Egypt: the primitive practice of female circumcision among Copts
"Circumcision is not related to Islam in Egypt, since it is identically performed in the Coptic Christians. For some researchers, its appearance is before monotheism."

Copts change confession to divorce

One issue that still rages, and so far has been solved: the personal status Coptic, governing matters of marriage and divorce and other links. At the initiative of the three main churches, including Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant, in 1978, a bill comprising 146 clauses, covering such topics as divorce, child custody and pensions. However, since its proposal, the project expects to be enacted. Currently, the Coptic Orthodox Church permits divorce only for adultery. But the novelty in the text in question is that the design of adultery is enlarged. For example, caught in the act no longer required as a single evidence of adultery. Adultery is recognized in other cases, such as contamination by certain sexually transmitted diseases. "The need to enact this bill is that Christians have not, until now, legislation that regulates personal status matters, which sometimes leads them to change religion to be able to use the Muslim laws. Consequently, the Church refuses to accept the verdicts of the courts, causing great confusion, "said Naguib Ghobrial, one of two lawyers who filed the lawsuit.
The only reference governing the personal status of Christians was a law passed in 1938 by the Community Council
the Coptic Orthodox Church, which allowed divorce in nine cases, including adultery, the change of rite or confession, the contraction of a serious illness by a spouse, imprisonment of one spouse, homosexuality, the absence of one spouse for a period exceeding 5 years and physical assault on the wife. "The problem is that the Orthodox Coptic Church under Pope Kyrollos VI (1958-1970) and his successor, Pope Shenouda III, refused to recognize this legislation because it believes the conditions of divorce are not fully compliant with the instructions of the Gospel, "says the fatherMoallaqa
Morqos Aziz, churchat Old Cairo . In the absence of a law governing personal status and against the intransigence of the Church in matters of divorce, many Copts change of confession and request of Muslim laws, like the law of khola (which gives the wife the right to divorce on condition of renouncing his financial rights). The problem with this draft personal status law that can hardly be reconciled with sharia. "One of the clauses in question is one that gives the right for women whose husbands had converted to Islam to get a divorce. While under Sharia, a Muslim man may marry a Christian woman. " Another controversial provision is one that gives children whose father converted to Islam the right to keep their denomination of origin to the age of 15 after which they are entitled to choose between the two religions.According to Sharia, minor children follow the religion of the father. "This clause is very dangerous because even if children become Muslims after their father, chose at the age of 15 years to return to their original faith, they are treated under sharia as apostates," said Youssef Sidhom, editor of the Christian weekly Watani
.For some, the solution is to adopt a unified project for all citizens that is based on citizenship. On the other side of the bar, Islamist MP
Akram Al-Shaersees no objection to Christians enact legislation that affects them. "Before the 1950s, there were special mixed courts for foreigners living in Egypt. These courts decide cases according to the laws relating to these foreign countries. There is no problem that Christians have this right, "says Al-ShaerIt is the same for the camp of Human Rights, which supports Christians in their efforts. "The clause of the Constitution which stipulates that sharia is the source of all legislation applies only to Muslims. Christians have the right to their own status that reflects their religious instructions. It is their basic right, "says Hafez Abu Seada

Racism among the anti-Armenian
The issue of elections that just took place August 5, 2007 in Lebanon greatly exceeded the simple designation of two members: they affect the functioning of institutions in these troubled times, they determine the balance of power for the upcoming presidential election in two months and have resulted in a sharp thrust
Pushed Racist Anti-Armenian Falangists Lebanese by Thierry Meyssan *
The Lebanese Phalange party of Amine Gemayel launched an anti-Armenian in which the different components of the government coalition have enclosed. The European press, which refuses to consider the Phalange for what they are-that is to say, a fascist party, and sees in them as allies of "the West" is silent. This is even looser than the Lebanese of Armenian origin are now the most ardent defenders of republican principles in the Christian community. August 10, 2007 anti-racist Armenians among the Falangists.
The Siniora government, which has held power in violation of the Constitution was illegally convened two parliamentary by-elections to replace MPs Walid Eido and Pierre Gemayel, both assassinated. Logically, the opposition should boycott the two elections, but it boycotted than Beirut and decided to use one of Metn to assess the balance of power within the Christian community in a district almost entirely Christian. She then presented a candidate unknown to the general public, Dr. Camille Khoury, a country doctor, with the understanding that he considered himself the calling election illegal and did not intend to sit the National Assembly if elected. For its part, the coalition presented its best candidate: former president and chairman of Supreme Life Phalange, Amin Gemayel, to succeed to his son.
Beyond clan ties that have weighed heavily on the ballot, voters had to choose between two policy options: one side the Phalange, a Lebanese favor exclusively dominated by Christians and allied with Israel against the Muslims of the other Patriotic General Michel Aoun, in favor of a secular Lebanon where all can live in peace without also take account of community membership.
It is ultimately the outsider Camille Khouri, who won by a short head. The slap thrust forward by President of Honour Phalanges in the historic district of his clan puts an end to his hopes of once again be president of Lebanon. Amine Gemayel was more so than in his personal campaign accusing those who would not vote for him to play the killers of his son.
Sociological analysis and the election results show different choices among Christians by their churches. Maronites (that is to say, Eastern Rite Catholics), who represent half of the Christians of Lebanon, 56% would have voted for the draft of the Phalanges and 44% for the opposition. The faithful various other Eastern Churches, representing one quarter of the Christians of Lebanon have only 42% voted for the Phalanges and 58% for the opposition. The Lebanese-Armenian Apostolic Orthodox Church of representing the last quarter of the Christians of Lebanon would have voted only 20% of the Phalanges and 80% for the opposition.In other words, the Maronites would be in favor of Lebanon where Christians dominate the Muslims, while Christians of other Eastern Churches would conversely favor of a secular and republican Lebanon. Among these, most committed to civil peace are citizens of Armenian origin, whose families arrived in Lebanon in 1915 to escape the genocide.It is also necessary to qualify this presentation by highlighting things that the vote is a vote Armenian community since the community is divided into three parties representing different political ideas. The Ramgavar (center right) to vote apel Gemayel, while Henchak (center left) and the powerful Tachnag (left liberal) called to vote Khouri.
Meanwhile, the Phalange (Kataeb in Arabic) was founded in 1936 by Pierre Gemayel (the grandfather) in anti-republican spirit of the English Falange Jose Antonio Primo de Rivera. These two teams are the last two historical fascist parties still operating without interruption since the end of the Second World War because they were ideologically linked to the Axis, they did not attend his fights. Even if they avoid
to advertise, the Phalangists remain supporters of an authoritarian rule that provides a Maronite elite over the rest of the population and maintain a cult of violence. Thus, even in January 2005, Pierre Gemayel(the small-murdered son) was praised the superiority of "race Maronite" at a meeting of the Phalange [1].
In 1948, during the exodus of Palestinians fleeing the massacres in Israel and the Phalanges developed an anti-Palestinian racism that culminated in 1982 with the massacre of Sabra and Shatila. Animated by the same logic, the Phalangereacted to Sunday's election by a diatribe anti-Tachnag (Armenian opposition party), which soon turned into pushing racist anti-Armenian in which they have trained their allies.
the evening of the election, President Lifetime Supreme Phalange Amine Gemayel, accompanied by the war criminal Samir Geagea, tried to reject the election results, saying it was rigged by the party Tashnag and that its members would have to answer to them.
He could not say more, as the executive president of the Phalange, Karim Pakradouni, is himself of Armenian descent.
But the step was quickly taken. On Monday night, the television news of the government television station LBC, the leader of the Progressive Socialist Party and member of the Socialist International, Walid Jumblatt [2], said: "The Armenians must know that the Lebanese have the right to self-determination. " A brutal way to exclude the Lebanese-Armenian community national although their families have arrived in Lebanon before it is independent. In the process,Nassib Lahoud, presidential candidate of the Republic supported by the United States and Saudi Arabia, declared that "The Armenians would not have intervened in a conflict between Christians," insinuating that the Lebanese Orthodox of Armenian origin are neither Lebanese nor Christians. While
Gabriel Murr, owner of the chain MTV, said bluntly: "These newly naturalized Armenians fucked in the internal balance of our country."
The days that followed were marked by many Republicans intervention in defense of their fellow citizens of Armenian origin, including those of General Michel Aoun, former MP Mikhael Daher, former Minister Michel Murr ( brother of the above), and Prince Talal, chairman of the Druze Democratic Party. To calm things down, Amine Gemayel has made a visit to Catholicos Aram I, head of the Armenian Apostolic Church Lebanon. Metn, steps have been taken by the Republican party militias to provide security for Lebanese of Armenian origin. Source: http://www.voltairenet.org/article150689.html

Q9550maximus Ii Formula
19 September 2010, family day of the Catholic military chaplaincy.
Venues of all the armies (and even the civilian world), families were warmly welcomed by the airbase Rochambeau for a church service followed by a meal " Picnic "in the area Carbet in life.
Under the Sun of Guyana in this Sunday, we were under a sky more serene. We had to start another year of work. That's turned to a common future that we will continue on the path of construction of FAG for 2011 and 2012.
Everyone has found that Rochambeau had brought: the warmth and friendship, respect and discovery of each other.
We were surrounded by our children, the fruit of our love and guarantors of the future that we want to build.
Everyone has found that Rochambeau had brought: the warmth and friendship, respect and discovery of each other.
We were surrounded by our children, the fruit of our love and guarantors of the future that we want to build.
To the surprise (happy) our chaplain, the meeting was larger than expected, at least 12 times 12 ... Many chairs were added and others ...
We decided not to silence our little darlings during mass. "Let me come to the little children ...". Thus, they were gays, they were happy, they were dynamic, and not so noisy.
The Office ended it with relish that our little hearts were eaten. Then, with lots of natural, we shared a large table, the bread and wine, but also pate, ham, salad ...
Finally, this salad souls split with the satisfaction of having had a good time, just.
This is probably because the coincidence of the day re-entry of the Catholic Chaplaincy and the Feast of St. Emilie. The holy
Emily Church whose celebrated the dies natalis, his birthday in heaven, is certainly less famous than his great ancestor, celebrated May 30: wife of St. Basil the Elder, mother of Saint Basil of Caesarea, St. Gregory of Nyssa, and St. Peter of Sebaste She had transformed her family home into a convent with her daughter Macrina holy.
Emily Rodat, Rouergue Aveyron old nobility, who died in the mid-nineteenth century, had founded it - a little reluctantly, after three Essis ed religious life - the Congregation of the Holy Family, whose sisters devoted themselves to the education of poor girls and caring for the sick at home.
One and the other had to inspire traditions who want the Emilia seek balance, respect for principles: they want to build, initiate, and they have the authority, a powerful dynamic.
And most importantly, they enjoy large families. Everything is said in one name ...
Yes, September 19th was a very good meeting for everyone.
