Quote From: nanaat43I 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.
Okay, so I'm one of the few on here who's actually lived in the Middle East and is Muslim but you're calling me naive?!!! LMAO So you're the expert on the Middle East now, I guess people from the Middle East have no clue how the Middle East is... the logic is just so questionable.
Most women in the Middle East are treated with respect as I have been. Just because you have watched a movie where a woman was abused (which that happens in every place on earth occasionally) doesn't make it the norm.
What you're saying is false. A Muslim man is allowed to marry a Christian or Jewish women (though most marry Muslim women because it makes it easier on the children) they may keep their religion because in the Quran both Jews and Christians are considered to be people of the book and to be respected. I really am quite ammused that you are trying to teach me about my own religion....
