Dad lets daughter drown in Dubai so she's not 'dishonored' by male lifeguards' touch

82. They will try to convict. But the sentence

will be light: a couple years maybe. Because after all he was motivated by an understandable concern.

Actually, his behavior was so over-the-top that even I (who have few illusions about the subject) at first suspected it was a tabloid misunderstanding.

Thats the oaradox: In UAE his action will be considered shocking, but he won't be entirely blamed.

But no one will ever point out the connection between the beliefs Islam espouses and the fact that this woman drowned. They will tell themselves "He was just crazy, I guess. He took modesty too far.".

The men will say that as they go about their day enjoying their authority over their womenfolK. And the women will say that, as they go about their day with carefully covered bodies and obedient smiles. The imam will say it as he gives the sermon on the obedience of Mohammed's wives who are an example to all women. And all day the mothers will correct their daughters and teach them all the little things they must not do, for fear of inviting gossip and dishonoring the family. And the sons meanwhile will go outside, running and laughing, to play soccer in the park.

And they'll think of the drowning and tell themselves their own ideology is innocent.

That's what I think.
