This article reminds me of a recent incident during the last Eid Al-Fitr where women were publicly groped on the street, even the hijabis. This incident was blamed on Dina, the Egyptian belly dancer. Just another example of scapegoating...

The only possible way out of this is to legalize prostitution. It's ok to be a charmouta! but who knows.
