"As an example, I recollect having a small group of muslims coming up to some friends of mine at a popular bar in Nice asking us for our help. They were asking us to help them meet women and bring any women we wanted to the villa that they claimed they had on the coast. They further continued to say that they had ways to make women party the way they wanted and offered us a reward for this ! After they finished stubbling with their english explaining what they wanted our group basically frightened them away and a couple of us went to the management of the bar but they had left before they could be thrown out. White slavery and forced marriages are a horrible fact and it seems that this may be one of the access points to this . If you spend anytime in any large city in Europe, you will see how many muslims marry locals and many of these locals are either poor, very young or not very attractive but a ticket to obtaining legal documents."


Forced marriages= forbidden in Islam. Hanging out in bars=forbidden in Islam. They way those men acted= forbidden in Islam. Those men= Non Muslim. Many women get beaten, raped and killed, its not only something that 'Muslim' men do. Lets not forget that it was the Islam that stopped the oppression of women in pre-islamic Alrabia (did you know that females would be buried alive in those days untill the Muslims stopped that?), ended oppression of the slaves. It is not only the Muslims who marry women for the reasons you have mentioned, I will not name any ethnic group or religion in particular because I understand that people are individuals and what they do should not be taken out on anybody else.
