No Democracy without Opposition*


Democracy can not be completed without the presence of a strong opposition standing  on equal footing with the ruling regime . Actually there is more than one opposition now
in Egypt, but blocked or has faint sound. The channels of Islamic groups  provided an  exceptional service to the court .The splutter of speeches, insults and threats and intimidation , by mainstream religious leaders - and the Muslim Brotherhood in particular presented to prosecutors compelling evidence of their involvement in their induction of ordinary people and participation in crimes punishable by law .
The opposition leaders  must have freedom of expression  and people  must have the right to listen to them , in order to judge them and know  extent of their devotion and loyalty to Egypt .
So there is no solution but to shed light on the opposing views and respond to their  argument and evidence  .The local and satellite channels must give opportunity to wise opponents , both in the mainstream of religious or other political forces , and the broadcasters interview with them without bias or imposing their own views  .  Media is not required to turn into trials of dissidents or to become agents on behalf of governments . The core mission of Media is to provide free expression and opportunity for all political currents and trends  by people who respect and abide by the decent dialogue and realize the importance of people to know all the facts unequivocally . Debate is an art of dialogue that obviates all other weapons. It eliminates spend the  disease defamation and fabrication of charges and rumors that prevailed among us recently , and at the same time lends vitality of political life and television. Prepare us for the upcoming elections and the presidency of the Parliament
The free dialogue if it starts on our formal TV will turn this magical device to  a school , a  public University that qualifies  uneducated  people in the art of conversation and give knowledge and make them understand the value of peaceful opposition. They  will not resort to outlaw practices which racked Egypt over the past years disrupting production and causing the unemployment of thousands of workers and threatening to bankrupt its treasury
