First, they have allowed their countries to become corrupted--thus, invoking the wrath of God. Second, they have a great tendency to kiss Americans behinds all the time.

Someone like Hala Mattar who actually lived in Bahrain but was pretty much unknown should have been famous, but she wasn&#039;t. By that we see that many talents are extremely hidden and it&#039;s such a great thing to see MEY expose them to the public eye. I&#039;m going to search on this topic further more since it really interests me. As for the movie, I youtube-ed it and it turns out that nothing exists there. I hope I get my hand on it soon, though, since it sounds like a pretty great one.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am not sure if she is the first arab film-maker to tackle such a topic in a film, since from what I have noticed, there are so many arab talents out there.

Haha!I think homosexuals are unnecessarily discriminated against in the ME. In the Arab world I know it is against our religion, but it&#039;s such a personal and sensitive topic. I believe they should really be left alone to live their lives the way they want to, which some do regardless of these restrictions.I interviewed several homosexuals before for this site, one is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mideastyouth.com/2007/03/20/interview-with-a-syrian-homosexual/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here&lt;/a&gt; and the other is &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mideastyouth.com/2006/10/29/homosexuality-in-the-arab-world-2/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;here.&lt;/a&gt; We also featured a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mideastyouth.com/2007/07/21/interview-with-a-kuwaiti-transsexual/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Kuwaiti transsexual.&lt;/a&gt;I think this place should be a platform to serve everyone&#039;s interests in the region, especially if they are otherwise silenced or discriminated against, and this includes homosexuals. Unfortunately some consider this our way of advocating for a homosexual way of life, which is not true. We merely give them a much-deserved and much needed voice, something our mainstream media outlets obviously fail to do.</description> <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>I know you may be asking what I was doing with the wife of a mullah.</p></blockquote><p>Haha!</p><p>I think homosexuals are unnecessarily discriminated against in the ME.

I suppose this is one of those films to add to things I must see when I go to NY next time.Isn&#039;t is crazy how everybody knows it (homosexuality) exists here (ME), yet try to deny it (kinda don&#039;t ask, don&#039;t tell and definitely don&#039;t go flaunting it).  I can see how it can be very easy to explore that side of sexuality here.  Men are always together from childhood on, as well as women are always with women and I suppose &quot;experimentation&quot;  does pop up a lot.  I have a friend here who once told me that she prayed she would not turn into an angry lesbian.  I asked her what she meant by that, basically her mullah husband is the source of her anger.  I know you may be asking what I was doing with the wife of a mullah.  Long story, and my middle name is not &quot;home-wrecker&quot;.
