Reply To Dhimmi- Your right

Your right Dhimmi...I didn't say why they didn't want to go back to what you refer to as "Pakiland".
Well the #1 reason could be because most of them weren't from Pakistan. Those who were had fine jobs here or their husbands had fine jobs here. The latter really loved their husbands and didn't want to get divorced to leave them in order to live in what you seem to regard as a paradise for Muslims. Last I checked it kinda sucked there right now even by Pakistani standards of suckiness.

The rest either were here because their husbands were working or studying here or because they themselves came here to work or study at universities. A few were going (or have gone) back to their homelands while the rest, despite honest criticisms, overall loved America and its freedoms that allow them to worship without some wahhabi or regime telling them how to worship.

The others, as I mentioned were converts.

Salam,

Chris G.
