Egypts Muslim Brotherhood accused of paying gangs to rape women
Egypt’s embattled Muslim Brotherhood regime is paying gangs of thugs to rape women and beat men who gather in Tahrir Square to protest the power grab of President Mohamed Morsi, say activists.
In a bitter replay of the Arab Spring protests that brought down President Hosni Mubarak nearly two years ago, protesters have flooded the Cairo square to denounce Morsi, who has stripped the judiciary of power and is rushing through an Islamist constitution. And while Mubarak is now in prison for using violence to quell protests targeting him, Morsi’s regime is now accused of doing the same.
“This is still happening now,” Magda Adly, director of the Nadeem Center for Human Rights, told The Times of London. “I believe thugs are being paid money to do this … the Muslim Brotherhood have the same political approaches as Mubarak.”

I’m surprised they had to pay them.

By the time this is over, you’ll wish they only had the same political approaches as Mubarak.

The other dictator was better. I never tire of reminding liberals how badly their messiah screwed up, but I hate it for the Egyptian people.

Obama’s Arab Spring dividends are rape, murder, and mayhem.

Couple his great foreign policy success with his stunning achievements with the economy that’s a humming along –he’s going to need a whole shelf for his multiple Nobel peace prizes.

Talk about a real cliff, while Obama fiddles.

Have you seen Egyptian women?

When you add this to the money they are paid to stop raping goats it’s quite the haul.

The men are probably being paid to impregnate them to make little jihadis. And they have to go in groups to keep any one of them from chickening out, when he sees that he’s about to stick his inch-long wang into something that looks like a rejected prop for a low-budget horror film.

Ambassador Stevens would have been shocked.
(Except he’s dead.)
Obama’s Cairo Speech keeps sowing chaos, death, and greater tyranny.

Barry sees no evil, hears no evil, speaks no evil about the Egyptians…or other Muslims in the Middle East.

You know what guys, rape is still rape regardless of whether you think the victim is attractive or not.
