The Bleeding Flower
Once Yousef was seated at the table, he took his laptop out of his bag and while he was busy starting it up, he addressed Michael:
Tonight I'll show you a rare video clip. The clip barely exceeds half a minute, but it is unusual, because it will take us through history to about a century ago; it is a visual document.
With great interest, the heads of Michael and Yousef turned towards the laptop and they looked directly at its screen.
Michael: (After watching the video) Oooh, that's great! I�m so intrigued to see what the pattern of life was like in my country, Britain, nearly a hundred years ago! Look at the joy on the faces of the passers-by in the street! Look at the delight of this child! Life was less constrained and more natural. Such a life is really appealing to the self!
Yousef: I�ll replay the clip to draw your attention to another important observation.
(Yousef hits the re-play button, and continued his conversation with Michael.)
Yousef: Look! That woman�There, two�No five, actually six women, notice that for all of them the only parts of their bodies exposed are their heads - though they are covered with hats - and the hands, and all of them are wearing loose-fitting clothing that does not reveal the shape of their bodies.
Michael: True!
Yousef: So what happened?!
Michael: What happened where?
Yousef: In your societies.. .
Michael: You mean nudity and lack of modesty?!
