First I really enjoyed Yesterday el-Bitbatik guests especially Mohammed Sobhi What he said about the Crab in the media from national Unity ,we are together ,we love each other and to the end ,of course I am talking the Muslim-Christian relations in Egypt
No one denies it is in worst levels ever now except the government's media
First the Christian play ,I didn't see it but I read its description in the Dostor Newspaper, a respectable one not a tabloid like El-Midan
Yes there is an Insult that I felt against the Islam and its holy book , as i read and understand 'did't see it yet' It uses the terrorist groups to say Our religion is better yours is Nothing
I repeat again I didn't see it depends on the description in El-Dostor which I trust its integrity
I didn't like the Church statement saying it is just like Adel Emam and Wahid Hamad's movie'The terrorist'
I am sorry both Eman and Hamed are Muslims and in the movie they didn't made fun from the core of Islam ,from The holy Quarn saying that no one understands it and it has just musical rhythm!!!!!!!!!
The play is made to insult the Islam under the cover of fighting radicalism
I guess those who made it are radical Christians ,it is okay as we have the samething on the other side
I guess this can end with an apology from the Pope and that is the only request , it is civilized request with a civilized answer
I disagree with the smashing and stubbing that happened in the last couple of days yet I read some reports in Online newspapers like El-masryon that the security arrested some radical Christians were printing some publications insulting the Islam making it tough , an alexandiran friend described the situation there as it couldn't be explained
People The situation need stand
and I wish the Christian outside Egypt Mr.Abadir and Co. Stop spreading lies , people inside Egypt don't want this division , this oppression talk about kidnapping Christian girls and force them on Islam ..Etc to this incident isn't helping anyone
The talk is not finished and it mustn't finish now at any cost
Saying Sorry doesn't harm
The Curtains shouldn't come down now
We should discuss it , this division mustn't be let alone
Zeinobia,
ReplyDeleteThe Christian-Egyptians have the same right to think that Islam is a bad religion as your right to think that their religion has been corrupted.
Please do not get me wrong in this super-sensitive topic!
What I am saying is that you are a muslim for a reason and they are christian for a reason! The reason in both cases is that you think your religion is right and the others are wrong.
So it should be expected that Egyptian Copts feel bad about Islam. It is our job as muslims to explain to them how good Islam is truly is.
I do not think you should blame them for making a play (a form in expression) to express their thoughts about Islam to be shown in their own church to their own members.
The only blame is actually for those members of the church who put the play on CDs and start distributing it outside the church.
Even this event, although it is not what a good neighbour would do to his life-long neighbour and friend, it is still could be defended in the west as freedom of expression.
We the Egyptians however, know and expect better from each others. We expect each other to disagree in peace like would we did for almost 1400 years and not to shout in the face of each other: "Your religion sucks!"
So I as a muslim Egyptian would not ask the Christian Egyptians to think that Islam is a good religion but I would ask them to keep their openion about Islam inside thier church. Once more I know that could be considered as restriction of freedome of speech in the west but in Egypt this is called "3asham = ???? " Do you know how to to ranslate this into English!
You got a point here indeed ,in the West it is nothing to insult others religion , For God Sake Jesus is insulted on televisions in Europe Day and Night by rock stars and other Manics
ReplyDeletebut this is freedom of Speech Good or admirable ?
No , it is rudeness
Yes you are also right they can call the Muslims anything they want but inside their Church and its also our mission to Explain truth about the Islam
but also Consider the reasons that led to these Clashes
1-The play was made and blessed by the Church
2-Muslims knew about it in the Holy Month of Ramadan ,when the one who isnot so religious ,becomes so
3-Found out it that the Egyptian Church blessed it
4-The Content is highly offensive
5-All they wanted with a simple apology , that's all
Yet it turned as you saw it in Tvs , a civil mini war
The problem is not about critizing other religions more than the conditions of the copts and im my opinion the condtions of the Egyptian people as a whole
From couple of days Salah Elsaadni the famous actor said that Egyptians are just like the Volcano that wants to Errupt
El-3asham you refered too ,is What I want as Egyptian and Muslim from our other Half of the Nation , to stop those who live abroad From Abadir and Co.,we have enough
