“Usually we hassle the girls who dress inappropriately,” he says. “And veiled girls who are extremely beautiful – then we can’t help it.”

“We’re an Eastern culture, so it’s all right for me to yell out – when I’m attracted to someone, I do it,”

The Egyptian Center for Women’s Rights found in a 2008 study that 83 percent of women are sexually harassed and roughly half of Egypt's women experience such treatment on a daily basis.

The part about women been sexual harassed daily i can believe. Me and my GF went to Egypt in march and she got loads of attention and basically harassed by most of the men that she made me go with her to the toilet and stand outside ever time we weren't at the hotel. She told me that she was worried that they might rape her and that she felt really unconformable walking around because of all the staring and shouting that the men gave her. My GF is very attractive (i am not just saying this its true ), shes part Japanese, part Thai, part Arabic and part something else i cant remember and everyone thought that she was an Egyptian. So if there like this with my GF i think that this would be alot worse for all the women their especially if they are attractive.

Do you think this will lead to a muslim brotherhood takeover in Egypt? Our government here in Lebanon is now ever more under de facto Hezbollah control after the new cabinet was elected. I fear whats going in our region is going to be more harmful to the US and the West than to anyone else.

I wouldnt say "anyone else",its gonna be the worst for sure for your region itself......

Though the U.N. finally did borrow enough balls to make public the indictment and accompanying arrest warrants over the Hariri assassination....So lebanon has a chance before it to stand up and free itself from hez,and with the unrest in syria causing large problems for hez there,its the best chance youve had in a long while...

Dr. Amani Tawfiq, a professor at Egypt’s Mansoura University, said “If Egypt wants to slowly but surely get out of its economic situation and address poverty in the country, the jizya has to be imposed on the Copts.”

Hazim Abu Isma’il, who is running for Egypt’s presidency, vowed he would impose the jizya on Egypt’s Christians.
