We Want Peace

It is our duty to struggle for the return of our land
 It is our duty to cooperate and be one hand.
 It is our duty to spread peace in our nation.
 And stop the violence and avoid the separation.
 It is our duty to fight our enemy.
 And beat the arrogance and the hegemony. 
 We should prove that we are not a scapegoat.
 And that we have a great cultural thought.
 It is our duty to prove our existence.
 Even if it is by defense and resistance.
 It is our duty to return the civilians` rights.
 Even if it requires entering in wars or fights. 
 We seek peace and security.
 But defending our land is a priority.

How proud all Egyptians should be of the truely honorable and civilized way you have gone about gaining control of your own country! I was there 11/11-12/11 and found your people SO very kind. Light & Love

true peace and security will only come after the return of Jesus, when his kingdom will rule the world after Armegeddon. Until then, the prophet Daniel explained the wars will continue. Check out Daniel chapter 9 if you wish.
