Aliaa Magda Elmahdy, Egypt Activist, Poses Naked, Sparks Outrage (PHOTOS)


CAIRO -- A woman activist who posted nude pictures of herself on her blog to protest limits on free expression has triggered an uproar in Egypt, drawing condemnations from conservatives and liberals alike.
Some liberals feared that the posting by 20-year-old university student Aliaa Magda Elmahdy would taint them in the eyes of deeply conservative Egyptians ahead of Nov. 28 parliamentary elections in which they are trying to compete with fundamentalist Islamic parties.
Scroll down for photos.
Nudity is strongly frowned upon in Egyptian society, even as an art form. Elmahdy's posting is almost unheard of in a country where most women in the Muslim majority wear the headscarf and even those who don't rarely wear clothes exposing the arms or legs in public.
Elmahdy wrote on her blog that the photographs - which show her standing wearing only stockings - are "screams against a society of violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy." The blog has received 1.5 million hits since she posted the photos earlier this week.
The posting comes at a time when Egypt, a nation of some 85 million people, is polarized between Islamists and liberals ahead of the elections, the first since the February ouster of former President Hosni Mubarak. Members of the most hardline Islamic movement in Egypt, the Salafis, have warned voters during their campaigns that liberals will corrupt Egypt's morals.

"This hurts the entire secular current in front of those calling themselves the people of virtue," Sayyed el-Qimni, a prominent self-described secular figure, said referring to Islamists.
"It's is a double disaster. Because I am liberal and I believe in the right of personal freedom, I can't interfere," el-Qimni said Wednesday night on one of Egypt's popular TV political talk shows, "90 Minutes."
The April 6 movement, one of the most prominent liberal activist groups that led the 18-day uprising against Mubarak, issued a statement denying claims by some on the Web that Elmahdy is a member of the group.
The posting prompted furious discussions on Internet social media sites, with pages for and against her put up on Facebook.
One activist, Ahmed Awadallah, praised her in a Tweet, writing, "I'm totally taken back by her bravery."
A supporter, who identified himself as Emad Nasr Zikri, wrote in a comment on Elmahdy's blog, "We need to learn how to separate between nudity and sex." He said that before fundamentalist influence in Egypt, "there were nude models in art school for students to draw."
Some 100 people liked his comment, while thousands flooded the site with insults. Some denounced Elmahdy as a "prostitute" and "mentally sick" or urged police to arrest her.
Elmahdy did not reply to attempts by The Associated Press to contact her.
Her move comes as Salafis have become more assertive in pushing their attitude that women should be kept out of the public eye, promoting a Saudi Arabia-style segregation of the sexes. On Salafi parties' campaign banners, photos of the few female candidates are replaced by drawings of a flower.
During a recent election rally in the Mediterranean city of Alexandria, Salafists covered up a public statue that depicted mermaids. Salafi clerics appearing on TV talks shows have refused to appear face-to-face with female TV hosts, unless the presenter puts on a headscarf or in one case, a barrier was placed between the two. Most recently, an Islamist preacher crashed into a university musical concert in a Nile Delta province of Mansoura, saying music was forbidden by Islam and that he wanted to "promote virtue and prevent vice" - the term used for the mission of Saudi Arabia's religious police.
Women rights activist Nehad Abou el-Qomsan said conservatives "keep adding layers to cover up the women and deny their existence."
But, she said, what Elmahdy did "is also rejected because posing nude is a form of body abuse."
Elmahdy and her boyfriend Kareem Amer, also a controversial blogger, have challenged Egypt's social strictures before. Earlier this year, they posted mobile phone video footage of themselves debating with managers of a public park who threw them out for public displays of affection.
Amer, who spent four years in prison for blog posting deemed insulting to Islam and for calling Mubarak a "symbol of tyranny," chided liberals who condemned Elmahdy.
"I think we should not be afraid of those in power or Islamists, as much as we should be worried of politicians claiming to be liberal," he wrote on his Facebook page. "They are ready to sacrifice us to avoid tarnishing their image."

Kaffirs are all singing her praise, worshipers of the devil & lovers of sin, why don't they take her to their country where she'll be a dime a dozen? Why do they call who*edom liberation? and feel so free to speak on behalf of Muslim women?

I can't stand their agenda, I can't stand their mentality, I can't stand their beliefs, I can't stand their comments and I have no desire to even meet half way. Today I truly declare how much I detest kuffar, filthy bunch of maggots I am so outraged!

I really do pray that her filth puts those so called liberals who want a 'civil state' in a place where they have no credibility .. this is the sort of thing we'll be looking at daily in our societies. So we can all be equals in whor*ville

I had a chance to calm down and you know what.. I think insha'Allah this will prove useful to Muslims who desire to bring back the true khilafah.. Egypt is full of nutters anyway, it needs a major irrigation and I think this might just put them over the edge.. Unlike our western counterparts even the so-called libbys find this to be a form of subjugation of women not liberation.. I think she & her boyfriend are just trying to immigrate and make a fast buck in tough economic times & there are only two ways the can do it. Bashing Islam and doing something well whor*like!

[Perseveranze]

Asalaamu Alaikum,

In a positive sense, she's further digging the graves of secularist/liberals ;D So I suppose some benefit came from it. However...

- Insulting Islam
- Disgusting Immoralities
- Fornication

How she would survive anything but execution is beyond me.

[جوري]

I am sure she's banking on making international headlines to come save her, perhaps she can even be knighted by the queen like Salman Rushdie..
They're welcome to have her, we don't want filth in our midst..
I guess when the going gets tough the talentless resort to the world's oldest profession.
Prostitution never gets old.. they just slap the 'liberation' label on it!

I visited her blog, and commented on her youtube video, which I'd have never done was I not so livid my parents told me when I discussed this with them that we shouldn't pay heed to garbage but I am so furious.. Now I just want to clean my computer I feel like it has become filthy walhi..
astghfor Allah l3atheem.. I can't believe the comments.. I read one that says 13 dislikes means 13 women who want to be in the kitchen.. I guess the only way for a woman to liberate herself from the kitchen is to become a prostitute it's the world's oldest profession after all

^regardless - it will make thinkers think.

these are examples of the furqan between kufr and faith, Allah lets us distinguish the pure from the vile:

Allah disdains not to use the similitude of things, lowest as well as highest.
Those who believe know that it is truth from their Lord;
but those who reject Faith say: "What means Allah by this similitude?"
By it He causes many to stray, and many He leads into the right path;
but He causes not to stray, except those who forsake (the path),

[ardianto]

Men and women are two different kind of human, but not in different level. Women were created as the partner for men, not as the servant of men. Both gender complement each other, both gender have their own nature, but both gender are equal.

However, many men still regard women lower than them, as creature who beautiful but brainless. Many men still regard women only as sexual object who can't do anything except give men satisfaction on the beds.

It's still happened in this modern days. And if we look at the past, we can see the worse situation in the age that called Jahiliyah when men treated women without respect, without honor. Treated women only as slaves on the beds. It's because men regarded women as creatures who could not do what men could do.

Alhamdulillah, nowadays I have seen many women start to realize their fitrah as the equal partner for men who not only slaves on the beds who lower than men. They proven the world, what the men can do, the women can do too. Men can be pilots, women can be pilots, men can create high buildings, women can create high buildings too.

I have meet women like this. And from what I have seen, men treat those success women respectful and with honor. When those women talk on a seminar, men listen to them. When men meet those women anywhere, men always greet those women respectfully.

That's what the women should do if they want men treat them equally. Show the world that women are not slaves on the beds who have beauty but brainless, but human who can do every things like men can do.


Ironically, while many women attempt to back to their fitrah as people who equal to men, some women put themselves lower than men like in Jahiliyah age. Instead of show the world they can invent something, they show their bodies to the men and make men regard them only as sexual object who beautiful but brainless.

Different than other women who prefer men greet them respectfully, those wrong women prefer men harassing them with "hi, sexy!" and start to imagine their performance on the beds. Ironic, those women call themselves Modern Women, but their behavior is Jahiliyah behavior.

If those women use their brains to thinking, they will prefer men appreciate them from what they have created with their skills, not 'appreciate' them as favorite on the bed. That is if they use their brains.


Women have freedom of expression, but they should use this freedom to express themselves through what they can do with their brains, their skills, not through their bodies.

assalam alaykum

my husband told me about this incident..and he was so so angry,,,,
i did not come across it anywhere but now you have found it

this is unbelievable how can this girl possibly believe this is liberty

how sad to think that she is one of those campaigining for freedom and liberty in egypt..what kind of freedom is coming...

this just shows how far some people have gone away from the truth ..in the flase belief that the west and all its values represents tuth freedom and democracy

one question ..where are the parents of such people

was frustrated..
that she was having a muslim name - i think it has a part with a meaning like "the rightly guided"
.. the country - in a muslim majority country..
and the reason provided for it.


These kinda people inspired by the modern rights/liberation/freedoms..will do.. wat they want to do....irrespective of the country/religion/gender... they are mentally like that. They are choosing their fate... a worst one.

[Ramadhan]

^hiding

I really feel for their parents. Can you even begin to imagine how they are feeling if they are religious people? How distraught they must be, how scared they must be of the day when they will be questioned about their children. If the are religious, they must be making du'a day and night for their children.

[Insaanah]

:sl:

The sad facts of today's world, are that some people are gullible enough to get brainwashed into thinking that anything from non-Muslims or the West, is advanced/progressive and to be taken on board and embraced, while Islam is backwards/oppressive.

But this is how foolish these people are (without Islam even coming into the equation):

Imagine if a person were to display all his wealth to the public, both cash in hand plus all he had in banks, withdrawn from his accounts, and laid out bare on display for all to see, and he says, "Everybody, I want to express my freedom to show you my wealth. It's mine, so it's up to me what I do with it. I will not be oppressed and keep it hidden away. Come now everybody and feast your eyes on my wealth! This is the pinnacle of freedom and empowerment!"

People would say he was barking mad, that he might need his mental status checking. They'd say, "Why would someone do this? You're just asking for someone to rob/burgle you. Don't do that. Protect your money."

If that's the case for money, what about something that's irreplaceable, no matter how much money you have? What about our bodies, our lives, our dignity? People wouldn't do it with their money, but are gullible and foolish enough to be brainwashed into doing it with their bodies, thinking that it is the pinnacle of freedom and empowerment. And people praise them for it:

"I'm totally taken back by her bravery."

Nobody would say that in the case of money, rather they would criticise. But that praise from men (and some women) encourages them further. What the people doing it don't realise, is that they are actually pandering to the desires of men, rather than maintaining their dignity and privacy. They think that that desire to please men and make them happy, and receive praise from them, is freedom, when it is actually nothing less than oppression of the worst sort.

They value their money more than they do their lives, and that is sad. It is nothing less than foolishness, gullibility, a total disrespect for their bodies, for He who gave to to them, and a violation of normal human behaviour and God's laws. Our bodies have more rights on us than our money does.

I wish they could see what they were doing, and I pray Allah makes them become aware of the error of their ways, and guides them to the truth, ameen.

I think they're no better than her, she's parading them around in her pictures.. I went to read about this incident from Egyptian sources and really got the feeling that she's a paid operative... She also says that she's an atheist and peddles in all the same atheist rhetoric that we've seen here from atheists. Even if she's Egyptian, there's all sorts of crap that comes from there including devil worshipers.. All sorts of filth is infesting Egypt now because for the first time the people might actually have the ability to change things.. So they have people dressing like Muslims, going places and saying utterly ridiculous things that have nothing to do with Islam just to distort its image.. May Allah swt make true Muslims ever victorious, what an ugly time we live in..

Can you even begin to imagine how they are feeling if they are religious people?

They're not!!

O you who have believed, do not take as intimates those other than yourselves, for they will not spare you [any] ruin. They wish you would have hardship.

what's upsetting me is the kind of 'freedom' the Kuffar wish for Muslims to import.. their comments are as vile as they're vile..
but I was just reading these verses:

Sahih International
And do not be grieved, [O Muhammad], by those who hasten into disbelief. Indeed, they will never harm Allah at all. Allah intends that He should give them no share in the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment.

3:177 to top

Sahih International
Indeed, those who purchase disbelief [in exchange] for faith - never will they harm Allah at all, and for them is a painful punishment.

Quran does make one feel better almdlillah.. my computer is thoroughly clean insha'Allah.. I want to put this to rest & have it be a thing forgotten. Already there's a million in tahrir square today protesting against this article, meant to be written not to change the law since they know that the 'Islamists' will inevitably inherit the earth insha'Allah and people are against any fixed article that enables them to rob the country, to give the military the right to overthrow the government elected like in Turkey, etc.. fifty some articles with three very huge very ugly once, let's see how that evolves.

she's a moron with no objective and no religion, she's just an exhibitionist who is anti religion. Nakedness doesn't elevate a woman it subjugates her.. I hope she & her supporters just go away, there are far more grandeur things taking place of importance than the rants of a wh*re..

Good for her, now who will take a naked person seriously? I guess some people are looking forward to a future in which woman can walk around naked! I MEAN IT'S NOT THE 50'S ANYMORE, SHOW UR BODY GRL! Also, this article is just like, "Salafists Islamist blah blah blah vs liberals." Insha Allaah there will be a khalifah...

[جوري]

They're looking to shape the direction of this in anyway they can, especially that Egypt plays a pivotal role in the middle east & as they see one regime after the next is being toppled with people wanting to bring back the khilafah, it is really got to be a big slap in the face. The Media is their only last outlet to brainwash the masses. It doesn't work with Muslims though because amongst other things, we're sober & patient.

I just hope she is smart enough to see that, other women learn from this and smart enough to see this too.

it's almost funny how the boys egg them on to expose themselves just because they want to get an eyeful,
and they do it just to impress because they're led by the lamestream media to assume it is normal conduct despite something inside probably telling them it's wrong (until they become desensitized to it of course)
and the worst part is that some of them even believe the cr*p about them feeling dignity while doing it.

[Hamza Asadullah]

This is clearly the meddling of the zionists to try to further liberalize Egypt. No doubt she will have many Muslim admirers who look upto her for doing such a thing. The zionists have not and will not lose their grip on Egypt as it is essential they hang onto it to further their own cause. That is why the ousting of Mubarak was no cause for celebration but the beginning of the struggle to give Egypt back to the Muslims and to let Islam flourish therein like it has done in the past.

[جوري]

more 'Jihadis' should open themselves up to looking at naked Who*es and then tolerance will sweep over the lands ;D
I suppose when they completely adopt western moral decay with all that it entails of drunkenness, sexually transmitted diseases, rape and wars against sovereign nations to rob them of their wealth to make up for the deficit created in a stupor and devil worship will tolerance sweep over the lands...

You're right maybe there's wisdom in keeping her ilk on the forum.

There isnt. I don't know why we as Muslims give these people the time of day. There is absolutely nothing intelligent about most of these Islam haters. I was curious about their views myself and I did watch Submission and Fitna but it was just facepalm after facepalm. If I believed in human evolution I would think they were the missing links. Let them sell out their people and their religion they will be the ones lonely in the end because when all is said and done they are just pets not equals to these people they love so much.
