CAIRO: An angry mob of around 300 men near Egypt’s Tahrir Square attacked and ripped three women’s clothes off and chased them near one of the field hospitals by the square.

The state-run al-Ahram newspaper reported that the women, of an unknown age, had their clothes torn from their bodies by the mob, assaulted and were then chased near the frontlines of the ongoing clashes with police on Sunday early afternoon.

The report said that protesters nearby who saw the incident intervened and rescued the women from further assault.

On Friday, as tens of thousands converged on the main Egyptian square in Cairo, more and more reports of sexual assaults against women once again came to fruition.

One incident that sparked a fervor of worries occurred near the Pizza Hut on Mohamed Mahmoud Street, with dozens of men allegedly brutally assaulting a woman on the street. According to a doctor, the woman was the victim of “mass rape.”

While the incident was reported on Twitter, a group of male protesters reportedly intervened and were able to remove the woman from the assault. Those who first revealed the incident refused to speak to the media, including Bikyamasr.com on the incident, but it again highlighted the fear women have of taking to Tahrir during mass protests.

Other women on the micro-blogging site and on Facebook reported being groped and harassed while they were in Tahrir, including a number of female journalists.

As Pamela Geller calls them... ‘savages’. Quite apt description.

——Sounds like just another average day in Deetroit, Chicago, Philadelphia, etc., inner-city tribal parasite-infested “we got Rights” Zones......

Plenty of issues in these inner city hell holes, but mass rape isn’t one of them....At least not yet....

That's odd. Muslim men are usually ripping the clothes off of little boys.

I’ve been reading about this in the foreign press. The women seem to be anti-Morsi demonstrators or journalists, and the men are bearded wierdies from the mosques, who are counterattacking now.

Was Helen Thomas one of them? They’ve been going after newswomen. To them, she would be the pick of the crop.

Wasn't she entered in the Most Beautiful Camel competition?

“Besides, what’s wrong with them?”

Over a millenium of inbreeding for starters.

So I went to Cairo and a Benny Hill end credit sequence broke out. It’s obviously not as much fun in real life.

Obviously the MSM was right when they said the Arab Spring was about democracy. In this case 300 voted yes and 3 voted no. Not as lopsided as some Philly precincts but still a convincing landslide. /s

the women deserve taunts and scorn. They knew better going in.

You are correct. As Camille Paglia would have it, "Yes you have the right to go there, but damn woman-- what were you thinking?
