كل مرة يغيب فيها الفعل الرسمى القوى يظهر فعل شعبى مجنون
غياب رد فعل رسمى قوى فى واقعة قتل جنود مصريين على الحدود = أحداث السفارة الاسرائيلية (ماحدش قرب من سفارة اسرائيل فى تركيا رغم انهم قتلوا أتراك علشان هناك فيه رجالة اتخذت قرارات تجيب حق اللى اتقتلوا، قرارات زى سحب سفير وتجميد علاقات تجارية من غير ما يقولوا حرب ولا تهديد بالحرب ولا اى حاجة)
غياب الشرطة فى مواجهة سرقة التوك توك فى بولاق = تجمع الأهالى وقتلهم لشخص وقطع يد اخر وتعذيب وقطع اجزاء من اجساد 2 اخرين.
ما سبق نموذجين لأحداث أسبوع واحد فقط.
هل الملوم الأهالى؟ أم من دفعهم للتجرؤ على كسر القانون؟ ام الاثنين؟
دائما التفسير الرسمى هو وجود اصابع خارجية صّعدت الأحداث وفلول يستغلوا الانفلات الأمنى. وكأن الانفلات الأمنى قدر لا يمكن تخطيه.
ان غياب الفعل الرسمى القوى لا يخص الشرطة فقط بل ادارة البلاد بشكل عام .. واتهام الناس بالعمالة وانهم فلول واصابع خارجية دليل خيبة بالويبة
اذا كان المسئولين يقطعون بخيانة البعض وعمالتهم فليحولوهم للتحقيق فورا والا فالمسئولين يعلنون صراحة انهم اضعف من ان يواجهوهم .. وعلى هذا فليرحلوا وليأتى من هو أقدر على مواجهة الفلول والاصابع الخارجية ولتبطل تلك الحجة السخيفة.. واذا ثبت بالدليل القاطع خيانة اى فصيل سياسى لن يرحمه احد بداهة.
مشاكل مصر معروفة وحلولها معروفة ما ينقصنا هو ارادة قوية من المسئولين عن البلاد (سلطة تنفيذية وسياسية ) كفانا الهاء فى قضايا فرعية وتعظيمها لتصبح هى الشغل الشاغل للجميع.
يا سادة يا مسئولين قوموا بواجبكم أولا قبل ان تملئوا الهواء بقصص الفلول والاصابع الخارجية
طبعا بعد الثورة ظهرت أشياء كثيرة ايجابية فى المجتمع .. واصبح لدى اغلب الناس اهتمام بالسياسة واهتمام بالبلد "مصر" ونما شعور الوطن الذى كان اختفى تقريبا من قبل.
بعض الناس بدأوا بالتغيير الايجابى لبيئتهم المحيطة مثل هؤلاء الشباب الذين وضعوا كراتين فارغة للقمامة بدلا من السلات المكسورة فى الشارع. كما ظهرت حمى طلاء الأرصفة والتى بدأ البعض وبالذات من مهندسى الديكور ومهتمى الفنون بالضيق منها. رأيى ان تلك الحمى رائعة فحتى لو كان الطلاء غير منظم وغير فنى حتى ولكن احدث تغييرا. فهؤلاء الشباب الذى يطلى الأرصفة هو نفس الشباب الذى كان قبل 25 يناير يقول ان تلك البلد "مش بلدنا" وانهم لا ينتمون لها وكانوا يتكلمون عن مجتمعات اخرى حضارية على اعتبار ان مصر مجتمع متخلف تماما. هل هذا الشاب الذى كان لا يشعر بأى حرج عندما يلوث شارعه يقرر ان يقوم بطلائه من باب الروشنة فقط؟؟ لا اعتقد. من قضى يوما واحدا فقط محنى الظهر يكنس الشارع ويدهن ارصفته سيفكر 100 مرة قبل ان يقرر ان يلوثه مرة اخرى. اما بالنسبة للشكل فبعد سنة او اكثر لابد وان يأتى محافظ كالعادة ليقرر ان يعيد طلاء كل الارصفة من جديد.
لكن السلبيات ايضا ظهرت بفجاجة ومنها بالطبع انعدام الشرطة تماما ولن اقول الأمن. فأنا مازلت مقتنعة ان الأمن كان غائبا منذ سنين. الكارثة فى نتيجة هذا الغياب.
بدأ النظام السابق بخطيئة صغيرة وهى سوء استغلال النفوذ والسلطة من قبل الشرطة تجاه الشعب ثم تلاها بخطيئة اكبر وهى الانسحاب الكامل وانهاها بخطيئة لا تغتفر وهى تحويل مصر الى مجتمع بلطجية.
البلطجية لم يعودوا الخارجين على القانون بل اصبح هناك بلطجية منزلى وهم الرجال فى اللجان الشعبية الذين ذاقوا واستمتعوا بحلاوة مسك السلاح والتهديد به.
فى يوم واحد فى شارعنا قبض شباب الشارع على 2 من اللصوص وفى المرتين كان التعامل معهم هو منتهى القسوة والسادية. احد الشباب كان معه teaser
بدأ يكهرب اللص ومع صرخاته كان يضحك هو والمحيطين به ومع اللص الاخر قام كل الشباب بضربه ضربة موت ثم اطلقوه. ولكن هل قاموا بتسليمهم للشرطة او للجيش؟
كلا
لقد قاموا بتطبيق قانونهم الخاص .. اصدروا الحكم ونفذوه وانتهى الامر.
عندما يأذن رب العباد وتعود الشرطة الى الشارع مع بداية الالفية الجديدة هل ستستطيع الشرطة التعامل مع البلطجية والبلطجية المنزلى؟ هل سيتمكنوا من التعامل مع الكم المهول من الاسلحة الموجود مع المواطنين البسطاء الآن.
لقد فزعت امس وانا ارى 2 من شباب الشارع وهم يخرجون مسدساتهم وكأنه شىء طبيعى يضعونه بجانب جراب الموبايل.
الآن نسمع قصص عن التعامل العنيف من المواطنين تجاه الشرطة وان ذلك ما يمنعهم من العودة للشارع. هل هناك امل ان تتحسن تلك المعاملة اذا استمروا غيابهم اكثر؟؟؟؟؟؟ مع كل يوم يغيبون فيه يزداد الشعور بالكره تجاهم ويزداد قناعة البعض باننا مش محتاجينلهم ناهيك عن الافراخ المتصاعد لبلطجية منزلى جدد كل يوم.
الى متى سيظل الجهاز الامنى مختفى؟
لابد من وبمنتهى السرعة:
1- محاكمات عاجلة لكل من اعتدى من جهاز الشرطة
2- تغيير القيادات القديمة
3- ضخ دفعة جديدة فى الشارع مع الاعلان انهم لم يلوثوا بعد بالممارسات القديمة لجهاز الشرطة
4- تعديل بسيط فى شكل زى الشرطة لكسر الصورة الذهنية
وبعدها سيقل الاحتقان ولكنه لن يزول الى ان يثبت كل الجهاز الامنى انه تعلم الدرس وتغير فعلا.
استمرار الوضع الحالى جريمة فى حقنا كلنا .. استمرار الوضع الحالى هو المؤامرة الحقيقية
الاخوة الاسكندنافيين المصريين .. نعدل بوصلتنا مع بعض كده
يجتاحنا ويغمرنا كلنا احساس عارم بالغضب والخوف. بعضنا يوجه هذا الغضب الى جهة الثورة والاخر يتوجه به الى جهة النظام. تختلف بوصلة المجموعتين: المجموعة الاولى الذين ينتمون الى الدول الاسكندنافية (الدنمارك والنرويج والسويد وقد ينضم لها فنلندا وايسلندا وربما مصر!!) اسعد شعوب العالم كما تذكر بعض التحليلات حيث ان الحال قبل 25 يناير لم يكن يختلف كثيرا عن الحال فى الدنمارك مثلا والمجموعة الاخرى المنتمين لمصر اخرى تماما والتى هى دولة من دول العالم الثالث.
منذ 25 يناير ظهر فى مصر ثوار ومحاورون ومتحولون وفئة جديدة هى المصريون الاسكندنافيون وهم شعب كان يعيش معنا على ارض مصر ولكنه كان فى الحقيقة يعيش فى الدول الاسكندنافية حيث السعادة المطلقة. هولاء الناس هم من اتوجه اليهم الآن.
اول واكثر ما يقوله الاخوة المصريون الاسكندنافيون هو: مفيش امن
هل كانت مصر تنعم بالأمن والأمان واختفى فجأة بسبب الثورة؟ كلا بالقطع. نحن الآن بلا شرطة وبلا أمن وكنا بلا أمن مع وجود الشرطة. نحن الآن فى وضع صريح من انعدام الأمن. الاخوة الاسكندنافيون بالطبع الذين يعبرون عن الدول السعيدة يرون ان الشرطة كانت موجودة وكانت تحمى. وانا اتفق معهم تماما فهذا هو الواقع فعلا فى بلادكم المصرية الاسكندنافية اما فى مصرنا الحبيبة فلا اتذكر ان ذهب احد الاشخاص ليبلغ عن سرقة شىء واسترده. ولنتذكر مشهد شوارع مصر ايام العيد وسعار التحرش الذى بالتأكيد يعبر عن مدى الامن الذى كنا نرفل فيه.
انا مسيحية مصرية ولن انسى شعورى يوم 6 يناير وانا متجهة للكنيسة لاصلى قداس العيد تحت تهديد السلاح. واعتقد ان كل من مر بهذا الموقف يشاركنى هذا الاحساس وكل اسكندرانى يشاركنى الاحساس بالخوف وكل مصرى يشاركنى الاحساس بالقلق بعد احداث راس السنة. عندما اذهب لاصلى ويكون شارع الكنيسة مغلق من الاتجاهين وعلىّ اظهار بطاقتى لامر فى الشارع – مجرد مرور - عندما ادخل كنيسة لاصلى لاجد بوابة الكترونية تفتشنى، فان التعبير الملائم عن الوضع لن يكون ابدا هو الأمن بل انعدام الامن. عندما تحتاج الكنائس لحراسة فهذا دليل على عدم الامن من الاساس.
بعد 4 ساعات من المظاهرات سقط نظام دولة بأكمله، هل هذا دليل على قوة النظام؟ مليون ونصف عسكرى امن اختفوا من الشوارع ومازالوا؟ هل هذا بسبب الثورة ام بسبب هشاشتهم التى ظهرت عيانا بيانا. اخوتنا الاسكندنافيون نسوا هذه اللحظات او يعتقدوا ان الوضع الحالى اسوا. ربما محقون فى ان الوضع الحالى اسوا وغير مقبول ولكن الحقيقة ان الوضع السابق لم يكن وضع اسكندنافى بالمرة. وعدم رجوع الشرطة لمواقعها حتى الآن اكبر دليل على ان من كنا نعتقد انهم الامن هم سبب انعدام الامن.
تعليقات السائحون على بلدنا تدور حول الزبالة والمرور والتحرش واطفال الشوارع. هل تلك التعليقات جديدة؟؟؟ هل تلك التعليقات مرتبطة بالثورة؟؟؟
وبعد كل هذا نكتشف ان الامن نفسه هو المسئول عن تدبير بعض من تلك الحوادث. ورغم ذلك مازال بعض الاخوة الاسكندنافيين يتكلمون عن الامن المفقود بدلا من محاسبة المسئولين عن انعدام الامن من الاساس.
ملحوظة اخيرة ماذا يمنع الشرطة ان تتواجد الآن؟ هل هناك من يمنعهم؟ هل الثورة هى التى تمنع شرطى المرور ان يقف فى اشارة الابراهيمية مثلا؟
نعدل بوصلة غضبنا بقى: اتجاه غضبنا ناحية النظام مش الثورة
ثانى الاقوال الاسكندنافية هى: خربتوا البلد
مرة اخرى ادعو هؤلاء الاسكندنافيين الى العودة لارض مصر الحبيبة. البلد اساسا مخروبة من ايام السادات. واتمنى ان تقرأوا كتاب جلال امين ماذا حدث للمصريين. عندما نسمع عن ثروات بالمليارات لكل عضو من اعضاء الوطنى او الحكومة البارزين وفى نفس ذات الوقت ترفض الحكومة تثبيت الآلاف من العاملين بعقود مؤقتة او تفرض الضريبة العقارية او تهدم التامين الصحى الذى هو ملاذ لملايين المصريين او تبيع الغاز لاسرائيل باقل من السعر العالمى وتصر على البيع رغم كل الازمات الداخلية فى الغاز فان خراب البلد لم يسببه من ثار بل من ثاروا عليه.
نعدل بوصلة غضبنا بقى: اتجاه غضبنا ناحية النظام مش الثورة
ثالث الاقوال الاسكندنافية هى: مظاهرات مظاهرات تعبنا بقى
بعض هذه المظاهرات تمت بتحريض من نواب الوطنى الذين يرفضون الاستسلام للامر الواقع ويريدون التغطية على ما فعلوه. هل نغضب من الثورة التى كشفت هؤلاء؟
وهناك مظاهرات اخرى بدأت منذ اكثر من عامين. لماذا لم ترفضونها وقتها؟ هل مظاهرات المحلة كانت مفاجأة مثلا؟
كما ان هناك من قام بمظاهرات من منطلق هما مش بييجوا الا بكده. مرة اخرى هل سنحاسب من اظهر النتيجة ام من قام بالفساد المسبب لتلك النتيجة؟ اذا كانت ظروف هؤلاء العمال طيبة ومناسبة منذ سنوات هل كانوا سيتظاهرون؟
ولكن الفرق وضح بين المظاهرات التى تعبر عن حاجة حقيقة وبين من يركب الموجة. عندما رفض الجيش استمرار المظاهرات وطلب مندوبين لمناقشته توقفت المظاهرات الفئوية فى اغلب المناطق.
نعدل بوصلة غضبنا بقى: اتجاه غضبنا ناحية النظام مش الثورة
رابع الاقوال الاسكندنافية: انا آسف يا ريس
بكل الصدق اتمنى فعلا ان ارى هؤلاء المصريون واعرف كل دقائق وخصوصيات حياتهم الاسكندنافية السعيدة. لابد وانهم تعلموا جميعا فى مدارس حكومية محترمة وتلقوا تعليما على اعلى مستوى وكلما مرض احدهم كان يجد الطبيب والعلاج باسعار مناسبة وعندما انهى تعليمه الجامعى وجد وظيفة مرموقة بمرتب مناسب بدون واسطة وبدون الحاجة الى كورسات كمبيوتر او لغة على اعتبار انه اساسا خريج افضل المدارس والجامعات على مستوى العالم. وعندما اراد ان يتزوج وجد شقة واسعة وبرحة فى منطقة هادئة تصلها كل المرافق بسعر يناسبه تماما و... ولسه مغمضين عينيهم وبيحلموا.
هل فعلا هؤلاء الاسكندنافيين شاركونا تعليمنا ومستشفياتنا واكلنا الملوث وهوائنا الملوث؟ ألم يقف احدهم مرة فى طابور خبز؟ لقد اصبحت مصر من اكبر مصدر قمح الى اكبر مستورد والرئيس المفدى هو من امر بهذا التحول على مدار اعوام. ألا يوجد شخص واحد فى عائلة ايا منهم مريض بالسرطان او الفشل الكلوى او الالتهاب الكبدى؟ مصر وبجدارة تحتل قائمة اعلى النسب عالميا فى عدد المصابين بتلك الامراض لقد تحولت الى اوبئة فى مصر. ومازالت قضية المبيدات المسرطنة مفتوحة. ألا يوجد شخص اسكندنافى سعيد من هؤلاء مر بموقف اضطره لدخول قسم شرطة؟ و..... لا تعليق
خامس الاقوال الاسكندنافية: الريس كويس اللى حواليه هما اللى وحشين – ما كان قعد الست شهور دول
ايها الاسكندنافيون الاعزاء هل يملك مبارك عصا سحرية؟ هل سيستطيع ان يصلح فى ستة شهور كل ما فسد فى عقود؟
سكرتير مكتبه خرج فى تصريحات ليقول ان مبارك كان يعد ابنه لخلافته منذ 1997 وكان لا يحب ان يقرا التقارير. الرئيس ذات نفسه له فيديو على يوتيوب يقول فيه هو انا حافر كل حاجة فى البلد .. كبر مخك.
هل هذا هو سلوك رئيس يشعر بالمسئولية وتستأمنوه. الرئيس هو من يختار معاونيه وعندما تصل اليه شكوى يأتى بلجنة لتحاسب من سمح بتسريب الشكوى الى مكتبه – حسب كلام سكرتير مكتبه. هل هذا رئيس صالح؟
هل فى مصركم الاسكندنافية كنتم ترون الرئيس وتكلمونه؟
سادس الاقوال الاسكندنافية: وائل غنيم ده خاين وماسونى وتيييييييييييت
هذا الجاسوس الرهيب الذى تفوق على لورانس العرب وخدع الجميع نسى ان يخلع التى شيرت الذى يحمل لوجو المنظمة الماسونية التى تحركه؟؟ ايه الخبل ده؟؟
وائل غنيم خائن؟ لا. بشهادة امن الدولة التى احتجزته لمدة 12 يوما وبشهادة الجيش الذى التقاه مع مجموعة من الشباب.
وائل غنيم بايخ رذل عايش الدور سايق فيها مفكر نفسه بطل قليل الذوق ......................؟ براحتك
ايها السادة الافاضل الاسكندنافيين الثورة فى مصر لا ترتبط فى مصر بشخص واحد فقط والا انتهت. وائل غنيم مجرد شخص، فى ايام الثورة ال18 كان بالمظاهرات 8 مليون شخص!!!!!!
اسهل خدعة ان نربط الثورة بشخص ونبدأ فى مهاجمة الشخص ليقع هذا الهجوم بالتبعية على الثورة. ان كان وائل غنيم اعظم انسان فى الوجود او احط انسان فى تاريخ البشرية فهذا لا علاقة له بالثورة مطلقا. الثورة ايها الاسكندنافيون الاعزاء هى احلامنا جميعا التى قتلها النظام السابق بفساده.
الجميع حزانى ويملأ صفحات الفيس بوك الصور والصلبان السوداء. وأتوقع ان يأتى يوم 10 يناير مثلا ويرجع فيه الفيس بوك منير ب"عمرو دياب حيقولك ايه النهاردة" و "نصايح ست ستوتة" وخلافه. وبعد 3 أشهر نكتشف فجأة ان هناك عيدا اخر يقترب ونعود للجو المشحون بالخوف الذى نعيشه ونتوقع هجمات وقنابل. ثم يمر العيد وتمر السنة كلها لنعيد الجرة من الجديد العام القادم وهكذا دواليك.
هل المشكلة حقا فى قنبلة تلقى على كنيسة؟؟؟
كل الناس تحلل الموقف من ايام السادات (وسنينه) ولكنى سأركز على فترة اقصر بل على فترة شديدة القصر: سأركز على اخر 10 ايام من السنة. تعالوا نقرأها بشكل مختلف.
تبدأ تلك الفترة بقرار الوزير بتحويل المدارس التجريبية لقومية. هذا القرار أراه مرتبط بشدة بما حدث لاحقا فى كنيسة القديسين. لقد قرر الوزير ان يحول رمز من رموز المدينة لمدرسة حكومية عادية. قرر ان يحول مصدر للفخر يشعر به كل طالب او طالبة ينتمى لتلك المدارس الى شىء يرفضه ويمقته. المدرسة التى تقضى فيها نصف عمرك تعادل فى وجدانك الوطن لانها المكان الذى تقضى فيه اغلب وقتك وتمارس فيه اغلب انشطتك. وقرار الوزير ينتزعك من هذا الرابط. ويقرر ان يفصلك من هذا الوطن ويحولك لشخص غاضب رافض لهذا الوطن. كما ان تعليق الوزير على المظاهرات كان أقوى صورة من صور هدم الوطن عندما قال ان ابناء المدرسة يرفضون تحويلها لتجريبية لانهم ابناء ناس كبار، الوزير يشرح باختصار ان الوطن للناس الكبار وان ابناء الناس العاديين لا وجود لهم وعليهم ان يقبلوا اى قرار (ويبوسوا ايديهم وش وضهر)
لم ينتهى مشهد تجريح الوطن الرمز لنفاجأ بمشهد اخر يُجرح فيه الوطن الفعلى عندما نرى جمعة الشوان البطل المصرى الذى لا يجد ثمن علاجه فضلا عن معاش يقوته. للحظة بعد قراءة الخبرين سألت نفسى ماذا بعد؟ عندما نهدم الرمز ثم نجرح الأبطال، ماذا سيحدث للوطن فعلا؟
وجاءت النتيجة فى الصفحة التالية باكتشاف جواسيس مصريين يعملون لصالح اسرائيل. وما يؤلم حقا ان الجاسوس الصينى ذهب للسفارة الاسرائيلية بقدميه.
شعور بالحنق والغضب ملأنى وكان فى عقلى جملة واحدة: انا اشعر بغربة فى هذا الوطن.
ولكن كنت مخطئة تماما ... "رعبٌ أكبرُ من هذا سوف يجىء" فالقادم أسوأ
ليلة رأس السنة تُفجر كنيسة !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
أدخل على النت لأتابع الأحداث لأفاجأ بفيديو 20 ثانية للعربة المحترقة وفى الخلفية شخص يكبر والباقى يصفرون. ثم تتوالى الفيديوهات والأخبار ويتبين مدى بشاعة وهول الموقف. ثم يظهر الجميع مسلمون ومسيحيون فى حالة فزع ورفض وغضب لما حدث. ولكنى لا استطيع نسيان الفيديو الاول. وأسأل نفسى لماذا يفرح شخص فى قتل اخر؟
ويمر اليوم الاول وتملأ الشاشات اخبار لاشتباكات بين المسلمين والمسيحين. وخبر صغير يقول ان القنبلة محلية الصنع. ويقتلنى سؤال اخر: لماذا يقرر مصرى ان يصنع قنبلة يقتل بها مصريين؟؟؟؟؟؟؟؟
ولكن فى لحظة صدق مع النفس أجد ان اى كلام او مبادرات او مسيرات صامتة لا تجدى. الحل فى الوطن الذى نُسلخ منه دون ارادتنا.
فحتى لو سلمنا بوجود تخطيط خارجى هذه المرة فلم يكن نجع حمادى او الكشح مثلا نتيجة تخطيط خارجى كما ان المنفذ قد يكون مصرى. لقد انتهى مفهوم "الوطن" عند بعض الناس وحل محله مفاهيم اخرى. لقد نشأ جيل لا يجد ما يربطه بـ"الوطن" اى شىء. فلا يهتم بمن هم فى الوطن. وطبعا لقد سبب ذلك سياسات تعود لفترات سابقة. النتيجة النهائية لها ان يغترب الجميع داخل مصر.
فى وسط كل تلك المعمعة أتمنى ان يكون هناك موقف موحد من الجميع على بعض النقاط:
1-الكشف عن الجناة فى تلك الجريمة ومحاكمتهم بسرعة، ومحاكمة كل المجرمين فى الجرائم الطائفية
(ياريت تطمنونا على الاخ الكمونى لو محتاج حاجة علشان المزاج او حاجة – والأبطال الأشاوس بتوع الكشح ياريت تقولولنا هما عاملين ايه دلوقتى – الأفاضل اللى خطفوا وضربوا رهبان ابو فانا ندعو الله ان يكونوا بألف صحة وألف خير - ..........)
2-اصدار قانون دور العبادة الموحد
3- محاكمة اى شخص يطلق تصريحات او شائعات طائفية تسبب هذا الشحن (ياريت الاخوة بتوع "الأسلحة فى الكنائس" يقولولنا هى فين علشان يظهر الكهنة مش عارفين يشغلوها ولا ايه؟ والاخوة بتوع "المسلمات الأسيرات" يقولولنا اخرة الهبل ده ايه؟ ما هما طلعوا وقالوا احنا مسيحين عايزين ايه تانى؟)
4- قانون طوارىء او قانون ارهاب (قانون مخطط ولا منقط ولا حتى ديكولتية) المهم ان يكون قانونا على الجميع وينفذ على الجميع، قانون لا يوجد فيه (ويستثنى من تلك المادة كل من .......... )
هناك احزاب وجماعات وجمعيات كثيرة تتحرك فى الشارع وتنظم مسيرات صامتة وخلافه، لا أرى اى جدوى من كل هذا لانه لا يتعامل مع المشكلة بل مع النتيجة. أتمنى ان تتبنى احدى الحركات الشعبية (اللى مالية البلد) او احد الاحزاب (اللى برضه ماليين البلد) ورقة بأهداف محددة مثلما ذكرت وبدلا من المسيرات الصامتة تكون مطالبات محددة.
بعض الناس يقترح مجموعات على الفيسبوك للبس اسود يوم العيد، وأنا أفزع من مثل هذا الكلام. فلنلبس أسود طول السنة ماعدا يومى العيد، هل أرفض الاحتفال بمجىء المخلص؟ هل أرفض الخلاص؟ هل أسمح للظلام ان يمنعنى من رؤية النور؟
فلنصل القداس ونلبس جديد فى جديد وبدلا من الاحتفالات فلنذهب لزيارة الضحايا المصابين وتعزية أهل الشهداء. كفانا أفعالا رمزية فلنقم بأفعال حقيقية مجدية.
وأتمنى للشباب المسيحى الثائر الذى يحتك بالأمن او بالمسلمين ان (يبطل غباوة بقى) المشكلة ليست فى الأمن او فى المسلمين المشكلة فى المجتمع كله الذى لا يحترم القانون. أرجو ان يوجهوا طاقتهم لحلول حقيقية ومطالبات واقعية بدلا من العبث الذى سيحول الموضوع من اعتداء الى مشاجرة.
I have this terrible experience with TEData years ago.
2 days ago I had the most surprising customer support service with Grooveshark.com.
Grooveshark is a website where you can login and create play lists for any western (and some few arabic) singers, and as long as you have an internet connection you can hear the millions and millions of songs for free and without the interruption of this provoking girl (tarab top).
there are 2 memberships, one is free and the other is the VIP (where you have to pay money), the only difference between both is a sidebar on the right where they put whatever advertisements they want.
the red rectangle:
Because of course I use the free membership, i have to see the sidebar, but some of ads where really unacceptable so I want to make a try with those people so I sent them this email:
HI,
I'm a dedicated user, it's been long time since my first time using grooveshark. for me it's the first tool i use in my work, i start the music before i do anything else. But i'm not a VIP, and honestly being a VIP will not be an option in the near future as i live in Egypt, and we still out of the PayPal paradise (sick). anyway, my problem is the IMVU ad you place in the sidebar. It's totally inappropriate for my taste, i know you have to put ads in the sidebar and i have no problem with any as long it's not nudity or something similar. can you make a form that give the user choices about the kind of ads he/she accept to see? or whatever other solution?
thank you for your understanding
next day i got this reply: I am happy to hear that you are enjoying GS. I just put 3 months of VIP on your account. Hopefully, this will help you enjoy it more.
and here how it looks like now
what happened is the admin went checking his database and found that my account is really OLD and checked my log files to see that i use the site probably 16hours/day (yes as long as my eyes and ears are open i need a background music) so he decided that even if i'm not paying anything and will not going to pay anything I still am a user that they need my satisfaction.
what a lesson to TEData people.
ناس محترمة
my credit card expired and i went to the bank to get the new one
it was a piece of cake, it only took me seconds to get my new one
HONESTLY
but i woke up from this dream when i start to using it, it doesn't work
i went back to the nice young smiling lady to tell her: it doesn't work, is there something that should be done to activate it or something?
she: yes of course, you should call the number wrote on the enveloppe, oh my god, didn't i tell you that??
me: no you didn't
she: well i'm sorry, you should call this number first to activate the card
me: why can't you activate it now using your computer to get to the system
she: i'm sorry i can't, well you know when you call you'll have to answer some private questions, so i can't do it for you
OMG: private!!!! how a bank ask private information more then what's already there, the bank is the only establishment in the world that know exactly where do you live, how much money you have, your the security number, your date of birth, place of birth, telephone numberssss, sometimes your relatives......?
what more private can it be?
i said to myself may be the questions will be the kind of: your first boyfriend's name, have you ever been kissed, what flavor of ice cream you prefer?
any way, i tried to call this 5 digital number and as expected it's has this unsuportable lady of:
جميع عملاؤنا مشغولون الآن بخدمة عملاء أخرين
so i waited .. waited .. redialed .. waited .. waited
and finally someone answered and asked me 3 questions:
1- number of the card
2- account
3- birth date
and then he said: the card is activate now, you can use in 2 hours
WHAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
that is it???
what was the private questions, i missed it: the card number or my birth date???
this information are already there on every bank form, the man didn't even ask for my name
can someone please explains to me the necessity of this call
the bank had hired people to ask the clients for their birth dates?? total waste of money and time
i guess some genius said that banks in Europe use a 5 digital phone number to offer more services to the clients and we should do that, obviously they did it without thinking about the usability of the process
AS a writer i like very much (Soliman Gouda) wrote once in almasry alyoum that the government always change the hardware only and not the software
meaning they rebuild the offices, install computers and high tech devices but the procedures are the exact same thing
an obvious example is (elbosta), they still use the paper cards that are there since the beginning of the millennium and then they check the account on the computer, and 70% of the time the network is down
Waste of time and money or as gouda said: changing the hardware not the software
I always find dealing with any governmental department a nightmare
sometimes things turned out good and i finish my paper in a quick decent amount of time and sometime i just gave up and leave
BUT some people go to the extreme behavior and give the employees what they deserve: HARD TIME
i was in a place to issue a certificate, a lady enter the facility and started to argue with 2 staff women about her papers, they (so calmly) told her that they can do nothing for her, and that her paper was already processed and stop coming asking about it
what she did was BOLD
she said: OK, i'll shoot you with my mobile and send it to the minister and all the talk shows.
and she did; she took her mobile and opened the camera and shoot everyone in the office and said in a loud voice those people refused to finish my papers.
SO guess what happened?
the office principal called the head of security and told him to confiscate the mobile, the woman refused, so they negotiate ..........
the head of security pushed the offices staff to finish her papers and in return she'll delete the movie she recorded on her mobile.
and they did
SO people now in any governmental office have a scarecrow called TALK SHOW.
what the woman did was bold in my judgment and it shows the great effects of the stupid (my opinion) talk shows in the community
they weren't intimidate when she said she'll file a complain to the minister, but when she said she'll send the movie to the shows
that's an enormous problem because, the talk show in a way represent the society supervision but the truth is that non of the talk show hosts are honest or fair when discussing any issue (ALL OF THEM)
so should we giving the monster the tools to destroy us? or start first taming it?
can someone explains to me why the hell a 13 years old girl will want to buy an earrings like those: NAZI symbol, playboy magazine symbol, nike symbol, jaguar symbol, ... etc?????????????
these earrings are sold in 13 shop @ carrefour it's ignorance or lack of responsibility from the shop owners to sell these stuff to kids
a friend sent me this link, it's a photography competition held by TEData coool, right? Absolutely NOT when i checked the competition rules, i found out some "pleasant" ones: يحق لشركة "نهضة مصر للصحافة والإعلام" استخدام الصور بأى شكل كان بعد تلقيها من المتسابقين دون أن يكون عليها أى التزامات.. ولن يتم إعادة الصور إلى المشاركين بعد انتهاء المسابقة.
يحق لشركة "نهضة مصر للصحافة والإعلام" تعديل أى شرط من شروط المسابقة بدون إبداء أية أسباب وفى أى وقت تراه .
this is Unethical, it means i take a picture send it to a competition, probably don't win a thing and then they 'll use my picture without the need of my permission in any and every medium they want !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! there's an invention in the world these days called "حقوق الملكية الفكرية / copyright" COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!! this organization is a governmental one, they should be the one to obey the law not to break it.
what if someone, took my picture put his name or watermark on it and sell it online or offline, how they will prevent that from happening selling your picture online is very profitable if you have the quality pictures, check the list

Colors are one major tool humans use to express themselves, thoughts, ideas, entities, ... etc In Egypt we are bad with colors. walking in the streets, you will find one color dominates, and it's not a nice color at all ... SILVER the street lamps are silver/black, the new big veolia trash cans are silver, lot of shops sign, TVs, receivers, shopping cart in carrefour, shelves in malls, ...
stop at any mobile shop and step 2 steps back and take a whole look at the shop window, it's ALL SILVER plus some black/ metallic take a look at the online store for elshennawy
have you noticed the cars: the new models are all in silver, when asking a car salesman: what are the colors available for this mode? silver of course and gold and red and silver and.. ehh white and silver and gold and ah ... aha the black will cost you more of course
It's not really bronze it's silver apparently we use silver to describe the "new" "modern" "rich" "high tech" check any gadget and see the available colors: SILVER metalic even airports, check this, (It's a client)
BUT WHY? why the extensive use of the silver color to express the modern, high tech in the 70s when the space movies disease started, it was all in silver: the space ships, the equipments, the buildings, and of course there were other colors used but not to describe the heroes of the movies as usual we copied the idea and then stopped, the 70's era ended and we still stand on the same point modern, hightech= silver THEY (fi Europe we eldwal elmotakadema) evolved to the multicolor era, space movies are in colors now as you can see posters of some of (2008/2009) but still other movies in silver check the whole list of the space movies
the point is the lack of imagination status that is controled the society, i don't want to have a silver mobile, silver TV, silver receiver, silver car, i want colors but i can't simply because there is not any. it's how a bad taste or one taste dominates.
ونظل نربى الكلاب فى الشقة والفراخ فى المنور والأطفال فى الشارع، وندخل القرن الواحد والعشرين من ناحية بتاع العصير، وينشغل العالم بالطاقة الذرية وننشغل بالبطاقة التموينية.. برضه جلال عامر فى المصرى اليوم
This post is to record a moment in history: I think the speech is too good to be true only time will tell, was it true or some political maneuver
I am honored to be in the timeless city of Cairo, and to be hosted by two remarkable institutions. For over a thousand years, Al-Azhar has stood as a beacon of Islamic learning, and for over a century, Cairo University has been a source of Egypt's advancement. Together, you represent the harmony between tradition and progress. I am grateful for your hospitality, and the hospitality of the people of Egypt. I am also proud to carry with me the goodwill of the American people, and a greeting of peace from Muslim communities in my country: assalaamu alaykum.
We meet at a time of tension between the United States and Muslims around the world - tension rooted in historical forces that go beyond any current policy debate. The relationship between Islam and the West includes centuries of co-existence and cooperation, but also conflict and religious wars. More recently, tension has been fed by colonialism that denied rights and opportunities to many Muslims, and a Cold War in which Muslim-majority countries were too often treated as proxies without regard to their own aspirations. Moreover, the sweeping change brought by modernity and globalization led many Muslims to view the West as hostile to the traditions of Islam.
Violent extremists have exploited these tensions in a small but potent minority of Muslims. The attacks of September 11th, 2001 and the continued efforts of these extremists to engage in violence against civilians has led some in my country to view Islam as inevitably hostile not only to America and Western countries, but also to human rights. This has bred more fear and mistrust.
So long as our relationship is defined by our differences, we will empower those who sow hatred rather than peace, and who promote conflict rather than the cooperation that can help all of our people achieve justice and prosperity. This cycle of suspicion and discord must end.
I have come here to seek a new beginning between the United States and Muslims around the world; one based upon mutual interest and mutual respect; and one based upon the truth that America and Islam are not exclusive, and need not be in competition. Instead, they overlap, and share common principles - principles of justice and progress; tolerance and the dignity of all human beings.
I do so recognizing that change cannot happen overnight. No single speech can eradicate years of mistrust, nor can I answer in the time that I have all the complex questions that brought us to this point. But I am convinced that in order to move forward, we must say openly the things we hold in our hearts, and that too often are said only behind closed doors. There must be a sustained effort to listen to each other; to learn from each other; to respect one another; and to seek common ground. As the Holy Koran tells us, "Be conscious of God and speak always the truth." That is what I will try to do - to speak the truth as best I can, humbled by the task before us, and firm in my belief that the interests we share as human beings are far more powerful than the forces that drive us apart.
Part of this conviction is rooted in my own experience. I am a Christian, but my father came from a Kenyan family that includes generations of Muslims. As a boy, I spent several years in Indonesia and heard the call of the azaan at the break of dawn and the fall of dusk. As a young man, I worked in Chicago communities where many found dignity and peace in their Muslim faith.
As a student of history, I also know civilization's debt to Islam. It was Islam - at places like Al-Azhar University - that carried the light of learning through so many centuries, paving the way for Europe's Renaissance and Enlightenment. It was innovation in Muslim communities that developed the order of algebra; our magnetic compass and tools of navigation; our mastery of pens and printing; our understanding of how disease spreads and how it can be healed. Islamic culture has given us majestic arches and soaring spires; timeless poetry and cherished music; elegant calligraphy and places of peaceful contemplation. And throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality.
I know, too, that Islam has always been a part of America's story. The first nation to recognize my country was Morocco. In signing the Treaty of Tripoli in 1796, our second President John Adams wrote, "The United States has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, religion or tranquility of Muslims." And since our founding, American Muslims have enriched the United States. They have fought in our wars, served in government, stood for civil rights, started businesses, taught at our Universities, excelled in our sports arenas, won Nobel Prizes, built our tallest building, and lit the Olympic Torch. And when the first Muslim-American was recently elected to Congress, he took the oath to defend our Constitution using the same Holy Koran that one of our Founding Fathers - Thomas Jefferson - kept in his personal library.
So I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn't. And I consider it part of my responsibility as President of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.
But that same principle must apply to Muslim perceptions of America. Just as Muslims do not fit a crude stereotype, America is not the crude stereotype of a self-interested empire. The United States has been one of the greatest sources of progress that the world has ever known. We were born out of revolution against an empire. We were founded upon the ideal that all are created equal, and we have shed blood and struggled for centuries to give meaning to those words - within our borders, and around the world. We are shaped by every culture, drawn from every end of the Earth, and dedicated to a simple concept: E pluribus unum: "Out of many, one."
Much has been made of the fact that an African-American with the name Barack Hussein Obama could be elected President. But my personal story is not so unique. The dream of opportunity for all people has not come true for everyone in America, but its promise exists for all who come to our shores - that includes nearly seven million American Muslims in our country today who enjoy incomes and education that are higher than average.
Moreover, freedom in America is indivisible from the freedom to practice one's religion. That is why there is a mosque in every state of our union, and over 1,200 mosques within our borders. That is why the U.S. government has gone to court to protect the right of women and girls to wear the hijab, and to punish those who would deny it.
So let there be no doubt: Islam is a part of America. And I believe that America holds within her the truth that regardless of race, religion, or station in life, all of us share common aspirations - to live in peace and security; to get an education and to work with dignity; to love our families, our communities, and our God. These things we share. This is the hope of all humanity.
Of course, recognizing our common humanity is only the beginning of our task. Words alone cannot meet the needs of our people. These needs will be met only if we act boldly in the years ahead; and if we understand that the challenges we face are shared, and our failure to meet them will hurt us all.
For we have learned from recent experience that when a financial system weakens in one country, prosperity is hurt everywhere. When a new flu infects one human being, all are at risk. When one nation pursues a nuclear weapon, the risk of nuclear attack rises for all nations. When violent extremists operate in one stretch of mountains, people are endangered across an ocean. And when innocents in Bosnia and Darfur are slaughtered, that is a stain on our collective conscience. That is what it means to share this world in the 21st century. That is the responsibility we have to one another as human beings.
This is a difficult responsibility to embrace. For human history has often been a record of nations and tribes subjugating one another to serve their own interests. Yet in this new age, such attitudes are self-defeating. Given our interdependence, any world order that elevates one nation or group of people over another will inevitably fail. So whatever we think of the past, we must not be prisoners of it. Our problems must be dealt with through partnership; progress must be shared.
That does not mean we should ignore sources of tension. Indeed, it suggests the opposite: we must face these tensions squarely. And so in that spirit, let me speak as clearly and plainly as I can about some specific issues that I believe we must finally confront together.
The first issue that we have to confront is violent extremism in all of its forms.
In Ankara, I made clear that America is not - and never will be - at war with Islam. We will, however, relentlessly confront violent extremists who pose a grave threat to our security. Because we reject the same thing that people of all faiths reject: the killing of innocent men, women, and children. And it is my first duty as President to protect the American people.
The situation in Afghanistan demonstrates America's goals, and our need to work together. Over seven years ago, the United States pursued al Qaeda and the Taliban with broad international support. We did not go by choice, we went because of necessity. I am aware that some question or justify the events of 9/11. But let us be clear: al Qaeda killed nearly 3,000 people on that day. The victims were innocent men, women and children from America and many other nations who had done nothing to harm anybody. And yet Al Qaeda chose to ruthlessly murder these people, claimed credit for the attack, and even now states their determination to kill on a massive scale. They have affiliates in many countries and are trying to expand their reach. These are not opinions to be debated; these are facts to be dealt with.
Make no mistake: we do not want to keep our troops in Afghanistan. We seek no military bases there. It is agonizing for America to lose our young men and women. It is costly and politically difficult to continue this conflict. We would gladly bring every single one of our troops home if we could be confident that there were not violent extremists in Afghanistan and Pakistan determined to kill as many Americans as they possibly can. But that is not yet the case.
That's why we're partnering with a coalition of forty-six countries. And despite the costs involved, America's commitment will not weaken. Indeed, none of us should tolerate these extremists. They have killed in many countries. They have killed people of different faiths - more than any other, they have killed Muslims. Their actions are irreconcilable with the rights of human beings, the progress of nations, and with Islam. The Holy Koran teaches that whoever kills an innocent, it is as if he has killed all mankind; and whoever saves a person, it is as if he has saved all mankind. The enduring faith of over a billion people is so much bigger than the narrow hatred of a few. Islam is not part of the problem in combating violent extremism - it is an important part of promoting peace.
We also know that military power alone is not going to solve the problems in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That is why we plan to invest $1.5 billion each year over the next five years to partner with Pakistanis to build schools and hospitals, roads and businesses, and hundreds of millions to help those who have been displaced. And that is why we are providing more than $2.8 billion to help Afghans develop their economy and deliver services that people depend upon.
Let me also address the issue of Iraq. Unlike Afghanistan, Iraq was a war of choice that provoked strong differences in my country and around the world. Although I believe that the Iraqi people are ultimately better off without the tyranny of Saddam Hussein, I also believe that events in Iraq have reminded America of the need to use diplomacy and build international consensus to resolve our problems whenever possible. Indeed, we can recall the words of Thomas Jefferson, who said: "I hope that our wisdom will grow with our power, and teach us that the less we use our power the greater it will be."
Today, America has a dual responsibility: to help Iraq forge a better future - and to leave Iraq to Iraqis. I have made it clear to the Iraqi people that we pursue no bases, and no claim on their territory or resources. Iraq's sovereignty is its own. That is why I ordered the removal of our combat brigades by next August. That is why we will honor our agreement with Iraq's democratically-elected government to remove combat troops from Iraqi cities by July, and to remove all our troops from Iraq by 2012. We will help Iraq train its Security Forces and develop its economy. But we will support a secure and united Iraq as a partner, and never as a patron.
And finally, just as America can never tolerate violence by extremists, we must never alter our principles. 9/11 was an enormous trauma to our country. The fear and anger that it provoked was understandable, but in some cases, it led us to act contrary to our ideals. We are taking concrete actions to change course. I have unequivocally prohibited the use of torture by the United States, and I have ordered the prison at Guantanamo Bay closed by early next year.
So America will defend itself respectful of the sovereignty of nations and the rule of law. And we will do so in partnership with Muslim communities which are also threatened. The sooner the extremists are isolated and unwelcome in Muslim communities, the sooner we will all be safer.
The second major source of tension that we need to discuss is the situation between Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab world.
America's strong bonds with Israel are well known. This bond is unbreakable. It is based upon cultural and historical ties, and the recognition that the aspiration for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that cannot be denied.
Around the world, the Jewish people were persecuted for centuries, and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented Holocaust. Tomorrow, I will visit Buchenwald, which was part of a network of camps where Jews were enslaved, tortured, shot and gassed to death by the Third Reich. Six million Jews were killed - more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. Denying that fact is baseless, ignorant, and hateful. Threatening Israel with destruction - or repeating vile stereotypes about Jews - is deeply wrong, and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis this most painful of memories while preventing the peace that the people of this region deserve.
On the other hand, it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people - Muslims and Christians - have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than sixty years they have endured the pain of dislocation. Many wait in refugee camps in the West Bank, Gaza, and neighboring lands for a life of peace and security that they have never been able to lead. They endure the daily humiliations - large and small - that come with occupation. So let there be no doubt: the situation for the Palestinian people is intolerable. America will not turn our backs on the legitimate Palestinian aspiration for dignity, opportunity, and a state of their own.
For decades, there has been a stalemate: two peoples with legitimate aspirations, each with a painful history that makes compromise elusive. It is easy to point fingers - for Palestinians to point to the displacement brought by Israel's founding, and for Israelis to point to the constant hostility and attacks throughout its history from within its borders as well as beyond. But if we see this conflict only from one side or the other, then we will be blind to the truth: the only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security.
That is in Israel's interest, Palestine's interest, America's interest, and the world's interest. That is why I intend to personally pursue this outcome with all the patience that the task requires. The obligations that the parties have agreed to under the Road Map are clear. For peace to come, it is time for them - and all of us - to live up to our responsibilities.
Palestinians must abandon violence. Resistance through violence and killing is wrong and does not succeed. For centuries, black people in America suffered the lash of the whip as slaves and the humiliation of segregation. But it was not violence that won full and equal rights. It was a peaceful and determined insistence upon the ideals at the center of America's founding. This same story can be told by people from South Africa to South Asia; from Eastern Europe to Indonesia. It's a story with a simple truth: that violence is a dead end. It is a sign of neither courage nor power to shoot rockets at sleeping children, or to blow up old women on a bus. That is not how moral authority is claimed; that is how it is surrendered.
Now is the time for Palestinians to focus on what they can build. The Palestinian Authority must develop its capacity to govern, with institutions that serve the needs of its people. Hamas does have support among some Palestinians, but they also have responsibilities. To play a role in fulfilling Palestinian aspirations, and to unify the Palestinian people, Hamas must put an end to violence, recognize past agreements, and recognize Israel's right to exist.
At the same time, Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel's right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine's. The United States does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements. This construction violates previous agreements and undermines efforts to achieve peace. It is time for these settlements to stop.
Israel must also live up to its obligations to ensure that Palestinians can live, and work, and develop their society. And just as it devastates Palestinian families, the continuing humanitarian crisis in Gaza does not serve Israel's security; neither does the continuing lack of opportunity in the West Bank. Progress in the daily lives of the Palestinian people must be part of a road to peace, and Israel must take concrete steps to enable such progress.
Finally, the Arab States must recognize that the Arab Peace Initiative was an important beginning, but not the end of their responsibilities. The Arab-Israeli conflict should no longer be used to distract the people of Arab nations from other problems. Instead, it must be a cause for action to help the Palestinian people develop the institutions that will sustain their state; to recognize Israel's legitimacy; and to choose progress over a self-defeating focus on the past.
America will align our policies with those who pursue peace, and say in public what we say in private to Israelis and Palestinians and Arabs. We cannot impose peace. But privately, many Muslims recognize that Israel will not go away. Likewise, many Israelis recognize the need for a Palestinian state. It is time for us to act on what everyone knows to be true.
Too many tears have flowed. Too much blood has been shed. All of us have a responsibility to work for the day when the mothers of Israelis and Palestinians can see their children grow up without fear; when the Holy Land of three great faiths is the place of peace that God intended it to be; when Jerusalem is a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims, and a place for all of the children of Abraham to mingle peacefully together as in the story of Isra, when Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed (peace be upon them) joined in prayer.
The third source of tension is our shared interest in the rights and responsibilities of nations on nuclear weapons.
This issue has been a source of tension between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran. For many years, Iran has defined itself in part by its opposition to my country, and there is indeed a tumultuous history between us. In the middle of the Cold War, the United States played a role in the overthrow of a democratically-elected Iranian government. Since the Islamic Revolution, Iran has played a role in acts of hostage-taking and violence against U.S. troops and civilians. This history is well known. Rather than remain trapped in the past, I have made it clear to Iran's leaders and people that my country is prepared to move forward. The question, now, is not what Iran is against, but rather what future it wants to build.
It will be hard to overcome decades of mistrust, but we will proceed with courage, rectitude and resolve. There will be many issues to discuss between our two countries, and we are willing to move forward without preconditions on the basis of mutual respect. But it is clear to all concerned that when it comes to nuclear weapons, we have reached a decisive point. This is not simply about America's interests. It is about preventing a nuclear arms race in the Middle East that could lead this region and the world down a hugely dangerous path.
I understand those who protest that some countries have weapons that others do not. No single nation should pick and choose which nations hold nuclear weapons. That is why I strongly reaffirmed America's commitment to seek a world in which no nations hold nuclear weapons. And any nation - including Iran - should have the right to access peaceful nuclear power if it complies with its responsibilities under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. That commitment is at the core of the Treaty, and it must be kept for all who fully abide by it. And I am hopeful that all countries in the region can share in this goal.
The fourth issue that I will address is democracy.
I know there has been controversy about the promotion of democracy in recent years, and much of this controversy is connected to the war in Iraq. So let me be clear: no system of government can or should be imposed upon one nation by any other.
That does not lessen my commitment, however, to governments that reflect the will of the people. Each nation gives life to this principle in its own way, grounded in the traditions of its own people. America does not presume to know what is best for everyone, just as we would not presume to pick the outcome of a peaceful election. But I do have an unyielding belief that all people yearn for certain things: the ability to speak your mind and have a say in how you are governed; confidence in the rule of law and the equal administration of justice; government that is transparent and doesn't steal from the people; the freedom to live as you choose. Those are not just American ideas, they are human rights, and that is why we will support them everywhere.
There is no straight line to realize this promise. But this much is clear: governments that protect these rights are ultimately more stable, successful and secure. Suppressing ideas never succeeds in making them go away. America respects the right of all peaceful and law-abiding voices to be heard around the world, even if we disagree with them. And we will welcome all elected, peaceful governments - provided they govern with respect for all their people.
This last point is important because there are some who advocate for democracy only when they are out of power; once in power, they are ruthless in suppressing the rights of others. No matter where it takes hold, government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who hold power: you must maintain your power through consent, not coercion; you must respect the rights of minorities, and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise; you must place the interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy.
The fifth issue that we must address together is religious freedom.
Islam has a proud tradition of tolerance. We see it in the history of Andalusia and Cordoba during the Inquisition. I saw it firsthand as a child in Indonesia, where devout Christians worshiped freely in an overwhelmingly Muslim country. That is the spirit we need today. People in every country should be free to choose and live their faith based upon the persuasion of the mind, heart, and soul. This tolerance is essential for religion to thrive, but it is being challenged in many different ways.
Among some Muslims, there is a disturbing tendency to measure one's own faith by the rejection of another's. The richness of religious diversity must be upheld - whether it is for Maronites in Lebanon or the Copts in Egypt. And fault lines must be closed among Muslims as well, as the divisions between Sunni and Shia have led to tragic violence, particularly in Iraq.
Freedom of religion is central to the ability of peoples to live together. We must always examine the ways in which we protect it. For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation. That is why I am committed to working with American Muslims to ensure that they can fulfill zakat.
Likewise, it is important for Western countries to avoid impeding Muslim citizens from practicing religion as they see fit - for instance, by dictating what clothes a Muslim woman should wear. We cannot disguise hostility towards any religion behind the pretence of liberalism.
Indeed, faith should bring us together. That is why we are forging service projects in America that bring together Christians, Muslims, and Jews. That is why we welcome efforts like Saudi Arabian King Abdullah's Interfaith dialogue and Turkey's leadership in the Alliance of Civilizations. Around the world, we can turn dialogue into Interfaith service, so bridges between peoples lead to action - whether it is combating malaria in Africa, or providing relief after a natural disaster.
The sixth issue that I want to address is women's rights.
I know there is debate about this issue. I reject the view of some in the West that a woman who chooses to cover her hair is somehow less equal, but I do believe that a woman who is denied an education is denied equality. And it is no coincidence that countries where women are well-educated are far more likely to be prosperous.
Now let me be clear: issues of women's equality are by no means simply an issue for Islam. In Turkey, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Indonesia, we have seen Muslim-majority countries elect a woman to lead. Meanwhile, the struggle for women's equality continues in many aspects of American life, and in countries around the world.
Our daughters can contribute just as much to society as our sons, and our common prosperity will be advanced by allowing all humanity - men and women - to reach their full potential. I do not believe that women must make the same choices as men in order to be equal, and I respect those women who choose to live their lives in traditional roles. But it should be their choice. That is why the United States will partner with any Muslim-majority country to support expanded literacy for girls, and to help young women pursue employment through micro-financing that helps people live their dreams.
Finally, I want to discuss economic development and opportunity.
I know that for many, the face of globalization is contradictory. The Internet and television can bring knowledge and information, but also offensive sexuality and mindless violence. Trade can bring new wealth and opportunities, but also huge disruptions and changing communities. In all nations - including my own - this change can bring fear. Fear that because of modernity we will lose of control over our economic choices, our politics, and most importantly our identities - those things we most cherish about our communities, our families, our traditions, and our faith.
But I also know that human progress cannot be denied. There need not be contradiction between development and tradition. Countries like Japan and South Korea grew their economies while maintaining distinct cultures. The same is true for the astonishing progress within Muslim-majority countries from Kuala Lumpur to Dubai. In ancient times and in our times, Muslim communities have been at the forefront of innovation and education.
This is important because no development strategy can be based only upon what comes out of the ground, nor can it be sustained while young people are out of work. Many Gulf States have enjoyed great wealth as a consequence of oil, and some are beginning to focus it on broader development. But all of us must recognize that education and innovation will be the currency of the 21st century, and in too many Muslim communities there remains underinvestment in these areas. I am emphasizing such investments within my country. And while America in the past has focused on oil and gas in this part of the world, we now seek a broader engagement.
On education, we will expand exchange programs, and increase scholarships, like the one that brought my father to America, while encouraging more Americans to study in Muslim communities. And we will match promising Muslim students with internships in America; invest in on-line learning for teachers and children around the world; and create a new online network, so a teenager in Kansas can communicate instantly with a teenager in Cairo.
On economic development, we will create a new corps of business volunteers to partner with counterparts in Muslim-majority countries. And I will host a Summit on Entrepreneurship this year to identify how we can deepen ties between business leaders, foundations and social entrepreneurs in the United States and Muslim communities around the world.
On science and technology, we will launch a new fund to support technological development in Muslim-majority countries, and to help transfer ideas to the marketplace so they can create jobs. We will open centers of scientific excellence in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia, and appoint new Science Envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, and grow new crops. And today I am announcing a new global effort with the Organization of the Islamic Conference to eradicate polio. And we will also expand partnerships with Muslim communities to promote child and maternal health.
All these things must be done in partnership. Americans are ready to join with citizens and governments; community organizations, religious leaders, and businesses in Muslim communities around the world to help our people pursue a better life.
The issues that I have described will not be easy to address. But we have a responsibility to join together on behalf of the world we seek - a world where extremists no longer threaten our people, and American troops have come home; a world where Israelis and Palestinians are each secure in a state of their own, and nuclear energy is used for peaceful purposes; a world where governments serve their citizens, and the rights of all God's children are respected. Those are mutual interests. That is the world we seek. But we can only achieve it together.
I know there are many - Muslim and non-Muslim - who question whether we can forge this new beginning. Some are eager to stoke the flames of division, and to stand in the way of progress. Some suggest that it isn't worth the effort - that we are fated to disagree, and civilizations are doomed to clash. Many more are simply skeptical that real change can occur. There is so much fear, so much mistrust. But if we choose to be bound by the past, we will never move forward. And I want to particularly say this to young people of every faith, in every country - you, more than anyone, have the ability to remake this world.
All of us share this world for but a brief moment in time. The question is whether we spend that time focused on what pushes us apart, or whether we commit ourselves to an effort - a sustained effort - to find common ground, to focus on the future we seek for our children, and to respect the dignity of all human beings.
It is easier to start wars than to end them. It is easier to blame others than to look inward; to see what is different about someone than to find the things we share. But we should choose the right path, not just the easy path. There is also one rule that lies at the heart of every religion - that we do unto others as we would have them do unto us. This truth transcends nations and peoples - a belief that isn't new; that isn't black or white or brown; that isn't Christian, or Muslim or Jew. It's a belief that pulsed in the cradle of civilization, and that still beats in the heart of billions. It's a faith in other people, and it's what brought me here today.
We have the power to make the world we seek, but only if we have the courage to make a new beginning, keeping in mind what has been written.
The Holy Koran tells us, "O mankind! We have created you male and a female; and we have made you into nations and tribes so that you may know one another."
The Talmud tells us: "The whole of the Torah is for the purpose of promoting peace."
The Holy Bible tells us, "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God."
The people of the world can live together in peace. We know that is God's vision. Now, that must be our work here on Earth. Thank you. And may God's peace be upon you.

كل واحد فاز بجائزة أو نجح فى حل الكلمات المتقاطعة نعرض عليه المنصب.. نفس العقلية المصرية التى تقدم المنصب لصاحب ثورة أو صاحب قرار أو صاحب جائزة أو حتى صاحب صاحبه دون نضال سياسى طويل أو انتخابات حقيقية.. لذلك عندنا البرلمان يناقش الجلابية والحجاب، بينما الأزهر يراقب الأعمال الأدبية، والثقافة تستخرج تراخيص الراقصات، ووزارة الأوقاف تؤجر الشقق، والداخلية تبيع العيش، والبترول تستكشف المواهب الكروية وهى نفس العقلية التى جعلتنا نكتشف حجر رشيد محمد رشيد ونرشحه للوزارة.. جلال عامر فى المصرى اليوم
last week, my sister and i had to go to the post office to make (power of attorneys) for each other the process was too simple, that i thought at first i'll fill a form to name my sister as my agent (i don't know is't the right word in english), and my sister 'll fill a form to name me as her agent SIMPLE well .... NO it's not like that at all, first you have to bring your own forms with you: the officer said:" take these forms and go photocopy it and come back" so the post office have ONE copy of the forms and who dares to use it has to photocopy it from outside second you have to sit and be quiet yes, the officer sit with the forms on his desk and our IDs, and kept looking at it to remember what he should do exactly he filled about 4 forms, each has 3 data fields exactly (name, address, ID number) THAT IS IT he took more then half an hour writing 2 names, 2 address, 2 ID number twice but this isn't everything we were sitting next to the guy looking to his face, he had a face of a man in trouble, this was a hard task and difficult for him he kept checking, double checking, triple checking from the data he wrote and when other employers came and asked him for instructions he screamed CAN'T U C I'M BUSY !!!!!!!!! busy with what????? the job with thinkless task if i can say that, he only fill the form with data in front of his eyes P.S: he wasn't just any officer he was the branch manager it's a complicated job that needs the boss to do it LOL the officers who deal directly with the public, take money and give money, they have one of the mentaly hard jobs ever I admire their work (the cashiers, the bank or post people, .... ) but filling a form isn't that hard at all remember when they announced that the post office is renewed totally and now anyone can put and withdraw money from any branch this turned to be a joke while sitting waiting for our forms to be filled, one employer came to the boss telling him that there's a person who wants to withdraw money from his account in another post office do u know what they did???????? they called the other post office asking: is Mr. X has 000000 LE in his account as it shown in his account do u believe this ??????????????????? the office is full of computers and they don't have a network system? they didn't check the system they CALLED BY PHONE what if the account is in another city? will they call Asswan to check the account?????????? it's a joke i can't believe it after the great mission is done, i remembered that last year i went to a job fair where the post office was represented by .................... " ENGLISH WOMAN" yes English woman an english woman was standing in the stand talking about the great development in the EPS, and how things will be different now but no, this is like what a writer called (Ma'moun Fendy) wrote once: the government development is in the hardware not the software it means they change the wall painting and the chairs, desks ... etc but not the rules they work by new computers without a real system
أنا أراهن على الطبقة الوسطى وهى موجودة، فأى مواطن تعلم لمدة 16 سنة، المفترض أن يعيش حياة كريمة، أى تقريبا 4 آلاف جنيه، وإذا لم أحقق ذلك، فقد خسرت الطبقة الوسطى، وبالتالى فقرار وجود هذه الطبقة قرار سياسى وليس اقتصاديا.
