Regarding Nora's Response to Shadae

1) Nora, if you are going to come on here and defend a relationship, that is not a good sign. The louder and more the shrill and often the defense, the worse things are for the poster.

2) No, you will not see Muslims on-line defending Western culture. With one exception, the only time I have seen it is when they defend the IRA.

If you doubt this, read the other blog comments on this site. Here are posts I have encountered from Muslims:

--In two generations, we will rule the EU. [[from a Palestinian poster on Yahoo!]]

--we will marry Western women while the whole time remaining loyal to jihad. We will say that jihad really means inner struggle. We know that ABC, CBS, NBC, BBC, CNBC, CNN will all say Jews killed Muslim child....jihad! Must suck for you (in the West). [[paraphrase from jihadwatch, could not be confirmed if a scam or not]]

The only time I have seen a Muslim defend Western culture was on topix:

--Saudi Arabia bans the Bible, what's up with that?

If you can consider Christianity to be "Western", it actually originated in the Middle East. In fact, many of the lands that are now Islamic were once Christian.
