Nada Al-Ahdal | In our society:

In our society:
A man is ashamed to flirt
In our society:
You cannot trust the wife?
In our society:
We are ashamed of love and openly show hatred
In my homeland:
Books are sold on the pavements
In our society, five things a man memorises:
"Men are in charge of women"
"two, three or four"
"Indeed, their cunning is great"
"To the male, a share equal to that of two females"
Guests deficient in mind and religion
In our society:
Five things a man forgets:
"The best of you, the best of you, are those best to their families"
"Be gentle with the glass vessels"
"Treat women well"
"None honours women but the noble, and none insults them but the base"
"You will never be able to be just, even if you strive"
– and he does not carry out a single one of them –
In my homeland:
Love = forbidden
Insults = permitted
Customs = obligatory
Acts of worship = optional
Woman = something to be hidden
Man = authority
The self-confident = arrogant
Talent = must be buried
In my homeland:
The flower seller is martyred
The vegetable seller is arrested
The grocer is wounded
All the sellers in your homeland!
In homelands:
Those who do not deserve to die, die ..
In some homelands:
The chests of heroes are filled with bullets, and the bellies of traitors are filled with money.
