To Muslim Girl - reality and labels

I'm glad that you got that off your chest. The reality is that western women are independent, have voices that can be heard and have choices. You as a Muslim woman have limited choices in your life as you are controlled by the males in your family, you have no voice that can be heard outside of your family and you are dependent on the males in your family.

As for your description of the Arab males that you are surrounded by - they are exactly the type that are causing all the problems on this blog and if your choice is to associate with that type of person (there is good and bad in every culture) then that says a lot for the choices that you can have.

As for labelling western women "whores" I have seen some shocking video evidence of "whores" in middle eastern society which is available on cable television all over the middle east. People who live in glass houses ....!
