Reactions
in the Egyptian Press
To a Lecture
Delivered by a Coptic Bishop In Hudson Institute, Washington
 Report by: Magdi Khalil
On July 18, 2008, Bishop Thomas
- Bishop of El-Qussia Diocese in Upper Egypt - gave a lecture entitled
“The Experience of the Middle East’s largest Christian community
during a time of rising Islamization”, in Hudson Institute. The Bishop
talked about how the Arab invasion of Egypt in 639 A.D. has altered
the identity of Egypt through Arabization and forced conversion to Islam,
and the lasting impact on the Christian minority in Egypt. The Bishop
said, “The
Copts have been always focused on Egypt; it is our identity, it is our
nation, it is our land, it is our language, it is our culture. But when
some of the Egyptians converted to Islam, their focus changed away from
looking to their own [language and culture]. They started to look at
the Arabians, and Arabia became the main focus,” adding that, “if
you come to a Coptic person and tell him that he’s an Arab, that’s
offensive.

Every year around Thanksgiving, one of my favorite traditions is that the cable stations run the 1939 version of “The Wizard of Oz,” a movie beloved by many children. And, as with many children’s movies, the basic premise and plot lines also can be great lessons for adults.

Jews, Christians and all other non-Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith in Saudi Arabia
 by: Ali al-Ahmed, NY Post
SEVERAL Middle Eastern and world leaders will meet in New York this week under United Nations auspices to discuss the world state of religious freedom.
The meeting - part of an initiative of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah bin Abdul Aziz on religious dialogue - is controversial. Abdullah, an authoritarian ruler, leads one of the most (if not the most) religiously oppressive regimes, which has amply earned its nickname "The Kingdom of Hatred."
A recent US State Department report on religious freedom documents appalling trends in Saudi Arabia, which aspires to be the center of a major world religion yet still practices discriminatory policies toward other religions and oppression of other Islamic sects.

“Didactic literature” is one of the most important genres of ancient Egyptian literature. In this article the writer, with the grace of Christ the Lord, continues the review for this type of ancient Egyptian literature to help shed more light on some of the Coptic cultural traits, values and norms. Ancient Egyptian literary creations outline several common themes, e.g. “Justice” or “Maat”. The literature of the Middle Kingdom includes several Didactic compositions including the tale of the “Eloquent Peasant”.
