Mob attacks women at Egypt anti-sex assault rally

CAIRO (AP) -- A mob of hundreds of men assaulted women holding a march demanding an end to sexual harassment Friday, with the attackers overwhelming the male guardians and groping and molesting several of the female marchers in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

From the ferocity of the assault, some of the victims said it appeared to have been an organized attempt to drive women out of demonstrations and trample on the pro-democracy protest movement.

The attack follows smaller scale assaults on women this week in Tahrir, the epicenter of the uprising that forced Hosni Mubarak to step down last year.

I wonder if the Vapid Feminists who were protesting in Wuss-Con-Sin who said they stand by Egypt are still willing to say they are happy with the results of the “arab spring” in Egypt......??

Repeat with me: This is what Democracy looks like!!!!

The MSM and NOW love the Islamic world and would warn these women to be tolerant.

Only solution is for all the stupid muzzy women to frag their sleeping husbands (slave holders) on the same night.

The world would be a better place and we could all sing and drink Coca-Cola.

It sounds like it turned into a typical "anywhere I want, anything I want, any day I want" type of celebration.

Of course, only the men seem to relish that activity. I have also received assurance that no goats were groped or molested during this ordeal, they were merely fondled.

Why should we be so concerned with the fate of muslim women?

When it comes to a confrontation with Christians they all stand beside their menfolks and gladly sacrifice their children for the ‘glory’ of Islam.

Don’t come to me for sympathy, especially not when I see burqa-clad new American, blond-haired, blue-eyed, converts crowding the aisles at Walmart.

Some women do want to have a more sane life. I think the women who were protesting want a more western life.
