Egypt and religious freedom
. All hopes were born in the revolution of Tahrir Square can be marred if the Egyptian society is not able to dnd radical minority that clearly is trying to bring the country into chaos. Attacks on Christians are unworthy and despicable acts, whose only purpose is to make society The transition impossible democrtica. The Copts are as Egyptians and Muslims, faithful to a religion whose roots in those, fallen earth buy chips, lands long predates the very birth of Islam, so there is nothing strange, or irregular in their presence at the pa s. Is more, in Egypt, as in most upcoming East Pass, the coexistence with Christians has enriched the societies in which hese insist on staying, despite the attacks against are subjected. We must therefore understand that the extremists threaten not only, global agenda powerleveling, Christians but all the Egyptians, since their totalitarian ambitions are directed equally to all those who do not agree to abide by their delusions teocrticos.
For centuries, the Egyptian Christians have lived in situation of inferiority, and it is natural that the prospect of future sectors democrtico be unsettling for fear that the construction of a free society give equal, aion kinah, rights to all citizens . But that situation does not inevitably lead to confrontation, this requires an express intention to create situations of tension. It is difficult to know whether these incidents estn being led by fundamentalist groups on their own initiative if they are old rge forces that refuse to disappear handlers or if it is a voluntary combination of the two sectors . In any case, the Egyptians must understand that religious freedom is an essential element of any democracy. If within the community 's basic law a citizen can not be free, even in the privacy of your consciousness, that society can not escape from slavery and disorder. If people think Islam and religious tolerance are incompatible, you must know that this is not a dct of democracy, but in any case, that certain interpretations of Islam are a major problem for civilized living.
