Of course there are good muslims...

I agree there are good muslims- but simply I dont think they surf the internet chatting with women late at night. They have a good night sleep to be fresh for work next day.

A lot of muslims drink alcohol, have sex, eat port, dont go to mosque, especially when they are young. But when they get older, they tend to think more about afterlife, Allah and the faith- they feel the urge to repent for their sins ...sometimes a pilgrimage to Mecca is enough to change a drinking liberal muslim to extremist.

Divorce is permissible in islam and is extremly easy for man who just need to say "talaq, talaq,talaq" and a marriage is over.

The marriage in islam is not based on love- but is a kind of legal contract. The woman gets a mahr- dowry and man is obliged to provide food and clothing for her- but only if she is obedient.

Usually on islamic marriage ceremony- male relative of the bride must be present- and sometimes women unknowingly sings not only the contract but also the shahada- the muslim declaration of faith...

In muslim countries women often wear hijab not to be molested on the streets- but it not always work- it is a huge problem in Egypt- that even covered women are molested, more- even at holy cities Mecca and Medina women are molested- one of the reason is that poor man cannot afford to marry so they are really frustrated...

I heard that in Morocco women in buses often have men ejaculate on their clothes...Maybe not in the big cities but still...

wish you all the best
