A brilliant article comparing the western guilt culture and the Arab /Eastern shame culture.
I have often wondered why this is “Arab men eradicate shame and bolster their shaky self-esteem by imposing the shameful qualities of the dhimmi, submission and passivity, upon women. Trailing a humbled woman behind them, Arab men can walk the walk of the true macho man” Spot on I always find it acutely distasteful that you get the guys dressed like true westerners with a black cloud behind them. Need to read this article and the books. Just ordered The seven Pillars of Wisdom by my childhood hero – Lawrence of Arabia
