I understand Frank Sinatra was the same way.
After they applauded the guy with the stick.
Maybe, but it may also have been that the photos were of women not complying with customs and requirements of their society. So, having the photos get out may have put the guests in danger. Either way, it would have been much easier if she had just deleted the photos.

LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
I was in New Mexico at the Mescalero Apache Res...the casino of course and I saw a Northerner grab a young Indians pony-tail. "She said I love your hair"...he then touched her breast and said, "I love your tits".
I laughed, when I saw the look on her face. My wife was furious. She got mad at me for laughing, and told me "what if he had done that to me." I said 'I would have dragged you back to the car by your hair for touching another man!"
All cultures are equal.
Never photograph an Islamic wedding unless you're in a gunship over the desert after midnight.
Why couldn''t they just be satisfied to ululate in public?
Your right, if you are ever at my house and do something that offends me, I'll feel free to go to town on you with a wooden stick. Say, your on my favorite web site, posting something I don't like. Stop it now, or suffer the consequences.
Beautiful post. It brought a tear to my eye.
Maybe that's their traditional law.. er,penalty for disobedience especially from a woman? Like if you're caught stealing, your hand is cut, you don't get a slap in the wrist.
Either that or make sure you're packing if you do bring a camera.
Thank goodness she wasn't raped.
For the crime of being raped they kill the woman.
And let all the rapists go free.
That's the impression I get. It sounds like she was taking pics covertly with her camera phone, and was caught. Then when she refused to delete the pics after being ordered to by the people she took pics of, leads me to think this was an attempt at blackmail or otherwise trying to get some guests in trouble
