CAIRO: More than 50 men were arrested on Monday, the first day of Eid Al-Adha, in downtown Cairo for alleged acts of sexual harassment targeting women in the street.
Fearing a repeat of acts that tend to happen on the first day every Eid, the Interior Ministry ordered a campaign to crack down on any further incidents, which led to the arrests.
The 50 were taken in and police reports filed against them for various offences including verbal harassment and catcalling, according to the local press. The men are currently in custody and will soon be referred to the prosecutors office.
Apparently, 15 of the men arrested are from governorates outside Cairo, including Menufia and Kafr El Sheikh, and had come to Cairo for the holidays.
On the first day of Eid El Fitr in October in Mohandiseen, 150 young men aged 15-22, physically attacked female pedestrians, tearing off some of their clothes. Thirty-eight of them were arrested; last month a teenager was sentenced to a year in prison for assaulting two women.

The next time some American feminist starts braying about a “culture of harassment” and “male patriarchy” in the United States, this article should be shoved in her face to show her what a real “culture of harassment” looks like.
Sounds like the initial episode of a bad rash--- the first day is the worst. What the hades is an Eid anyway? Just another lovely festival brought by the ROP.
From the looks of what happens, it sounds like the Islamic Festival of Rape.
And what happened to the women who had the temerity to be out on the street? Stoning?
It's 'Festival' and involves Landru.
What exactly does Eid celebrate?
Eid ul-Fitr is a three day celebration and is sometimes also known as the "Smaller Eid" (Arabic: العيد الصغير al-īdu ṣ-ṣaghīr) as compared to the Eid ul-Adha that lasts four days and is called the "Greater Eid" (Arabic: العيد الكبير al-īdu l-kabīr).
Muslims are commanded by the Qur'an to complete their fast on the last day of Ramadan and then recite the Takbir all throughout the period of Eid[Qur'an 2:185 (Translated by Shakir)].

Actually this is what the Clinton White House looked like. American feminism is a sham.
That’s a different 3id. This is the one they’re talking about:

Its a muslim celebration commemorating Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice Issac.
Did they call this 'harassment', too? Gee, I'd don't want to imagine what assault entails.
And while decrying the plight of the lack of 'reproductive choices' of poor women around the world (hurry, rush in the contraceptives, the clean water can wait...), our own feminazis seem regularly and strangely silent when this topic comes up.
