After the Egyptian revolution, Egyptians showed the whole world that Muslims and Christians are one united nation. You can take, break everything they have and tear them down. However, they will rise again like a skyscraper and build themselves again into one United Nation!

People try to separate them, and break the rope between them. As this bond is rare to find in any country. Muslims celebrate Christians feasts and Christians celebrate Muslims feats. "Respect and protect each other" is their main aim. This was their and only weapon during any revolution to stand still and fight back. It was build 5000 years ago and is continuing on, despite the varying beliefs. At the end, we all celebrate one feast called , being Egyptian and proud.

During the revolution their slogan was " Religion is for God, Nation is for Everyone". Through the centuries the Egyptian nation was formed and its national and political unity was undivided for thousands of years with only a few exceptions, because ‘Religion is for God; the Nation is for Everyone’ was at the core of its composition since the beginning of civilization until today’s revolution. The 25 revolution and the " Days of the president departure " embraced  many portraits one and most important of them was while the Muslims were performing their noon prayers Christians used to protect them and while the Christians used to pray Muslims used to protect also them.  Hand in hand against the Force men of the former President "Husni Mubarak".

Despite what enemies and unknown sources who tried to blow up churches and say it was the Muslims they are the terrorists, we never cared about such gossips. They try and Try and with every fall , we rise up from the ground and win again. Churches were bombed on the night of the New Year of 2011 in Alexandria and Another Church was blown after the step down of the former president. Sympathy for whom wants to destroy our relationship. However we all replied by one sentence " I am Egyptian and I am against terrorism’  meaning we are Egyptians no matter what is my religion and no one can cause a break between us through terror acts".

You can feel the Religious harmony in the streets of Cairo. You feel the love among them by taking a look at the street Art and Graffiti of Egyptian Youth trying to express their feelings, anger and sadness for what is going on. One famous symbol was the united Muslim Crescent and Cross of the Christians stating that "We are all brother and sisters" and "We are all against the regime".. Another famous one viewing a live view from a protest  of a Muslim holding the Quran in one hand and with the other holding a hand of a Christian holding the Bible. Other murals bear slogans said, “No Way Back,” “We Make a Better Tomorrow” and  “January 25". This Street art created by young Egyptians reveal a strong sense of national pride and optimism.

On the day called "Martyrs' Sunday"  which was celebrated by Egyptians of both religions showed affirmation of national unity is in struggle. The adoption of slogans and symbols of Muslim-Christian unity is particularly important in a context where the Coptic community has been the target of a recent series of deadly attacks. It was said By Maha Abdel Rahman, a lecturer on Egyptian politics and society at the University of Cambridge "The united front which the pro-democracy protesters have used shows that Egyptians, once united, can see through and subvert the regime's manipulation".

Unity, this is what makes a country different from the other. Unity brings warmth, strength and power. It is what makes a country strong enough to defeat the enemy and get through the hardest obstacles. Remember always don't be afraid, your voice counts and believe in yourself. You can be the one who actually makes a difference in this world. Turn the smaller picture you have of your country in your room into a bigger Panel that the whole world can see. Your country is your responsibility, scream her name, embrace her love and recall your duty!
