A lot of the things AS reports here on the site are based on Arab culture and not Islam. I am married to a turkish muslim, and he says the same thing. Most importantly, it is uneducated muslims that have been told, or seen examples of this type of behaivor that continue to do it. Its not that they read it in the Koran and follow. Its not Islam, its a way of controlling women.

Preaching this against Islam is nothing but spreading hate. AS needs to be able to separate Islam and culture.
