Joumana Haddad, again

"This kind of talk has won her fundamentalist enemies but also critics among the nonreligious Arab intelligentsia, who think she’s a lightweight shock artist. The Lebanese-American professor As’ad AbuKhalil, who teaches at California State University and calls himself a radical feminist, has excoriated her in the leftist pro-Hezbollah paper Al-Akhbar and on his English-language blog, The Angry Arab. “She poses in the Western press, where people who write about her don’t know Arabic, as a victim of fundamentalists, when I know of no fundamentalist who ever attacked her, and I don’t think they know who she is,” he says. As for Jasad, AbuKhalil pronounced it “nothing courageous and nothing daring: it is rather sleazy and attempts to satisfy Gulf oil princes. It is sold in Gulf countries as soft porn.”"
