A massacre at the hands of the authorities
Can the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) now claim it decided not to open fire on Egyptians during the revolution? Can it make such a claim after what happened on the evening of 9 October? Or was the SCAF only talking about Egyptian (...)

Muddying the waters
As many of us are still in shock, pain and melancholy after the Alexandria church attack, lawyer Montaser al-Zayat has come out wondering why everyone is lamenting the loss of Christian lives when almost half of the incident's victims, he claims, (...)

Egypt''s policy of denial

The NDP''s manipulation of Egyptian Copts
In a recent op-ed, Michael Mounir, head of the US Copts Association, wrote: "Never in the history of politics has a party exploited a single segment of society in the way that the ruling National Democratic Party (NDP) has done with Copts of Egypt, (...)

Lessons from the Al-Dostour crisis
Looking back at the Al-Dostour newspaper crisis, which began in October, one wonders what lessons we can draw for Egyptian privately-owned media. Egypt's experience with private media is relatively new. Though it has been successful, it is also far (...)

Confronting extremism, overcoming security
Last week, Al-Qaeda militants in Iraq threatened to attack Egypt's Coptic minority in the wake of a massacre at a Baghdad church that killed 58 people. As a result, Egyptians became anxiously preoccupied with staying safe. But what's the proper (...)

An indivisible country
The recent upsurge in sectarian tensions, provoked by Father Bishoy's remarks doubting the authenticity of certain Quranic verses and the alleged conversion of Kamilia Shehata, makes me wonder what will be the consequences of this crisis. Will it (...)

For the ruling party, ignorance is bliss

A bullet for your sake

ElBaradei isn''t looking for a job
When Mohamed ElBaradei returned to Egypt, some suggested that he be appointed vice president, while others proposed he become prime minister. So I ask, is ElBaradei looking for a job? And are we looking for a job for ElBaradei? Do we want change, or (...)
