Attacks on Coptic Christian churches in Egypt continued for a second day Thursday, the country’s state-run news agency said, as Muslim Brotherhood supporters torched a church in a province outside of Cairo.

Egypt's MENA agency said supporters of ousted President Mohammed Morsi set fire to the Prince Tadros church in the province of Fayoum, where three similar attacks occurred on other churches the day before.

Ishaq Ibrahim from The Egyptian Initiative for Personal Rights group, documented as many as 39 incidents of violence against churches, monasteries, Coptic schools and shops in different parts of the country on Wednesday. Violence across Egypt in the past two days has left at least 638 dead and 4,200 injured, according to Health Ministry figures.

Looking to crack down on church-related attacks, Egyptian authorities on Thursday referred 84 people in Suez, some Muslim Brotherhood protesters, to military prosecutors on charges of murder and burning churches, the MENA news agency said, Reuters reports.

The attacks drew a sharp rebuke from State Department Spokeswoman Jen Psaki, who said they “risk further aggravating an already fragile atmosphere.”

“We are outraged and deplore in the strongest terms the reprehensible attacks of the past few days against numerous Coptic Christian churches,” Psaki said during a Thursday briefing. “There can be absolutely no place for such violence in Egypt, and we call on all of Egypt's leaders to condemn such attacks.”

“The government has a responsibility to create an atmosphere where Egyptians can exercise their universal rights, including free assembly, expression, and media,” she added.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

مقارنة بين الأخذ بنظام المجلسين والأخذ بنظام المجلس الواحد

حجج ومبررات الأخذ بنظام المجلسين . تعرض الباحث في المطلب السابق لحجج ومبررات أنصار الأخذ بنظام المجلس الواحد، وفي المقابل فإنه يوجد اتجاه في الفقه مؤيد للأخذ بنظام المجلسين وقد صاغ العديد من الحجج والمبررات تأييدًا لرأيه، وهي تتمثل في رفع مستوى كفاءة المجالس النيابية، ومنع التسرع في التشريع، ومنع استبداد السلطة التشريعية، فنظام المجلسين يخفف من حدة النزاع بين البرلمان، والسلطة التنفيذية،  ولا غنى عنه للأخذ به في النظام الفيدرالي، وتمثيل الطبقات الممتازة في أحد المجلسين (الأرستقراطية)، تأثير نظام المجلسين على شكل الحكومات ومدة استمرارها، وانتشار نظام المجلسين في برلمانات العالم. وسوف يتعرض الباحث لبيان تلك الحجج على التفصيل فيما يلي: أولاً: رفع مستوى كفاءة المجالس النيابية: وذلك باختلاف المجلسين في التشكيل بحيث إنه قد يكون من ذوي الكفايات أو المصالح الكبيرة من يأبى الدخول في معركة الانتخابات أو من يدخل فيها ولكنه لا ينجح. فأمثال هؤلاء يمكن الاستفادة من كفايتهم وذلك بإدخالهم أحد المجلسين (المجلس الأعلى) عن طريق التعيين.

A Point of View

A Point of View bbc.co.uk | August 23 The characters in Eric Ambler's pre-war spy novels are adrift in a fractured and uncertain Europe, manipulated by forces they neither understand nor control. The books hold an uncomfortable mirror to the modern world, says philosopher John Gray. A once-famous writer recalls making a curious discovery as a small boy: Among the most peculiar memories of my childhood is that of discovering what was inside the ottoman. This was a sofa with a hinged seat covering a trunk-like storage space. Inside, I found dozens of very small human hands and feet. They were beautifully shaped and delicately carved and had been made in beech and boxwood... They were the hands and feet for the new marionettes. The author is Eric Ambler, whose 1930s novels created a new type of thriller. Born in 1909 into a family of music hall entertainers who ran a puppet show, Ambler seems to have become a writer almost by chance. A scholarship boy who trained as an engineer, ...
