Democracy In Egypt
 

Jeez

Remind me please of another country who celebrates their "freedom" with an organized rape? I'm sure they will be bringing those responsible to justice soon.

Yeah, because the hundreds of thousands who protested peacefully and non-violently for 18 days - including women and children in the square - don't represent the country, while the acts of a few do.

Yeah, that's never happened in the United States, women getting attacked and raped after football celebrations, during street parades/parties, etc.

Glad she'll be okay.

You repulse me.

Ditto. What about the soldiers and women who saved her - they get no credit for being "that country celebrating democracy"?

She was asking for it.

This happened Friday and went unreported for 5 days with live streaming video of Anderson Copper being shoved and giving back a bittch slap? Either CBS sux or something is up? Guess CBS and the rest of the media felt the protesters (Muslim Brotherhood) overturn of the government trumps a little old rape, heck even Obama praised them with no mention of this woman. At least her head is still on I guess. And Riot your excuse "Yeah, that's never happened in the United States, women getting attacked and raped after football celebrations, during street parades/parties, etc." is despicable.

BTW Glad your glad she’ll be OK. :zz:

WTF?????? I now believe you haven't a clue of what forcible rape is?

Glad she'll be OK? Yea wrap it up and get back in the game.

Supreme Allah says that b.itch had it comin' to her for being white.

if it were Al Qaeda instead of the Muslim Brotherhood it would have been her head instead of 'Glad she'll be OK'. So there is a bright side. ;)

I don't recall ever hearing of a situation where a reporter was raped covering an event regardless of how out of control the crowd became.

I don't think this says anything about Egyptians as a whole but it does give insight into the chaotic and savage behavior of some of the rioters.

You're an idiot, Dell. I'm glad she wasn't killed. She's alive, and lucky to be so, and lucky to get out of the hospital. I wasn't making light of her attack.

There were other reporters there, who were taken by the police, held and beaten.

You think all those protesters were Muslim Brotherhood? If so, you're clueless.

You guys who want to slam all Egyptians because of what happened to that poor reporter, but fail to acknowledge violent people can be everywhere - that's what's despicable. That was no "excuse", Dell, it's true. But let's not let that get in the way of hating Muslims. Even the ones that saved her from her attackers.

i don't either. another shock is finding that many countries still don't consider that a crime. how awful for her; altho she is lucky not to have been killed, that attack will haunt her forever.

I can't help but think what hell there would be to pay if a Muslim woman was raped by a few thugs hanging out in a peaceful tea party gathering.

if it were here, it would be prosecuted as it should be. in some places, she'd be on trial, which is a damnable shame.



unless it was ben roethlisberger..than there wouldn't be enough dna, and the tape would mysteriously be erased!!

Seriously, Doreen? You really think these two situations are remotely similar?

The guys at the Rand Paul rally who threw that small woman to the ground and stomped on her are doing just fine, aren't they? In fact, the guy who did the head stomping publicly demanded an apology from his victim. Do those losers represent all Rand Paul supporters? Libertarians? Tea Party supporters?

"What not to say about Lara Logan"

And just think... its not in Egypt (yet.. and hopefully will not get to that point) but with Sharia law, the victim of the rape gets in trouble!

^ in the last one a young girl was ganged raped and then stoned to death for "fornication"

this has to be one of the worst reponses I've ever seen on a message board.

No - not remotely similar. I was talking about a Muslim woman being raped. But, now that you mention it, it's an instance like what happened at the Rand Paul rally that gets all non-Democrats labeled as rabble rousers and **** disturbers with Nancy Lugosi leading the chant.

Prosecution and incarceration wouldn't be enough. There would be rioting in the streets, fire, destruction, injuries, maybe even more deaths.

AND, a lot of sports team have at least one resident felon?!~ Not making excuses for Ben, but too many people use him as their reason for hating the STEELERS.

And you're an insensitive biatch. Tell us again how she's all right? Tell me when 200 anybody assaulted a reporter in this country. Tell us how the protesters are so peaceful and the Muslim Brotherhood (In Egypt) does not want to form a political party. And for you to think this woman is anything but f'd for life proves who's the idiot. At least in American eyes.

Very well put about Big Ben. No one remembers about Vince Young getting cited. Goodall did nothing to him. Only three people knows what happened: Big Ben and the two ladies.

She probably called them sand *******.

Totally deserved it.

Thank you for recognizing that not all Muslim countries want oppressive Sharia, and are not all alike.

That gets all non-Democrats labeled by everyone? No. Not by everyone. That's the point.

You ignorant jackass. I didn't say she was all right. I wasn't making light of her attack. I'm horrified at what happened to her, and at the other reporter who was killed, and at all the reporters who were beaten.

And I'm not the one here taking the horrible attack on Lara, and using her attack as political fodder to support their Islamophobia and hate. Talk about insensitive jackasses using the misery of others to justify their hate. It's appalling and pathetic, this occurring in this day and age in America.

I wish many more moderate Muslims would speak out against the barbaric customs of their "religion". Why don't they? Probably afraid they'd be auffed.

They do in America. For example, the cultural and community center moderate Muslims were trying to re-establish in NYC. Which was greeted by some Americans as the hated "ground zero mosque", and where those moderates were threatened by hate and being offed by some. Sad.

In Egypt the Muslim and the Christian populations get alone well, and respect each other. When Mubarak's policemen were sent in to attack the protesters and newsmen for those 48 hours, the Christians formed rings around the Muslims as they stopped to pray in public, to protect them from attack while they prayed.

Yeah, the Middle East is just like Disney World...as long as you aren't a woman or a minority.

I never said that, nor implied it, nor do I think it. All middle east countries are not the same, but none are like the United States.

You have a younger generation who, amazingly, successfully and peacefully overthrows an entrenched 30-year dictator, it's in the interest of most in the world to try and ensure that nascent cry for democracy doesn't again go the way of Hamas. They are trying the same protests in Iran right now, and thousands are arrested, beaten, killed. Not going as Egypt did. Algeria, Yemen ....

But thinking all people of the middle east are islamic terrorists, or secret islamic terrorists, bent upon taking over the entire world, are the absurd hysterical crazy rantings of a Glenn Beck.

You're quick to correct anyone when they put words in your mouth - don't do it to others. I never said that all Muslims are terrorists. There are moderates who, if they are true to their religion, believe in the propogation of their faith to eventually envelop the world. Big, big difference.

Trash Can

Of all people Jesse Ventura summed it up and I would add it is the ultimate money making machine.

"Organized religion is a sham and a crutch for weak-minded people who need strength in numbers. It tells people to go out and stick their noses in other people's business."

Very well spoken Doreen. Once again Riot denies putting word's into someone's mouth. This is starting to become a daily occurance with yours truly.

Excuse me, I never implied you did. I was responding to Randall, but I didn't imply he did, either.

I said "that thinking ... "

Believe me, if I was addressing it to you, I'd have no qualms saying, "you".

You are a complete idiot. Yes, I mean of low IQ. Because when you say "yours truly", you are referring to yourself.

And you saying "I denied putting words in someone's mouth" - before I even posted an answer? You were just outright lying. Again.

That picture still makes me laugh :D

Why does it smell like tuna fish when you post? I would take you on anyday in an IQ challenge. It wouldn't take much to beat you. If you think I was referring to myself so be it. You just proved what a bigger moron you are to me.

Because your head is so far up your ass?

Okay!

Question 1:

Define the term, "yours truly"
