You know, I was doing some looking around for material for an entry when I came across this gem - I just have a lot of trouble believing things like this still go on in the world:
Interviewer: Is female circumcision a regular thing for you people?
Villager: Yes.
Interviewer: Aren’t there people who refrain from circumcising [their girls]?
Villager: No, all women are circumcised.
Interviewer: So it’s a must...
Villager: Yes.
Interviewer: It has been said that circumcision is harmful to the girl’s health.
Villager: We have never prevented it, because a girl must be circumcised. She must. It doesn’t affect her at all. It would affect her if she didn’t. But this way, the girl becomes smart and calm, and then she grows tall and beautiful.
Interviewer: If she’s circumcised, she grows tall and beautiful?
Villager: Yes.
Apparently you can find all kinds of good clips from Arabic tv here.

I had to put underwear on after reading that. Why didn't I have any on before...take a wild guess, I'm sure you'll be correct.
