This thread is very off-topic, and normally I wouldn't reply to this
kind of message, but in this case I feel I have to.
I lived in Saudi Arabia for 7 years, and have therefore experienced the
warm arabian culture and have many arab friends in Saudi, UAE and
Bahrain.
In many parts of the world we will find cultures that behave
differently than the one we grew up in and are used to. We have no
right to demand explanations or say that another culture is "wrong"
just because it's different.
I think it is important to remember this fact before posting comments,
and also remembering that this is not the place to discuss/question
political/cultural issues.
