Putting your Life on the Line article--my reaction

Thanks SO MUCH for sharing that!

I had to comment about the article, and that is that THREE Western women are DEAD.

I can think of two people dying from this in Latin America. One was an American man who went to Brazil to meet a woman he met on the internet. He was found murdered. The most notorious case is probably that of Natalee Holloway, but that was just a fling gone bad. That wasn't even an internet meeting, and now we may never know what happened to her because of the ineffiency of the investigation. But again, these nations DON'T have the resources for such things.

I'm not surprised at all that one of them mentioned happened in Jamaica. Ladies, you must understand that doing this Latin America puts you at great risk. While this board focuses mostly on Arab men, going to a place like Latin America is more dangerous than it may seem. Western tourists are sometimes kidnapped by drug cartels.

What the article DOESN'T mention, oddly enough, is DATE RAPE. Sometimes, Moroccan men will try and slip one into your drink.

Now, for this board, I would say that it doesn't really surprise me at all that these "Mohammeds" have 41 girlfriends and sleep with hundreds of women. The biggest risk you run is contracting an STD. The 54 yo woman just got freak lucky. Why? Well, because there are such severe punishments for sex outside of marriage in many Islamic nations, Aids rates there are the lowest in the world.

If this keeps up, I would expect that to change.

But, the article talked about countries like Gambia and Kenya, and disease there is extremely prevalent. You're probably more likely to die of disease than getting mugged, it seems, but that's the risk you run with premartial sex.
