In Carthage, she angered them when she said that her daughter could not pronounce the name Tunisia and called her (parsley)… And in Kuwait, she angered women when she demanded that they be absolutely submissive to men…and in Bahrain angered the Egyptians when it said that anyone who drinks Nile water should not return to Egypt because he will contract schistosomiasis.”
