Have you ever lived in a Muslim country?

My wife is from Pakistan, she always talks about how the harassment there is 10 times worse that anything she has experienced in the states or UK.

The Muslim / Arab world has a rape culture that needs to be corrected. Part of the reason is there is little to no sexual education. Mix that with an overly conservative society where women are usually covered way more than what you see in the west + internet porn + typical teenage / 20 something sex drive and then have that person move to Europe you will see what you saw on new years eve.
