Reasons for Tomorrow's Protest

Whoever says that there's no need to protest again tomorrow, please remember this:

  1. Fathy Soroor and Safwat El Sherif are still free and living as they please.
  2. Zakareya Azmy still has his job.
  3. Media people haven't all changed, and changing faces is not the aim. The main aim is changing their strategies.
  4. The referendum was only a joke; we voted on some "amendments" and then the constitutional decree had many unacceptable articles that we were not allowed to decide if we want. If this referendum was a real one, then we were supposed to vote on the whole constitution and not only some articles that the army chooses to stop us from objecting.
  5. If this ugly constitution will be changed before we vote for a new president, which is not a must. It will still be there for at least eight months during which the army can be as a dictator as Mubarak if they wish.
  6. The new protests' law is just a start that can lead to a series of oppression laws. If you think that these protests should stop, they shouldn't be stopped by force. This is against all international conventions, peaceful protesting is a legitimate right for everyone.
  7. The army used violence and oppression too many times to be forgiven. And why should we compare our army with that of Libya's? Why not compare it with Tunisia's army?
  8. The army does absolutely nothing without being pressured. If they don't want to arrest people except by law, then at least sack them. Hello? This is a revolution, we weren't joking!

Whoever says that by protesting tomorrow, we're harming Egypt's future, please remember this:

  1. Tomorrow is Friday; a day-off for almost everyone.
  2. Protests are in squares and won't be moving, this will NOT stop the traffic in the whole country.
  3. By protesting, we will not stop anyone from doing their work, reaching their destination, or sleeping at home.

The Legend of Osiris, Moral of the Legend

First let me say that most of the extraction of lessons in this post isn't done by me, but by the person who has opened my eyes to the beautiful myth. Yet I also have to say that when I did my own research, and read it from different sources, I found even more lessons to learn. And that's the beauty of it, with every time you read it you learn something new. So to the moral of the Myth of Osiris.... It's clear that the fight between Horus and Seth is a fight between good and evil, between what's rightful and what's wrong, between what's true and what's fake. Horus had an intelligent mind that lead him to fight for the truth. Seth had an intellect mind that made him able to give excuses for his helpers, to brainwash them, or to give them fake reason to fight his fake war. Horus, with the wisdom of his mother and a father who holds the truth had the sharp vision of a hawk. But what is vision to our ancestors? What is the eye of Horus? What does it stand for...

Egypt Uprising 2013: One Last Push

June 29, 2013 Tamarod Tamarod (Rebel), the public movement that has been collecting signatures for the past two months to call for early presidential elections with the aim of finding a legal way to topple President Mohamed Morsi, announced the final signature count in a press conference this morning. The number announced was 22,134,465 signatures. Mahmoud Badr, the movement's founder, made a call for more than 22 million people to join the protests tomorrow and stay in the streets until they bring Morsi down. He also announced that the president's legitimacy has fallen after they've collected a number of signatures th at is more than 85% of the number of voters in the presidential elections. Badr answered those who question the number by demanding early elections, saying that this was the only way to prove the accuracy of either of their numbers. The announcement was met with celebratory reactions among many Egyptians...   Support Since April 6 movement...

Who Voted for Shafiq?

After standing in a line with the Heliopolis ladies who were mostly voting for Shafiq, I came back home wondering why would anyone do such thing? The most popular answer I got from the ladies was in fear of Ikhwan. Knowing that the percentage of Christians here is more than in other places, and knowing that us, the ladies of Heliopolis, can never live the life of Ikhwan with what Azza El Garf says about FGM and sexual harassment laws, with forcing us to wear or not wear something (even the veiled of us), with having men control our lives, with having someone control our religious practices it makes sense to be against Ikhwan. And being one of those ladies, I too am against Ikhwan and anyone who mixes religion with politics. Now this takes out Morsy (although I know a few who voted for him), and maybe Abo El Fotooh for some. So then I asked why not Sabahy? And they were all against him because of being a Nasserist because they're families were put under great harm because of nationa...
