my sympathies are with you. hope you dont face similar situations as before. however i wanna add that your 2 christian husbands did not beat you because of christianity. these muslim women on whom the article is are facing hardships because their men are muslims. i hope you can appreicate the difference. the same way there would be bad ppl in Buddhism too, but their source of violence towards women would not come out of their religion unlike here. thats all i wanted to say.

i expect people here would take the article seriously. as the consequences of bad decisions can cost one's life. pardon me for using the word blabbering. it seems it has become a norm everywhere to apply the logic that since bad men exist in america too, so whats new. the only difference is the pt i mentioned above. it is obivously a serious issue that is why the govt had to issue this memo. and regarding comparing conditions of women in america, its not even comparable to middle east countries. you may do your research. after 9/11 it has also become fashionable to club the idea of questioning or being wary of islam as racist. like all fashionable ideas, it is naive too. but again eventually ppl can decide for themselves. i am just trying to make more information available.
