How does someone get from disapproval of seeing a glimpse of skin through torn jeans to thinking it deserves rape? Three years in jail well-deserved.

Just cut his cock off and glue it to his forehead where it belongs

"Are you happy when you see a girl walking down the street with half of her behind showing?" he said.

He added: "I say that when a girl walks about like that, it is a patriotic duty to sexually harass her and a national duty to rape her."

Mr Wahsh said that women who wore revealing clothing were "inviting men to harass them", and said "protecting morals is more important than protecting borders".

What a ****ing dinosaur. Views like that are utterly disgusting, but I don't think they are as are as we would like to think they are. When reporting stuff to the police you get 'what were you wearing' 'how drunk were you' and stuff, as if wearing something revealing or being drunk makes it your own fault :S

I'm glad they made an example of him. He was promoting rape and probably the rape of tourists because Egyptian women are less likely to walk around in ripped jeans.

Just to make my position clear; I'm very much pro seeing women walking down the road with half of their behinds showing.

He should have got longer. Vile man - probably just looking for any excuse to force himself on a young pretty girl.

Good that he was jailed.That’s some f’ked up ****.
Atleast Egypt has modernised enough to be doing something about this.I do wonder if some of the more stone age middle eastern countries would have dealt with him as harshly for those views.

Jesus christ. Apparently he's also a 'proud anti-semite' and holocaust denier.

This story is a good example of highlighting why 'freedom of speech' doesn't always mean 'say whatever you want without facing consequences', and that punishing someone for saying something outrageously inciteful isn't 'PC gone mad' as is so often claimed.

Well yeah,I don’t think many people would say that this is PC gone mad.

I’d think in most countries that free speech ends at inciting violent crime.Even in the free speech capital America you can get arrested for inciting a riot for example.

He was inciting a serious violent criminal offence - not quite the same as having the freedom of speech to be able to, for example, openly criticise backward misogynistic religions.

That's what I mean though, that because this specific case is so extreme I can't imagine anyone claiming 'PC gone mad', it makes it clear to everyone that freedom of speech doesn't mean it's always ok to just say whatever you want and I sometimes get the impression that some people think it does mean that.

Absolutely, but in a less extreme example there would be less extreme consequences, like somebody having their views criticised for example. It's just the fact that freedom of speech doesn't mean there can't be consequences that I was highlighting as this case seemed to exemplify that quite well I thought considering everyone seems to be of the same opinion, that it's right he was punished (and yet I'm sure we'd all also be for freedom of speech). Sometimes people do go to far with political correctness but I also think that sometimes people are too quick to claim political correctness when actually any speech that provokes a reaction is deserving of a reaction. I'm not really talking about anything specific like criticising a religion, just my general view on the whole 'PC gone mad' thing and that it's often used to stop people from expressing perfectly reasonable objections to some things that get said and it sometimes gets claimed that just by expressing objection, that the person must be against freedom of speech for doing so.
