But how beautiful, Maryam Fekry that Mariouma (Marietta), 22, of Alexandria, Egypt. The Facebook profile is still active and portrays her radiant, explosive, multifaceted, self-fed. Mille Mariouma in one: the triumph of Medusa hair on her bare shoulders, or collected in a white veil, surrounded by objects in alabaster, jade, spiral columns, a craft that smells of precious, clean and mystery. Felix, with his complexion more beautiful in the world, purely Mediterranean. Fair with toga and touch, graduation day, and dreamy with friends and friends, on the promenade of the scorching summer in Egypt. Gold vapor; youth torn but tenacious in her smile, and I guess I look at the descriptions of Cleopatra Courtyard Fausta Cialente. And, also, The Garden of the Finzi-Contini Bassani. I see her playing tennis in white clothes, laughing and joking with friends lopsided and gangly, kind to everyone, elusive to the fund. I see well-off, in a house of white stone, aware of belonging to a land and a story. Mariouma has become the symbol of extermination of Christians in Egypt . Coptic Christians . Another woman, embodied in the persecution of mankind new.

Monophysites , the Copts? Let's leave the complicated terminology. The faith of Mariouma and its correligonari was the most experienced, touched, family imaginable. For her, God, Allah as he called his friends the other Arabs and Muslims (many on their profile) was a traveling companion who rediscovered each time. We expected something, was running from God, that evening of December 31, in church to celebrate the New Year after year "beautiful" . We will never know what to dream and we want to be kept in secret to God's "friend" from the only perfect nature, nothing of the double, ambiguous Mariouma had so much in him filled his young life, that perhaps God himself was satisfied. She listened to Evanescence, Enrique Iglesias, and Arab singers such as Majida el Ramy. She had attended all'Heaven Harp Choir with enthusiasm as a child, December 29: These dates of his albums, icons, crosses and girls in prayer, flowers, music, Paulo Coelho, bursting with joy but infuse a dark thrill. It was only two days, and the church Mariouma never come back again.

was cultured and fascinating Mariouma. Modern.

Mariouma following other deaths in Iraq , Nigeria , Philippines and elsewhere. Not to mention the China, where the Pope rightly, on 2 December, denounced "discrimination and persecution against Christians mainland urging them to" not lose heart " and persevere in the faith. The Communist hierarchy have criticized his speech: we again present in full (except for Italy, he finds Joseph Ratzinger, when he wants, words of rare efficiency in defense of religious freedom and human rights in general).

equal, Benedict XVI has expressed strong condemnation for the killing of Egypt.

What tremendous and wonderful lesson We are giving the shots Christians who live where Jesus lived and where that name is going to be hunted. "Born in Bethlehem of Judea" , "of Egypt I called my son" : if it is true that one finds everywhere, the man Jesus, the Jesus of Palestinian land, the mentality of the East, can not identify with Europe. In these latitudes tired that even dare to complain, so the consumer Christmas illuminations to be removed with boredom, sickening frosting and sugar. Now approaching the Epiphany, which some here insist on defining "Befana" . Our Christmas improperly "minor". The Christmas of the Magi, the first fruits the distance. The Copts, however, will celebrate the next day, they will want to celebrate, will celebrate Christmas in their calendar. Must do so in churches, homes, families. Everywhere.

Among Friends Mariouma included a Muslim boy, also a graduate of Alexandria, with a significant avatars that carry the side.

And he's right. Terrorism has no religion . The above-mentioned case of China demonstrates. Those parts fanaticism is an atheist. But the results do not change. And if it is true, as Gandhi claimed that "among the most violence, those in God's name are the most intolerable" , those perpetrated in the name materialism have not released the man, but also the enslaved, decreased brutalized. God is therefore free.

also as humanists, we feel the time to get our InterSos open letter to Muslim communities in Italy and Europe . We wait, in the protection of dhimmi, which each of the different p majority must become care. Yes, Christians are returning to the origins, the nature of the persecuted, but no one should boast of being on the side of the persecutors (Don Milani).

Several intellectuals "progressive" Europeans are distressed over the fate of Cesare Battisti (the criminal common, not the irredentist, which now must be turning in his grave). We stand alongside Mariouma and all men and women of good will, regardless of their faith. Mariouma not celebrate Christmas. I gave her, ideally, the ad shown here, a little shrine rebuilt in Venetian. "liberation of slavery" . Merry Christmas, great little friends.

"The power of God within you is stronger than the pressures around you" (M. Fekry)

press release, World Without Wars and Non-Violence

We learn with deep anguish the news of the massacre of 23 Coptic Christians on the day Two New Year's Eve in the Church of Saints, in Alexandria, Egypt.

expressing our full solidarity and sympathy with the victims and their families daughters, we take this opportunity to reiterate, in an even stronger, our belief in humanity:

- freedom of worship is a inalienable rights of man, as enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and as was taught by Gandhi: "Of all the violence, the most absurd and intolerable are those perpetrated in the name of God" ;

- religious minorities, ethnic, cultural, political and sexual, as well as those who do not recognize any God, need to respect and shall enjoy the rights and duties as all the inhabitants of this planet;

- the fundamentals of religion excludes any violence against other human beings. In the Bible we read "Thou shalt not kill" , and in the Qur'an: "Whoever kills a fellow kills the whole world" . Even if you do not profess the same creed.

So while we await a strong and united stance of other faiths to an attack that has nothing to do with the true faith, hope the formation of working groups, opportunities for dialogue, non-denominational teaching of all religions, from school, because mutual understanding is the first basis for building an authentic universal human nation.
