I guess he won’t as many indications point out that Sabahi won’t get more than 15% of the total votes. Knowing they won’t have place in the political scene under the regime of al-Sisi, the Muslim Brotherhood finds Hamdeen Sabahi a much better option, and therefore they may decide to support him.

A Coptic Christian friend told me that he used to work in the Eastern Province of the Saudi Arabia. He said that many times did he have to hide his faith in order to live in peace, especially when his colleagues started taking pride of their faith and curse the Jews and Christians. He had to fast during the holy month of Ramadan and ignore many insults to his faith. Furthermore, once he had to pray in a mosque with people cursing Christians and their faith in their prayers! In fact, he was lucky that his name didn’t reveal his real identity, or else he would have suffered even more.

It is not true that the Arab Spring of demolition has started when Mohamed Bou Azizi burned himself alive leading many regimes in North Africa and the Middel East to meet their destiny.
