Why Should I Celebrate?

  • Because the people who have killed my brothers and sisters have been honored and have the chance to flee the country without every being put to court.
  • Because the person who justified the virginity tests, by saying that they have been done so that the girls don't accuse the army of raping them, is now minister of defense and head of SCAF. Nothing is different.
  • Because the country is in the process of being "Ikhwanized", every seat will be taken by an Ikhwan member or someone with an Ikhwany identity.
  • Because now every single thing, except for the judiciary system, is in the hands of one man.
  • Because now the president has powers that might be even more than those of Mubarak.
  • Because if the court dissolves the consititutional assembly Morsy will choose the new one. And yes, the SCAF would have made a very bad one, but so would Morsy. Not only this, those who will write the constitution will also come from the same stream as Morsy.
  • Because we got rid of a Military state to have an Islamic state.
  • Because people died for freedom and now freedom is dead. It started with Okasha and El Dostoor, and you and me we'll be next.
  • Because we're being brainwashed in a very wise way and most of us are falling for it. 
  • Because Morsy penetrated freedom of speech with dirty laws and without doing the same from people who are on his side like Khaled Abd Allah, and we all cheered for him because we hate Okasha.
  • Because he gave the killers a safe exit and we cheered for him because he fired them.
  • Because I don't understand anything and even though I hate both Tantawy and Anan more than many of you, because I have seen people die with my own eyes because of them, I know very well that Morsy will never bring this country anything of any good either, so it's from bad to bad.
  • Because deals between SCAF and Ikhwan keep sealing and we know nothing about them and in the end they all come to nobody's benefit but theirs.
  • Because when killers and traitors go unpunished, there will always be new killers and traitors.
  • Because what happened today resulted in nothing but more divisions.

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

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

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
