"Sectarian strife," once again, which has quickly become a stock media phrase.
The assault on Lara Logan in Tahrir Square was a rude awakening for much of the West to the nature of the problem faced by native and foreign women in Egypt on any given day. Sexual harassment is so severe and pervasive in Egypt that one could all but call it a sick national pastime.
The women are always blamed for somehow falling short of Islamic expectations on "modesty" or the segregation of the sexes, which is taken as an excuse to target them: they have forfeited or shown themselves unworthy of protection (as this propaganda poster makes clear), and thus become targets.
The issue is thus thoroughly suffused with Islamic supremacism, and so Christian girls are all the more a target in Egypt not only for harassment, but abduction, forced marriage, and conversion. "Egypt: 'Harassment of Christian girls' sparks sectarian strife," from AdnKronos International, July 1:
Samalout, 1 July (AKI) - Security forces on Friday quelled sectarian clashes that broke out late Thursday in central Egypt after local Muslims allegedly harassed some Christian girls, Al Masry Al Youm daily reported.
Eyewitnesses said fighting began in the village of Qolosna in Upper Egypt's Minya Governorate after several Muslim taxi drivers reportedly bothered a group of Christian girls.
Everything we have seen out of Egypt suggests "bothered" is the understatement of the week.
Shots were fired in the air and the injured - four Christians and three Muslims, according to security sources - were taken to hospital in the nearby town of Samalout.
Security sources said 10 people were arrested over the clashes and are being investigated.
Eyewitnesses said the military had imposed a local curfew starting after Friday afternoon prayers.
Coptic Christians account for about 10 percent of Egypt's population and have been repeatedly targeted by Muslim extremists....
As Ed Husain says in his "The Islamist": when entering a taxi in
sorry
AS Ed Husain says in his "The Islamist": when going by taxi in KSA together with his wife he always took care to enter it first, and leave it after her.
Well, I'm sure they will find something criminal with the ten Christians they arrested...They always do...
My take on this...

They are trying to prove their masculinity that's all!
Muhammad did the same while he actually was sexually impotent.

Euphemisms, indeed. You'd think from this AdnKronos International story that some Muslim cab drivers whistled at a couple of Christian girls, and their prudish brothers overreacted.
But abduction and rape are more accurate terms, as s a rule...
"Sectarian strife"
The same words came out of the mouth of a Georgetown professor on C-SPAN when he was asked to explain what is happening to Copts in Egypt.
The man (Samer Shehata) also said, with a straight face, that the Muslim Brotherhood is not a terrorist organization.
As far as "sectarian strife" goes, where and when do the Coptic Christians incite their Muslim neighbors?
The "strife" would seem to be on one side, unless breathing is now a crime against Islam.
As an American from Coptic decent, I am angered at the treatment of my sisters and all non-Muslim women who suffer violation everyday in all the lands that are infected by Islam. There is little that can be done to help the women and girls. When Christian men attempt to do something they face thousands of well armed Muslim men backed by the Police and the army.
Islam = Rape and slavery. Any woman that willingly converts to Islam shares in the horrible crime of supporting the violation of girls and women. Yes, every one of you Western hijabed freaks have joined the religion of institutionalized rape and sexual slavery
In published stories Muslim men in the UK do the same thing to Sikh women to compel them to convert to Islam and marry their rapist. They groom young White children to a life of prostitution. All over Europe Muslims are targeting the native females for gang rape.
When will the alphabet soup of feminist groups ever denounce the atrocities of Islam and the doctrinal use of rape as a weapon of war?
