From a muslim girls perspective

Submitted by muslim girl (United States), Sep 13, 2008 at 18:27

I've been coming on here for about 6 months and just reading and looking around, and its really sad to see these sad stories. I really felt compled to reply. I actually am trying to find a NON-MUSLIM to marry because I know about my culture an the men it breeds...... Ladies, it's ugly. I know a couple of you have said that "western men are just as bad"... um, no.

Look IMHO, take the bad of american men and put it on steroids and you got yourself a muslim man. They really don't respect women, they're ageist, sexist, racist and whatever other ist you can think of. I'm really in a hard spot because I really don't want a muslim man but my arab community is hell bent on making sure that "thier" women marry one of theirs or remain single for the rest of their lives. And the sad part is, muslim women simply lie down and take it. I don't, but i really fear for myslef if I do speak out, even if I live in America.
