Firstly,

I am a turkish Girl!!!! I was born in turkey, but live in the UK. I know the culture very well as I live it. I was brought up by the culture. But i was also brought up with the western culture too. I like both cultures in a way that I find good and bad things in both.

I do not judge any race or religion. Because religion is a personal matter and whoever worships Allah or 'God' does this for themselves and no one else. I am disgusted by how people seem to think one is more right than the other as its never based on solid proof.

Who sets the norms and values of societies??? people themselves. Then how can we say one culture or norm is better than the other? our norms and values are built by our own upbringing or values attained from our experiences. How can we judge others by this.

You know your reply was laughable. I know more about Turkish men because I am from turkey. Yes there is a stereotypical view of them that has been created by revolting turkish men who have been pigs. BUT not all are like this. Even the pigs that are like this that are womanisers cant be the only one to blaim,... surely there are women out there who allow them to be this way?

Yes I am judgemental with my own beliefs... isnt everyone... But I can say that I think more about my judgements and why people may be like this than the majority !!!

Why be so against muslims if your husband is morrocan? you are hypocritical

I am proud to say i am a MUSLIM! elhamdullilallah I am a muslim
