However, the reporting on such matters is a little shady. Some people dispute the claims - I did another search and the only two 'serious news agencies' commenting on the matter are the Daily Caller, and today 13 hours ago by Fox News. So I'm not sure what to make of it yet, but I'll be watching it. I'll post what I've found regarding the sexual assaults. (If I do find further evidence of them in Egypt, I'll add it to an upcoming board about sexual assault as a political / war weapon -- ala the DRC)

@Aaron: Yes, I heard some things about how the GOV, or someone, has been paying 'thugs' basically to selectively terrorize women.

I started a board on larger Middle East issues but have also been covering this issue as part of that larger topic. really wish the MB would wake up and see Egypt as the multicultural society it always has been.
