My turkish husband falls into the group you mention - educated but family very fundamentalist and anti-western. originally from southeast part of Turkey which is known for fanaticism and violence against women. No job and no prospects. Low morals and fake muslim.

I don't hate all muslims or middle eastern people now but i sure wouldn't ever trust any of them, or anyone from anywhere else now for that matter. I dislike most people now and stay away from them. I see a woman wearing a headscarf and wonder if she'd marry someone else's husband illegally. Basically i want nothing to do with people anymore. I was very open and too trusting and sweet before but i've seen too much and learned i can be someone i never thought i was and do things i never would have done before in the name of justice. I have lost who i was because of this pig.
