I too lived among Arabs in Mombasa, Kenya for over two decades. Indeed, I taught in an Arab school for five years and had a lot of close Arab friends from College etc. I therefore have a pretty good idea about Arab attitude to sex etc. However, I wanted to go beyond hearsay re rape in Goa in 1961 and Kuwait in 1990. Until I get some hard evidence, I will keep an open mind over the issue. To date, I have been unable to obtain hard evidence but of course, there are lots of repeated rumours. As A. Veronica Fernandes raised the issue, I had hoped for the evidence I seek and am still hopeful it will emerge. I could contact two academics I know well from Kuwait but don't see the urgency to do this. Mario's rant did not provide an iota of hard evidence but just heavily biased hearsay once again. It was therefore a complete waste of time as is so often the case about anything from Mario.
