Dear Stella,

I'm sorry that you have been offended by my mentioning that I am a Moroccan woman. But let me tell you that what i advised in my previous remarks were in NO way meant to offend western women, as I have lived in the USA most of my life. I was simply giving my persepctive having been back and forth from the united states and Morocco since i was young. Your words came off extremely Hostile to me. This forum is for all perpectives, and for you to claim that I am hiding behind my religion shows your profound ignorance towards people of Morocco!!! This illusion you have that I am implying I have some kind of superiority towards western women is just that, YOUR ILLUSION! Your ritcheous attitude is only an attempt to intimidate, and your ignorance gives me a soar in my heart.. You have seriously misunderstood my intentions. Now let me be offensive for a moment... If you think I'm some kind of Monkey (pardon the offense to monkeys) to see western women or any women as lower in integrity, or that i am a dumb and blind follower of whatever religion, then mercy mercy mercy... also you might want to fix something about your persepctive.. and that is that you mentioned a few times this idea of "us and you" "your people" "your country" "your religion"........ you've set up a DEVISIVE trap for yourself.. people who see the world as "us and them" im sorry to say are pretty handi capped in their ability to reason with others.. your looking for problems in everything i say, the seeds in your mind are negative and thus the earth of your mind does not take to seeing the positive aspect of what I was trying to say, rather you fiendishly desire to see the negative. ok have a great day bye. ght that there is a HIGH percentage of moroccan women having the affairs that you described, and that is the case in all countries.
