Egypt: Salafists Attack Schoolgirls For Eating Popsicles…
Gotta love that Arab Spring.
From Bikyamasr:
Two bearded ultra-conservative men in Egypt attacked four elementary schoolgirls walking down a street eating ice popsicles. The men knocked the popsicles from the girls hands and began yelling at them.
They told them to stop eating the popsicles and go home, Bikyamasr.com witnessed. The girls, shocked at what was happening, stood frozen in their movement.
The two men continued their yelling, telling them to be “modest.” The girls began to cry.
A group of men across the street watching the incident were quick to enter the fray, pushing the two men away and kicking them as a yelling match ensued.
One of the men, protecting the girls, continued to shove the two men until they were heading in the opposite direction.
The incident on Thursday highlights the growing influence Salafists, or Islamic puritans, are attempting to have on the streets.
Many women have reported incidents of conservatives in Egypt attempting to force their will on them across the country, attacking them for their “immodesty.”
Things have taken such an awesome turn for the better in Egypt since this whole Arab Spring thing went down. I mean, it’s incidents like this that make me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing that the Obama administration fully supported the Muslim Brotherhood’s rise to power in that region and hailed a new day of freedom and justice for your everyday Egyptian citizen.
Why, I was just talking the other day about how excited and thrilled Egyptians must be now that they can walk down the street and see people crucified, terrorists can come and go as they want, women slapped and beaten for not covering their faces enough and now little girls can be assaulted for eating popsickles. And since their legislature recently decided to adopt Sharia Law as their constitutional foundation, things are only going to get more fun.
Oh lucky day! Way to go, B-Rock!!
