Nice story Skunk, unfortunately it doesn't hold any water. It's not about being protective, it's about being the head of the family. Why is a muslim female never sitting next to her husband in the car ? He can protect her better when she is in the back ?
BWAHAHAHAHA

Sorry johnny, but mostly skunk was correct in his post. The muslim religious scripts do not mention that women should walk behind their husbands, and it is not always so in Arabic countries.
And whereas you would stare yourself blind on the woman's behind ( [img]tongue.gif[/img] ) that was not the case several centuries ago. The perfect body and what was looked upon have changed so many times and still do. Note also that Skunk meantions to shield in crowds.
There's another cultural difference. Men in western countries wouldn't mind bumping into a woman just to make her notice your there, and some go even farther than that. In that the Middle east hasn't caught up on you yet.
However I do disagree that there are no religious traditions when it come to women being inferior to men. That is mentioned a lot in Arab, as well as Christian, scripts.
OK, it seems we're getting slightly off topic. I think I once more will point out that no one will be able to convinve another that one side in this dreadful drama is innocent. So let's leave all the petty squablle and get back to the discussion!
