Maybe I'm overly sensitive, but the tone in an article published by the Los Angeles Times bothers me. It's about Cairo-based, Muslim sex therapist Heba Kotb. She has become quite a celebrity since she began her late-night show on Egyptian television. I suppose it's groundbreaking and a positive thing. What bothers me though is that the Times completely disregard the fact the Ms Kotb is an outspoken homophobe. A few weeks ago, I listened to an interview with Kotb on a Swedish radio programme about religion, and it wasn't pleasant. Her opinions are not as liberal as suggested in the Times article.
