Another "random Muslim somewhere in the world does something" (a schoolboy fight!) and "I've never been to a Muslim country, but I know all about Islam" thread.
All religions are subject to twisting by the feminine imperative. Islam has elements of female subjugation and pedestalization, but all in all it is interpreted by its followers to put the man in charge. For example, you need at least two female witnesses to equal one man's, and women aren't accepted as credible at all by some Muslims.
Arab tribal culture is very patriarchal. I've visited sheikhs in their homes and tent pavilions in the desert and there is no doubt who is in charge - them and other men. Real sheikhs are apex alphas: they have the power, the style and the serenity of a lion leading a pride.
