Christians Under Attack

governor for an Islamic city in Upper Egypt and also, the citizens obey. In addition to that appointment, the Egyptian president gave eighty eight seats for the Muslim Brotherhood in the last election for the Egyptian parliament and still the citizens obey him. Also, the democracy in Egypt is when Gamal Mubarak says that the sharia is the principle source of legislation and in the respond of that the Egyptian citizens obey.

Copts don’t accept the new amendments for the constitution because these new amendments do include deletion to article II from the Egyptian constitution because article II contradicts other articles in the constitution which give the Egyptian citizens to have the right to adopt any other religion. In addition to its contradiction to the other articles, it ignores the presence of other religions and beliefs in Egyptian society that have their own provisions, which in effect downgrades those other beliefs and their followers.

The National American Coptic Assembly is asking President Mubarak, because he is the only person who has the ability to separate between the religion and the state and that will provide a wide space to realize equality among Egyptians. As result of the separation between the religion and the state, there will be freedom of establishing political parties, separation of authorities, weakening the grip of the security apparatus, and activating the role of the Human rights organizations in the Egyptian society.
