Polygamy
Did you know that Tom and Jerry the Zionist propoganda from the Jewish Disney Corporation? That 54% of all Danish women don't know who the father of their child is? That female masturbation is far more dangerous than male masturbation?
It's all on TV. Middle Eastern TV, that is! Don't worry if your household set doesn't pick up al Jazeera, or Palestinian Authority television, or IRIN. You can view clips from a couple dozen Middle Eastern stations translated into English thanks to a foundation called MEMRI TV. Their extensive collection is searchable by subject (remarkably "Antisemitism", "Holocaust Denial" and "Arab-Israeli Conflict" are all independent subjects), by keyword, and by station.
MEMRI has the capacity to monitor these stations 24/7, and its efforts are routinely used by journalists and academics seeking reliable translations of recent broadcasts from the Middle East. It is often criticized, however, for pointedly distributing the most inflammatory, anti-West, anti-Jewish segments it sees. Imagine how you would feel if some foreign site which monitored American TV featured only clips from The 700 Club, the O'Reilly Factor, and other shows of that ilk.
While it does not provide an unbiased sample, I think it does do well in documenting some significant bizarre, hateful, and sometimes, hopeful, currents of thought from the Middle East for other parts of the world. One of my favorites is a clip of an affable Imam explaining that the high women-to-straight-men ratio in the West (apparently 1/3 of men in New York are homosexual) can be resolved by instituting polygamy.
