For Egyptians this usually means arrest, torture and imprisonment. While we don't know of any case where entrapment has been used against non-Arab foreigners there is a real risk it could be at any time in the future. In the past we didn't accept personal ads which were obviously posted by Egyptians. Many people complained to us that this was simply pandering to the Egyptian authorities and encouraging them to target other sites in order to intimidate Egypt's gay community out of existence. Consequently we now allow people to post personal ads for Egypt at their own risk. You should note that similar risks also exist in some other countries.

MARRAKESH.NET WORLDWIDE GAY FORUMS ATTRACT OVER 14 MILLION HITS ! We created Marrakesh.net after our work on the website GayEgypt.com showed there was a lack of cheap, easy to use, networking sites for the gay community in Africa and Asia, especially in the predominantly muslim nations, where gays suffer from isolation, discrimination and persecution. GayEgypt.com started in 2000 as a website for Egypt's gay community but we soon discovered that gays and lesbians across Africa and Asia were offered second rate and often costly networking forums by American and other international dating companies. We wanted to ensure that gays and lesbians in Asia and Africa 1. could have separate boards for all major cities 2. that no one should not have to pay 3. since for many English is a second language, they shouldn't have to complete a complex registration process 4. should be able to read and post messages in their own language and 5. had faster access so we gave many forums such as Bangladesh and Nigeria their own gay + country name.com addresses. MARRAKESH.NET PIONEERED GAY FORUMS ACROSS AFRICA AND ASIA. WE HOST THOUSANDS WORLDWIDE WITH OVER TEN MILLION HITS FOR OUR MIDDLE EAST BOARDS ALONE. AND ALL FORUMS ARE TOTALLY FREE SO JUMP ON BOARD !
