If there were hatred and misogyny in the Middle East, surely they would
show up as physical violence aganist women. Yet, according to the World
Development Report of 1993, the number of DALYs lost for women to violence (and
even self-inflicted violence) was the lowest in the world. The only scourge of
the Arab woman was war. Figures repeatedly show some of the lowest rape
statistics in the world: that's not hard to understand. Most rapes in developed
countries are date rapes; since boys and girls don't mix in Arab (and Musim and
Hindu) countries, the incidence of rape is low. On the other hand, date rapes
and campus rapes in places like the United States show a high degree of misogyny.
