Many commenter's who leave their family name Al Yami and other tribalist from their area go around to demand that the paper should add a note that she is not from "the famous Sons of Yam" tribe, she is from somewhere else because she doesnt wear a hijab that covers her face and some people who moved in from other areas adapted the name of Yam to themselves... they are so deep in denial that its like somebody suddenly spilled water in their face. The whole issue with the sex bragger case is a critical example of the Saudi society state of constant denial.. You should see the sorry state of the comments on Al Watan article for this.
