Very funny article. Thanks for posting.

The funny part is that the most logical explanation for the "macho" part of Iberian culture, as compared to that of other Mediterranean Catholic countries, is the period of Muslim domination of the peninsula.

The extreme identification of male "honor" with female virtue is straight out of the honor killing aspect of Arab culture.

Although the Spanish "point of honor" requires killing the rapist or seducer, not the sister or daughter. Personally, I consider that a considerable improvement.

Only the dhimmi confuses islam as being respectful of women. These people who convert to islam are losers in real life. They see this act as grabbing attention from their community. Makes them important for a few months.
