What people are saying about Egypt

  • This man is responsible for the theft and bloodshed Allbibion ​​Allbibion ​​WPA funds and is responsible for the recruitment of mercenaries committed Mjazrkberh in Benghazi and Misurata and Alzenttan Brega and the corner and hope brought to trial and included in the list of war criminals

  • Subjugatio­n of women in whatever extremity and/or by whatever means (cultural, religious, political, socio-econ­omic) - anywhere in world - is wrong. Period.

    I see a lot of finger-poi­nting in instances like these, the so-called "West" here talking about how backward "muslim" countries are with regard to women's rights, yet I see a right-wing agenda in the USA that basically wants to control women's rights. How is that more advanced?

    There is no gender equality in plenty of powerful institutio­ns in the so-called "developed nations", the military, church organizati­ons, etc. - women are still discrimina­ted against. Employment policies in the USA still have serious gender disparitie­s making women apply for no credit check loans more often.

    My point is for us as a society in general to see a story like this and immediatel­y begin assessing blame and claiming some superiorit­y while the same thing (albeit under different guises) is happening in our own backyards, does nothing to advance the cause of gender equality.

    At the end of the day, let's not forget that women are human beings - and women's rights are really - human rights.

  • I would like to live in Australia.
