Women assault, cut hair of Christian woman on metro

[Soldat_Amir]

Two niqab-wearing women assaulted and forcefully cut the hair of a Christian woman on the metro Sunday, the third such reported incident in two months, raising fears of a growing vigilante movement to punish Egyptian women for not wearing the veil in public.

The Egyptian Organization for Human Rights said in a statement that the assaulters called the Christian woman, who is 28 years old, an “infidel" and pushed her off the train, breaking her arm.

The Christian woman reported the incident to the police and filed a medical report to confirm the assault.

EOHR Director Naguib Gabriel urged the interior minister to address the recurring attacks on unveiled women before it becomes a common practice.

Last week, a woman wearing the niqab cut the hair of a 13-year-old Christian girl, Maggie Milad Fayez, in the metro. That same week, an Egyptian court gave a female teacher in Luxor with a six-month suspended prison sentence for cutting the hair of two 12-year-old girls after they refused to cover their heads.

Mainstream religious scholars say wearing the veil is compulsory for Muslims, but that no one can be forced to wear it. Muslim Brotherhood leaders have repeatedly said they will not apply a strict interpretation of Sharia with regard to women’s dress.

Opponents of President Mohamed Morsy, who resigned from the Muslim Brotherhood when he took office, say these incidents prove that Islamists are attempting to impose strict Sharia laws under his rule.

Egypt is home to more than 8 million Christians, the largest such national community in the Middle East.

Egypt use to be a Christian nation until Arab Muslims forced it into Islam and committed genocide. I think these 8 Million Christians should go live in a Western nation as under Islamic rule Dhimmis and Mawalis and Kafirs are not safe from the rejected social values of Arab Muslim mad men.

The developed world would welcome a million of these people than the fanatics who come here and spit on the countries that host them.

where it is said i quote

Corinthians 11:6

If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head.

No thanks, we're at capacity and our social welfare nets are already too heavy. Perhaps Arab-Christians could carve out their own nation somewhere in the M.E.?

It isn't a Muslim'sjob to enforce the rules of another religion on that person who just happens to be from that religion.

"Good"? You find this behavior to be representative of genuine Muslim character? Is that according to the teachings of Darul Uloom Haqqania and ISI operative, Mullah Sandwich?

You're being intellectually dishonest at best merely by posting that in reponse to this article. Though, I'm sure you find yourself to be rather clever posting snippets from the Injil on PashtunForums where you know the majority will be completely unfamiliar with the scripture in question and thus unable to challenge or question your alleged expertise on the matter. Truth is, all you did was take a carefully selected and intentionally edited excerpt and use it in a sad attempt to defend some idiots' thuggish and criminal behavior. Here, I'll help you out and post those vital portions you excluded (because they would interfere with your personal agenda). Beginning in Corinthians 11:5, one verse prior to what you posted ...
"Any man who prays or prophesies with his head covered brings shame upon his head. But any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled brings shame upon her head, for it is one and the same thing as if she had had her head shaved. For if a woman does not have her head veiled, she may as well have her hair cut off. But if it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should wear a veil."
Was the Christian woman engaging in prayer or prophecy on the train? And in the hypothetical event that she was, refer to Revolution's post for further instruction.
