I have to agree completely with deaconmark123. The bible teaches us to turn the other cheek, and moreover our teachings tell us to pray/fast/attend church etc. Personally, I dont like the idea of protesting. In fact, it can actually make things wor…

Yeah, this movie is at least 12 years old by now, but it is great. Definitely watch it :D

Actually, the nicest boys name I've ever heard is "Hiedra". I dont think it's Coptic, but I know there a few Copts in Egypt with that name. I think originally it's Spainish.

What about Bishoy, Mina or Gerges?

Yeah, I understand exactly what you're saying. Personally, I wouldnt contribute towards that Church. Sadly, Copts seem willing to turn a blind eye when it is fellow Copts staying illegally because they feel in can be justified by a variety of reason…

Sure, I guess that means the only way to get around it is to get a spouse to be baptised Coptic, and be married in a Coptic Church. After that, the Muslim can then practice his/her religion and the Coptic wife/husband will not be living in adultery.…

Try - www.nogomi.com/ Or, even better, join www.eftekasat.net - here you'll find Christmas songs of Fayruz (amongst all her other albums) and music and video clips from most other Arabic singers. Matt

What's been so far is totally correct. Just a point historically speaking - at different times the land was Israel (during the era of Kings David and Solomon) and other times it was Palestine and so forth. No one country can ever say that land was …

[quote author=godislove260 link=topic=7283.msg96827#msg96827 date=1226019843] People defending their country from invaders are not terrorists... I think we all know now who the real terrorist is... [/quote] I totally agree. Remember people, it was …

Well, now that Obama is president I think he should all be in our prayers for God to guide and protect him. All presidents and world leaders face many risks and challenges so the least we can do is pray that god keeps them under his care. At the end…

Well, it's all open for debate. I think on clear religious issues he takes the overtly Christian stance, however on other real issues (like the poor, starting a war - let's not forget McCain was the one that said "bomb bomb Iran" -) Obama is more of…

Hezekiel, i totally agree with you. It's so sad to the race issue an issue but it is. I mean, even in Australia I couldnt imagine a non-white person being Prime Minister. Still, I think Obama will get in and it will be a great example for the rest o…

Minagir, The war was most definitely illegal - if you would like im more than happy to send you an essay I did on the topic whilst i did my masters in international law. QT_PA_2T is correct in what he said - more than being illegal, the war is als…

godislove260, maybe if you're in america that could be the case, but in Sydney i've always known that people who go to Israel will be ex-communicated. And as I said, I even remember hearing Pope Shenouda say in a speech that it wasnt a sin that one …

OK, i've studied this topic before, and am not saying this because im Coptic, but the monastery does belong to the Coptic Orthodox Church. The Israeli authorities worked with the Ethiopian Church and changed the locks for two reasons - 1) at the tim…

Ophadece, with all due respect, this is news and is as true as other things reported in the news. Indeed, this story has been covered by reputable chains like the Associated Press, Reuters etc. Second, it's not a competition - Muslims kill more of …

Trinty, I completely agree with you :D Personally, I love our Coptic Church, and our saints so much. But sadly, a lot of Coptics have that mentality you've just pointed out. There are both good and bad Muslims and Coptics, but at the end of the day…

Ok, two things. First, that voice is 100% not Amr Diab. Anyone that listens to Arabic music, and particularly knows Amr Diab, will recognise that it's not Amr Diab. In fact, sorry to say, it sounds nothing like Amr Diab. Anyone that knows Amr Diab …

Well if his Holiness said so.. But still, i cant say it will change anything for me. Something else and I would take note, but suddenly getting rid of everything illegal on my laptop would leave with me with nothing. Secondly, it's not even possible…

Coptic_Pharoah, please, dont make things worse than they are. Yes, it is true that Muslims did take Coptic monks hostage and beat them but it wasnt a religiously motivated conflict. It was a village event about money and land. In Egypt Muslims and C…

lol, i think it's funny people dont want to post the links to the BBC program online because downloading it would be illegal. I rememeber listening to a bishop talk to kids in America and he told them he watched a downloaded version of The Passion o…
