Sure that humans are far from perfection in all parts of the world. But there is something about the petrodollar power trips associated with lack of education that leads to the abuses described in this post as well as the abuse of the domestic helpers and labor! Seen in this region (culture) with much more intensity than in any where else in the world! Not far from the reality a few thousands years ago!
As for the family seeing him as a problem, it might be the case but because he was caught, not because what he did.
The regional civilization's evolution long path is still at its beginning and the savage nature is alive and kicking. Many centuries of desert isolation and illiterateness preserved well the savage mentalities of millenniums ago.
I know it’s not politically correct to affirm this, but if we want be honest and fare to the world, it can’t be denied! The savage behavior is much higher in this region than any other part of the world!
It might be cultural, but it sure is primitive!
