I found it curious that in the first time Juliette ventures out by herself in Cairo, she is acosted by a mob of muslim males who obviously wanted sex from her and she literally had to run into a shop to escape, where an older gentleman then simply shooed them off. No harm no foul I guess. Then she continues to wander around oblivious as Arab women in Burquas glare and point at her in her summer dress, bare legs, and uncovered head, eventually ending up in Tariqs all male coffee shop where everyone again glares and frowns and she is again clueless util she is told what the problem is, and that Arab women go other places and do other things. (than sitting around smoking hooka’s and drinking coffee I guess) Later, she wanders into a Mosque during prayers and stands staring at the man leading the prayers, and no one reacts or asks her to move. My issue is we all know what would happen in the REAL Muslim / Arab world if a western female were to act this stupid and ignorantly.

So Ms. Nadda has issues with how Israelies may possibly stop a bus at an imaginary checkpoint, but no issues with a woman almost being attacked and possibly raped, or the chauvinist Arab culture that makes women second class citizens? Like I said, she seems to have a romanticized view of her “culture” (seeing as how her parents left and she was born and raised in Canada) which is not based on the harsh reality the world knows.

That’s my 2 cents worth.
