The Jews believe firmly that Israel is their prophets land and Muslims believe that Palestine their land. Each should respect the others view and there should be adequate compromise. Reality.
Some Egyptian humanrights groups shredded documents on Sunday and instructed their staff to stay home as a government deadline approached for them to register under a Hosni Mubarak-era law they say seeks to eliminate them. Egypt's government says groups doing the work of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) but not registered as such must correct their status ...
Egypt's government says groups doing the work of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) but not registered as such must correct their status by Monday to comply with a 2002 law it is enforcing while it works on new legislation for the sector.
Human rights groups say the push to enforce the old law aims to restrict their activities and funding, raising concerns that President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi's government is rolling back freedoms won in the 2011 uprising that ousted Mubarak.
"Whatever happens, I don't think that the human rights movement in Egypt is going to be able to work safely," Mohamed Zaree, programme director at the Cairo Institute for Human Rights Studies (CIHRS), told Reuters.
He said his group had never tried to register under the 2002 law and refused to do so now because it was "a death sentence for our independence".
Contacted by Reuters on Sunday, neither the Social Solidarity Ministry, which is responsible for NGOs, nor the presidential spokesman were immediately available for comment.
But Social Solidarity Minister Ghada Wali told Reuters last month that the state could not let groups operate unregulated pending a new NGOs law that could take months.
She sought to assuage fears that her ministry would use the 2002 law to starve critical NGOs of funding, saying that from June 30, 2013 to Sept. 30, 2014, it had approved 812 grants to 500 NGOs from 540 donors totalling 835 million Egyptian pounds.
But she also said the government would begin going after improperly registered organisations once the deadline passed.
The government's deadline comes as executives from more than 60 U.S. businesses visit Cairo for a major investment summit.
Foreign investors have looked positively on initial economic reforms enacted by Sisi, who has pledged to revive the economy and combat an Islamist insurgency. He has been less specific on upholding the rights many Egyptians rose up to demand in 2011.
Since toppling elected President Mohamed Mursi of the Muslim Brotherhood last year, Sisi has presided over a fierce crackdown on dissent that has seen many thousands jailed.
Though most targeted in the crackdown were Mursi supporters, liberal and secular activists are now also behind bars -- many of them charged with violating a new law that limits protest.
The political climate means trust is low between the government and civil society in Egypt. Some groups have felt particularly exposed since late 2011, when authorities raided 17 local and international pro-democracy and rights groups accusing them of joining a foreign conspiracy against Egypt.
Some groups have refused to register under the 2002 law because it enables tight state control over the activities and finances of registered groups. Others are registered as civil companies or law firms because the government never approved their applications under the 2002 law.
"CLIMATE OF FEAR"
Rights defenders interviewed on Sunday said they were taking precautions such as temporarily closing their offices or working from home. Speaking on condition of anonymity, two groups said they had destroyed documents in anticipation of a raid.
Amnesty International's Egypt researcher Nicholas Piachaud told Reuters that, regardless of what happened on Monday's deadline, the damage had "already been done".
"The Egyptian authorities are sowing a climate of fear which has stopped NGOs from doing their vital work of defending human rights and the law," he said.
Zaree of CIHRS said his group and others already operated under severe constraints, constantly worried their work would be seen by the state as an attempt to "stain the national image".
He cited his group's decision not to participate in last week's United Nations Human Rights Council review of Egypt's human rights record as an example when the group had to stand down, not knowing "what the cost of participating would be."
Egypt defended its record at the meeting, saying that personal freedoms were among its prime concerns.
The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights (PIER), a well-known group, said it tried in 2004 to register under the law but "nothing happened", even after staff went to court to try to get the application accepted. Like other groups doing similar work, EIPR is registered as a limited liability company.
"We really don't see the point of registering under a 12 year-old-law that even the state says is inadequate," said EIPR Associate Director Gasser Abdel-Razek. "Everyone accepts the fact that this is not a democratic law".

The stupid Muslims of Egypt are very passive and acquiescent that their mosques and Friday sermons khotbas are run by Wizarat il Awqaf the ministry of endowment. The Coptics are smarter and they own and run their churches out of any government control or supervision.
In Egypt the media calling all who oppose the present dictatorship in Egypt as Ikhwan Muslim Brothers Supporters. However, this is not the case but Democracy Supporters.
Insults to prophet Muhamed companions became common in Egyptian television. No courage to insult any of the Bible figures of Christianity or any of the companions of Jesus.
Two separate Egyptian courts yesterday sentenced 51 anti-coup activists, including six female students, for periods ranging from three to five years in prison.
At the same time, the Egyptian Public Prosecutor ordered the release of 116 minors who were being held in custody after joining public gatherings.
According to judicial sources, the state security criminal court in Al-Buhairah sentenced 35 anti-coup activists to terms of between three to five years over accusations of breaching the demonstration law and hindering the work of state institutions.
Meanwhile, Nasr Misdemeanour Court sentenced 16 anti-coup students, including six females to four years in prison. They were convicted of carrying out "riots" inside Al-Azhar University in January.
Most the Egyptian universities witnessed almost daily anti-coup demonstrations which the police violently cracked down on, killing and wounding tens of demonstrators and arresting hundreds.
A number of students were expelled from university after they took part in demonstrations.
Prosecutor General Hesham Barakat issued an order on Wednesday for the release of 116 students and minors arrested for illegal assembly. Details surrounding the student and minors' arrests and the time of their release have yet to be confirmed by official sources. Their release comes as a measure to preserve their futures and education opportunities, Barakat said in a statement. On Tuesday, the Fayoum Court released 10 detainees and referred one to the Juvenile Court, said a Tuesday statement issued by the Association for Freedom of Thought and Expression. The detainees had been arrested during a protest for the Dank Movement on 9 September and were charged with protesting without a permit, shouting slogans against the army and police, and blocking roads. Since the Protest Law was issued, a number of students and activists have been detained on charges of violating the controversial law and illegal assembly. The law was issued by Hazem El-Beblawi's cabinet last November to "regulate" protests, requiring permission from the Ministry of Interior to organise demonstrations. It was then retracted for public discussion and subsequently approved in late November 2013 by former interim president Adly Mansour. The legislation includes restrictions on protests, marches and public meetings and requires a three-day notice for protests. It allows the Minister of Interior to move or change the route of assemblies or cancel them. Articles in the Protest Law also allow security forces to use water cannons, batons and teargas to disperse protesters, as well as "escalatory measures", including the use of rubber bullets and metal pellets.

Egypt's President Abdel-Fattah El-Sisi is to visit the US in September to participate in the 69th United Nations General Assembly, according to a press release from the Egyptian presidency, Reuters' Aswat Masriya reported.
The session is scheduled to take place at the UN headquarters in New York City.
This visit will be El-Sisi's first to the US since he became Egypt's president in June.
Relations between the US and Egypt have wavered since the ouster of president Mohamed Morsi last summer, as US officials have expressed concern over a prolonged crackdown against the Muslim Brotherhood leader's supporters and Islamist sympathisers.
In October of last year, Washington withheld from the Egyptian government deliveries of tanks, fighter aircraft, helicopters and missiles as well as $260 million in cash aid, pending progress in democracy and human rights.
Egypt's Prime Minister Ibrahim Mahlab visited Washington earlier this month to attend a summit of African leaders.
Egypt has been among the largest beneficiaries of US military and economic aid for decades pursuant to a 1979 peace treaty with Washington's close ally Israel.
