She also does it by talking about sex in an Islamic light, arguing that the faith is in favor of pleasure for both men and women, with one important caveat - that it be only in the context of marriage.
Yep, I often heard that concerning Muslim traditions, that are the fundies who wanna break it out.
It does make me wonder if Muslim women are more sexually liberated than American women behind closed doors...
Could be yes, but it seems that a marriage remains a
huge thing, even in one of the most secularized Muslim country, Tunisia, where the western influence is strong.
You would be amazed how much sex there is on Arab TV. In Iraq, I saw a ton of Iraqi cable channels and I'd say about 1/3 of them were something of a sexual nature. Normally sex hotlines.
Nevertheless, I was shocked to see this on Iraqi/Arab TV. I guess it's more common than what we would think.
I don't if it's because it would have changed in a few years, but someone from Tunisia with who I recently spoke told me that on satellite Arab networks there where a lot of western Hollywood stuffs, but, when it comes to a simple ...kiss on the mouth...then...*censored*... Scenes of kissing/love are cut, she told me, even those from the satellite networks of the most liberal places that have inter-Arab networks places like Dubai.
