To Vasi: Alivis ARE muslims

Sorry to break it to you, but alivis ARE muslims. They are a sect of islam like shi'ite, sunni and sufi. Granted, other muslims don't consider them muslims and here in Turkey the majority sunnis slaughtered the alivis but they are muslims. Just ask him who is prophet is.

Turkish, Egytian, Tunisian, Chechnian, Malaysian, Pakistani...et al ad nausuam all behave and think in the same way. I've had the same toe-to-toes with muslim males from Turkey who spewed almost word for word the same hatred and rubbish that came from the mouths of suadi males all the way back in 1986. It's NOT a cultural thing that makes having any relationship with these men dangerous for non-muslims. It's a religion thing. islam infects any culture that adopts it. Turkey would be a great country if it wasnt infected with islam. Your BF's jealousy is the same as all the other sunni muslims here in Turkey.

It's the same as the jealousy of, as any idiot woman who has had, a(n) (insert any islamic nationality here even American) BF/husband can tell you. Yes, there are a few exceptions but exceptions do not break the rule and it sounds like the one you're with is not an exception. If you want a lifetime of this BS go for it, but please, no one wants to hear your whining when you've had enough.
