It's a totalitarian society. Those in power are not subject to punishment. The sheiks and mullahs routinely troll for little boys as the objects of their homosexual satisfaction. Once violated, it is perfectly permissible to execute the victims of the homosexual activity. A former co-worker who served in Saudi Arabia said his base commander restricted all troops to the base while the local sheik was trolling for new victims. The sheik and his buddies would drive out of town to a local establishment where they could drink and gamble in a private room...out of the public eye. Islamic piety is the height of hypocrisy.
Yes, but considering the experience you have, you must know how maddening it is to try to discuss this with one of those folks. They smile and say 'No, you don't understand," and "Ah but you have such people here, too," completely sidestepping the very foundations of their society being so hidden, and denied.
