Father Sergius the rebel was born in Gerga in 1882, and then he moved to Cairo in his youth to study at the theological school at Mahmasha where he organized his very first demonstration against the bad conditions of the dorms. He graduated in 1903. He was ordained a priest in Mallawy one year later and then became the deputy of Assiut diocese. Later, he traveled to the Sudan and worked as the deputy of Khartoum diocese where he started the national struggle against the British colonization and issued “St. Mark's Episcopate Lighthouse" magazine. The English ruler ordered his deportation from the Sudan after spending three years there considering him a troublemaker.

Customary reconciliation sessions in Egypt succeeded to make fake peace between the Coptic Christians and the Islamists. The Copts are usually wronged and criminals are saved from punishment. Such sessions force the victims to give up their rights and despise the law.

I was astonished by the reaction of Egyptian government after many foreign governments decided to close their embassies in Egypt and advised their citizens not to visit Egypt except for emergency, especially in Sinai and the Egyptian-Libyan border. In fact the Egyptian government did the same when it invited Egyptians to be extra cautious after Friday prayers in case the Muslim Brotherhood carries out a terrorist attack.

According to unofficial statistics, more than four million Egyptians have become atheists since the revolution of January 25. Such horrible numbers should be taken into consideration since our community tends to believe in God. We should think about the reasons that lead so many people to disbelief in God and religions. Indeed, we care for appearances more than anything else. This is very dangerous as it separates between the practices and invisible true believing. Such balance was meant by God since the beginning. For instance, the Coptic Orthodox Church applies many rituals and links them to heaven.

The Muslims are suffering from Parliament terrorist attack in Ottawa more than any others. They suffer also by acts of ISIS and other Islamic organization that led many people to describe the Muslims as terrorists which is not true. Why should the Muslims rejoice and cheer because someone was converted to Islam? I'm not talking here about the fanatics who kidnap Christian girls and force them to convert into Islam, as they are but criminals. Those are indeed criminals. I also met with some people who had to embrace Islam because they work in an Arab country or for other reasons. Those don’t consider themselves Muslims, but other Muslims count them among their congregation. Another man decided to seize money of a Muslim woman. So, he converted into Islam and married her! However, catechumens pass through many tests before they are accepted in Christian churches.

Day after another, Sheikh Yasser Borhamy issues fatwa after another about Christians showing his great interest in his partners in homeland and in particular their inevitable destiny in hell as infidels! He didn’t forget to repeat that even when blood of Christians and Muslims were mixed up in Sinai in the recent terrorist attack. As Egypt was mourning the victims of that very attack, Borhamy was bringing the bad news that Christian victims will never enter heaven.

Everyone is concerned about ISIS’ news in Iraq and Syria. ISIS is the abbreviation of the “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria”. The name is taken from a group founded by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq in 2004 to resist the US occupation. ISIS, is also known as Daash and developed significantly, especially after the establishment of the so-called Front victory in Syria, formed in militias under the name of the Free Syrian Army to fight against Bashar Assad's regime, They soon grew more and more powerful to become one of the most powerful factions within the FSA. Later, they announced the integration of al-Qaeda branch in Syria (Al-Nusra Front) to establish ISIS in April 2013, which increased its strength and population.

Is there terrorism in Egypt? Since when? Does Egypt export or import terrorism? Is Egypt fighting terrorism seriously? Is there somebody to answer such questions? Let me try to answer them starting from the seventies of the last century when I was introduced to politics that drove me crazy and will drive you the same. Terrorism in Egypt started at the seventies of the last century and at higher rates than any other country. Almost every week we heared about a terrorist attack. Only Iraq, Syria and Yemen exceled Egypt later. Terrorism against the Copts comes under the auspices of the state.

News media has converted people into animals who live in a circus. The poor animals are moved by their trainer to see and do whatever he or she wants. In fact, people have no choice anymore to pick up the news they want as they have to consume whatever presented by news media. However, have you ever thought about whom makes a decision to concentrate on or even ignore certain story or news? Indeed, it’s either authority or money.

After Minister of Interior Mohamed Ibrahim was proven a liar as he claimed lady of Gabal al-Tir had converted into Islam. Police attacked and broke into houses of the Copts to destroy them. Yet, the minister and his gang were unlucky as the lady could escape her kidnappers and returned to her family denying she was converted into Islam. This reveals the complicity of Al-Azhar or police can issue documents on behalf of Al-Azhar. It’s also weird that Al-Azhar issued no statement about the case yet. It should be part of the Wahhabi Saudi terrorist plan since 1952 to eliminate Christians of Egypt.

“Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name.” This was the prayer of Jesus Christ at the night of his crucifixion. He was apparently praying for the Christian unity.

Many people managed to despise the Egyptian law in order to impose their own ideas and conditions on the Egyptian society. For example, supporters of some political activists described the Egyptian Judiciary as unfair demanding the president to issue a presidential pardon for them. Yet, the same people refused the issuance of a presidential pardon for the Muslim Brotherhood under the former president Mohamed Morsy. I wonder: have they forgotten about their former positions and views?

It is indisputable that Christians are indigenous citizens in Iraq. Their existence in this country is prehistorically and they embraced Christianity since its very beginning as well. This is verified with tons of historical monuments museums and documents in Iraq.They do not lack the efficiency in all areas: scientific, medical, literary, artistic, media, academic, and political. As for their role in Iraq's modern history is explicit. They participated in all progressive movements and shared the most injustices and oppression by the government as well as the terrorist organizations. Such oppression has reached the peak by the terrorist organization of Daash.

How may the people of Egypt, especially Christians, trust the President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, after he broke his promise to rebuild the burned and demolished churches by the Muslim Brotherhood after the dispersal of Rabaa Adawia and Nahda sit-ins, but fulfilled his promise restore Rabaa mosque.

The existence of the ultra conservative al-Nour Party on the Egyptian political arena till now, in spite of the disband of the political arm of the Muslim Brotherhood, Freedom and Justice Party, refers to the continuation of the Saudi plans to humiliate Christian Egypt through many terrorist groups.

Congratulations to all Egyptians on Egypt's return after being kidnapped for three years. Those years were full of bitterness, blood, remorse, despair and hope. Some may ask: what does this title have to do such this intro? Well, after a publication has spread all over Egypt on which it’s written: “Did you pray today at the Prophet Mohamed?” With all due respect for our Muslim fellows and their believes, we should stay alert to any attempts to represent the Muslim Brotherhood who trade on religion to achieve their goals. They only changed the words to stay hidden. Soon, they may establish an assembly to start over.

Launching rockets by terrorists from Sinai against the Israeli city of Eilat is nothing but a clear message and warning to all Egyptians that Sinai is still out of control and terrorists of al-Qaeda, Hamas and Daash are having very nice time out there.

Kidnapping of Copts at Nag Hamadi is a phenomena that has recently increased so much. This week, five unmasked armed men have kidnapped Malak Zaghloul, Coptic young man, from his shop in front of his customers as the police have just disappeared leaving those criminals to do whatever they like.

An American court has sentenced a man to 24 months in prison for intentionally killing a dog. It was such a shocking news for me as no body would accept killing an innocent animal, but after thinking for a while, I found out that in my country, Egypt, many human beings are killed without punishment for the killers.

The Egyptian judiciary and the terrorist group of Daash have something in common, as both of them are terrorizing the Copts. It's known that the judiciary is penetrated since Mubarak's regime. It was even more penetrated under Morsy's regime. In spite of the wide participation of the Copts in the revolution of June 30, they still suffer under the auspices of the state. The newly elected President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who’s currently building the new Egypt, has to clean it of supporters of the Muslim Brotherhood inside the police and judiciary. Those supporters are being the hidden hand to punish opposes of the terrorist group, especially the Copts.

Cases of sexual assault were reported in Tahrir Square on Sunday at the time of the inauguration of army general Abdel Fattah Al-Sisi by dirty monsters who affected the reputation and dignity of the country so badly.
