To S (Women are not Slaves)

S,

I just read your post and was kind of disappointed... Its your right not to have respect to religion "I am Egyptian and a Muslim"

But from your post there are so many points that show that you havent even been to middle east even for a short visit!!!

We don not marry for the sake of having women... nor are women treated as slaves. Please do not judge things that you havent seen with your OWN eyes... Go to Egypt, Lebanon, Kuwait, Syria, Jordan, Tunisia, UAE etc and ASK the women if they are treated as slaves or not... They go out on their own have their nice respectful lives and are very respected.

I can go on and talk about things I dont like whether its in the west or the east or the middle east... but who am i to talk about how women are treated in Japan while I have never been there... I can also comment about the West and how there are things that I might not like but no... I understant that there is a reason behond this and that... I will never judge you because in the end we are all humans...

So dont say women are treated as slaves nor are married for the sake of children, humans have feelings everywhere and infact I can assure you that in the Middle East there is big respect for one another especially love...

Its not my problem that women in the west fall for those who seek legit papers and play games on them...

Go Meet a Decent Man or Woman from the Middle East and you will see who we really are... (And no we are not a few we are MANY) its just that online chat and women who fall for these scams should be aware of it and be able to avoid it...

I am not being harsh nor pointing fingures at you S I am just making it clear that you shoudlnt say something you didnt see with your own eyes...

Very disappointed from the fact that some people here generalize what they have experienced...

And if you read my post to Mary you will see that I have also told her to leave him because he is simply abusing her...
