Yesterday there was a protest at the Saint Mark Cathedral at Abessiya, a group of Christians came from Upper Egypt to protest the disappearance of some underage girl ; of course they blame Muslims for her disappearance and they even chanted that interesting chants “Gamal you will be the president , kidnapping our girls is not good !!” I do not know if this is a warning for Gamal or what but this chant shows to what level some people are taking for granted that Gamal Mubarak will be the president of this country.
Anyhow Gamal Mubarak is not our issue , our issue is these Christian women and girls disappearance cases creating fires no one wants to put off for real for the sake of the unity of this nation.
The incident of that girl from Upper Egypt happened after few weeks from the huge protests following the sudden disappearance of Camilla Shehata , the wife of that priest in Upper Egypt too.
Camilla officially returned back to the Church after staying for a while in her relatives’ house as she had a big fight with his priest husband , yes officially there were huge protests provoking Muslims because the family of Camilla knew about her fight with her husband and they refused to stop this circus. It was like a blow especially it came at the same time of divorce issue in the Church.
We thought that this circus would be over when Camilla appeared but we were more than wrong , it has just started. Camilla was found by the Police and the Police took her to the Church which sent her not to her home or her parents’ family but rather to unknown monastery !!
Then came the media race between newspapers that found out or rather claimed to be accurate that Camilla actually converted to Islam and Al Azhar let her down by sending her to the police which sent her to the Church. Dostor and Youm 7 are racing on publishing documents and photos they claim that prove her conversion to Islam. Now many Muslims believe that Camilla has been kidnapped and currently is being held captive and is brainwashed by the Church joining her sister Wafaa Constantine whom many believe was killed and buried in some monastery for converting to Islam.
Personally I find it hard to believe that Al Azhar let down Camilla or another converter in this way still what annoys me is the fact that Camilla has not appeared for once to speak about herself in public. The Church is insisting that she did not convert , well if she is still Christian ,why she does not come out from that monastery and stop that fire from spreading and destroying this nation !!??
What I am amazed from is the position of the human rights and women organizations in this country , they are so silent despite there is a possibility that a lady is being captive somewhere against her own well possibly because of her religious belief or even because her fight with her priest husband according to the official story. Do not these human rights organizations believe in the freedom of belief !!??
The Church can stop all this , it can put off this fire , if they let Camilla come out and say the truth; Christianity will not end if Camilla becomes a Muslim and Islam will not lose a thing if Camilla turns to be a Christian who suffers from bad marriage ; I know some Church men will think that both situations will make the Church look bad because we are speaking here about a priest’s wife but we are here dealing with unity and safety of this nation; its true national security .
Not only Camilla but also Wafaa Constantine too to close that door once and for all. Sometimes silence is not the best way to handle things with.
