Student, atheist and blogger, Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, 20, posted naked pictures of herself on her blog to show her “screams against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy”. Showing her body particularly at a time when Islamists in Egypt are trying to secure power is the ultimate act of rebellion. Don’t forget Islamists despise nothing more than a woman’s body. In case you didn’t know, women are the source of corruption and chaos and must be covered up at all times and not seen and not heard.
The Islamists in Egypt, for example, have replaced the photos of their female candidates with flowers and covered up a statue of mermaids in Alexandria. They have refused to appear face-to-face with female TV hosts, unless the presenter put on a headscarf or a barrier was placed between the two! Soon there will be nappies on donkeys and birds will have to stop singing but that must wait until they have put women in their places.
But we mustn’t let them.
Elmahdy’s blogger boyfriend Kareem Amer (who by the way spent four years in jail for calling Mubarak a symbol of tyranny) posted on Facebook: “I think we should not be afraid of those in power or Islamists, as much as we should be worried of politicians claiming to be liberal. They are ready to sacrifice us to avoid tarnishing their image.”
Hear, hear!
Now do you really need any more reasons for defending Aliaa Magda Elmahdy unconditionally?
Do it now.

Can I simply say what a relief to find somebody who actually knows what theyre speaking about on the internet. You undoubtedly know how you can convey a problem to gentle and make it important. Extra individuals have to read this and understand this side of the story. I cant consider youre no more in style since you definitely have the gift.
Hi everyone! Quickly checking in with reality:
God did not create us. There is no god. Therefore his opinions about nudity are irrelevant, because you’re only talking about the opinions of a fictional character. Also, there is no hell. Therefore, there are no people who are hellbound, American or otherwise.
Also, there’s nothing inherently immoral with having lots of sexual partners i.e. being a “slut,” and keep in mind that just because you take a nude photo of yourself and post it online doesn’t mean that you’re actually having sex with lots of different people. Confusing, I know, for patriarchal sexists like most of the more recent commenters seem to be, but that’s reality for you: always more complicated than your fantasy world.
Cheerio!

I personally enjoyed checking out it. I ought to read more on this issue. I’m admiring determination you include your blog, due to the fact its fantastic location just where I can acquire lot of handy tips.
It is so funny when I see how americans(biggest terrorist of all) think of muslims. Who ever gives her a harsh punishment is wrong but a muslim would never do that. A person who calls himself a muslim might but if he attempts to hurt her he is nothing but a self proclaimed muslim. She can be punished by law but it should be nothing harsh. America allows those kind of things, which is the reason there is such a high count of prostitution,homosexuality and transmited deseases. There’s different ways she could have had her voice heard not doing it like a slut. I am a american but the last thing id do is live like one. Which is what hellbound people desire for
