Discrimination continues, separation prevails and oppression will always persist. "Why do they hate us?" writes Mona Eltahawy, a freelance Egyptian-American journalist who writes publications on women's issues and social welfare in the Islamic world. It talks about a story written in the book entitled “Distant View of a Minaret” by another Egyptian writer, Alifa Rifaat. The book begins with a piece about a woman who feels nothing about her relationship with her husband. She remains unmoved, as Eltahawy would say, by the relationship with her husband since he does the act only for his own pleasure. The woman is distracted during sex and notices the simplest things in the room: a spiderweb hanging from the ceiling and the realization that she is cutting her toenails as she stretches her body to reach her husband. She is not satisfied and during these periods she has always been denied sexual climax by her husband. In this way, inevitably, he takes over his will to do anything. The Islamic call to prayer interrupts the moment and her husband leaves her, letting her go to wash and rejuvenate as the Islamic religion requires. He takes a shower, gets fully dressed and dedicates himself to prayer. Feeling satisfied with her worship, she feels a different kind of satisfaction and looks forward to the next call to prayer as she looks out from the balcony of her home. Her duty to her husband remains and she virtuously prepares his coffee, just as he requests it. Taking him to the bedroom, he suddenly notices something. Her husband's body appears to be limp in the bed, as if he had suffered a seizure. Is dead. He tells his son to go get a doctor while he waits. She brings the coffee into the living room and drinks it alone. "She...... middle of paper......ml>.6) "Egypt: End sexual violence against women protesters." -Amnesty International USA.
