Now Mr. Kashogi was, by all accounts, a very sophisticated fellow. She brought to class two picture albums filled with pictures of his customized plane (707 I believe). Gold plated fixtures, hologram room dividers - the works. She also related how difficult it was to convince Mr. Kashogi to not slap the pilots.

There have been several instances of bullying behaviour by people in positions of power reported in the UK recently, including slapping their employees. I personally have known English men who treat their wives appalingly, in one case more than 1 wife. The abuses of power & bad treatment of women are not limited to Muslims, they are universal.

There's a lot of publicity at the moment about the Roman Catholic hierarchy covering up instances of child abuse, the Church of England priest who married my wife & I was arrested & found guilty of child abuse. Do we infer from these instances that all Christians are child abusers (or maybe only the clergy).
