“Posting naked pictures, candy, holograms, and products with sexual expressions and fallen revelations is legitimately forbidden and legally criminal,” the Egyptian Islamic governmental body, Dar Al-Ifta, explained in a statement posted to Facebook. The statement continued to state that it was “an assault on the value system.”
“One one level it’s hard not to be initially struck by the absurdity of penis cupcakes garnering the attention of state prosecutors, police investigators, members of parliament and the regime-controlled press. At the core of the matter is not the banning of sexuality in the public sphere, it is restricting sexuality that is outside the control of men,” explained Timothy E. Kaldas, a non-resident Fellow from the Tahrir Institute of Middle East Policy, according to The Guardian.
