You are not better.

What you said is disgraceful and shameful! No one has the right to exploit anyone else, even if they are misquided by "Muslim standards"! A real man takes care of his woman without her having to watch her back. It is his responsibility and it is not the fault of Western women to not know this. You are not better than any other woman just because YOU are Muslim! I've seen some great Muslim wives and I seen some really terrible women! I've seen Amazing Western wives and I've seen terrible ones. I've seen so many Muslim men working 2-3 jobs to keep up with their wife's need to appear wealthier than she is. I know plenty of Muslim marry for money and in bankruptcy. I know Muslim wives that falsely accused their husband of abuse, ruining their husband's life. I've seen Muslim women hit their husband's and treat them badly. At the same time I've seen Western women convert and become more religious than Muslim sisters. Being born into a religion doesn't mean you have a clean heart. I've seen too many Muslims falsely stereotype Western women, when they have their own sins.
