#2 An expat Coptic Egyptian friend writes:

I never comment on religious issues or have any religion posts or even read religious posts as a rule, but this is worth mentioning for many historic and political reasons: this woman is the first Christian woman to be a governor of a province in Egypt. Dr. Manal Mikhail is the new Governor of the Province of Damietta. She is the second woman governor in history. There are also 4 more women deputy governors, young and progressive. If all that means anything, it means it is another step in the right direction, trying to cleanse the old dirt accumulated in the past 40 years and fighting the Moselm Brotherhood/Wahhabi/Islamist backward/evil ideology.
