And you know how much I respect you ilovesaintmark, and I also disagree with a passion... I can only respond tomorrow when I'm on my computer... so please bear with me... Oujai
-
OOps... by the way ilovesaintmark... you're addressing Cephas is the wrong thread... Oujai
-
DEar ilovesaintmark, Article 2 deals with co-habitation (can't remember the original term). Subtly it detracts from Copts' rights rather than guarantees it... Oujai
-
Very true though dzheremi... Dear Unworthy1, I have been following on some online channels that I can provide links for later... however my understanding is that candidates are yet to officially register by the end of this month as far as I can reme…
-
Yes dzheremi but I have been following the potential presidential candidates and their agendas, and I may be fooled still, but honestly it looks very promising. There are talks about equality, minority rights, anti-discrimination laws, etc... yes th…
-
Dear dzheremi, I cannot argue with most of what you said. In fact, I think you misunderstood where I was coming from, but echoed what I wanted to say in better expression. I agree with most of what you said except: when I said: I won't argue... but …

Dear ilovesaintmark, Please do not ridicule the Egyptian revolution as idiotic. Please.. for my sake... I agree with you about all what you said about Saudis. In fact, you don't even know that as a muslim country they invented laws for marriage outs…
-
OK, let me expand on this and clarify some issues that maybe people who haven't lived in Egypt for long may not know... First of all, I am not denying at all that their religions compels them to treat Christians as infidels, and second-ranked, and o…
-
Ok dzheremi. A deeper discussion may ensue, but I won't begin now... I may wait until the afternoon here in the UK, so you will have woken up from sleep, sober enough to answer (hehe)... thanks for your reply anyway... have a good night, and please …

It is not working for me living in the UK. It may only be for American citizens, so let people know... Oujai qen `P[C
-
Yes geomike, but why should America stop the discrimination in Egypt? Seriously, is America on some loose ends, and finished dealing with their own problems? Or because they are the biggest secular state defending the minorities' rights all over the…
-
Dear dzheremi, Very interesting and illuminating what you say, and I guess it makes my life so easy trying to explain how things work in the current environment. First of all, there is no political vacuum as such. This political vacuum has been forg…
-
Guys, please keep the Egyptian revolution out of this. This is exactly what the corrupt regime that hasn't changed one iota is getting at.. to make the revolution out to have borne these fruits, and to apply the lame and ignorant policy that proves …

167 times that came to light without a single culprit prosecuted. Do you have any idea how many other incidents that weren't counted, or deliberately thrown away from public view? OUJAI
-
Yes, like the latter two posts... Church is not a place of politics. There shouldn't be any interference of the church in the country's politics... that especially applies with VERY BOLD LETTERS to Egypt. Oujai qen `P[C
-
HEhe... I corrected imikhail's typo, and I made one... hehe... thanks Unworthy1 Oujai
-
DEar I believe, Completely agree with Cephas... we have a duty towards our fellow brothers and sisters by helping them claim their own salvation... DEAR Unworthy1, TITL Is a lady and I was joking that my wife wasn't there otherwise she'd have got je…
-
Dear LoveisDivine, I think it was a type on imikhail's part. He meant "with our" rather than "without" Oujai qen `P[C
-
Dear TITL, Thanks very much for defending me... good thing my wife is not next to me... hehe... Dear Mina, I am sure you know how through Coptic heritage the faith was preserved down the generations => Orthodox faith => salvation. Dear Unwort…
-
I think the Bible says that 72 came back to Jesus saying joyfully that evil spirits were cast out and obeyed them, and the Lord told them to rather be happy with their names written in the Book of Life... our hymnody says 72 as well... Oujai
-
Dear TITL, My point is not about Coptic heritage, it's about compromise in all aspects including Coptic heritage... I never alluded to salvation being a side issue at all.. Oujai
-
I am glad that you cleared that up imikhail. I used to ask myself the same question (and just out of observation got down to the bottom of it as you said).. Oujai qen `P[C
-
Dear Mina, I tend to agree more with imikhail's view on this. I am not sure if you remember if I said that before, but I am all for absolutism. Relativism has an ugly face, and I guess you may already see how it is showing itself... anyway it is you…
-
I don't agree with the placatory approach... Oujai qen `P[C
-
Hehe... thank God you don't think like me. That is a very interesting point Mina, and I hope I make myself clear (although I really think I had done that a long time ago, and again I don't want this thread to be focussed on what I think)... in a nut…
-
I heard about one church (only one so far) in harret el room (named Al Amir Tadros) that they insist on singing the epistles in Coptic first and then translate into Arabic (90% sure though). I haven't been, and obviously the current practice is for …
-
My personal opinion imikhail is that people got bored... especially with the original rites of singing the scriptures... and add to that translating them from Coptic afterwards... whoa whoa come on... who is going to withstand all that? Oujai qen `P…
-
Dear Cephas, That is a good book you provided, but I still can't find the answer to my question. Thanks anyway... Oujai qen `P[C
-
Oh yes, and you rightly say you didn't blame Coptic for conflicting grammar but you were on the verge of... I'll comment further later Oujai

DEar Remenkimi, I'm awfully sorry you took my last post this way. I never meant to insult you in the slightest, and I was really astonished, that's why I made those comments... none of my words were intended as an insult at all, and I sincerely apol…
