There is always more to the story than what we see. This article is sorely lacking in details. I really don't want to be prejudicial in any way.... but during and after transition, I was hit upon by many men from the middle east. In many of these encounters I feared for my life. Often I had to be very obstinate to drive them away.

Often I had to be very obstinate to drive them away.There are many facets of Middle East culture we have no clue about. This attitude by men toward women outside the obvious protection of a clan is one.
Most Muslims have six names: [given-name][dad's-given-name][grandpa's-given-name][clan('family') ancestral-name][village-name][region-name]
Clans and their loyalties are kept by the practice of patriarchal first cousin marriage. A father of a daughter will 'give' her to a brother's son, to keep clan loyalties pure.
We as a society need to learn more about this culture.
