OK, I just hope you disregard every article on middle eastern topics written by western sources.Coito ergo sum wrote:Yeah - but, just check out the history on Dahr Jamail.

I also will disregard any article that says something is "rampant" and then proceeds to cite ZERO statistics to show that anything is "rampant." If the claim is that rape is rampant, there would be statistics, not just anecdotal examples, of the rampant-ness.
