Egyptian actress facing up to five years in prison after wearing a see-through dress to film festival in Cairo apologises and says ‘I didn’t expect it to raise all this anger’
- Rania Youssef wore gauze dress to a film festival in Cario that showed off her legs
- The actress is now facing up to five years in jail for ‘offending Egyptian values’
- Youssef apologised online on Saturday, saying she didn’t mean to cause offence
- She appeared to blame designers who were ‘influenced’ by overseas festivals
Story continues below advertisementAn Egyptian actress facing five years behind bars for wearing a dress that showed off her legs has apologised for causing offence.
Rania Youssef, who is in her 30s, said she ‘didn’t expect it to raise all this anger’ in a Facebook post which appeared on Saturday.
After wearing the dress on the red carpet at a film festival in Cairo last week, Youssef appeared to blame designers who were ‘influenced’ by fashion at international film festivals.
Egyptian actress Rania Youssef apologised via Facebook for causing offence after a lace dress she wore at a film festival in Cairo landed her in court
Youssef said she did not foresee causing offence when she put the dress on and appeared to blame designers who were ‘influenced’ by international tastes
‘I want to repeat my commitment to the values and ethics we have been raised by in Egyptian society,’ said Youssef, without making an outright apology.
ADVERTISINGImages of Youssef at the event were widely shared on social media, prompting a group of lawyers to file a complaint to the chief prosecutor, who quickly referred the case to trial.
Youssef is due in court on January 12 charged with public obscenity.
The news comes after an Egyptian novelist was convicted on charge of obscenity in 2016 for referencing sex and drugs in his book.
He was sentenced to two years in prison, sparking outrage amongst human rights activists.
He was soon released after 120 prominent writers and artists, including Woody Allen, signed a letter to the authorities.
His sentence was suspended following an appeal to a Cairo court.
Egypt is technically a secular country, but President Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi – who seized power in a military coup in 2013 before being elected in 2014 – has vowed: ‘I will be responsible for (the nation’s) values, ethics, principles and religion.’

Stop Calling It Sharia Law
Sharia is not LAW – it is a Doctrine and needs to be seen as Religious Teaching not LAW.
By calling it LAW we are giving credence to it… This idea that SHARIA is not LAW makes one wonder why the incessant demand to pass Legislation to make a Doctrine of one religious Group mandatory for all?
Help spread the word… Sharia LAW is not law, it is really DOCTRINE!

If Sharia is law then Islam is not a religion, you cannot have it both ways, if Sharia is doctrine then Islam is a religion – tell me about Buddhist law, Christian law, Catholic law, Mormon law etc, muslim belief in a religious doctrine does not make it law.
By using the word law, you imply that is must be accepted by everyone as law is defined in the western meaning – and that it is and will be reinforced by penalty.

“you cannot have it both ways” great comment.
But that is the way with Islam – Islam can have it both ways and most Western Nations will prosecute you for speaking out. When did your democracy vote for that???

The U.S. is a republic, not a democracy.
This website can better explain it:

this is my point, by calling it law people are supporting the islamist because the western mindset respects law and order, not other’s dogma and doctrine, calling it law is a muslim trick no different than islamophobia – if we can disarm the power behind the abuse of the word law we can take the momentum away
to the uninitiated masses, sharia law sounds on par to western law, sharia doctrine sounds like kryptonite dogma, it is an “appeal to authority” fallacy
Appeal to False Authority. (also known as: appeal to unqualified authority, argument from false authority) Description: Using an alleged authority as evidence in your argument when the authority is not really an authority on the facts relevant to the argument.

Islam doesn’t go by western definitions.
Islam is a “religion” and the Quran is their main book.
The sect of Islam determines what makes up their Sharia Law. Just because different Muslim sects may not agree on what the law should be doesn’t matter. Muslim countries have Sharia law. Just because Muslim country A doesn’t have the same Sharia Laws as country B doesn’t make it less of a law or Islam less of a religion.
Country A may punish a woman for adultery by stoning her to death whereas country B may punish her with fifty lashes. Both are Sharia Law punishments determined by the sect of Islam.
I view Islam as an ideology with Sharia Law as the legal enforcement of what their sect wants as law. Another way to explain it is, states have different laws for voting. California just legally stole GOP seats through ballot harvesting. I don’t have that in my state but it is a law in their state. All of the states are part of the U.S. but laws will vary.

No one forced her to live in Egypt though. Heck, such a dress would be seen as strange even in Hollywood!

Her attire looks like the apogee of modesty in comparison to what women wear to the Academy Awards these days.

I could see that at the MTV VMAs…not at the Oscars. The only difference between the USA and Egypt there…is that the humiliation wouldn’t be from government here, but there would be humiliation nonetheless.

And, as usual, the moslem lays the blame at someone else’s door, this time the designers.
Stupid woman! What did she expect? She must have known what the end result would be the minute she laid eyes on that dress.
But she obviously thought she could get away with it. And when it turned out that she couldn’t, she thought the way forward was to blame someone else.

The feminists of the West will support her surely. Or not, they’d probably side with the government.
