This wouldn't have surprised me even if it had not been in the midst of a 'protest.' Doesn't matter how old you are there, if you aren't wearing a scarf you are considered to be inviting rape.

Even as old and fat as I am , they look at you lasciviously. I got off elevators more than once because of the looks and the type of conversation you could tell they were having. The told the group I was with to not wear sandals because this as well was considered to risque. If you wear the hijab/niqab you are 'nice girl/woman.' If not you are on the make and you get what you ask for.

At least someone did step in to help. Sadly, not soon enough.

Also sadly, this article says that islamic dress is not enough to stop sexual harassment in Egypt:

BBC NEWS | Middle East | Egypt's sexual harassment 'cancer'

I'm so glad that in the United States, there is never a sexual assault of any kind. And if there is the occasional rape, it must have been in the name of Islam. That's essentially what you're saying, right? In the US there are about 95,000 rapes every year (according to nationmaster.com). This is not to say you are not correct about the sexual assault and sexual harassment that may routinely occur in Egypt but the sad truth is that this has neither a cultural , nor religious stigmatization but can be found on a global scale .
