Why does she think that? Where is Isis right? I've been talking about

that for some now, and there are numerous possibilities. Isis is one of the few women who come on here and just started offering advice without asking for any. I think that's mostly her beef with me, because I questioned her relationship when she didn't necessarily come on here for advice. That's what it seems to boil down to.

I wouldn't blame her if she's not 100% sure about her relationship, in fact, I would be concerned if she didn't despite the fact that she met him before in the UK.

It's amazing what you can find out when your look at the hard truth.

As far as I can tell, this whole thing against Yasemin and Loren is new. I just don't see either of them playing the victim, I mean, have you heard them say "poor me, poor me, pity me?"

I think that Isis is upset and frustrated with this blog, which is understandable to a certain extent, but the thing is, SLS, the women on here who are looking to defend their relationship without looking at the other side, come on here intentionally and they know what to expect or they don't read what Dr. Pipes has written about.

It's a complete waste of time. For one thing, I often wonder if their men go onto Arabic or Muslim boards and defend the British culture or the South African culture or Christianity. I doubt it.

Also, if their relationships are so great, like you said, why aren't they thinking about their man or spending time with him?

No one I know in real life goes on the internet and defends ANY type of relationship! It's absurd!

Isis is right in the sense that I don't need her man's skin color, height, weight, or favorite ice cream flavor, but her mere presence on her e says quite a lot to me as an experienced blogger.

Like I keep saying, none of these arguments are new, SLS. You can find similar ideas from topix to Y! answers. The fact that these men are Berber or Muslim means next to nothing. Liars, scammers and men who deceive and manipulate women all use the same basic techniques. I think that a lot of women just want to think what they have is unique and different and the exception.

After all, I've been there before myself.
