This is a report from 2007 about an American woman living in Dubai who has set up an organisation providing shelter to victims of domestic violence, sex trafficking and other forms of abuse. Yes, it happens in all societies including nominally Muslim ones. And even the wealthiest of them are not immune.
I am "far-right" the way Geert Wilders ... is(Comment on a book review I wrote for The Australian. Mate, you said it. Who am I to argue with you?)
... I can see why Irfan Yusuf got the 2007 Allen & Unwin Iremonger

A nasty attack by an Australian blogger named Irfan Yusuf has appeared(From an update on Mr Pipes' blog dated 21 February 2008. No, Mr Pipes, I would never jump on you. I just don't find you physically attractive!)
