i never said the west was safer (from a crime perspective).

i will readily talk about and admit to the problems that my country deals with. will you?

my wife studied english in the UK. there were many arab students there. and almost all of them were down at the pub, trying to pick up girls, and do all the things that you say don't happen here.

in my time in egypt, my honest egyptian friends would tell me about all the young egyptian boys/men who would engage in sexual acts with each other because they couldn't find it anywhere else.

human nature is such that if you take something away, people will find a replacement, arab or not.

if it takes repressing women to lower the birthrate among unwed mothers, then start raising hell because i don't agree with that. it takes 2 to tango, and i find in many countries men impose a solution on women as opposed to accepting their share of the responsibility.
