#3 Rania's got guts. Next issue to spotlight is honor killings.

Notice next time you read a Saudi paper on USA/Iraq/Israel... how you see quotes begin with "Everybody knows..." like Everybody knows the real power in the White House. Well everybody in the MK knows others in Rania's position, but also everybody knows not a thing will be done to rectify situation. You know, my brother, international image and all that.

BTW, loved the BBc style. Must have been translated from Arabic. Everybody "loves" Rania. Another hoot was telling us that women aren't allowed to vote in MK. Really? I thought the vote was limited to...nobody!

#7 Hey! I didn't ask for the pictures - I just thought, naively, it was new.

#8 So AntiGum advocates the beating of women? Why am I not surprised?

#9 Thanks for the info Howard UK
I wasn't going to comment on this but I see a product of the mindset of or "higher Educational System" has raised it head -

BUT IT'S A DIFFERENT CULTURE YOU FREEPER BASTARDS

Different culture my a**.

If I say we condem some 11th century thug beating up his wife, and get condemed by being called facist or some kind of "-ism", so what.

So apparently we aren't allowed to call a savage a savage because he might get "offended"?
Well I offend this stupid "singer". You beat your wife you stupid jackass?
I hope the cops, when they find you, handle you.

#10 There are about 20 good books out on women of the Middle East that depict even worse treatment than this of there women. It's not uncommon for a woman to be locked away and never seen again...in her parents house!! I am surprised that this story even got out of S.A.
They have more respect for their camels than they do for there women.

#12 Raj> AntiGum is a parody of Antiwar (who might himself be a parody of something or a troll, but who's also possibly the genuine article).

Anyway, AntiGum seems to advocate everything that civilised people don't.

I find him annoying myself, partly because some people here really do seem to think him for real, or reply to him as if he really believes what he's writing.

#13 Aris Katsaris - You are evidently unfamilliar with the state of Colleges and Universities, and what they teach as "fact". AntiGum parrots what was driven into him by middle-aged hippie professors who are leftovers from anti-Vietnam War protests.

#14 Anonymous4052 -- you are free to believe he's real ofcourse, but I still think he's nothing but an intentional strawman/parody.

And it's not good for debate to construct such strawmen IMO. Good for humour perhaps, as long as everyone knows the guy's fictional.
