Kuwait: Sheikha Fariha unhappy at newspaper attacks

KUWAIT: Sheikha Fariha Al-Ahmad Al-Sabah, the head of the Supreme Committee for the Ideal Mother Competition, has expressed her disappointment at media attacks on her by some writers opposed to the Parliamentary Committee for Studying Negative Phenomena (also known as the 'Alien Phenomena' committee).

This followed attacks on her work in the media after the committee invited her to contribute to its efforts, given her long experience in working with cases of sexual and social deviancy, including gay people and Satanists.

Sheikha Fariha said that the writers who had launched these attacks were either unfamiliar with the phenomena in question or were consciously attempting to destroy the morality, values and wellbeing of young people in Kuwaiti society. She also claimed that many local websites and other sources in neighboring states hold negative views about Kuwait due to the prevalence of such phenomena here.

Moreover, she claimed, university lecturers in some neighboring states have started citing examples from Kuwait when addressing the subject of deviancy.
Sheikha Fariha insisted that it is deviancy alone which causes the phenomenon of homosexuality and that this phenomenon can be successfully treated, with many sufferers coming forward for treatment, knowing that their behavior is abnormal and morally repugnant.

She said that one local female journalist had written an article about homosexuality which took up a whole page of a local newspaper and suggested that homosexuality is widespread in schools and shopping centers. She added that, following publication of the article, a number of outraged readers had warned the newspaper not to publish any further articles about homosexuality.
