More Izzie Sickness

Oh yes, the sweet sweet taste of freedom, equality, and human rights.

A senior Egyptian general admits that “virginity checks” were performed on women arrested at a demonstration this spring, the first such admission after previous denials by military authorities.

The allegations arose in an Amnesty International report, published weeks after the March 9 protest. It claimed female demonstrators were beaten, given electric shocks, strip-searched, threatened with prostitution charges and forced to submit to virginity checks.

At that time, Maj. Amr Imam said 17 women had been arrested but denied allegations of torture or “virginity tests.”

But now a senior general who asked not to be identified said the virginity tests were conducted and defended the practice.

“The girls who were detained were not like your daughter or mine,” the general said. “These were girls who had camped out in tents with male protesters in Tahrir Square, and we found in the tents Molotov cocktails and (drugs).”

The general said the virginity checks were done so that the women wouldn’t later claim they had been raped by Egyptian authorities.

“We didn’t want them to say we had sexually assaulted or raped them, so we wanted to prove that they weren’t virgins in the first place,” the general said. ”None of them were (virgins).”

This demonstration occurred nearly a month after Egypt’s longtime President Hosni Mubarak stepped down amid a wave of popular and mostly peaceful unrest aimed at his ouster and the institution of democratic reforms.

The March 9 protest occurred in Tahrir Square, which became famous over 18 historic and sometimes bloody days and nights of protests that led to Mubarak’s resignation.

But unlike in those previous demonstrations, the Egyptian military targeted the protesters. Soldiers dragged dozens of demonstrators from the square and through the gates of the landmark Egyptian Museum.

Salwa Hosseini, a 20-year-old hairdresser and one of the women named in the Amnesty report, described to CNN how uniformed soldiers tied her up on the museum’s grounds, forced her to the ground and slapped her, then shocked her with a stun gun while calling her a prostitute.

“They wanted to teach us a lesson,” Hosseini said soon after the Amnesty report came out. “They wanted to make us feel that we do not have dignity.”

The treatment got worse, Hosseini said, when she and the 16 other female prisoners were taken to a military detention center in Heikstep.

There, she said, she and several of other female detainees were subjected to a “virginity test.”

“We did not agree for a male doctor to perform the test,” she said. But Hosseini said her captors forced her to comply by threatening her with more stun-gun shocks.

Plenty more at the link. Don’t forget that nearly every single female in Egypt over the age of 11 or 12 has already been sexually mutilated, oh excuse me, the blameless PC term is “female circumcision”, a process in which an untrained and unwashed old hag carves of their labia and clitoris with a rusty old razor blade, ”for their own good” to help quell women’s demonically inspired sexual urges. Anesthetic? What’s that? And who needs bandages when there’s all this fine dried dung and straw we can use? So I’m sure these arrested protesters were all surely wanton whores. And since everyone in their neighborhoods know who was arrested, now that the general has helpfully told everyone how they were out all night in tents with guys, and drugs and weren’t virgins ... I’m sure the next wave of “honor killings” is about to commence. This general has pretty much sentenced all these women to death. Nice, huh? But that’s pisslam. Have to keep half the population in her place, one way or another. Sure makes me want to join up as fast as I possibly can!

You know what surprises me? That there isn’t a worldwide murderously violent women’s protest movement against pisslam. You know, hundreds of thousands out chanting and rioting in the streets every day, hundreds of imams being found dead every morning due to rocks magically falling from the sky that crushed their heads while they slept. Abusive husbands who fall on their own knives, 72 times in a row, while sleepwalking. Psychotic grandmothers who have their fingers cut off with razor blades, for their own good. Insh’allah, you know. Kismet. God willed it, so it happened. Who are you to question the wonders of Allah?

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
