Julie: Once you convert to your favourite religion islam, you will have the following fringe benefits:
-your husband is allowed to whip you if you did not obey his commands
-your husband is allowed to beat you up if you refuse him intimacy even if you are very sick.
-You will be killed if you even criticize islam or Mohammed (ask Salman Rushdie)
-you will be killed if you try to leave islam (ask Ayan Hirsi Ali)
-You will be stoned to death if you get raped and cannot produce four witnesses. (ask thousands of women in Pakistani and irani prisons)
-You will have to share your husband with three other wives and as many concubines as he wishes (ask women in sharia countries).
-You will be required to engulf yoursef in a black shroud called burqa if you wanted to follow true islam (ask Saudi and Afghani women)
-You will be required to wake up at 4AM daily for morning prayers . Your husband can beat you up if you refuse to wake up
-You can be circumcised if your husband demands it to take away your temptation to cheat on him.
