So we see some indication that women are harassed in Egypt and during the demonstrations allegedly a woman was gang raped. Then the propaganda tells us this is common throughout the Arab world and has now been imported to Europe.
Curious if this behavior is, as some would have us believe, so common throughout Arab countries why has it not been seen in say Dearborn, Michigan, home of the largest Arab population in the US? Or how about the UK where the Arab population is at least 5% of total population? Or Dubai? Or Syria where women attend university, not necessarily in hiijab.

It has been reported if you go read reports.
Remember it's not a crime.
Or just forget all about this and say "It happens all the time..NBD".

It is not - at least not in Saudi, Oman, UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, or Jordan - any of the GCC. Anyone who did this would be imprisoned or put to death. I have heard of this in Pakistan and Egypt but my opinion is that it is not common.
What people need to understand (especially westerners) is that many Islamic countries do not treat women the same way they are treated in the west. The men there do not have day-to-day interaction with members of the opposite sex and in their view women who dress or act provocatively in public are deserving of whatever treatment they receive.

Still too common defense of a rape charge in the US continues to seek to imply the women's attire, manner, location and so on was responsible for the man's actions. The whole " No means No" thing attempts to make clear to young men what is and is not consent.
Then there's the North American backlash of " No means Yes" thing.
You have to remember, these acts of sexual violence against women are not just accepted in Islam, but are condoned and encouraged. The entire culture and political system is build upon misogyny, subjugation, abuse and rape of women. That is why so many primitive, savage men embrace it.
Your link is about the public harassment of women in Egypt.
Maybe because the other countries don't care enough about their women to care.
The Arab countries are patriarchal societies and women have little to no rights.
As as extreme Islam takes over you will read less than what is even available today.
