my observations

Submitted by Chris (Australia), Apr 10, 2014 at 01:35

I am a single western woman, and I have experienced being treated with great respect (remembering I am living in a "primarily christian country" ). Ive found christians are very off -handed with their women. Here in Australia Ive noticed a huge number of female converts to islam - interestingly much more than males converts, with just a trickle going the other way. I note that women who have converted (both married and single) seem genuinely happier than christian women. By the way I am not a convert, just my observations. I spoke with a muslim girl and asked if she thought they were happier. She said no - but thought they were more content and relaxed. :0
