Dr. Ahmed Zaki Badr, Minister of Local Development, said the government recognizes the negligence in engineering departments in the local councils. Notice that he didn’t talk about corruption in the local councils. He rather mentioned negligence than corruption. In fact, I believe that Dr. Badr should make a revolution in the local councils. However, we still see violating buildings that were visited by officials and they get electricity from the government. The biggest problem facing municipal councils is the garbage and how to get rid of it or recycle it.

Yahya Rifai Soror, leader in the Salafi front, said that humans don’t have the right to live unless they worship God the right way. Therefore, it was lawful for ISIS to slay the Copts in Libya since they are infidels. He added that it is shameful for the Muslims that Christians were safe after the military coup. He added on Facebook that shedding the blood of the Copts and all supporters of Sisi is permissible. Slaughter of Copts is but a religious duty, he explained. This is a sample of statements made by Salafi leaders, which makes it clear that they don’t respect Egyptian citizenship or human beings, and therefore, they don’t deserve to live on the Egyptian land.

A friend asked me about the unforgivable sin in the bible. It was no easy question, and at that time I was busy studying the 2014 constitution. However, when I thought about the question, I realized that the current situation in Egypt can explain what the unforgivable sin means. The Egyptians are willing to forget about so many mistakes by the Muslim Brotherhood, but it insists to be a terrorist group and decided to change the identity of Egypt by force. Its supporters insist on dividing the country and convert it into an Islamic state. This is apparently an unforgivable sin.

Getting rid of garbage in the streets is part of progress project of the elected president Mursy who loves to be called so to be differentiated from all other governors of Egypt like the ousted king Farouk, or the deposed Mohammed Naguib, or the assassinated Nasser and Sadat, or the overthrown Mubarak.

Pen in the Arabic literature was likened to the sun, the moon, a sword, a horse, a sea and an honorable man. There is also an idiom says: “the nation that appreciates the pen, is sure to develop then”. I hope we are going to have a president who is like a pen, or rather a pencil. We don’t need a copying pencil president whose job would be writing whatever his party or group tells him what to write. Furthermore, we don’t need a president like a ball-point pen; who is too strict and narrow-minded with many defects and he never accepts change

"No to the second article of Constitution”: You might think such call is a kind of hallucination, but I tell you: It can turn into reality! It’s like a blank cartridge that has no effect but the noise, you tell. I whisper: but it can scare the heck out of many! We even reject such dream, and dreams are forgotten by time... We want to have it as a hope that we can work to achieve. I know church has accepted it with some modifications, but we, the Christians of Egypt, reject such idea completely and refuse its existence in the new constitution. It’s not our problem whether the committee of drafting the constitution will take our opinion into consideration or not... We should declare our freedom of speech, as we want a country of real citizenship, not a fake one! Let’s make our history tell we had rejected such article. Let’s write our rejection also in the Egyptian history, not only in the Coptic one.
