I am not surprised by this.......there are many religions that sprung up or were tilted to rationalize the belittlement and ownership of women as property...

I am sure these nice young Muslim me will say the women asked for it by actually being in public.....

Outfitting the young ladies with Kalashnikovs and multipe full magazines would go a long way toward restoring order ...

I think this is the original blog - in any case it has video and pictures of the incidents.

http://misrdigital.blogspirit.com/

I did not see any obvious nudity but there is violence and I cannot guarentee there is not some nudity in the videos as I did not watch them all - best to consider this site possible not work safe.

Here are two sample work safe pictures

"The state media ignored the incidents..."

Didn't happen if you didn't see it in the news...

"the attackers targeted veiled as well as unveiled women"

I thought veiled women were protected by the modesty of their veils and were supposed to be safe. Isn't that what the Australian imam said? Sarc/off

This is just unspeakably awful.

What a terrible religion and what a despicable, corrupt and utterly worthless Government Egypt has.

What Egypt and all unreformed Islamic countries need is an "Underground Railroad" of sorts, to allow women who want to escape this madness an opportunity to do so.  It would provide them with secret transit to neighboring countries that have some degree of sanity, and an ability to start a new life with a new identity, to shield them from the repercussions of their 'families'..

Just as Christians played a major role in the abolition of Slavery here in the USA, so they could also play a role in the abolition of  the slavery of women in the Muslim world.

Thanks to the internet, funding would such an organization would be easy.  It could be done via PayPal   or any other preexisting payment mechanism.

The old bulls in a polygamous society have to get rid of the young males so the old bulls can have all the young females for themselves.

It's not genetic (humanity is not that separated) but it does seem to be cultural. In other countries (not only the Western ones) people can ordinarily walk down the street without being attacked. This makes it seem as if the order for them to go with a male relative is credible. The Islamic world is in need of a huge cultural overhaul.

Not most, that is too extreme. Former Afghanistan seems to be the only one, unless another freeper knows otherwise.

"The Islamic world is in need of a huge cultural overhaul."

That is the understatement of the decade.

I think the role of parenthood and Islamic preaching is missing.

Boy, SOMEONE needs to wake up and smell the blood!

Things like this happen BECAUSE of Muslim Parenting and BECAUSE of Islamic preaching.

When it's drummed into these young thugs minds from the time they can walk that women and christians and jews and other infidels are at the same level as animals and that Islam and Muslim men are the answer to every question the universe has ever asked or will ever ask, the result is that there is no respect for people, no respect for life, no respect for property, no respect for anything that isn't islamic.

Man, did I say that in one sentence??? ;)

That's the root of this kind of problem. Not because of the ABSENSE of Islam, but because of the PRESENCE of Islam.

And MANY,MANy, MANY more people will have to die before islam understand this, if they ever do which I doubt.

When muslim men are TAUGHT that torture, rape, beheading, maiming, murder, kidnapping, gunrunning, drugrunning, arson and the breaking of every other law of man or God are not only condoned by Islam, but ENCOURAGED as a method of spreading Islam, what do they expect the end result to be???? No different than the Nazi's.

shrug

Happy Eid! This has the makings of an episode of South Park.

I wouldn't overlook the role of rap music in this type of stuff. When I was in Morocco and Tunisia a few years ago, I couldn't believe how popular rap was. Combined with some good 'ole Islamic hatred, you've got a volatile mix.

This kind of reminds me of that episode of "wilding" in Central Park not too long ago.
