AWFUL – AT 9:28 A.M. ET:  While the trendies in America and Europe anguish over "Islamophobia," this is happening in Egypt.  From Fox: 

Young Christian women are facing a greater risk of being kidnapped by extremists, tortured, and even forced to convert to Islam since the Arab Spring ended in 2011.

This year already has seen a spike in the incidents, according to a report by the non-profit advocacy group International Christian Concern. It has been estimated by the ICC and other watchdog groups in the region that there have been 500 reported cases of young women being attacked by Muslim men since 2011, but unreported cases could send the figure much higher.

The girls are often assaulted, raped, kidnapped, forced to change their faith and sometimes killed, the ICC said.Making matter worse, nothing is being done by local authorities to prevent it in provinces across Egypt, according to officials from both the ICC and the Clarion Project, a US-based non-profit think tank and advocacy group.

“Not only are they turning a blind eye, they are often compliant,” Issac Six, a spokesman for the ICC told FoxNews.com, citing one incident in which a father was assaulted by an officer for asking too many questions about efforts to have his abducted daughter returned.

“It’s pervasive; police at the local level are not stopping the abductions. There needs to be more pressure from the top,” he added. “We have seen cases before where we’ve seen victims returned when the police put pressure on the kidnappers. We know it’s possible, unfortunately, the police are often complacent.”

COMMENT:  Please note the deep interest by so-called "women's" groups in the West.  They are so busy with left-wing politics that they're afraid to speak out against the horror faced by women in many Muslim societies.  And those few who do speak out are denounced as "Islamophobic," especially on our college campuses, where totalitarian movements have often gotten a respectful hearing.

People forget that Nazi officials were feted at Ivy League schools in the 1930s.  The same mentality is alive today.
