Egypt’s Revolution: The first 100 days Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 12, 2011
A revolution releases latent forces within a people. Scholars differ over what is the essence of the French Revolution, disagree about how long it lasted, debate its results and even discuss when it began. But they agree that what began in 1789 was very important. It changed the whole concept of a revolution.
Why Irshad Manji, not Tawakkol Karman is media darlingProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 16, 2011
For the last 10 years women in Islam and their status in Muslim countries were two popular topics in Western media. Muslim women, like Irshad Manji and Ayaan Ali, have become media darlings because they wrote books smearing their religion, and called for the "liberation" of Muslim women. But when revolutionary Muslim women like Asmaa Mahfouz and Tawakkol Karman, an Egyptian and a Yemeni, recently made history by leading their countries towards dignity, democracy, liberty and social justice, both were ignored by the Western media.
Don’t blame the Egyptian RevolutionProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
May 25, 2011
Western media has no good word about any of the Arab revolutions including that of Egypt. But Arab revolutions are all success stories. Even those who have involved violence are far less bloody than that of the French Revolution.
I have a dream: Palestine will be free Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
March 20, 2024
This poignant painting is by Palestinian artist Fayez Ehsani of Gaza. So far, he has survived the Israeli genocide of his people-at least for now, as I write from so far away, in a country where I am safe and free. But he is not.
It's a myth that religion and politics don't mixProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
June 17, 2011
When asked the question, "should politicians allow their religious beliefs to affect political decisions?" the overwhelming majority of Canadians these days are likely to answer in the negative.
Yemen's revolution and the US interventionProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
June 23, 2011
Yemen's revolution is not covered by the Western media. The US direct intervention in Yemen is set against the people's struggle for freedom and democracy. During the last five months 1000s of civilians were killed or wounded by President Ali Abdullah Saleh's regime. The US still has the option to avoid more bloodshed by encouraging Saleh to step down.
BUDDY: Inventing really smart stuffProf. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
July 13, 2011
As an academic I, along with my graduate students, have spent the last 45 research years inventing digital chips which are smarter, faster and consume less power. When these chips hit the consumer market they were given the name 'smart chips', and the devices they support are 'smart phones,' or 'smart this' and 'smart that.'
Europe: The Muslims are coming?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
July 29, 2011
The Muslims are coming is an Islamophobic propaganda that has inspired Oslo terrorist Anders Behring Breivik and is advanced by the extreme right and Zionists to mean that Western Muslims will turn the West into a worse place - more Western initiated wars, more debt, less morality, less social justice, less freedom and less education and health care. But how was one Muslim-ruled European country and how was the rest of Europe at that time?
August 3: How did Mubarak end up in court?Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
August 10, 2011
"It is a systemic genocide which lasted 30 years against 88 million Egyptians. This crime is committed by no other than the Mubaraks; the man, his two sons and his wife," wrote Abdul Halim Qandeel in his column of May 5, 2008.
My childhood's Ramadan and Eid Prof. Dr. Mohamed Elmasry
August 22, 2011
Ramadan and Eid bring to me so many happy memories. My experience of being a child in Cairo during the month of Ramadan in the 1950’s can easily fill up several memory chips.
