I don't read all the comments on this site try try to view the posts from persons who can contibute intelligently and post from experience.

I fail to see why some contributors feel that their posts are more valuable than others ....

Who, exactly, feels that way?

and this seems to come from those who have no experience with a Muslim partner let alone any partner.

Sorry, Isis, but Muslim men are not exempt from the behavioral patterns of on-line or international dating. Your marriage to one does not change that.

99.9% of the time, the fact that the people on here discussed happen to be 1) men and b) Muslims is irrelevant.

Only people who lack facts and logic need to parley on the basis of religion and gender.

It is also interesting that the current Modus Operandi on this site is to disguise their nom de plum with a comment. I consider this quite cowardly.

Many of the women who come onto this site for advice and help need to gather as much information as they can to make informed decisions and sometimes this just does not happen because bias, ignorance and anger taints the responses. This situation is quite sad as these women need genuine help and not fanciful ideas and suggestions from those who consider themselves ad hoc counsellors. Inflated egos can be hard to deal with sometimes and I am over it.

I agree that angry statements like "all muslim men are bad" or "I'm staying away from Muslims" are ignorant, but once again, you've come on here to tell us that you do not read all the comments and yet know the Modius Operandi of the entire site and who (again, without specific examples) thinks they are a counselor.

In four years of comments on here, I've never seen anyone claim to be a counselor.

How is anyone supposed to take you seriously when you come on here, admit you cherry-pick what you read, and then make these broad generalizations about posters?
