Showed this (the BBC version) to my Thai Muslim student today. He is a nice, moderate Muslim. He is against the nasty Muslims in the southern parts of Thailand who are trying to set up their own Sharia-led state, and thinks 9/11 was a travesty. So the last thing I expected him to say was this:
She is not a real Muslim or she would be at home not trying to be a man! She should be stoned! Her husband should be killed too for letting her speak in public
(Not a verbatim quote as he is only a pre-intermediate English student.)
I cannot show bias in any direction but I really did want to faceplam and then possibly cry.
