This editorialist says that the loss Egypt suffered as a result of the recent church attack in Alexandria is similar to the defeat suffered by Israel during the 1967 war. Only this time, he says, one part of the Egyptian community [implying Coptic community] views the bombing as an attack on themselves only.

The author predicts that the attack will lead to a harsh security crackdown, as Egyptian authorities fight their "war on terror." He says that such a war will take considerable time and have questionable results, citing America's failure to capture Usāmah Bin Lādin after the attacks of September 11, 2001.

Furthermore, he calls on the National Democratic Party to reconcile with opposition parties, criticizes the Muslim Brotherhood for their "die-hard ideology" and disloyalty to Egypt, and accuses Copts of "revolting."
