And then on the other hand, up-to-now average American college girls line up in the hundreds to audition for the "Foxy Lady" strip club in Rhode Island, and porn movies elsewhere (as more news reports are showing) all because "hey, the economy is bad".
Also extremes. I wonder how "they" view "that"? (Ohhh yes, al Jazeera airs that stuff over there).
Wonder which of these two cultures will experience the quickest cultural and moral meltdown, if we based it on these two examples alone.
What your comparison misses is that the Saudis (and other fundamentalist Muslims) are first rank hypocrites. Under this “moralistic” surface they are running orgies with their multiple child-brides, butt-boys and indulge in excesses in their favorite “Babylon” Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Trust me, they can do better.
