Arab Internet Users Catch Up With the World of Cyber Porn
Things tend to get hot in the Arab world. There's the weather of
course, and the political situation periodically steams up the 
discourse on the streets. But now the heat seems to have spilled into
the annals of Arab cyberworld.

At an Internet summit in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) earlier
this week, temperatures rose when a Jordanian-based new 
media professional told a panel of experts that 80 percent of
Internet traffic in the Arab world heads for sex sites.

At the International Summit on Internet and Multimedia in Abu Dhabi,
U.A.E., Ramzi El Khoury, a journalist and founder of an 
Arabic-language Internet portal, suggested that strict controls
within the Arab world only serves to make porn sites an even more 
compelling destination for Arab users.
