I applaud for the girl's actions, though it's probably not very good for her health in short order.

How can a religion that promote polygamy but at the same time persecutes mere pornography. That's some serious cognitive dissonance there. Surely some level-headed Egyptians must have realised.

no need to repeat yourself.

What thread are you reading? Idiot.

Her actions have received global media coverage and provoked outrage in Egypt, a conservative Muslim country where most women wear the veil. Many liberals fear that Elmahdy's actions will hurt their prospects in the parliamentary election next week.

Elmahdy describes herself as an atheist. She has been living for the past five months with her boyfriend, blogger Kareem Amer, who, in 2006 was sentenced to four years in a maximum security prison for criticizing Islam and defaming former president Hosni Mubarak.

The more things change, more things stay the same. I doubt elections is going to help when their heads are so deep into the dogmatic shit, this incident or not.

Just the headshot is on the CNN link. That's all I've looked at.

If the rest of the package was there, I wouldn't mind looking. Not drop-dead gorgeous but worth a look before she's either dead or takes an acid bath.

Google Image her name with Safe Search off. It is there. She is very attractive IMO.

She's a beautiful girl, and probably more courageous than most of the keyboard warriors here combined... including me.

One note about this is the nationalistic aspect -

There was a time this could get you in jail in the US. At that time, I suspect some would say "we in the US don't allow this, we have values!"

Now, when we have the liberal laws and create much of the world's porn, the same people's response is, "we have more freedom, freedom is a value here!"

One other note - it's not that easy to appreciate other cultures at times.

They and we both have our share of myopia and hypocrisy and probably some poor choices culturally.

It it interesting though that 'freedom seems to be blossoming more' there nowadays.

Change is almost always met with some opposition; when we had freedom riders challenge de facto segregation, they were met with mobs who assaulted them.
They have one thing we don't have billions of dollars in oil money through the Saudi's funding their version of Islam from early childhood.

As for the rest of your post even though you may mean otherwise it can come across as apologetic since you won't see it's equivalency when it comes to similar subjects like anti gay beliefs by Christians without the person being called a bigot and being derided as a christian apologist for daring to try to understand the other side and presenting it in a similar format that you have.

I think it's pretty pathetic how this issue degrades into teenage masterdebating about her being 'hot'. It's bad in OT, and worse in this forum.
