You are the one who placed blame for a sexual assault on a group with no evidence at all. You did that. Not me. You need to look at your own bias. You have made an attempt to stain a group with this story because you don't think you like them. Did Ms. Logan blame TMB? Did anyone but you blame a religion and TMB? You need to think about what you do.

Just one week earlier, Logan and her crew were taken at gunpoint and held overnight by security forces. Foster Kamer of Esquire’s The Politics Blog interviewed Logan on the experience right before the mob attack:

They searched the journalists until they found the cameras. My producer got through that checkpoint because he didn’t have any cameras with him, but I was with one, and when they found the cameras, that was it.”

One guy got in our car, then the next check point they climbed all over the car, then the next check point we went higher and higher and higher up the chain. They don’t tell you what’s going on because they don’t want you to have any defense. They don’t want you to be able to help yourself.

She insisted in the Esquire interview that:

We were not attacked by crazy people in Tahrir Square. We were detained by the Egyptian army. Arrested, detained, and interrogated. Blindfolded, handcuffed, taken at gunpoint, our driver beaten. It’s the regime that arrested us.

Unfazed and unafraid, she went back out to do her job.

They made sure she got the hint the second time. If this is how Egypt is turning, this doesn't look good.

A bit more on the attack on the cover-up by CBS.......

Quote:
Dateline — Egypt:

“[60 Minutes] correspondent Lara Logan was repeatedly sexually assaulted by thugs yelling, ‘Jew! Jew!’ as she covered the chaotic fall of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak in Cairo’s main square Friday.”

Powerful reporting on an important story. Two problems: It didn’t run until yesterday, and CBS didn’t run it. The quote is from the New York Post. And it was The Wall Street Journal that reported “the separation and assault lasted roughly 20 to 30 minutes.”
It seems that religion was a motivating factor in the sexual assault of Lara Logan, but because CBS is so politically correct they choose to ignore the story.

do you think it is the Jewish people they hate, or their religion or both?

In the muslim culture women are considered mere possessions that men can do with what they please. That and the fact she was targeted because they thought she was Jewish is a religious motivation. I know you won't agree with that but it is a fact!

I think individuals are bigoted because of their own personal beliefs, not because of their specific religion. My belief is based upon the fact that all the major religions have historically and currently had periods of tolerance to other religions as well as periods of bloody intolerance. The only conclusion I can come up with is that those religions have tracts and scripture supporting tolerance AND tracts and scripture supporting intolerance. Therefore - bigotry is a personal choice.

In many Middle East and Asian cultures - including the Middle East Christian and Orthodox Jewish communities - women are considered and treated as possessions. That's a fact

However, we are not talking about other cultures or regions, we are talking about a muslim country Egypt. Quit trying to make this about something it is not.

of course you see things the way they are not and question the motives of anyone on the right because in your mind they are always wrong....
The mob was egged on by me too. It was called a revolution. The people that mistreated her were not egged on by TMB or me. They were not part of the movement. They were thugs. Why would you blame TMB for rape?
