Decline of Egyptian community
What’s happened in our society? How do people deal with each other? Have we come to the stage where people eat donkey's meat in their meals? Unfortunately, the answer is Yes. Moreover, cars are hit and attackers just escape. Women are sexually harassed and our men don’t move a muscle to defend them. 
 
We indeed experience a decline in morality and societal values as we see a horrible contradiction between words and deeds. While you came out in the streets, you must notice many marks of our religious community, but at the same time we find increasing rates in crimes in our streets. What is this contradiction?
 
People in our country ate the flesh of donkeys, drink cheated mineral water, steal electricity from governmental light poles, cheat on loaf of bread weight, sell expired children's milk and cheat in medicines!
 
Where is our conscience? Where is the fear of God? What about schools education and family teachings, guidance of media and clergy in mosques and churches?
 
We are facing problem of declining in society values that has a lot to do with our culture more than it does with the government.
 
The problem here in our double standards and the conflict between our words and deeds. More and more people are visiting Mekkah as pilgrims. More and more people are praying in mosques and churches. Yet, most of them are not honest or sincere. 
 
Therefore, We need to purify our souls from all this falsehood and contradiction that we live in.
 
Our society cannot rise or develop without doing our best to get out of our poverty, underdevelopment and corruption.
 
Many people were more than happy to participate in burning churches, schools and police station, which proves the contradiction I was just talking about.
 
We need to bring up a new generation of true breeding, that would be achieved by contributing from all sectors and state institutions led by the Ministry of Education, Here, we can’t forget the important role of home, school, places of worship and all sectors of civil society. We have to make the best out of media to achieve that goal as well.
 
Can we restore the good morals and values in our society? I hope we need help from heaven to be able to do so.
