This Ungodly constitution

Today is Christmas, and 'tis weekend was the one when the vote was decided, the vote which would solidify the future of Al-Misr as either chaotic or steer its course the way of Morsi's and the Muslim Brotherhood's and the Wahhabis' preferred Islamic Emirate. After offering the usual condoleances on this date once devoted to the great Sol, Helios' Roman counterpart, I would venture into condemning most solemnly the results and the premises. The new Egypt, adding to already existing grievances and cracks in a body which has experienced the most since the days of Narmer, the great constitutor, will by the blessing of its electoral majority be brandef from infancy with the exuberatingly intolerant features just laid before the public to vote on, a vote as disgraceful as the very notion of faith as a constitutor of the decisively unknown.

Freedom of religion, the notion I have already disgussed, will now most ungodly be outlined in the new supreme governing document, for separation betweeen state and religion will not, and only for the Abrahamites of Christianity, Judaism and Islam. Religious laws outlined by scholars of faith will apply for all, with separate doctrines supposedly sanctioned by the creed of Jesus and Moses for these separately "protected" entities. Now I ask, on a tour to this great Egypt, so greatly rememberer and disgussed long before any Christian, Muslim or even Jew set his foot on this Ancient-during-Antiquity soil, which one will I be subject of? Shall I even be allowed to enter? To consider any human of any particular faith opinions since birth, to deem these factors subject to immovable and irrerasable body chemistry is the most gruesome reflection of the spirit of intolerance, now on this merry date so grimly exposed in the developing world as well as the supposedly developed one. Our precious, religious bodily fluids, now and always under attack by ungodly, unjoyous secularine.

The same scholars that have merrily and publicly argued the positions of segregating beaches so as to keep the sexes separate, to drive a wedge between father and daughter, husband and wife, fiancée and fiancée, to erect a Saudiesque Egyptian Prohibition of alcohol based on (or do I think too much of these people's self-discipline?) these bigots' own preferences, and even the seemingly pointless as well as reprehensible idea of covering the "ungodly" (to my non-existing Christian self as well, I assume) Sphinx in a waxen layer. 

This suggestion of a sham of a constituting document, better fit, or rather not for the times of Moses, St Augustine and Abu Bahkr ought to be embalmed in wax so thick it can just barely be read, for nobody should "have" to read it, as a remnant of the days when it was adopted by a liberated people with the common audacity of elevating their faithfulness beyond the sphere of contained harm into a beacon of irrationalitarchy (irrationalitycracy doesn't work as well, but sounds like "crazy"). 

Egypt did not see the very first dawn of the Arab Spring but has guided the Great Revolt against authority and the ways things were meekly done yesterday, and now aspiring to guide it back into a still unbreakable era of stagnation it is indignantly necessary for the conscience of those freeminded to expose and erase this fact by pointing the finger at its every single daunting occurence. I am certain that Jesus bar Joseph, as well as the worshippers of Sol would stubbornly agree.

And yes, the powers of presidency have been greatly expanded so to revive much of the glory of the Pharaoh. Combined with the fundamentalist approach, it's a real horrorshow for those interested in Bronze Age absolute monarchy-theocracies. A real horrorshow, prostrating brothers... As the word of god himself put it, conveniently brought to us by men, all legislation belongs to him, and thus to those who wrote the thing.

Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays! *<:-D::::



A Mecca for the creator of poetry - much more so than the Bible, which is more for tedious history book dustbins like myself - a Hell for the purveyors of constitutional law, and their involuntary customers. Including myself, should I ever visit the land of the Pharaohs who never knew a word of this. Like myself... *<B-):::

Postscript: Now that isn't entirely true. While the rulers of old Egypt and the builders of the ungodly Sphinx knew little of the "word of God", I have memorized certain passages I find evocative, including this highly recommended Sura, the 109th. Unfortunately, it is very short and thence placed at the end (or is it the other way?). No matter which, readit!
