My topic today will be about the effective role of the
religion men on the politics inside any country especially Egypt.
During the pharaohs rule in Egypt the religious men were
very effective about anything concerning about the Kingdom and the Role of the
king. Because most of the people in Egypt they were illiterate so
they were taking their information about anything in life from the priests how
to drink, eat, married, wear and everything .
Normally most of the kings obeyed them by giving them all
they need from land, money, temples anything they ask for it they get it,
because they had knew there effective role on the people .
For example if they want to built a tomb for the king or
even a pyramid all they have to say that those kings represents the son of the
Gods on land and there well so if you want to be pleased from gods you most
obey them and you will get a better life in the other world.
Even if a woman wants
to rule the Country, the priests can arrange that, take Example for that what
happened with Hatshepsut and how she reached to the Throne.
In addition, the same thing had been during the Greco Roman
period in Egypt and Especially in Alexandria if the Emperor or the king want to
control the country he keep telling that he is the son of Osiers.
But during the Christian period it was the same but with a
little differences, for example in Europe the Kings had started to make deals
with the Priests to use the power of
believing in God to guide the poor people to use them in their crusades
campaigns to Jerusalem.
Now for Muslims in the Arab world especially in Egypt they
are moving according to their Sheikhs if they said anything about any topic you
find thousands of believers surrounding them.
Finally, you find out that the main problem for the
Egyptians that their religion is inside their heart not in their minds.
In my humble opinion I think that this problem is good and
bad at the same time :
Good , because it makes no one able to change your believes .
Bad, because that makes you blind to see the mistakes of the
others when they start to direct you in way they want using this beautiful
thoughts and believes to get their own benefits
