And a St. Louis Sports Radio Host took him out on the town.
And here is the money quote from the story:
If you want to know how someone used to Iraqi women—some of whom have their faces and bodies hidden by burkas—reacted to his first trip to Sauget, feel free to read on…
Courtesy of the fine people at the Penthouse Club, we were able to have access to the VIP room for a large group of us…in honor of Hatem.
But, when we got there, Hatem was in the main room…enjoying the sights and sounds.

Nice to see he is tolerant.
“I don’t know if footballers are against gays in the team, I certainly am,” he stated.
“I can quietly confirm that, in the clubs where I have been, I have never had them, never.
“I would never have wanted a homosexual player. Even today I wouldn’t buy one. Supposing I were to make a mistake and I found one of them, he would be the first to go.
“I am a little old-fashioned. But I know the football world and its insides. You cannot live within it as a gay. A homosexual cannot be a footballer.
“In calcio there are no homosexuals, neither between players nor among directors. It’s not racism, its fact. Football has a particular environment; you get naked in the dressing room.
Sounds like SOMEBODY has some issues to work out.

Meaning, a rare Somali Ass was born at the Zoo.
The Somali wild ass is critically endangered, with less than 1,000 left in northeastern Africa. There are currently 27 Somali wild asses in North America, with seven at the St. Louis Zoo.
With only one other zoo in the country breeding this species, this little foal is certainly an important addition.

Try this guy’s defense.
The bathroom inside the Daytona Beach Sears store was a place where men routinely engaged in sexual activity, police said, but in court Wednesday Shallow said he was just there to buy a TV. The one-time city leader was adamant he is innocent of any crime.
“And I told them that did not happen. And they said, ‘Well, the two officers observed you {cleaning your prostate-ed.},’ and I said, ‘That’s completely untrue. No, two officers did not,’” Shallow said Wednesday.
Police were the ones who initially made contact with Shallow while he was inside a bathroom stall.
“A foot came underneath the partition, maybe this far on my side of the partition, with the foot pounding on the floor,” Shallow said.
Then officers started peering through the cracks of the door. Shallow said they were soliciting him, but he never responded.
“No, I was creeped out. I just withdrew and I sat down on the toilet, kinda hunched down and waited for him to go away,” Shallow said.
He said he was too startled to act and eventually found a way to pass the time until he felt safe to leave.
“I took out my PDA and started playing a game on my PDA,” he said.
My note: I edited a phrase in here to keep it Safe For Work.
