Can I Get Some Solidarity Please?!

I usually try to keep this positive, but I'm honestly a little disgusted by some of the comments and posts I've seen from my group of Egyptian friends. While some have been constructive and inspiring, and full of heart (and tears) for the people in Egypt, whether they are currently there or not, others are starting to throw around some negativity and division that can only ultimately divide and destroy at best. So, I am going to say this once for all I've read and heard, and for all I'm going to read and hear:

• Just because you are for or against Mubarak does not mean the other side is evil, wrong or reckless, or simply detached and ignorant. The "other" should be allowed to present his/her argument and may the majority win - that's what democracy and freedom of speech are about. And that's what this revolution is about.
• Just because you think this is enough and let's compromise, does not mean those that want to charge forward and uproot ALL that is corrupt NOW are reckless, ignorant, or do not care about the destruction that is happening.
• Just because you are afraid and traumatized by the events, does not mean you can abandon those that knew this was going to happen and are gritting their teeth and charging forward, with their injuries still bleeding, and then also turn around and attack their loyalty to country, people, and faith for doing so.
• Please do not use religion, Bible or Koran verses to justify your position on wether to move forward with the protests and the revolution or not.
• Just because a corrupt regime says it's going to make changes in the next 7 months, don't expect people to believe it and not be suspicious of what's really going to happen when compared with its 30-year track record. And when compared with what happened the very next day after its announcement.
• Just because there is not one opposition leader everyone can agree on right now, does not mean we should keep those who destroyed the country and its beautiful people over the last 30 years in power. That's what elections are for.
• Just because there is legitimate fear of the unknown, of what's to come, and possible exploitation of certain groups that may take Egypt under, does not mean people should accept a known corruption over an unknown one. Give them a choice to make their own destiny. With choice comes responsibility.
• Just because you are an Egyptian on the ground in Egypt, do not accuse those Egyptians who are abroad as being detached and can do "nothing better but talk" because they're not in the middle of it.
• You don't know what's in their hearts.
• You don't know the reasons that led up to each of these persons leaving Egypt.
• You don't know what these people are doing from abroad to help lift Egypt up high - things that cannot be done under oppression from within.

Love one another. Support one another. Keep guilt trips, negativity, and hate to a minimum, and hold sensitivity and respect up high. We are all over the world. We are from different economic backgrounds. We have different political views. We have different religions and faiths. We have different aspirations and dreams. But we are all Egyptians.
