Are you trying to defend Middle-eastern culture?
Why it is so important for you to lose sleep over a culture that is not yours? Why do you cry when someone shines light on bad practices of the Middle-eastern culture?
Recently, a Bangladeshi Muslim women, who took a job as a house-maid in the Saudi Arabia, somehow came back to Bangladesh, and described her ordeal in the Saudi Society. She objected to be the sex slave of her master, and, luckily, escaped the slavery. I read news about thousands of such women from the South-east Asian countries, who have been trying to escape, but did not have such luck. Why don't you use some of your outrages to this cultural practice in the Middle-east?
If I were you, I would be happy that – world is being aware of all these strange social practices in the Middle-east; may be, world will now pay attention to the plights of these ill-fated women trapped in the Middle-east.

Just as I predicted, Sitangshu has turned nasty because I objected to the content of "Please Watch" video. No explanation by Sitangshu why he thinks we ought to 'watch' the video of this woman preaching misogyny, which, judging from a Saudi Gazette column, is not a mainstream view even in Saudi Arabia, let alone in the Ajami (non-Arabic Muslim) Muslim world.

Just as I predicted -- I am being called a "militant Islamist" because I objected to this immoral, irreligous cult practice in the name of religion.
