Another gang rape in Egypt

[jimnyc]

Remember last year and Lara Logan? Look it up if not. Anyway, here we go again. It's bad enough over here with all of the unrest. But do these people not have ANY decency? The violence and abuse over there towards women is completely out of control. My second thought is, if it were at the Square, why didn't anyone intervene? I asked the same thing about Lara too. Always a blind eye.

Foreign reporter raped in Tahrir Square

Hospital reports Dutch journalist underwent gang rape in Cairo square several days ago. Reporter released from hospital after undergoing surgery

Egyptian media reported Sunday that a Dutch journalist was raped by several men in Cairo's Tahrir Square a few days ago.

Dina Zakaria, a journalist reporting for the "Egypt 25" news channel affiliated with the January 25 revolution, shared the incident on her Facebook page Sunday: "A Dutch journalist in Tahrir was raped by men who dub themselves revolutionists. Her condition is severe and she is hospitalized."

Meanwhile, a state hospital issued a statement that the journalist was admitted after being raped by five men several days ago. She underwent surgery and has been released. It was also reported that Egypt's Prosecutor General Talaat Abdallah ordered his staff to go to the hospital to hear the woman's story and reveal the circumstances behind the violent attack.

Egyptian women face sexual harassment and assaults on a daily basis. During and after the revolution, there have been a number of case of foreign reporters who were sexually assaulted, such as Sonia Dridi and Lara Logan.

Sexual harassment is not new within the conservative Egyptian society, yet the extent of this phenomenon has grown and become more violent and visible. The Egyptian law defines assault as a crime, but not sexual assault.

The United Nations claimed last month that it holds some 25 sexual assault reports that occurred in Tahrir Square, the center of the protest, in one week in the beginning of the year. The organization dedicated to preventing sexual assaults, whose activists patrolled Tahrir Square, reported 19 assaults on January 25 alone – the second anniversary of the uprising against Hosni Mubarak. Among the reports was also a case of a girl who was raped by a sharp instrument.

Must have been some Coptic Christians. Muslim men don't rape women,they revere them, according to Jahil.

Um... Don't go to a place where people are in the middle of a revolution where there is no police presence if you want to be 100% sure of your safety?

How's that for good advice?

Oh, and Suez is probably not a good place to be now either. They have guns this time and are shooting each other.

Um... Don't go to a [MUSLIM] place where people are in the middle of a revolution where there is no police presence if you want to be 100% sure [YOU ARE NOT RAPED BY MUSLIMS]?

I corrected your statement above. You're welcome, dumb ass.

Right, because only Muslims gang rape.

[jafar00]

Right, because only Muslims gang rape.

If you read this forum lately, only Muslims do bad things.

[Marcus Aurelius]

Right, because only Muslims gang rape.

In this case, yes... it was Muslims.

Only Muslims do bad things, in the name of peace, dumb ass.

Only Muslims do bad things, and lie about it, claiming it wasn't 'really' Muslims that did it, dumb ass.

[logroller]

In this case, yes... it was Muslims.

Not all Muslims rape women, and not all rapes are committed by Muslims-- so why is their being muslim relevant? And furthermore, why troll jafar about it? Everytime there's a shooting, is it justified for antigun proponents to blame the nra?
I do find it troubling that, allegedly, Egypt has no sexual assault laws; but that's the issue, not Islam. There certainly are some other troubling things about the so-called "conservative" cultures of predominantly muslim societies, but western societies aren't devoid of sex-related crimes. Human trafficking for example. Is that capitalism's fault?

Its arab spring II. The egyptians want a real democracy and not an islamic run theocracy. So they are taking to the streets again. If they are ever going to have sexual assault laws they have to have a legitimate govt. Without laws to reign them in many men will do as they please with women. If you don't have murder laws murders will be committed.

islam is the source of the laws in egypt and the rest of the ME. As long as it remains in the govt there will never be any real protection for women or the people in general. At least part of the population in egypt seems to be recognizing that fact.

Fucking animals.

Wherever humans gather in large numbers, crimes are committed. Why the focus on Egyptians? As if they are the only ones who do it.

All rapists are animals, fuckwit.

What I find especially offensive is your misogynistic and ignorant comment:

Um... Don't go to a place where people are in the middle of a revolution where there is no police presence if you want to be 100% sure of your safety?

How's that for good advice?

Oh, and Suez is probably not a good place to be now either. They have guns this time and are shooting each other.

As if that excuses rape, or any other violent action. As if it was her fault. As if you were excusing the actions of the mob. As if she deserved it Is that what you were doing? Because it sure seems like it...

Go fuck a donkey.

The title of this thread is 'Another gang rape in Egypt'. It refers, obviously, to (a) the gang rape which occurred, and (b) its location, in Egypt.

I've been reading some stats on Egypt. Apparently, 94 percent of Egypt is composed of Muslims. I strongly suspect, therefore, that Islam has SOME form of connection ....

... and especially considering your observation that Egypt has no sexual assault laws. Now ... could that JUST BE, because ... those same Muslims are governed by Sharia Law ?

Apparently, in Egypt, Christian families can be governed by Canon law, and Jewish families by Jewish law (... which is interesting). However, with a very large majority of Egyptians being Muslim (nearly 19 in 20) ... what's the likelihood that what we have here is a definably Muslim issue ?

Perhaps Jafar would be better employed in proving, against overwhelming odds, that those guilty 'were not Muslims' (.. should be easy, in fact, since so many Muslims AREN'T Muslims, according to Jafar ...). If on the other hand he can't, well .. I'd say that Islamic Law, evidently prejudiced against conferring even basic rights to women, has to be a factor in what the rapists needed to be concerned with.
