Bob,
But you do understand that if your particular branch of the Muslim religion
were dominant throughout the world and if it were your calendar and language
and beliefs that ruled, then it would be your religionists who would be
unfairly dominating everyone else. I am an atheist. I don't want to rule or
dominate anyone. I don't want to change your beliefs. What I want is for
governments to be neutral so that people with all religions and with no
religion, will be treated equally. I don't want to fight anyone for dominance.
Miriam

To celebrants of the western world, as you are in the heart of your holiday, I
have a concise statement for you. The whole world doesn’t have to emphatically
recognise everything you embrace. Unfortunately, we are coerced in the Muslim
world to rely on your calendar for time keeping and scheduling. Because our
leadership \is dampened, our nation is diffident. The ultimate battle doesn’t
involve actual weapons. It rather involves holding up to edification, identity
adherence and intellectual development. Here in Egypt, there are many secular
activists who attempt to destroy our Islamic heritage and replace it with a
distorted version of the western culture. This involves everything such as
Atheism, Christianisation and other faith patterns that are essentially western
in essence. Many lay people fell in the tribulation and complied to
imperialism. But, I am afraid, you still didn’t prosper. Arabic language won’t
ever exterminate because it is providentially preserved in a sacred text called
the Noble Koran. Because you believe in equality, you strive to make us equal
with you in faith inaction. Fortuitously, your attempts fell at the first
hurdle. I am a teacher and inshAllah, will continue to be for the rest of my
life. Despite the grave civil defeatism which has destroyed this generation,
the upcoming one will inshAllah be enlightened, conscious, religiously disciple
but not hateful.
