The worst misfortune is the one that makes you laugh
Although "Tiran and Sanafir" crisis has escalated and grew bigger very fast like a snow ball, which spoiled the achievement claimed by the Egyptian administration by the visit of the Saudi King to Cairo. The reactions to the crisis exposed failure and ignorance of many public figures. However, the religious institutions refused to comment, support or oppose. Al-Azhar and the Church announced that they don’t have comment on such political decision since they only work in spiritual matters.
 
However, many Egyptians had comments including professors who know nothing about the matter and even changed their points of views by changing the televisions they were hosted at.
 
This reminds me of the saying: “The worst misfortune is the one that makes you laugh”. I was astonished as well by the statement issued by the secular front led by Kamal Zakher who established the front aiming to church reform. 
 
The statement addresses the Egyptian president concerning the crisis of the two islands demanding clarification concerning them. The political statement demands the parliament to have the chance to pass or reject the agreements according to Article 151 of the Constitution. This reflects a state of chaos. The worst misfortune indeed is the one that makes you laugh.
