Frank Video of Mass Sexual Assault in Cairo Is Released by Anti-Harassment Activists
New York Times ^ | February 2, 2013, 3:17 pm | ROBERT MACKEY

Egyptian activists released a brutally frank video on Friday, using images recorded during the mass sexual assault of a woman last week in Cairo’s Tahrir Square to urge volunteers to join their campaign against attacks during demonstrations.

The video, created by the filmmakers Aida Elkashef and Salam Yousry, uses disturbing overhead images of a crowd of men swarming around a woman being assaulted just out of view to explain the work of Op Anti-SH, one of two new initiatives to combat the sexual harassment and rape of female protesters.

While the video includes no graphic images and shows that volunteers did eventually manage to help the woman to a safe location — near the KFC in the square — its detailed description of the woman’s assault stunned some viewers. Activists argued that the events described in the video are depressingly routine two years after the Egyptian revolution began.

Sad, the Democrats side and work with the Mooslims because they are united in their hatred for Christianity and freedom, It’s why the party of the gays and women libs sides with tyrannical Islamists who cage women beneath a sheet!

Now there is a real war on women. Aided and abetted by the Democratic Party - USA.

“depressingly routine” is right, NYT. Glad you finally printed such a statement.
Your willful ignoring of the problem has also been depressingly routine.
So, I’m just curious: why have you viewed those who have called such behavior from the ROP “routine” as racist?

The real war against women.

Yes; perfect headline and synopsis.

As sickness; a madness here; invited; endorsed and brought to the world by the ROP. . .and further enabled, by the 'totalitarian Left'; worldwide; which of course; includes America's 'Progressives' - and Proud. . .Moreso; their leadership here in America; and we know who they are.

Perhaps if Fox News would give public note; if enough send this 'forward'.

Who knows; maybe 'Brett Bair'. And while we know Shep will not go here; perhaps; at least; Hannity or O'Reilly. (Obama MIA response to authentic 'pro-democracy' efforts should be duly noted; as well.)
