Egypt anger over 'grope attacks'

[emad]

Hundreds of Egyptians have staged an angry protest against the alleged sexual harassment of female activists and reporters by government supporters.

A number of women say they were assaulted by loyalists from the party of President Hosni Mubarak during voting on a referendum last week.

Dressed in black and wearing white ribbons, the women called for senior officials to resign in shame.

Egypt's government has blamed the assaults on "emotional tension".

1. Arrrrrgh.... !%$^ @%$!* ^%$

Seems like the gov't officials are creating "tension". The women's "emotional tension" will be relieved when those responsible are out of there.

2. Sorry guys....

....but blaming angry behavior on "emotional tension" is the equivolent of responding to a girlfriend's criticism by saying it's that time of the month....Never works, and just makes things worse...

....enjoy your metaphorical frying pan in the face....dumb-asses.

Well I for one condemn the influence of Christian Slater.

And many other Christians too for that matter ;-)
