Ouch. I have Arabic blood, even if I'm a Catholic Filipina who grew up without any trace of Arabic-Muslim culture, not blatantly anyway. Muslim tradition in its most conservative is even worse than ten Saint Augustine's or any other patriarch or what in its Christian counterparts. That's the country where women are veiled, for God's sake, and one must understand that ergo, kissing scenes are as taboo as porn in such a society. I'm not justifying their act of censoring, I'm simply saying that it's their prerogative, in much the same way PJ got away with his many blunders.

I'm so sorry for this rant.
