			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-1671" style="border: 0pt none; margin-top: 3px; margin-right: 10px;" title="surprised cat" src="http://bligbi.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/cat_laptop-300x245.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="245" />These are the words of an Egyptian lawyer named Nagla Al Imam in an interview where she, yes <strong>SHE</strong>, encourages Arabic men to sexually harass Israeli women and girls as a new form of resistance.</p>
<p>Why does she support such behaviour? Because &#8220;they [Israelis] violate our rights, and they rape the land&#8221;.  She goes on to state that there are &#8220;few things&#8221; that &#8220;are as grave as the rape of the land&#8221;.</p>
<p>This apparently includes raping actual human women as <a href="http://en.afrik.com/article14808.html">Al Imam has also attacked a rape victim</a>.  Al Imam has apparently called the woman a liar and wants her deported for &#8220;unsettling Egyptian sentiments&#8221;.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nagla Al Imam, a lawyer who initially voiced support for Rushdi, has also taken to the airwaves, claiming the young woman lied about her charges and argued that she is an Israeli and should be deported for &#8220;unsettling Egyptian sentiments&#8221;.</p></blockquote>
<p>What makes this even worse is that Al Imam is also the head of a human rights organisation and when asked about <a href="http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/Printable.aspx?GUID=DE6AC70A-2536-413B-A763-EADF17FB219C">her rationalization for supporting such a hateful, bigoted idea</a> stated that it&#8217;s only fair that that Israeli women be treated as poorly as Arabic women.</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>Interviewer</strong>: As a lawyer, don’t you think this might expose Arab youth to punishment for violating laws against sexual harassment?</p>
<p><strong>Nagla Al-Imam</strong>: Most Arab countries… With the exception of three or four Arab countries, which I don’t think allow Israeli women to enter anyway, most Arab countries do not have sexual harassment laws. <strong>Therefore, if [Arab women] are fair game for Arab men, there is nothing wrong with Israeli women being fair game as well</strong>.</p></blockquote>
<p>The victimization of one group is okay since another group is also being victimized in the same manner?  WTF?  It&#8217;s so absurd it&#8217;s almost unbelievable.  How can anyone think like this?</p>
<p>Hate. It boggles the mind, doesn&#8217;t it?</p>
