Young Rape Victim Plans Return to Tahrir Square
The Christian Diarist ^ | August 18, 2012 | JP

Posted on 08/18/2012 10:00:03 AM PDT by CHRISTIAN DIARIST

Natasha Smith has a death wish. Barely a month and half following what she described as a “horrific sexual and physical attack” in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, the foolish young British journalist is planning to return to the scene of the crime.

Smith insists she has learned the hard lesson from her last visit to Egypt, a nation that has fallen into the hands of radical Islamists.

“I was overambitious,” she says. “I was also cursed with ‘Invincibility of Youth’ syndrome, with symptoms including naivety, impulsiveness, recklessness, carelessness, idealism and underestimating danger and difficulty.”

Yet, she’s going back to the land of the Pharaohs, where female journalists like her, like CBS News reporter Lara Logan, are ripe targets for Islamist mobs who think it perfectly okay to gang rape Western women since they are all whores in the eyes of Allah.

Smith, 26-years-old, believes her attack in Tahrir Square has given her purpose: To use her journalism skills to share the stories of Egyptian women “plagued by the sexual harassment epidemic.”

That’s why she’s making reservations for Cairo. “I absolutely have to make my documentary about sexual harassment and assault in Egypt,” she says.

Smith should follow Logan’s example. After the CBS war correspondent was brutally and repeatedly raped last year in Tahrir Square, she didn’t even think about resuming her assignment in the dangerous Egyptian capital.

Logan now realizes that Islam is not the “religion of peace” its adherents claim. Otherwise she would not have been gang raped by a mob of Egyptian men. Otherwise Egypt’s Coptic Christian population would not be subject to brutal persecution by the country’s supposed peace-loving Islamists.

Smith, on the other hand, remains in denial. “I understand,” she says, “why many people feel I am foolish to plan to return to Egypt.” But fear not, the young journo says. She promises to “never take the kind of risks” she did the last time she was in Cairo and she anticipates a “wide support network to ensure (her) safety.”

But the risk is in returning to Egypt. And there is no support network wide enough to ensure Smith’s safety if she is set upon, yet again, by a mob of Islamist men that would love to get its hands on “a blonde young Western girl,” as she described herself following the horrific attack she suffered little more than six weeks ago.

Recounting her near-death experience in Egypt, Smith says that, while she did not consider herself religious at the time, she repeatedly pleaded, aloud, “Please God. Please make it stop.”

And God heard her plea. And He made it stop.

Now, Smith is planning to tempt God by placing herself in harms way yet again. And woe to the young journo if He withholds His protection on her foolish return to Islamist Egypt.

She won't provoke the young men if she wears the proper attire. Can one pick up a burka at Sears?

“I was overambitious,” she says. “I was also cursed with ‘Invincibility of Youth’ syndrome, with symptoms including naivety, impulsiveness, recklessness, carelessness, idealism and underestimating danger and difficulty.”

She was more likely cursed with the the disease of liberalism, which causes people to project what they want to see onto others. She wanted to see an Arab spring of the religion of peace, and probably to vinicate her beliefs against the war on terror and George Bush. When she got instead was Islam, as practiced by actual muslims.

Young Lady, you are a numb skull . The muslim brotherhood has begun to crucify it’s enemies inside Egypt. Stay the hell out. No one there cares how enlightened or cathartic your experience was, you will meet satanic tragedy in Egypt.

She reminds me of that stupid idiot who went into a polar bear exhibition....to “hug” the polar bear.

Instead she was brutally attacked for all her “compassion”.

If she gets attacked again, it would be a bit of a stretch to call it rape.

This woman is asking for suicide if she does not realize that Islam is nothing but hatred and insanity towards women.

Are people really this stupid?
