hmmmm, interesting thread. A Filipino buddy of mine that had an uncle who worked as a temporary contract laborer in Saudi Arabia. His uncle says there's a rumon in Saudi Arabia that vanloads of horny young Arab men would abduct Filipino and other temporary workers and butt rape them. Supposedly this is due to the fact that premarital sex between Arabs is illegal under Sharia [sic?] --Islamic religious law--which left horny young dudes with no alternative. According to his uncle, due to their temporary laborer status, overseas workers often don't get the justic they need. Is this an urban legend or is it true?
I would give this urban legend status until corroborated. Another "urban legend" going around the international press is the supposed epidemic of "child rape" in South Africa. Supposedly, locals believe that having sex with a very young child or a very old woman will make one immune to HIV. There hasn't been any government confirmation of this problem but enough online and press anecdotes to warrant an "urban legend" classification.
