Do you like this story?

But, according to commentor ‘muslimah’, islam EMANCIPATED women! Her husband gives her her rights, so it must be true!

Yet when I find stories like this, those idiot brainwashed muslimahs are nowhere to be found…

Egypt voices: Sexual harassment

Seven Egyptian women talk about their experience of sexual harassment on the streets of Cairo. It is an increasingly common problem, with a recent survey suggesting more than four out of five women have been sexually harassed, while nearly two-thirds of men admitted assaulting women.

    I suggest we all stay out of Muslim Egypt, which is an under statement.  Those poor people.  Maybe we should all lend them a gun, knife, and sleeping pills with instructions.

    Hey, Noha.

    I don’t care about you. You wanted islam you got it. You enable islam, live with it. You practice islam, it’s on you, toots. You’re all just too stupid to realize or admit that it’s islam that has corrupted not just your culture but every culture brutally raped and converted by islam.

    Enjoy your “democracy” that YOU wanted. Just don’t come running to our non islamic countries when you silly bints realize you’ve bitten off more than you can chew.

    I hold the same contempt for you muslim women as I do your men. The ONLY people I care about in your country are the non-muslims.

    The women of Islam should get off their fat arses and become apostates in their millions.
    They have it in their power to destroy the religion of peace.
    As IC says, to some extent they’re the authors of their own misfortune!
    If some Islamic lady adopted the role of Queen Boudicca;she would gain the respect and support of the civilised world.
    Agressive Islamic Amazons??what a subject for a fantasy film!

     I finally lost the one tiny speck of hope for kuranimal women after reading, in the A.P. and watching an interview on one of the alphabet news interviews with Egyptian women about the “virginity checks” and other harassing of women after the Egyptian demonstrations. BOTH of them said more or less that this was because there was NO islam in their government and that their cultural was not islamic enough.

    I was floored. Mubarak may have been a dictator, but, like Sadam Hussein, he kept a lid on rampant islamism which allowed for those stupid broads to have the few freedoms they have. Without a clamp on mo’s death cult it’s only going to get worse.

    They’re like victims of domestic abuse: it’s everyone else’s fault, never the abusers.
