Salafis storm into woman's home, accuse her of prostitution

Dozens of Salafis on Saturday stormed into the home of a woman in the Delta city of Monufiya and burned her furniture after accusing her of being involved in prostitution.
A group of Salafis surrounded her home, while another broke into it, kicked her out, set her furniture on fire and threw it out on the street, eyewitnesses told Al-Masry Al-Youm.
They threatened to kill her if she returned home again.
A security source told Al-Masry Al-Youm that the woman was involved in prostitution cases before but was alone at home when the group attacked.
This is the second such incident in one week. News reports had said that a group of Salafis assaulted a Coptic teacher on 20 March, claiming he rents out his apartment to two prostitutes.

is it just all about prostitution ?
nothing more than that , is that all ? poor people , they just wish they could afford her other wise they would have found a better way to make it better for her.
This is terrorism. This is a witch hunt. Which century are we in?
If Salafis give themselves the right for such actions, non-Salafis perhaps will give themselves the right to raid Salafi houses and charging them for terrorism!
Any human rights left in this country?
this behaviour is strictly rejected! i hope, the salafis will be punished for their vigilantism! if we don´t stop this phenomenon now, sooner or later egypt will look like iran or afghanistan or maybe even worse! the freedom and democracy we´ve been fighting for slowly slip away...
Oh, that's right, their job is now to stand and do nothing if they are even there.
In a true democracy there are avenues of descent that are acceptable and some that are not. If the Sulafis have a credible beef with someone why not go to the police or the army? Numbers have been published for people to call with complaints. The Sulafis envolved with these forms of vandalism should be arrested and brought to trial. The woman and teacher who were harmed deserve to bring these people to trial in criminal and civil court. The Sulafis are promoting vigilante tatics that are not allowed in any democratic society. Egyptians wanted democracy and now they have to learn what that truly means.
It's not the responsability of the salafists to say what is forbidden or not
