Neither of these countries are considered to be "muslim" countries.
So get off of your damn high horses gentlemen and stop trying to blame any particular religion as being the guiltiest party.
Your petty argument crap is belittling and demeaning the seriousness of what these poor victims are going through... every damn day... all over the damn world.
Wake the hell up.
Six women were raped in the time it took me to make this damn post.

I don't think religion has anything to do with it. If religion were the problem then you'd see a real concentration of rapes all over Muslim areas in Western nations. Some of Michigan would be awash in the crime wave. That isn't the case and none of the Muslims I've known would stand for rape.
That last part is the problem though, in a way. Standing for it happening. That makes this a cultural thing in my view. This wasn't 100 women across Cairo where it could have been dark alleys or hidden spots. This was savage beatings and rapes in a crowded, albeit very large, square full of people. So it's not just who did it, but who allowed it to happen within hearing or sight distance. Both would have been hard to miss, I'm thinking.

Ditto that. I can't believe women in that part of the world don't rise up and say enough is enough, or at least pack-up and leave!

Not if many of them formed circles... like some kind of group effort.
No outsiders seeing in and then the rapist is gone before the victim can tell anyone or point him out.... and then they blend back into the crowd and pick another victim... forming huddles and preventing outside interference.
Gang rapists.
Then after outsiders see and figure out what happened... they're gone. They cannot help the victim, the victim doesn't know who in her surroundings to tell or trust because she realizes she is surrounded by men who she can now not rule out as rapists as well... she gets away from the area as best she can and the surrounding people who think something might have just happened to her shrug it off because she scurries away into the crowd for a safer place to go.
