Countering Isis Once Again

Wrong - wrong - wrong Luigi. The matriach is just that and she controls the whole family from a backseat position. Nothing happens in the family without the mother's approval. Most importantly this directly relates to marriage of any of her children.

Not ALL Muslim families work like that. In the more conservative Muslim families, women have no to little power.

Wrong - wrong - wrong again Luigi. The famly nucleus is the ethos of Islam and the family is far more powerful than any one member of that family.

Sorry, Isis, but if you really have been to Morocco you would know full well not everyone follows the strict family code and rules under Islam. Some folks, such as my friends, are not too keen on traditional Islam.

You told me in an earlier post that there are grey areas. Well, Isis, not every Muslim family follows the Koran and Hadith verse by verse.

You need to stop generalizing on here, Isis. Take things on a case-by-case basis.
