Yes, I think there should be a peaceful transfer of power in Egypt. Egypt has been going through tragic and painful events witnessed by the whole world. This was a result of the former government’s dictatorial methods and oppression practiced against the Egyptian people, who suffered from tyranny, deprivation and coercive power. So the Egyptians protested against the way they were treated by their oppressive regime, which did not demonstrate any mercy, justice or humanity. What happened in Egypt will lead to a better situation than the previous one. Egyptians have proved that they are capable of saying no to oppression and injustice. Their regime was not fair in the way it treated different classes of Egyptians. This is why, I think, there will be a peaceful transfer of power in Egypt. That is one of the conditions and requirements of the Egyptians. Their next regime will be based on freedom and real democracy. This will be applied by honest and patriotic citizens and everybody who wants goodness for Egypt and Egyptians. They have been dreaming of freedom for a long time. They have been hoping for an authority that will not be controlled by certain groups, a limited number of people or one political party. This is why it is necessary to assure a peaceful transfer of power in Egypt, to achieve the security, peace and safety of Egypt, and to develop Egypt by innovation, and a change of ideas and people in authority. They should follow new methods that will benefit Egyptians. All this depends on the peaceful transfer of power. There should be a national dialogue, consultation and listening to different ideas, thoughts and creative thinking, to apply them for the benefit and goodness of Egypt and Egyptians. The next government should work based on listening to other ideas and suggestions from the citizens. The doors should be open to everybody to take part in building the future of Egypt and the Egyptians.

Mubarak stepped out against his will and under the threats of the army. Don’t think that the Egyptian army is like the Syrian, the Yemeni or the Algerian army, or that it is like the militias of Gaddafi. The Egyptian army is patriotic and loves its country and fears for its people, and it doesn’t protect the rulers the way other armies do. I wish you would not think these naive ideas.

Egypt will not raise its head after that, because the Western scum are controlling the revolutions of the youth against their homes and security. Egypt will be another Iraq, which also applies to Yemen, Libya, and Syria. The revolutions of the demagogues and thugs will erupt only for theft and plunder. Tahrir square testifies to this. The regime fell and the ruling party disappeared too, but the demonstrations have never stopped since then. As for the former Egyptian president being prosecuted by some half-men, they did do in order to get money only.

The flag of Israel is still flying in the sky of Cairo and it will continue flying, so, what revolution are you talking about? [Repeated]

I cannot see how the Military Council is able to decide about the future of Egypt through demonstrations. I wonder if appointment in the Council relies on patronage, going back to the days during the era of Mubarak. I also wonder where the brains are who are able to rule a country. It would have been possible to overcome this conflict and the previous one, the demonstrations, million-people demonstrations and the last conflicts also, through displaying all the details in public and holding an official public referendum about the causes, the subject of conflicts and the gossip. I call on the army to make a move instead of watching and counting the million-people demonstrations and beating faces from time to time. You have to be manly.

Isn't there anything else in Egypt other than Tahrir Square? Is it now your new Kaaba? I would like to address the Egyptians, bearing in mind that Egypt and the revolution are failed, to spread love, faithfulness and sincerity in their country. One day they imprison Mubarak and another time they robbed money. They have proven to be an illiterate people who do not distinguish right from wrong. Shame on them, shame on them, shame on them.

After the success of the revolution of change in Egypt which toppled the Mubarak regime, many of the demands of the masses are being achieved bit by bit. This is delightful news. I think that the people of Egypt are reaping the fruits of the revolution they led for the sake of overthrowing the authoritarian government that used to rule them. Therefore, I think that the Egyptian people at the present time should give the interim government the opportunity to prepare for the elections that will take them to the safe side. I do not think that the demonstrations and sit-ins that are held by some political forces will be in the interest of Egypt and its people at the present time. The Military Council and the interim government will not be able to run things with all this disorder. If this situation continues, it may lead to clashes between demonstrators and the Egyptian army, which will probably undermine the successes of the Egyptian revolution. The demonstrators’ demands are too many and I do not think that the Egyptian government will be able to achieve all of them overnight, especially since this government's life is very short and it can only run things in the pre-election stage. Our brothers the Egyptians should be aware of this fact and they should deal with it fairly seriously. Egypt has confidently moved towards change, and the revolution that was led by the Egyptian youth is among the greatest revolutions in modern times. Therefore, they have to protect it and protect their historic achievement by giving the government and the military the opportunity to achieve the demands of the demonstrators. The Egyptian government has already started moving towards democracy and fulfilling many of the promises it made, the most important of which is the prosecution of the elements of the former regime who were involved in the killing of demonstrators during the days of the revolution of change. Thus, I am in favor of stopping the demonstrations for the time being and waiting for the upcoming elections to give the government the opportunity to manage the affairs of the country for the sake of the recovery of Egypt.

These secularists also call for the penalization of prostitution and nudity in public places, (in addition to drug abuse), although they are considered within the scope of personal freedoms!!! So, they are calling for restricting freedoms according to their own standards that ignore the freedoms and desires of many people!! Their proof of the fact that those things should be restricted is that those people are a minority as compared to them!! Thus, they agree with the law of Islam in a lot of things that restrict freedoms and with the principle of Shura, i.e. democracy, which calls for respecting the opinion of the majority, why don’t they agree with simple things like the prohibition of alcohol and relative nudity?

I am against the continuation of demonstrations in Egypt, because this will cause tension and instability there, and these are of no benefit or use. The current government should be given the opportunity to carry out what is required of it for quite some time, because it needs time in order to put things back in order and improve the situation to an even better condition that it used to be in the past. The demand of the Egyptian people was to have a change of the regime, and this has indeed happened. This is why the new government should be given the opportunity to undertake its tasks in a proper manner, without pressures or the continuation of protests, which could have negative impacts on the current stage, especially since this stage is a critical one. It should be given a chance to succeed, as well as time, calm and stability, so that these tasks can be carried out in a proper manner, without being distracted by issues of minor importance. This situation could be very detrimental to the Egyptian people, and it could open the door for destructive elements to engage in their activities that call for creating instability in Egypt.

Despite the Sharia evidence that allows people to go out with swords against an apostate ruler who commits one of the things prohibited by Islam, great Egyptians did not do that. They have gone out repeating right words and they have changed evil and injustice with their mouths. In fact, both ancient and modern scholars are agreed on the necessity of saying the right word for the Muslim governor and speaking against evil, using the mouth. The Hadith Sahih clarified that whoever is murdered because he spoke out against evil and said the right word against an unjust Muslim Sultan is someone who has given a great testimony. As a matter of fact, saying the right word and speaking out against the evil which was committed by a governor who committed one of the 10 things prohibited by Islam are more obligatory and deserve things prohibited by!!!

I swear it is shameful for those who demand that we have mercy upon Mubarak. This way of thinking is of good intentions but achieves evil purposes. Mubarak used to arrest anyone who grew his beard without investigating to see whether he was an extremist or not, as they say. He established the state of favoritism. You should feel ashamed because you do not know with whom you are speaking. Fifi Abdou! You must feel ashamed!

To all brothers who are commenting on the topic, especially the non-Egyptians; please, you don’t know the internal situation of the country during the era of the overthrown president. We know better than you. I hope that you sympathize with the situation of Hosni Mubarak. We are the ones who were burnt with his actions not you.

What do tyrants get from their dictatorship? How do they think and why do they cling to power and sacrifice everything for the sake of ruling? Haven’t they learned from Germany’s Hitler, Romania’s Ceausescu, the Shah of Iran, the tyrant of Iraq and now Hosni Mubarak?

Glory be to God who saved our country and led it to safety. We are about 85 million people and each one of us has demands. Please, be patient and God’s relief will come soon. We seek God’s help against all oppressors.

God will not change our conditions unless we change ourselves. O God! Protect the people of Egypt and make the conspiracies of the oppressors turn against them.

I ask the youth of the revolution by God to stop the sit-ins and to focus on their works. Please, give the government a chance to achieve your demands. God the Almighty created the world in six days even though He could have created it within a blink of an eye, only to teach us how to be patient.

I wish that all commenters would fear God as to what they write, so as not to make false accusations against the people or raise doubts about the loyalty, integrity and patriotism of anyone without evidence.

Mubarak must enter the cage to be put on trial. In this way, the judiciary would be fair. This is a message from an honorable Egyptian citizen.

We all love Egypt, and this was shown during the soccer matches. We were very naïve when we wept after the speech of Mubarak. If it were useful, I would have said that we support the protests and that I will participate to say that this is enough. But I wish to see Egypt as I used to imagine it after attending the classes of history of the pharaohs and the pyramids which was characterized by civilization and education. The religion is a trust in the hands of all senior and ordinary officials. O people, fear God because many people are seriously poor.

I wish to see some good thing in my country before I die.

I wish that people would change themselves and be their own judge before they demand the prosecution of Mubarak. Mubarak is one man, but we have another 80 million people. How can they demand democracy and at the same time demand swift trials for Mubarak and the others, as if they are not humans? They try to impose their opinions on the judicial authorities. Are they the most knowledgeable people and infallible people on earth that the Quran spoke about? But still, I cannot deny that he abused his people, betrayed their trust and oppressed many innocents. Thanks.

I wish that everyone would take care of their own business and give the military junta a chance to arrange the country's affairs in order to achieve democracy.

Seriously, we need to know the role of Egypt to define exactly what they need from it. The Prophet, peace be upon him, described it as the blessed land, and historians spoke about its great role in history. We have verified that it is the home of the best soldiers on earth. Hence, it is protected and it will never be against its brothers, and the great Arab world will never be without Egypt. A dreamer of the great homeland.

I am Essam from Damietta and I am one of the soldiers wounded in the war. My rank was volunteer corporal and I wish to know why the military officers get a Ramadan bag while the low ranks cannot get even one date, knowing that some of them are wounded. Thanks to the state and thanks to the armed forces. God alone is sufficient for us and He is the best disposer of affairs.

I would like to congratulate the Egyptian youth on the success of the revolution they conducted and which they were determined to finish successfully. I hope that all their demands will be provided and that they will get their freedom. Their determination, cooperation and unity that united all sects and religions will definitely let Egypt enjoy freedom and better conditions. The Egyptians have made the most wonderful achievements in the modern history of Egypt.

Have mercy upon the honorable man who became humiliated. I assure Mubarak that this distress will go away, God willing.

I think that Egyptians have become conscious, and they know what is good for them and for their country, especially after their experience with the regime of Hosni Mubarak. In fact, these long years have proved the deceptive means used by the government for the sake of clinging to power and positions. Thus, people will not elect those who don’t deserve to rule the country; they will put the right person in the right place. This experience of free elections will become generalized in all the Arab countries, which are suffering from the lack of freedom and democracy. In fact, the Egyptian Revolution has been the light for the way to freedom in many Arab countries that have witnessed revolutions and demonstrations, like in the blessed Egyptian Revolution. Thus, I expect the success of the experience of fair elections, and this will be the beginning of the new political life in Egypt.

Thanks to the great and free Egyptian people. May God reward you the best for this great revolution.

Whoever follows the events that came after the success of the Egyptian revolution and took place in the past five months will notice that the policy of the supreme military council is mainly relying on the factor of time, hoping that the rebelling Egyptian people would get bored and frustrated and this would result in the failure of the revolution of the great Egyptian people and the return of the rule of the pharaoh, which must end forever. Hence, it is better for the honorable Egyptians and the revolutionaries to ensure the creation of a democratic society. The people in all the squares countrywide must stay united and be patient and use peaceful methods so that they can get rid of the individuals of the former regime who destroyed the country and ruined everything. They should not pay attention to the statements of the immoral people and opportunists. You have to be patient, because difficulty is always followed by relief. We ask God for help, as everything returns to Him.

Patience is the key to comfort, but for how long should we stay patient?

Dear honorable Egyptian brothers and sisters, let us grant a chance to the military junta to arrange its papers for the sake of the higher interests of the country, before it becomes too late. The trial of Mubarak and his accomplices is inevitable.

I swear you are going to destroy the country. Please, have some patience and calm down, because you do not represent the whole people and the majority opposes what you call for. Please, have mercy upon us because we have become poorer. You said that Hosni was a thief, but we were living securely under his rule. The thugs are now everywhere in the country and this is their season. Good luck, dear youth of the revolution.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful the ever Merciful. God the Almighty said: “Wilt thou destroy us for that which the ignorant among us did? It is but Thy trial of us". “There are deceptive years - the truthful one will not be believed, the liar will be believed, the trustworthy one will be accused of betrayal, the treacherous one will be trusted, and the Ruwaibidah will speak." It was said, "And what is the Ruwaibidah?" He said, "The base evildoer, he will speak on the affairs of the general public; he will be trusted to rule and he will speak in the name of the people.” The Prophet, peace be upon him, said the truth. They said that this is a revolution, but this is a setback. They said that they are martyrs when in fact they are no more than ordinary, because according to the sharia, the martyr is one who is killed in the battlefield while fighting the enemies in defense of the homeland, the religion and honor. Such a person we can consider as a martyr. The corrupt mass media has brainwashed you. Indeed, there was aggression and corruption, but today we also have impoliteness. You will only realize the conspiracy when it is too late. When this happens, regrets will not do anyone any good. Did any one of you ask himself about what is happening in the Arab world and why it is happening at the same time and after that the economy in the world has collapsed? Did anyone look around himself and deliberate in the conditions of Sudan and the two occupied states of Iraq, and Palestine? Did you notice the chaos that plagued Egypt and Tunisia, or the massacres in Libya, Syria and Yemen? Wake up before it is too late. You are living in a coma and the Arab world is being destroyed with our own hands and not the hands of our enemies.

I can describe the term of Hosni Mubarak as a black period during which the Egyptian people witnessed nothing but destruction, famine and misery, because of the wrong policies followed by President Hosni Mubarak and his repressive regime. The latter denied the Egyptians’ liberty and dignity. His era is among the worst periods in the history of Egypt and the Egyptian people suffered a lot under his rule.

I wish I could see the historic shot when he enters prison. I congratulate my brothers and martyrs. Anyway, I will continue the sit-ins, because the nepotism is still there, and we seek God’s help against them.

In the name of God, the Most Merciful, the ever Merciful. I would like to say to the military junta that you are not fair and this does not establish justice, which has been lacking in Egypt for many years. There is no difference between Mubarak and his sons on one hand and the ordinary citizens on the other hand. Supposedly, the sentence is known, i.e. the death sentence, but you are trying to be smart, when in fact you are stupid. You have no conscience and you do not respect the Egyptian soldier. We, the Egyptians, are strong even if we are few! Some members of the military junta are taking things easy, to the point of vexing us. Where are the interests of the people? Hence, I call on the honorable military junta to get rid of the heads of corruption and to establish justice in this nation. Otherwise, they will bring destruction to us, and this, we will not accept. This is a call to the loyal and sincere Egyptians.

Only God knows whether the revolutionaries are right or not. We ask God to save us.

Dear youth, this is prohibited and unacceptable.

Whoever kills a believer deliberately will be sentenced to hell forever and God will be angry with him and He will put him through severe torture in hell. So, why do we not apply the divine law?

Khaled Al-Yamani. I would like to express my opinion regarding the ruling authority in Egypt. The Egyptians have been fed up with the past thirty years, and because of this corrupt regime, the Egyptian citizen reached the point of no return. I think thirty years are enough for any corrupt regime. Egyptian citizen

The revolution is extremely difficult, and you became scapegoats in the face of the oppression and tyranny. With regard to the fruits, they would be reaped by others. I wish that you would harvest the results of your efforts and blood, so as to forget the suffering. You are taking the right road, and I pray for you and feel with you each of these moments. I weep when you weep and laugh when you laugh, as if you are my children.

The martyr Saddam Hussein was prosecuted publicly and in front of all the people, so why do some people oppose the idea of dealing with the rest of the corrupt people in the same way, irrespective of their positions? Are you still looking for more evidence to convict them? Who is Farid Al-Dib to defend the leader of the corrupt people? Dear Egyptian brothers, look for Farid and search in his papers, and you will find things that will not please you. An Egyptian.

I supported the revolution from the first day. I wish that all the political powers and all Egyptians would be united, because the revolution will never succeed as long as we are divided. Go to Sharm El-Sheikh and grab Hosni, Gamal and Alaa to stand before the court. If this happens, the revolution will succeed. O God! Take revenge upon the oppressors. Please, tell the so-called elite that when they know who the Egyptian people are, they can start speaking about the armed forces. Even if there has been corruption in the army, the people will not allow anyone to touch the armed forces, because this is a red line and it is a shelter for Egypt and the Egyptians.

Ok, dear, I will thank you as long as you thank me. What was seized by force can only be restored by force, and we have many Saudis in Egypt, including businessmen and princes. We, the free Egyptians, know how to restore our rights. Anyway, patience is essential.

You are useless and lousy people. You want the government and the military junta to do whatever you ask them to do. Nevertheless, you give them no chance to do this. All the time the country suffers from tensions and instability. In this way, I do not know how they can respond to your demands. This is the home of the pharaohs, not an ordinary state. Its population is about 90 million and if each party or coalition tried to impose his demands, we would do nothing at all. The square is infiltrated with foreign agents, parties, and beneficiaries whose interests thrive as long as the country is messed up. The main problem is that the people do not have political awareness. We should allow justice to take its normal course and the judiciary to focus on the trials of the symbols of corruption. However, the current circumstance distracts the judges and this delays the trials more because people object to all decisions of the government, judiciary, and the Military Council. Consequently, the country is being demolished and this is the end of the revolution. We ask God to help us.

O God! Grant us victory over the supporters of the corrupt regime.

O people of Egypt, wake up and do not think that the revolution, which overthrew the former regime, has ended, because we still need to get rid of the dangerous remnants of the National Democratic Party, the secularists, liberals and other agents of the corrupt regime who secretly organize diabolical acts to create strife between the people and the army and among the classes of the people. So, beware of all those saboteurs who fight us now with all their might. You will see them in the government institutions, private businesses and in the streets making various attempts to divide Egypt into two opposing parties meanwhile they stand aside and watch their fights, while laughing like demons. They want Egypt to return to the way it was before the 25th of January, because this serves their own despicable interests. Please, do not pay attention to them if you want the best for your country and if you want stability. We ask God to protect our beloved home and to save the free and noble people of Egypt.

O great people of Egypt, and the youth of the 25th of January Revolution, give a chance to Dr. Essam and the other members of the military junta.

I swear Mubarak is OK, because he made all citizens interested in politics. Even my mom is dissatisfied with the policies of Sharaf, despite the fact that she does not know him or his policies. However, she found something interesting to discuss with my father, hoping that they could restore the time of beautiful love. Amazing! Al-Kouri

I wish we would think about the interest of the country rather than our partisan interests. This is the only way to end this mess.

Actually, I believe that Egypt will return to its previous conditions, and the demonstrators must realize that the tourism sector is paralyzed. I know that they have the right, but we should leave the judiciary to issue its decisions. Seriously, I am with and against them at the same time.

From the beginning, I have said that we are the people of the pharaohs. The country is a mess, everyone is trying to take the lead and claims that he is one of the youth of the revolution.

O people, don’t be so harsh on Hosni Mubarak; at least he is not an infidel. Why don’t you give him credit for protecting you against the Zionists? He should be honored for what he did, and not humiliated!

Stop this if you really love Egypt!

The protesters in Tahrir Square are a minority with no political awareness or even any general culture. They are controlled and directed by another minority that lacks any sense of patriotism, even though they always babble about being patriotic, unfortunately!

The people of Tahrir Square do not like any government, even before they know its members, because they want a ministry for every citizen. This has become funny and pathetic at the same time. They stayed in the square without justification and they lost the people’s sympathy.

How long will this continue? The country is paralyzed and I do not know where we will end up. We seek God’s help. I have a perplexing question: I want to know whether you approve of this mess and chaos or not. If this situation appeals to you, then you must realize that it will create 1000000 thieves and thugs. Seriously, this is prohibited, because the country is being destroyed. We seek God’s help.

Mohammad Husni Mubarak must be prosecuted.

Please, allow the country to go ahead and stop the protests and the nonsense of the group-related demands. Let the people go to their jobs and help the economy of the state survive. As for those who want to prosecute the killers immediately, have you ever seen a legal case settled within a few months? Have some sense and give them a chance.

I believe that Mubarak must be prosecuted as soon as possible, in public. After that, everything will be OK.

We ask God to take revenge upon Hosni Mubarak, because he is the one who destroyed Egypt, along with his ilk. We seek God’s help against Suzann Mubarak, whom we used to call “Mom.” As for Jamal, the little kid sold Egypt’s monuments for cash. I seek God’s help against him.

We ask God to give rule to the righteous.

I ask God to bring to the rule those worthy.

I ask God, the Lord of the two worlds, to let Egypt live in a new age filled with security and stability, and we ask God for the Egyptian people to live in peace and for the awaited stability to prevail in this country, to allow all the factions of the Egyptian people to live under the umbrella of this country. We pray for Egypt and Egyptians to live prosperously in constant stability, God willing.

I swear this is prohibited! We need to know exactly what is happening in the country. Whoever knows anything must publish it to let people know the truth.

I swear everything that is happening in Egypt is prohibited, and all of this was stated in the Quran that referred to the great calamity. These are the minor signs of the hour of judgment, but God is the Merciful One. As for the policemen who killed, beat, and tortured the innocents for no reason, I remind them of the power of God and the day when you will stand naked. We seek God’s help against you.

I believe that we are heading towards a dead-end road. We did not like Ahmad Shafik and demanded his departure, and it happened. We also demanded the departure of all the ministers whom we did not like, and it also happened. This is not going to work, because in this way, if even the Prophet, peace be upon him, came to us, we would object. I wish that we had a leadership to speak in the name of the people to state our legitimate and visible rights. In addition, we must have some patience because the government does not have the magic lantern or Solomon’s ring in order to respond to all demands in such a way. The only way to fix this country will be in our hands, not by our objections all the time. Every one of us has to do what is required from him and demand that the government maintain credibility and trust among the people depending on the quick solutions regarding certain cases, in addition to prosecuting the symbols of corruption fairly for the sake of Egypt and its security. Egypt is bleeding and we have to protect the revolution and take Egypt towards progress and safety. Every Egyptian citizen who drank from the Nile is required to work hard. We ask God to protect Egypt and its people, who can get through this phase safely and securely.

I believe that continuing to pressure would lead to good results, because the military junta made us feel that it is protecting Mubarak, despite the fact that it knows everything. Nevertheless, it continued in adopting the old policy. The trials must be fair for those oppressors. The evidence that nothing has changed is that the officer of Turah prison was preparing tea for Ahmed Ezz, and the hidden things are worse... Oppression must have an end and falsehood will be defeated.

Supposedly, we have to allow people to work and give them a real chance to see what they will do. If we do not notice any progress, then the square is there, and in such a case, no one can argue with us.

If the judiciary were just in its work, then the people would go to their work and the wheel of life would move again. We ask God to take care of Egypt and its people. Amen.

I do not accept the regime with its military junta and government, because they issue laws and enforce them against the will of the sweeping majority of the people and do not apply them to themselves. I swear this is worse than nepotism.

The Egyptian youth struggled with all its strength and determination in order to get rid of the tyrant and tyranny, which had upset them for years. They could not be patient anymore and rebelled to overthrow this regime. Now that they have gotten rid of it, the conspirators of the former regime are in Egyptian prisons. These are the former ruling party, which participated in killing demonstrators in the days of the glorious revolution. But the demands have not been achieved and the court has delayed too long in issuing sentences against those hateful cronies. The Egyptian people are heroic and will not give up on their demands; they will come out every day and every Friday in order to claim those rights. They will continue protesting. They will be successful, God willing, and will restore all their rights soon. The ongoing protests will help them achieve their demands, because the Egyptian people insisted on toppling the system and they were able to; and they are protesting now to achieve all their demands. I do not hope but I am rather sure that the demands will be implemented, despite all the pressures experienced by the protesters. They will achieve victory and great hope for Egypt to be one of the important Arab states. It will be free of terrorism and its people will live in peace and safety. The protesters do not want the dark days anymore, but they want to settle and Egypt always thrives and maintains its security and the safety of its citizens. The Egyptians will work to hold accountable all those who will not care about them, and the officials know this well. I pray for them with all my heart to restore their rights and achieve all their demands, because the Egyptian people deserve the best, safety and stability. The demands of the Egyptians are in the interest of the people as a whole, and not just for the benefit of a certain group. In Egypt, we do not want special treatment for certain people. The truth will be always for the Egyptian people, because they want the best for the country and work to rid the poor of the poverty they have been suffering from since the days of Mubarak, who usurped all their legitimate rights.

I do not think the Egyptian people will give up or back down from their demands as a response to what was done by some security men in the days of the protests, which was not easy or insignificant. They pointed their weapons and rifles at the people and committed deliberate offenses. I think there is no need or use in procrastinating to protect these killers and thugs, who should be a lesson to others. They have denied their people the right to demonstrate and express their opinion freely, at a time when democratic transformation has become a realistic demand imposed by the peoples. The rifles of the criminals of the repressive regimes will not prevent people from doing that. So, there is no need to delay the trial of those who committed these crimes against the Egyptian people.

No matter how long the trial lasts, the criminals will come to their fate with the help of God; and anyone who committed a crime against the people of Egypt must be punished.

To the Supreme Council of the armed forces and to the officials of this country: No one questions your integrity and patriotism, but the public, who were oppressed for thirty years, have the right to see the beginning of change. The first change should be bringing the ousted president to trial, along with his family, associates and remnants. This should be done in public. The first sign of justice is treating the ousted president like any other criminal. We have never before seen a criminal who was put in a private suite in a seven-star hospital. Many of them did not even receive any medical care, and they were innocent, but they were treated like that because of the politics and tyranny of the ousted. So, what about this criminal and his associates, who ruined the country and oppressed people?! I and the silent majority think that covering up this criminal and his associates raises a lot of questions. Fear God and don’t do injustice towards Egypt. Be careful of the anger of the majority of Egyptians, who are silent at the moment, but your covering up and concealment are making them angry, harming the country and people, and dragging us to a dark tunnel, and only God knows where it will end. Signed, An Egyptian citizen

I defy those who claim that there is democracy in the Arab world. The revolution of Egypt erupted at the hands of the secular youth, but the Islamists‎ confiscated it. What democracy would come at the hands of those people? It will be dictatorship under another cover.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. I am not a politician and I don’t belong to any political party. I am an Egyptian who adores his country. I was born and raised in Egypt’s land and I have enjoyed her blessings. If I live all my life for her, I still will not be able to pay back Egypt. Today I will raise my voice, because I am afraid for the fate of Egypt and my fate as an Egyptian. My brothers from all classes, parties, groups and religions, whether Muslims or Christians, we are Egyptians and we are proud to be Egyptian. Today, Egypt needs us, but not as protesters. I am not against the revolution, but I am a supporter of the saying “If you want to work, find the means, and if you do not want to work, find an excuse.” Today, I see many excuses, we are searching for what we lost yesterday, but we are not searching for what we are losing today. We are losing our identity and existence as Egyptians. We achieved the revolution; we have the honor of liberating our country. We got rid of an oppressive ruling and powerful group who wasted our rights and shed our blood until the final moment of their rule. Thank God for liberating our country, but today we are wasting our rights again. How can we waste our rights today? We planned for the revolution, but we did not plan for what would follow the revolution. We did not draw a road map to follow so as not to let any enemy sneak in among us and foment an idea and disunite us in the name of patriotism by using the enthusiasm of the youth and their love for their country, to direct them to what is even worse than corruption, which is disunity and the manipulation of ideas. He is residing in Facebook to fight us, he is a coward, and this is why he avoids confronting us face to face. He is fighting our unity as Egyptians, using the sectarian feuds and religion, and when he failed, he used the requests of revenge for the martyrs and gatherings in squares so as to stop daily life in Egyptian streets and to hold public interest back. Who will pay the price? An Egyptian father, a mother who works daily to feed her children, you, me and every Egyptian, whether rich or poor. Then he shifted to instability. What is even more dangerous is that he has supporters in the country. Why does he do this? Because as long as there is no stability, he will have a loud voice and he will exist. His gains are well known, exactly like the fake media that spread the lack of trust towards the army when they were in the streets.

Be merciful to Egypt, be merciful to Egypt!

Mubarak and his associates fled a long time ago. People are naïve, they think that the ministers are still in Egypt, but the truth is that they have left and they are not here anymore.

The revolution must be completed because no one feels that there has been any change, as if the former president and his corrupt regime were still ruling. The bribery and nepotism are still as they were. The poor are getting poorer and the rich are growing richer. The military junta and the government of Sharaf the Second are happy with this situation. O wise people, here are the demands of the revolution: 1- Prosecution of ousted President Hosni Mubarak and his children and wife, in addition to Habib El Adly and all the ministers and corrupt people, publicly and away from any delay or conspiracy. 2- Setting a minimum limit for salaries (1,500 Egyptian pounds) and a maximum limit equal to no more than 15 times that. 3- The formation of a transitional civilian government elected by the revolutionaries of Liberation Square. 4- Restructuring all the departments of the Ministry of Interior so that security will be established in Egypt. 5- The abolition of military tribunals and the immediate release of all prisoners, especially army officers arrested in Liberation Square, and it is known who they are. 6- Compensation for the families of the martyrs in such a way that will allow them to lead an honorable life, receiving pensions and doing everything that is needed for their families. 7- Extending the transition period so that a new agreed-upon constitution can be written, especially given that we made a mistake from the beginning, when we renewed a legally expired Constitution. Long live the free and proud Egypt, safe from the ignorance and futility of the junta, which has dived into the swarms of corruption, ignorance, and foolishness. As for the premier, he is weak and helpless. It is better for him to resign for the sake of our country. His name is Sharaf, which means “honor,” but his behavior is not honorable. We are waiting for the resignation of Dr. Essam Sharaf, and we accept it in advance. Thank you.

May God destroy the corrupt people, starting with Hosni Mubarak, and his sons Alaa and Gamal. We all think they are in prison, right? Actually they are not in prison. The plane takes them to the best villa in Egypt, and when there is a visit for them in prison, the plane brings them back. What is that??! The Egyptian army is unfortunately covering up for them.

Peace be upon you. I hope we all support the honest man Essam Sharaf to achieve security and overcome this difficult time. Be careful, there are many traitors and they are financially supported by America and Israel to form political parties. They are the ones who say: “Give us the chance to establish our parties.”

Guys, everything happening in the country is normal. The most important thing is to overcome this difficult time quickly.

The country has been ruined and it will be ruined more and more. I want quick prosecution of the former regime, so as not to waste the blood of the martyrs. We have to focus on the masterminds!

I am one of the people who suffered because of the revolution, as I work in the tourism sector.

O people, what you are doing in Egypt these days is prohibited. God himself forgives sins, but you refuse. If you want to take his money and put him in prison, you can do this, but it should not reach the stage of execution. Tomorrow, you will have an oppressive president, and you will regret what you have done. However, this regret will be too late. I join all the Egyptian merciful Muslims in their call to have mercy upon this man, so that God will have mercy upon us. This is enough, because you have ruined the state.

O people, we want Divine judgment and justice. Thank you.

Hehehe! Why is this story so boring?

Dear brothers, can any of you tell me about anything that has changed in Egypt since the revolution? Egypt is still as it was, and even worse. Administrative and financial corruption is still there, and this is the true Egypt. Stop this and let us make a living, because nothing will ever change.

Tahrir Square has become an arena for imposing certain viewpoints on people, regardless of whether they are right or wrong. Where is the dialogue? This is chaos incarnate. Please, be reasonable because I am sure that none of those in Tahrir Square belong to the revolutionaries of January 25th.

I swear I have become fed up with the people of Tahrir Square. This is enough; may God take revenge upon you.

Mahmoud al-Derby, 23, who protested in Tahrir Square, said, "The chants in the square escalated against the prime minister after his speech, in spite of everyone's respect for Dr. Essam Sharaf's integrity and trustworthiness."

The phrase “winds of change” appealed to me greatly.

I do not belong to the Muslim Brotherhood, Salafism or any party; I am simply Egyptian. I have a question: why were the wounded revolutionaries not treated at Sharm el-Sheikh hospital, just as the former president was? I think they are more entitled to the care and love of Egypt.

I believe that the Egyptian people in Liberation Square should be patient and give the government a chance to fulfill its promises and respond to the demands of the people, as to prosecuting Mubarak and his aides and executing him in the Martyrs’ Square, formerly known as Liberation Square.

The demands of the people must be implemented so that the demonstrations will end. You have responded only to 10% of the popular demands, but the people insist on responding to the remaining 90%. The people want to topple the regime. Long live Egypt.

Peace be upon you…. I am looking for researches on the banking reforms after the global financial crisis of 2007. I am also searching for any conferences or researches on the Islamic banking after the financial crisis.

We must be more vigilant and aware. We must have leadership.

Dear brothers, I am an employee at Al-Azhar, I was one of those who participated in the revolution, and I was wounded. However, after seeing the continuation of bribery, and the financial and administrative corruption, as well as favoritism, I unfortunately admit that I regret participating with you. Egypt will never change. It will not be a state of the people of experience and efficiency, but it will continue to be the state of the people of authority. Haitham Muhammad

The protests will continue until the change is complete and trials are over, but I am against closing the institutions for the account of the armed men. I am in favor of firing all the police officers who did not do their job, and we have to get rid of the favoritism. We seek God’s help against whoever wants to destroy Egypt. O God! Make their conspiracies turn against them.
