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.

Sound religion has its positive effect on the individuals and the community as well. However, being deviated can cause many problems for both. Christianity define sound religion as: "To look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world". In the middle ages, the Catholic Church deviated and worked in politics rather than religion causing many disasters.

Couple of years ago, I was attending a meeting in the U.S. Congress in Washington. I needed to use the bathroom, but I didn't know how to get there. Then, a nice gentleman guided me to the bathroom. I thought I know him, and I really was. He was the famous American Senator Lindsey Graham.

33 million Egyptians demonstrated on June 30, 2013, in order to topple the government of the Muslim Brotherhood. This was clearly an Egyptian revolution. According to the most basic rules of democracy, this large number of people in the largest demonstration in history against the regime was very enough to put an end to this g overnment. However, this is not the case in Egypt under the rule of the Muslim Brotherhood who struggled for 80 years to be in power and would have never left it so easy.

We are lucky to witness such historical events in Egypt that next generations will remember forever. We are going to tell our children about these events as our grandfathers used to tell us stories about Orabi and the revolution of 1919.

We’ve heard many calls to unify the Copts abroad in order to serve their Coptic cause. However the Egyptians were not big fans of immigrating, many Copts have decided to change this in the twentieth century that about 2 million Coptic Christians have already immigrated out of Egypt and others are still waiting. The new phenomenon came with the increasing suffering of the Copts, especially after the revolution in 1952. This revolution tried to change the Egyptian identity by imposing more Arabic and Islamic aspects, in addition to many terroristic attacks that targeted the Copts leading them to be marginalized in all walks of life.

She found herself suddenly a very famous Coptic girl. Deminana Abdul Nour is a young lady who works as a teacher in Luxor, and represent the persecuted Coptic Christians in Egypt.

"People worship the weakness in Jesus Christ; however, they did not realize He was strong in every sense of power. Jesus was neither coward nor complainer, but so strong and even a rebel in many situations” said poet Gobran K. Gobran. Superficial understanding of sayings of Jesus Christ makes people think he encourages submission and servility, which is entirely untrue.

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.

Some people refuse to call the events of Jan. 25, 2011 as a revolution. I think they have the rights to do so, as revolutions usually aim to topple a bad regime and solve many problems. In Egypt, the “revolution” hasn't solved any problems and brought a worse regime. Giving its mixed standards, we can call it a “reversed revolution”.=

As the world celebrates Mother's day this month, Egypt presents different form of appreciation for women by taking away their rights. Six decades ago, women were much more appreciated in the Egyptian society, and it was big shame on men to hit women even if she hit him first.

Each religion has its own beliefs that we can't see or touch as they are really private, but we do touch the practices of the believers of that religion, as such practices determine how people deal with each other. Such practices are of two kinds: Either good enough to help the community or bad enough to destroy it. Egypt has both kinds of religious practices.

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.

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

The Coptic church works as an organization within Egypt that has to deal with the Egyptian state

Mubarak’s regime has claimed that Christians of Egypt are using violence against their enemies, which is a big lie of the former regime that lasted till now.

Many times did we, the Coptic Christians, face the same situation over and over again, while we only do the same actions and reactions to reap the same results!

Civil rights of Coptic Christians shouldn't be linked to their beliefs which is their own business.
