I was saddened to read the report of the attack on the home of Osama Bin Laden and to discover that large amounts of pornographic DVDs were found. So there is one standard for Moslem women and another for the men.
In Jordan, men and boys can kill women in the family in honour killings. Women have to cover their bodies so as not to be seen by men except their husbands. And upper class Moslems can watch pornography.
There is unjustice here. I remember reading once of upper class parties in Saudi Arabia where alcohol is drunk and pornography is the highlight of the night.
The world of men is not very much different. I would like to think that all Moslem men are pure of heart and living by the highest moral standards. Then I could feel that the discipline on women is justified and part of the overall discipline that applies to all men and women.
