who is this kamel daoud? apparently he writes in french and his translated piece about “the sexual misery of the arab world” was just published in the NYT. all i can say is eeewww. says a lot about this disgraceful rag that they would choose to publish such blatant repugnant orientalist trash. it’s just the arab world that’s obsessed with sex? what could be more french than houellebecq and strauss-kahn and what they represent? also, wondering if the NYT followed up on the story of alan dershowitz’s escapades with underage girls. there seems to be a lot of “sexual misery” here at home as well, people, and it’s expressed in all kinds of misogynistic depraved ways. get real.
