Replies to '06/17 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2'

It doesn't take a board certified psychologist to see she is in danger. If things were perfectly fine then why does he have to monitor every phone call she makes? Why is he so rude and disrespectful to her family? Come on now and put two and two together. You don't have to know this couple to see that something doesn't add up. There many be many of Christians living well in the middle east, but why are they there? Do they long to live in that country, or are they working there? I cannot imagine that someone with a sound mind would WANT to live there.Also, comparing Egypt to Palestine is like comparing a prison to a five star hotel.

I think you are naive, or dumb to thnk this poster is bigotted. She is absolutely correct. I live with my daughter here in the states who is married to a man from Palestine (Jordan) at first he said this man family will let her go home if she wants to, but when I told him don't stick up you them because they come from where you come from, be honest, this family may not be like your family, when he heard she was in the Gaza Strip my son-in-law said oh she's gone. I am watching the second part right now, Katherine is saying what she is saying ecause she was told what to say before hand, meaning she was told if they say this you say this......it is naive to thnk she is speaking freely. Whatever Abdullah tells her she beleives, he most likely told her that whatever you say in privite I will know, somone I know is taping this so if  you say anything wrong I will find out and you wil never go home, it s a threat to Katherine. 

Also my son-in-law sad it is true that when a muslim man marries a Christian women it is his duty to convert her to musim, the reason men are allowed to marry Christians are for that purpose, muslim women are not allowed to to marry a Christian man, they are not strong enough to convert their husbands.

Now I hear that Katherine's family did have her watch "not without my daughter" and it made no impact on her, her reply was childish and very Naive "that is a different area" coming from a young girl that just admitted that she knows nothing of their country or culture, she didn't study it inschool. Now I just watched the previews for tomorrows show and Katherine admitts Abdullah has been abusive towards her, now that Dr. Phil got her home (Praise GOD) the truth comes out.

 

Christian oppression is irrelevant!  There are millions of Christians living extremely well in the M.E.!

 

It doesn't matter how MANY Christians are there - that does not translate into them living well.  Exactly where do you get you info?  What happened to all those Christian during the last summer in Lebanon when the conflict (also called warfare)  was going on?  I think you are the one that is a bigot.

 

Also, I am confused on where this girl is.  Jericho is located in the West Bank.  Gaza is on the the Mediterran Ocean.  Dr. Phil stated she was in both places - or is he doing this to try and provide additional protection?  Or --- do I not know the georgraphy of Israel?

Why has this turned into a religious and nationality thing?  I am so tired of hearing bigotted people, as if it were okay.  As if today is okay to hate Arabs and muslims because of 9-11.  Well that is RIDICULOUS!!  We do not know Abdullah and I am truly questioning what is happening today.  I was left with too many questions, how could he brainwash her when she has only been there for 2 weeks, why did mom say he was rude and mean - as if it was when Katherine was there - but it was when he called and kept Katherine away, why do I feel it is the family who is brainwashing this girl, why are we focused on him kidnapping her when she is the one who left, why is everyone so mistrusting as if he only wants a greencard - but then say he will never let her back.... what, what, what? there were too many contradictions!  Maybe he is a bad guy and did bad things - HOWEVER ARABS ARE NOT BAD PEOPLE IN GENERAL.... I am tired of people thinking it is okay to hate because of some horrible people.... My children are 1/2 arab and my husband is the most wonderful and gentle person I have ever met.... Why should my children be treated badly? What have they done?  My family doesn't deserve to be treated badly - we did nothing wrong.... so stop generalizing all arabs! 

 

          who knows... Abdullah appears to me to love her and would call over and over again, because he loves and wants to marry her.  How can mom say she is scared Katherine won't ever return and then say he only wants her for a green card.... does that make sense to anyone?

 

         Americans need to STOP HATING.... LEARN TO LOVE PEOPLE.... you would be surprise how it comes back....
