Three Events at the Same Time
Because some newspapers
presented this issue in a way that did not reflect the whole truth but harmed us, it became necessary that we explain what happened with accuracy. We did not have the intention to talk in the first place because we leave our matters for God to handle, and He handles them always, and we always have faith in His solutions… Three events coincided with each other and had an effect that showed in an obvious rage that reached the level of demonstrations gathered in St. Mark Cathedral in Cairo. These three events are: 1. Incidents of Assiout that caused pain: This pain showed sometimes, and was oppressed other times and finally exploded. And Wattani newspaper talked about it in the opening article on Sunday 28-11- 2004 and inside the newspaper. It contained events about the conversion of girls and men from Christianity to Islam and it accused the President of the National Party of Assiout and his helpers of being the ones behind. Added to this the troubles that Copts face in terms of building churches and even in planting trees in the area of Dronka. And Fr. Abanoub Thabet the responsible in Assiout has submitted a report to HH the Pope about these events. 2. Events in Manqattin Village, Samallout: HG the Bishop of Samallout presented a report about these events to HH the Pope. In this report HG mentioned that this village is inhabited by five thousand Christians and they have no place to pray in, to the extent that they hold their funeral prayers in the streets. And they bought a land since 1977 and they tried to build a church but their request was rejected because of security reasons. Then they were allowed to have a limited religious activity in a known Coptic Association like funeral prayers, wedding prayers and Sunday School but the Mayor of the village went against this. Then serious harassments took place on Friday 3-12-2004 starting 6:30 PM. During which Dr. Reda Morgan's Pharmacy was robbed and then completely burnt, Mr. Thabet Qastour's car was burnt, Mr. Youssef Henein's house that is right next to the association was attacked and Mr. Zakareya Ghattas' Clothes Shop was robbed. Then some grocery shops owned by Mr. Ishaq Tadros and Mr. Girguis Azer were robbed then Dr. Osama Ghali's Pharmacy was robbed. All this happened and policemen did not make a move until all the damages were done and afterwards they arrested some of the attackers. 3. The disappearance of the wife of the Priest of Abou El Mattamir and what was said about her conversion to Islam and marriage to a Muslim: And unfortunately this provocative news was posted in Al Ahram Newspaper on Tuesday 7- 12. And this is unreasonable because how can a woman marry two at the same time? For her to marry another man she must get a divorce from her husband first. And this requires a lawsuit in the Personal Status Court in which her Christian husband is first offered to convert to Islam and if he accepts she remain to be his wife. And if he refuses she gets a divorce. And how would they offer conversion to Islam to a Christian Priest?! This is a scandal that had its effect and bad impact all over everywhere. The most important thing is that this event was "the last straw". And demonstration started. And here we talk about how events went on. |
