Obama’s new pals in Egypt hiring gangs to rape women

Loading

Egypt’s ruling party is paying gangs of thugs to sexually assault women protesting in Cairo’s Tahrir Square against President Mohamed Morsi, activists said.

They also said the Muslim Brotherhood is paying gangs to beat up men who are taking part in the latest round of protests, which followed a decree by President Morsi to give himself sweeping new powers.

It comes as the Muslim Brotherhood co-ordinated a demonstration today in support of President Mohamed Morsi, who is rushing through a constitution to try to defuse opposition fury over his newly expanded powers.

Just 24 hours earlier around 200,000 people gathered in Tahrir Square, the heart of last year’s revolution which toppled President Hosni Mubarak, yesterday to protest against a new draft constitution.

Large marches from around Cairo flowed into the square, chanting ‘Constitution: Void!’ and The people want to bring down the regime.’

But amid the calls for democracy a sinister threat has emerged.

Magda Adly, the director of the Nadeem Centre for Human Rights, said that under Mubarak, the Government paid thugs to beat male protestors and sexually assault women.

‘This is still happening now,’ she told The Times. ‘I believe thugs are being paid money to do this … the Muslim Brotherhood have the same political approaches as Mubarak,’ she said.

Obama’s new pals? What is the factual basis for that assertion supposed to be?

These ad hoc gangs of ”morality police,” are called by various names depending on which faction of Islam they are from.
In the Netherlands the USA had to warn tourists who were gay to avoid open displays of affection even in Europe’s most gay-friendly town of Amsterdam after it became clear that police could not stop these roving gangs of Muslim males from using cell phones to gather small mobs to beat anyone they perceived as gay in public.
In the Saudi Kingdom their Muttawa (morality police) prevented firemen from rescuing 53 school girls from a fire because the men might see the females unveiled.
In Australia a Mufti told his Muslim male audience that all females not covered were meat to be eaten by cats on the street…..meaning go ahead gang rape any Western-dressed female, Muslim or not. Many dozens of Aussie females were gang raped until the gang was caught.

In the rural parts of Egypt, since the Muslim Brotherhood takeover, police stand idly by as roving bands of men demand ”proof” (to see) that all females have been genitally mutilated.
If they find one not mutilated they do it to her on the spot.
Now sexual assault of females who go in public is on the rise in Egypt.
No surprise there.
Saudi Sheikh Ali Al Mutairi just spoke out against even totally veiled females having jobs….he called them ”whores” for taking a job in food service in Jeddah. http://english.alarabiya.net/articles/2012/11/30/252695.html (You gotta see how they have to dress!)

@Greg: You mean beside forgiving the $1 billion loan?

@drjohn:
Maybe he meant the pals aren’t “new”.

Obama provided relief of $1 billion dollars in debt to the nation of Egypt, not to the Muslim Brotherhood.
