Egyptian lawyer: Arab Men Should Sexually Harass Israeli Women
Via MEMRI, which has the transcript,
Interviewer: Egyptian lawyer Nagla Al-Imam has proposed that young Arab men should sexually harass Israeli girls wherever they may be and using any possible method, as a new means in the resistance against Israel.
[...]
Interviewer: We have with us the lawyer Nagla Al-Imam from Cairo. Welcome. What is the purpose of this proposal of yours?Nagla Al-Imam: This is a form of resistance. In my opinion, they are fair game for all Arabs, and there is nothing wrong with…
Interviewer: On what grounds?
Nagla Al-Imam: First of all, they violate our rights, and they “rape” the land. Few things are as grave as the rape of land. In my view, this is a new form of resistance.
Interviewer: As a lawyer, don’t you think this might expose Arab youth to punishment for violating laws against sexual harassment?
Nagla Al-Imam: Most Arab countries… With the exception of three or four Arab countries, which I don’t think allow Israeli women to enter anyway, most Arab countries do not have sexual harassment laws. Therefore, if [Arab women] are fair game for Arab men, there is nothing wrong with Israeli women being fair game as well.
Interviewer: Does this also include rape?
Nagla Al-Imam: No. Sexual harassment… In my view, the [Israeli women] do not have any right to respond. The resistance fighters would not initiate such a thing, because their moral values are much loftier than that. However if such a thing did happen to them, the [Israeli women] have no right to make any demands, because this would put us on equal terms – leave the land so we won’t rape you. These two things are equal.

I don’t want young Arab men to be interrogated. I want these Zionist girls with Israeli citizenship to be expelled from our Arab countries. This is a form of resistance, and a way of rejecting their presence.
Ed points out,
Al-Arabiya operates out of Dubai, UAE, and is heavily subsidized by the Saudis — two American allies. Just for the record.

This is an outrage, and why the Women’s Gender Studies Departments at Universities, and the other “feminist” groups do not speak out says a lot.
This is a crime against humanity, and we need to stop this type of incitement.
What has happened to our world? Human decency is no longer “de riguer” and we have become preditors and withour moral values. Unless we teach respect to our children and for one another, we are doomed.

Islam’s self-loathing women…
When a female lawyer from Egypt starts condoning that Muslim males rape Israeli women, as seen on Al-Arabiya television, you know that’s a sign about just how inside-out the minds of some women under Islam can be….

The lawyer seems to find nothing terribly wrong that there are no anti-harassment laws in most Arab countries. Errm, anything from those feminists who thought it was terrible that Sarah Palin was against abortion? Just asking.

The Arabs may find out that many Israeli women are not exactly shrinking violets and are well-versed in the art of self-defense. There will be an increase in cases of Arab men with testicular pain, as a consequence of deliberate harassment of Israeli women.

I could just imagine them trying to pull that on Atlas…I can see her pulling a 9 and pumping him full of slugs. Frontier justice, I s’pose.
