Last time we were trying to understand and analyze more if the developed countries are actually developed and we could find out that in the economic meaning they are developed but in social meaning they are completely not because of the discrimination they have in their society as well as they claim they defend human rights but only human rights in their countries.
We always in the media, universities or our communitites hear these sentences " we are not like the developed countries", In deveoped countries they are better in this field or that field, but we never asked ourselves this question are developed countries are actually developed? or we are just trying to minimize from ourselfes because we always fell Inferiority.
Democracy is not an easy feat. It takes patience, intelligence, and strength. When I think about how far we come, I believe that we are on the right path to forming a democracy. I believe, however, that we need to be clear on what democracy means for Egypt. I think our current problem is that the landscape of Egypt is too diverse. Diversity isn't neccessarily a bad thing, but when everyone, from every background is intesnely passionate about what they want, we get caught up in minor details instead of looking at the bigger picture.
The last visit to Sisi to german and Hungary shows without any doupt that Sis is a brave man. Sisi didn't afraid from the criticse of the western country or afraid to be accused that he did a coup. Sis decided to face all these inclinations instead of escaping it. I appraise what Sisi did. Egypt was in need to someone face the world and face Egypt's problems not to escape from it. Until now I can say that Sisi succeeded to convince a lot of countries that what happened in Egypt in July third wasn't a coup but was a will of Egyptian to change.
Media starts to play a very danger role in politics. The media supposed to be like a candle to shed the light on the weaknesses of the different sides of the life. Playing politics role is not good for the media especially that Egyptian receive their information from the media not from reading or analysing. I believe that we need media charter to be able to adjust the media role in the politics life. Look to what happened between Dr. Al Ghazaly Harb and the journalist Ahmad Mousa. This case represents a very clear example to the bad role that Media play in the political life.
The last crisis of Alwafd party explains to us how is the political parties from inside. All political parties seek authority not seeking to introduce alternative to the citizen. Egyptian parties without exception doesn't have a real alternative to Egypt's problem.
Today is the day where we can finally see some justice in Egypt. Today is the day Mohamed Morsi was sentenced to death. What bothers me, is I saw a lot of people on social media condemning this sentence. Saying democracy and the revolution was all for nothing, and that this sentence is in fact the beginning of dark days for Egypt. I am actually quite offended when I hear statements like these. I can tolerate different opinions but to a point. I find myself de-friending people when it comes to this topic. I wish to take this opportunity to explain why. First, I would like to remind everyone of what exactly Morsi is behind bars for. He is charged with inciting violence. When is this ever an acceptable action? Especially come from the person who is supposedly leading the country? He is also charged with incitement for murder. Let's not forget that he is the one who is related to all those criminal charges for acts of terrorism. Above and beyond what he is charged for, have any of the ignorant people stopped to think about a critical aspect of his ouster?
The truth of the matter is, terrorists are winning. This may be a bold statement, but I want to focus on the three main points that will hopefully serve as a wake up call to maybe perhaps change our current state of living. It is no surprise hearing a bout a bomb going off, a police officer being killed, new martyrs joining Jesus in heaven. What is surprising is our reaction. We hear about Sisi talking about the fight against these actions. We ourselves have millions of pictures or mourning and devastation and emotional breakdowns. Every time a tragedy happens, we find our selves reacting in the same way. And you know what? This is exactly the reaction the terrorists are living for, expecting. What person would kill 21 innocent victims, and then be sad when they see the families of loved ones crying, and the funerals, and memorials being held? None. People who kill, kill for the thrill of watching the world's reaction.
Any one who looks at the political parties today will feel without a doubt that It is impossible to have a sound political life in this situation. We all recently read about what happened with the Alwafd Party and how a group of people inside the party itself wanted to isolate the president of the party for the sake of a reform. It has not only been the Alwafd party suffering from this hassal, but all political parties in Egypt are suffering from different diseases. I wonder how the political parties will enter the next parliament election while most of them suffer from internal conflicts.
Bombs going off. People dying everyday. New protests. Old reasons. Widespread violence and bloodshed, and tragedy, is now an everyday scenario we face in Egypt. It seems like not a second goes by without some new tragic event. The reason I am speaking about this new way of life is because I feel as though violence, if not prevented or stopped, will sooner rather than later become a part of the Egyptian culture.
I totally believe that Egypt is suffering from a lot of things now days. On one hand, What the Muslim Brotherhood does like bombing and killing that happens everyday, on the other hand, The Economic difficulties that Egypt face due to lacking of stability.
In the last article I spoke about the Resurrection, and about it's deep meaning. I ended my article with the question, are you working to enjoy the moment of resurrection? If so, then that's what I want to focus on today. Many people, including myself, find that it's so hard to work on a spiritual life which will lead you to eternal life to enjoy it. I admit that it is really hard, just as Jesus said in the Bible, “Satan has asked to sift all of you as wheat”
Resurrection is a deep word that we can contemplate with. While we are getting closer to Easter, we should seize the opportunity to think deeply upon the meaning of resurrection. In fact, the word "resurrection" gives us the hope for a better life. Imagine one day you are thinking about your fate after death, and you said to yourself, "There is no hope for me as long as I will die and this is my end." It must be so depressing when you have this feeling. One day one of my friends asked me how people will live in the eternal life. Will they feel bored after awhile? At this time, I told her that you are thinking this way because your mind is limited. You are measuring life in heaven with the same standard of your life on earth.
I would like to refresh your mind on the tragedy that took place in Afghanistan recently. A woman expressed her opinion, which really should be her right, through burning pages from the Koran. This poor woman was beaten, thrown from a roof, run over by a car, and then burned at a stake. Under what circumstances would this ever be acceptable? Where is the teaching of torture and burning, and all the heinous things that happened to her? This story makes me so upset, and honestly, I believe that justice needs to be served. Where are the perpetrators? What will happen to them? I don't think prison would be enough.
Ever wonder how much the President of each country makes? If you knew their salary, do you think your opinion of them would change? An article was recently released outlining the top salaries of prime ministers and presidents across the globe. No big surprise, Sisi did not make it. But the numbers that were revealed, however, were somewhat shocking, and not in a bad way. The US had the second highest pay rate for Obama, Stephen Harper of Canada coming in third. Who had the first? Singapore! Surprising right? I didn't see that coming. The reason I am mentioning salaries is because how do you quantify how much a leader should make? America's Obama makes $400,000 USD a year. When you think about it, it's not that much. Surgeons make up to $700,000 in the West. If money is not that motivating factor, than what pushes our leaders to do the best they can? When you think about Sisi, and all the accomplishments he's made, and all the work his group has put in to trying to restructure Egypt, what's it all worth? 45,000 Egyptian pounds a month? Is that too much? Is that too little? Take also into consideration, back in January he said he would donate half of that to the betterment of the economy.
I saw a picture on Facebook the other day that was really quite hilarious. I had all the leaders of Egypt and put their picture there. When it came to the Morsi Era, there was a picture of a monkey with sunglasses. I find it exceptionally funny, because whoever depicted Morsi as a monkey, was spot on in terms of the contribution he made to our country. Why am I talking about a picture of Morsi? What's the significance. The world saw Morsi as an animal that had no serious positive impact on the economy, political system, society or any other means. He was a president that was in every way mocked for all the ridiculous things he said.
I believe we are living in political hassle. We wake up everyday to find a new disaster that's not just bombs exploding, but also in a political meaning. The court last week declared that the election law is unconstitutional and 2 days after that incident, the court declared that the law that prevents expatriates from being a member in parliament is also unconstitutional.
The Massacare that happened to the 21 Martyrs in Lybia assures us of the double standard of the West towards us. I vivadly recall when "ISIS" killed the american man. The US decided the very next day to go in a war against ISIS. The UN, and the West supported what the US had done, however, when Egypt did the same thing, the UN did not support them. Now, the UN and the US believe a political solution is necessary. The question is, why didn't they believe in using a political solution for Syria? The West might be developed in regards to their industry, but I believe that the West is still developing in morally. The West is lost on the compass of human rights. When 12 French men were killed in France after 3 terrorists attaked the newspaper during a meeting, the whole West came to France to announce their soldirity with them. I believe what they did was a good action, but the question is why hasn't the West called for the same action when the Coptics were killed?
When you think about all the suffering that the Copts are going through right now, I can't help but remember the times of Jesus. Right now, we can't even imagine barbaric acts of killing. I look at the most recent tragedy, the beheading of the 21 Copts. I say to myself, "How could anybody in their right mind do such a terrible, unfathomable act?" And that's just it. These killers are not in their right mind. It has been said time after time how these people must be brainwashed. These criminals must not be right in the head.
It is no secret that everyday a new tragedy happens. We hear about this heartbreaking news over and over again. We have a nice dinner, and it's ruined with tragic news. We go out to a movie, and feel like we've lost our desire to have fun because of the situation we are in now. It seems all hope and joy is everyday destroyed by news of innocent people dying, or crazy psychos killing. When will this end? The problem is, realistically, the answer seems like "never." Because of the hopelessness of the above question, I am pushed to wonder, should we seek outside help for our current situation? Ok, now listen. The first thing we think about is how the US destroyed Iraq when they intervened. We must remember that the US had ulterior motives, they wanted that oil that Iraq had. Also, don't forget that, yes we pretty much hate the West, but there are so many other countries out there with the resources, and perhaps new ideas to rid us of our dilemma.
The Ex-Member of the NDP, Ahmad Ezz, announced recently that he intends to suggest himself as a candidate for the next parliamentiary elections. You can rest assured this step is a step in the direction back to the old regime and corrpution again. Egyptians made a revolution against corruption and now we can see corruption and corrupted people begin to appear again. Egyptians made a revolution against this regime and now we can see this regime returning in a new form. All Egyptians are asking now what is the point of the revolution if we back to same faces and the same corruption?
