(UPDATED) Proposed Law in Egypt: Hopefully a Hoax, a Misunderstanding or an Exaggeration


Apr 27, 2012 by

UPDATE:

The New York Magazine, pointing to the same story in the Christian Science Monitor we linked to yesterday, says that the Egyptian Corpse-Sex Law probably is not real:

We say probably because even the doubters have been unable to provide conclusive evidence yet. But they — the Christian Science Monitor’s Dan Murphy and readers of Andrew Sullivan’s blog, for example — point out that the story is entirely predicated on an opinion column written by a loyalist of Hosni Mubarak who presumably has a motive to embarrass the Islamists who have taken control of Parliament in the wake of Mubarak’s downfall…

Read those readers opinions here

I had never heard of this. I had never even thought of this. I had never even imagined this.

But apparently there is even a name for this barbaric, disgusting act. It is called Necrophilia.

It is being reported all over the internet.

It is not clear to me whether it is a hoax.

Decide for yourself here, but also read here, and let us hope the Christian Science Monitor is correct.

    Why perpetuate the dissemination if it might be a hoax? We have plenty of things to discuss without even considering this dubious report.

    I sincerely hope this is a hoax, but the mere fact the story exists will be enough to serve the purposes of those who would perpetrate such a hoax. I don’t even want to consider the possiblity it isn’t a hoax…

    Thanks, TO

    We provided both sides of this story.

    It has now been updated. It is probably a politically motivated hoax.
