I disagree with you.
I don't think Donald Trump would ever try and change the laws of America to resemble anything like this type of sharia where victims of rape are arrested.
As much as I don't like that man, it's completely unreasonable to say he'd use sharia type law here and arrest rape victims.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Why?
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

She had to know it was dangerous there. She must have known what could happen. I'm not victim blaming. But you took yourself to a Middle Eastern country knowing full well what the laws and customs of their land is. Knowing exact how they treat women. Knowing exactly how they view Western women. With all that information you went anyway.
Oh ok. My guess is that even with crazy laws that they have the women going there don't expect men to take advantage or something along those lines.
I think once the novelty of being surrounded by very very very expensive things has worn off it would be a pretty boring place to go. I know a lot of pakistanis who go there and an Indian girl who's going there next week for a wedding.
