This is the twenty first century isn't it?
There's no excuse.
Since you feel the way you do, try living with your wife/young daughter in that
region while at the same time enjoying the freedoms of speech/life/etc. that
you have here.
When your daughter has been raped to shame your family or you are made to beat
your wife senseless, because of the music you listen to or because you were
seen walking with someone from a "lesser" tribe,  you'll realize like the rest
of us how moronic and ruthless these people are.
