"Sexual Harassment"

This is an email I received from my brother who has been in the Middle East for some time how. This woman, like many in the Middle East seems to think she can excuse bad behavior by pointing to other bad behavior. And she does! Why is this kind of story not all over the news channels in the U.S.? Where is the vertebral column? To use an old quote from the 60’s; It Blows My Mind! “Last Days”??

Email:

Okay, heres the mindset we are up against. This lawyer, and a woman at that, advocates "sexual harassment" as a means of ethnically cleansing Arab lands of Jewish/Israeli women. Her argument is veiled support for rape as a weapon of war. While she says outright rape would not be permissible, she goes on to say that if Israeli women are raped they should have no recourse.

Of course, I assume that she, like virtually all other Arabs, consider Israel to be Arab lands.

Can you imagine the uproar and censure if you or I were to get on television and advocate something half so extreme? Like the public flogging of big mouthed women lawyers who advocate the rape or sexual harassment of women who belong to another religion and live in another country?

This kind of crap goes on TV all the time over here.

In the name of the moon god, the blood god, the sword god, may peace be upon you?
Pat.

Egyptian Lawyer Nagla Al-Imam Suggests Arab Men Should Sexually Harass Israeli Women and Declares: Leave the Land So We Won't Rape You

Following are excerpts from an interview with Egyptian lawyer Nagla Al-Imam, which aired on Al-Arabiya TV on October 31, 2008.

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.

Unfortunately

YouTube has again capitulated to a request by someone unknown to not make the video available for embedment on web sites “Embedding disabled by request”. Will we ever know from whom the request came? Can you guess? But it’s okay, with my brothers help I have the hyperlink so just click MEMRI (Middle East Media Research Institute) for the video with no thanks to YouTube.
