In their first anniversary...

At October 6th of each year, we remember the victory of our Armed Forces in the war against Israel. Our great soldiers could achieve such victory as they fought together, Muslims and Christians, for they really loved their country. They didn't fear the fire of the enemy as they insisted on defending Egypt. Muslim and Christian blood was mixed in Sinai till the great victory has been achieved to spread joy and gladness all over Egypt.

One day, our joy of celebrating that victory has turned suddenly into sorrow and grief. This happened on October 9th, 2011 as the armored vehicles of our Armed Forces has crushed the Coptic Christian demonstrators because they tried to demand their rights peacefully after their churches were demolished, their brothers were blown up while praying and their sisters were kidnapped!

Those who participated in achieving the victory of October 6th were killed on October 9th, and the killers claimed that a third party has stolen the armored vehicles to kill the Copts! I agree with them as this third party has also stoled the revolution along with Egypt, and nobody has been judged!

People are no longer fair, how about the heaven? I believe we shall wait for God to intervene. We may hold our peace that God may talk.

I remind Dr. Morsy of his electoral promises that brought him to power when he made a promise to judge those who are responsible for killing the innocent Egyptians no matter what's their position. I ask Dr. Morsy: Will Coptic Christians always be second class citizens? Why didn't you intervene in order to prevent such sectarian strife? Why didn't you judge those who are responsible for killing innocent Egyptians?

Dr. Morsy, you need to confess that there is an increasing sectarian strife in Egypt, which needs criminalization of inciting a sectarian strife. Furthermore, criminals need to be judged, and the customary meetings need to be abolished. Moreover, attacking houses of worship and private properties should be criminalized. You need to guarantee values of equality and personal rights to the Egyptians. We dream of a country that never differentiate between the citizens based on their religion or sex. I dream of a country that respects law and personal rights to get rid of ignorance, poverty and intolerance. If only such dreams come true!
