Egypt: Amidst the much efforts to ban Hijab amongst Muslims in some countries, a new controversy arises in Egypt between the state laws and the Christian Church. This time its about the Coptic christians in Egypt, whether divorced men can re-marry again or not.

The high court ordered that all those men who have been divorced may re-marry without any problem. This however has been widely condemned by the Coptic church sayings it forbidden for a Coptic christian to re-marry after divorce.

Earlier, the Coptic council had put an appeal in the court to pass a judgment that bans a Coptic divorced man to re-marry. However, the high court has rejected the appeal and has stated that Coptic divorced men may choose to re-marry.

Coptic Christians in Egypt is now protesting against this decision saying that such a thing may be allowed in Islam, but in Coptic church, it is forbiddened.

However, High court has also directed all those individuals to get divorced and then re-marry. This as per the church is forbiddened.

Coptic Christians in Egypt is one of the largest minority communities in Egypt. This decision by the state comes as a shock to most of the Christians who are now demanding right to religion in a democratic state.

Earlier a similar outrage was sparked by European states on banning Hijab, the Islamic dress code for women. There is still a huge protest on between the states and Muslims minority communities.

    Egypt should go ahead and make this rule as a government law and abolish the inhuman and barbaric practise of the coptic christians of egypt.
    It is normal in the lifes of married couples to have differences during the lifetime and there are possiblities of the differences widening and leading to more serious offences, hence divorces are a way to get out of estranged relationships and forge new ones. To forbid divorced men and women to remarry is a henious and pagan crime to which the coptic christians are holding on to. They should try to get rid of this social evil and try to accept the new changes and challenges of life and blend in with the world.
    The evil practise of forbidding remarriage will give rise to numerous crimes like prostitution,fornication,sodomy,incest,gaysex,lesbianism,maturbation,
    pedophilia etc for which even the christian church celibates are easy prey.
    Didnt one hear of the numerous confirmed and confessed cases of paedophila committed by high ranking bishops in US & UK.God created man with desires and revealed ways to satisfy them through the institution of marriage which would ensure that such beastly acts dont occur.This is what happens if you dont follow the strategy of God and try to supress ones desire.The pent up desires need to exit & they find thier way by way of illegitimate sex outside marraige. Church/Ashrams are soley responsible for such all inhuman practises of homosexuality, gaysex,lesbianism etc.Didnt Aids start from churches.
    In fact all other middle eastern countries having christian minorities should ban this inhuman practise of christians. This will open the crooked and biased eyes of vatican and other european countries to reconsider the hijab and other bans imposed on muslim minorities in those countries.
    Lets see what those so called defenders of human rights have to say now.
    Tit for Tat should be the policy of dealing with these biased and prejudiced societies.

    Present day Christianity is an outdated and dillapidated religion based on impractical and illogical tenets, this false outlook to faith has corrupted the christian faith.Thier books & faith have been bigoted & concorted by power hungry wolves in sheeps garb in vatican for petty gains. It has ceased to be a religion as GODS WORD has been altered.It is more of a religious dogma with no sound foundation for many a times christian debators have been found wanting of genuine answers posed by Muslim debators. In fact it is a known fact that many a times Muslim scholars have educated the christian priests about some facts in bible. A lot of christian priest are themselves unaware of what is in the bible. So what are these preaching to the masses is anyones guess.
    A lot of queriies by sincere and innocent christian masses goes unanswered,
    the priests try to cover up thier ignorance saying,DONT ASK,JUST FOLLOW.

    This is what is leading to hordes of sincere christians in pursuit of true faith to adopt and embrace Islam as Islam has all the answers to all the questions.
    ISLAM is the ONLY practical and Logical Religion based on sound foundation.
    It is the only religion with an outlook to care of its followers Life in this world and Hereafter. It is a NATURAL RELIGION covering every aspect of a belivers Social, Spritual,Economical & Political life. No wonder it is the RELIGION selected by GOD ALLMIGHTY for MANKIND till the end of the World.
    Unfortunately it is the most misunderstood religion in contemporay times. This misunderstanding and prejudice against Islam was spread by Christian Europe from the time Muslims gained dominance in the Middle East, North Africa and Spain . Christian crusaders failed in their missions to crush Islam in its homeland but continued to vilify and misguide masses about the True Faith.
    But Truth Shall prevail and when it does Falsehood will vanish.
