Another Peek into the Window of Islamic Society
Isaac Schrodinger writes another piece about his experience growing up in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia called Cruel Affection.
ONE OF MY RELATIVES was having a conversation with my dad in 1996. My dad was being updated about all the different family members and their present situations. The talk soon turned to one of my uncles who, at the time, had been recently married. This guy told my dad in a most nonchalant manner, "He beats his wife practically everyday." "Tsk tsk, that's not good," said my dad.Then, they moved on to other topics. . . .
