@ProgressiveAudio The greatest obstacle to democracy and progress in Egypt and throughout the Middle East is Islam. Unless Islam is expelled from politics, Egypt will descend into absolute tyranny.
During the Revolution of 1919 in EGYPT against the British invasion in my country,it was the EGYPTIAN Feminist leader and Nationalist " Hoda Shaarawi" who started to recall the EGYPTIAN women to fight the invasion in their Country and she helped organize the largest women anti- British demonstration,In 1939 the EGYPTIAN Dr.Sameera Moussa was the First Female nuclear Scientist in the Middle East,who killed in US ..it was the EGYPTIAN women who liberated this Country!
To Destroy any Country,you destroy their women First!! That was the agenda Toward EGYPT since 1830, the Corrupted Puppets governments don't represent a whole Country.Despite of the Suffering and struggle that the EGYPTIAN women was had during all the Wars and invasion that EGYPT faced,There were and still until now Many Patriot Educated EGYPTIAN women and many of them are Doctors,Engineers,Professors,Scientists even Political activists.
You mean the Same Democracy that George Bush invaded the Iraq by it ! It's NOT the Islam,It's a long History of western colonization and their Puppets in the region that EGYPT and all the Middle East paid its Price and still pay until Now, When Those Foreigner powers stop involving in the interior affairs of EGYPT and stop their agenda in the Middle East , EGYPT will be leader of the region as she was before!
Mona is probalby upper middle class or high class Egyptian woman. The poor dress more traditionally.
Hopefully we get a pro western democratic, stable and non corrupt Egypt and not a crazy, wackbrain asshole fundamentalist mullah run state who makes people dress up in halloween costumes(burqas).
@Bander1 Thanks for the info. And you're right, Egypt is part of the Miss Universe contest after all, so my ideas on it do seem to just be misconceptions.
Well Arab Nationalism was secular and "western" oriented (even if it was against the "western" countries) but unfortunately the US, France and the UK destroyed those movements and now we got fundie whackjobs raging across the arab world.
Actually the Arab nationalist movement of the 50s-70s got coopted by the USA after the fall of commieism in the early 90s. Arab nationalism was not really western oriented at the start but more socialist/communist leaning towards the USSR or China(as most post colonial nationalist movements were durign the cold war). After the fall of communism without their Soviet backers, the Arab nationalists became just another bunch of corrupt dictators controlled by the USA.
I dont really like religion or nationalism, but arab nationalism would have been better than whats around now.

@Bander1 Religion is ideology though. Its not very nationalistic either, as theyll turn on their own citizens for having the wrong religion.

@theriverQueen01 Ironically Egypt was a lot more friendly to women in the 20s than it is now.

Now without ideology to turn to, Arab Nationalism now turns back to religion for a cause celebre or inspiration to fight for.

I didnt think women in egypt could dress like that. i thought it was all burqas and such now.

@ProgressiveAudio
It is normal in Egypt to dress up like that. Actually, it is normal in most of the Arab world.
