عار على مصر

عار ما حدث يوم الثالث و العشرون من يناير على حدودنا فى رفح الحرة
لن ننسى ابدا ما فعله الخونة من حماس و ابناء غزة. و لن ننسى كيف تهاون النظام فى القاهرة فى التضحية بأمن مصر القومى. لقد تألم شهداء مصر فى قبورهم عند الاعتداء على جنود مصر و حدود مصر. و لن تنسى مصر و لن ينسى المصريون ابدا كيف خان بعض المصريون وطنهم و شرفهم و تحالفوا مع الهمج من الحمساويين. لن ننسى ابدا كيف هان على الاخوان المسلمون امن و اسم مصر، فكان ما فعلوا هو تعبيير حقيقى على سياستهم الرسمية و هى طز فى مصر! لابد من محاكمتهم العسكرية

Action Needed

As I have expressed on Ma3t's and Malek's blogs I think a more concerted effort has to be made to increase awareness on the magntitude of the problem.
A Unified Website has to list on daily basis the continuous Sexual Harrassment our girls and women face daily in the streets and public transportation of Egypt.
I am also quite sure that harrassment details from relatives and parents behind closed doors are far more gruesome and detrimental. The Internet being the best penetrating tool has to be used to uncover all the dirt.
The time has come for far more girls to express what they are experiencing.
Harrassment has to be listed by region and place in Cairo and throughout Egypt. That should also serve as a warning to females on which places to avoid and to hopefully alarm authorities.
The only way our women would feel safer is for the largely silent and ignorant public to become more aware. Once all the facts are on one unified website, copying it on to other media outlets is quite easy.

The Mother of All Crimes

Being a male, I am extremely ashamed of the male sponsored view that girls and women are responsible for the sexual harassment inflicted on them in the streets, alleys, busses and underground of Egypt. Ever since I read the different postings on other blogs about the attacks since Tuesday and I felt shaken and compounded for fears that Egypt that lies in our hearts and minds is departing with no return. An attack on the female half of Egypt in the heart of Cairo amounts to a a full scale attack on society. The silly, shallow and racist/sexist view that females have a role in such an avalanche of attacks are as bad as the attacks themselves.Several Questions rack my brains without any answers…What could be done to reverse such a dirty view that males in this nation have towards women? Why was the security apparatus which is already generously present in downtown Cairo completely neutral and allowed such full attacks to take place on three consecutive days without any interference?So we, Egyptians, have become exceptionally superficial when it comes to religion to the extent that upon the end of Ramadan, we become extremely loose to the extent of violating the humanity of other fellow humans. Till when, will the conservatives like those male commentators on most blogs, be totally blind to notice that all religious fervors sweeping this country, including the veil, beards, excessive prayers, hatred to other minorities and religions, all this religious propaganda are completely false and without any fonundation and has only a negative effect on the whole country and doesn’t relate in anyway to religion or to being a better person.This nation only requires brave men and women who are able to dump all stupid preconceptions and strive to build a new society based on proper citizenship, democracy, equality and true impementation of law with religion and state separate. Last but not least, allow me to express my deep pride of all other Egyptian female bloggers who are finally breaking down the silence barrier and of all bloggers who helped to spread around the news of the mother of all crimes, assasinating Egypt's society... God bless you all.

Is it of any use to write and to question whats wrong happened with the country? Or is it as they say in colloquial Arabic, "Nafkh fee 'irba ma'too3a", or as transliterated in English, "Blowing a punctured baloon".
The decay in our nation is so diverse, I wonder if is it still even to be considered a nation. Or is it just a regime floating on past history and an impovrished demoralized population?
I hate to sound pessimistic, but I just always expected much more of Egypt.
Anyway, I hope this blog trial would be an insightful personal reflection on Egypt; Egypt the people as well as the regime with a spotlight on its region and its explosive events.
