The outrage is that these so called rights campaigners are only upset about the outside influence. They will deem honor killing and forced child marriage as a cultural thing.

It is amazing how arrogant some people can be. A bunch of ‘do-gooders’ have decided FOR these people that they must not have any progress or advancement in their civilization...

...and THEY call US ‘imperialistic’.
