11/15 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2

Quote From: gwenrod

Abdellah says that if they have children, the children can decide what religion they want to be when they grow up. That is a lie. According to the Islamic religion, the children belong to the father. The mother is merely the incubator. Therefore they are automatically muslim. They will be given muslim names, raised in the muslim religion, and should they want to change later on in life, they run the risk of being severly beaten and even killed.  Secondly, once she gets married, she will need written consent from her husband to be able to travel. She is bound by national law, and the national law is Islamic Law. The fact that she carries an American passport means nothing. I was married in Egypt and those were the laws of the land. This poor young lady thinks that she is on some romantic adventure. She doesnt realize the dangerous waters that she is in. Lastly, should she have any children with this man, and he by some remote chance gives her permission to travel, 99.99% probability, she will be forced to leave her children behind. I hope she wakes up before it's too late. My prayers are with her mother, and my heart goes out to her. I am a mother too, and when I lost my husband, I almost lost custody of my child too. I had to go to court against his family and file for sole custody of MY child.

 

 

YEP!!!!!

Are you actually saying that in Egypt you cannot leave without your husband's permission even if you have a U.S. passport? Because that isn't true actually, if you hold a European or American passport you are allowed to leave. She's in Palestine, not Saudi Arabia or Iran. There are U.S. embassies in both Israel and Jordan that she could have access to. Also women in Islam are not just "incubators." Women are most important in Islam when it comes to children, she is who will be around them more and will teach them more. Just because you had a bad experience doesn't make that the norm.

 After watching the show this morning, my heart really went out to Katherine's mother and to Katherine herself. At eighteen we think we know it all.

I have a question though, to anyone who can answer this. At the end of the show, there was a preview of the conclusion to this story. Katherine was on the Dr. Phil show with her family and was crying, telling of Abdellah beating her with a belt, hitting her, etc. and Abdellah was on satellite. So, I look on the website to see more previews of the conclusion, thinking it will be on tomorrow. But, tomorrows show is going to be about anorexia. What happened with the conclusion show to this story? I so wanted to see what eventually happened.
