Today's secret society
Secret societies are defined as those small scale or large scale groups whose activities, members and rituals are kept from the mainstream societies. The existence of secret societies has a long history and there is not anything peculiar about it except for they are either good or bad to impact the political and social change of a society and they contribute in reshaping the usual doctrine of the society, Michael Benson writes, "such secret societies dates back to the medieval times when any belief or knowledge that disagreed with the dogma of the Church was punishable by death" (1). If I am allowed to comment, what Benson mentions as ‘Church' I would replace it with ‘terrorist', as no true religious body fans terrorism. They are the terrorists who first usurp doctrines, then holy places to jerk people's beliefs in order to dismantle nationhood from them.
Across the globe in all eras there has been reasoning, reasoning to punishment, reasoning for a cause, which probably in most of the cases goes with the state in order to avoid lawlessness and fanning anarchy. They are for a cause, in most cases which to spread fear, and so they promote a cause, as no secret society that ever existed on earth is in vain. They all had and still have one thing in common, to spread as much fear in the public as possible!
"Today, I don't say I'm Muslim or I'm Christian, I say, I'm Egyptian," (2) the saying of one of the hosts on Christmas Eve at Cairo's Coptic Cathedral no doubt expresses grief and sombreness out of fear of the massive suicide attacks that today no nation or country has remained free from. These words also elaborate the weakness of what the ‘secret group' would not like to hear, ‘nationhood'! They might have thought by doing such attacks they would tear-off nationalism among Egyptians by segregating them. The difference between the medieval age secret societies and this one is that unlike its predecessor groups, it no longer has remained a secret. The credit goes to the media covering, technological networked communications, encrypted techniques of deciphering secret codes, and of course to the weapons of destruction. But before forwarding to such weapons, comes the usage of modern coordinated equipment to stay updated.
Silke (2003) mentions "Most modern terrorist organizations are made up of a collection of cells rather loosely networked with each other and spread out over large geographical areas" (3). Thanks to the technocratic inventions that have made communication easier for us that today matters are settled non-face-to-face. Secret societies that in the past were dependant upon direct communication today are more independent to work separately.
The fear and shattered trust of Egyptians in Church bombings of 2011 have made things difficult to handle but easier to understand what today secret groups want. Acknowledgement, fame, fear, and racial prejudice at any cost, even if they have to blow away all their members!

About the Author
They say I am a philosopher, a poet, a person who knows the politicking going around every nook and cranny. I being a simple human being, enjoy the nerves lying in between distinguishing the mystery that unfolds the ongoing warfare truth holds and the ability to react to the warfare that goes on and on in the mind of a politicker, someone who knows the potential it takes to play with the words.
