Topic : 06/17 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2

Now you want to get into the slaves thing. Oh Brother give me a brake. Black people often like to go back to the My relatives were slaves.

Yeah well I guess you didn't know that the Muslims started the slave trade and that Africans sold their own people into slavery.

You really made me laugh with this post thanks a lot.

I live in south just so you know. Down here there are just about as many black people as there are white. It really seems like there are more black racist than there are white. My family has experienced it,

Um, no.

I am white (scottish) married to a man who was born and raised in Yemen. He has never once called me anything either than my name or our nicknames for eachother. I know many, many, women who are married to Muslim men who are either a convert like me or are still Christian or Jewish - I can only think of one bad scenario and it is because the guy is out drinking, partying, etc and still calls his girlfriend bad names because she did that stuff before they even met. He calls her that stuff not because he is Muslim and 'most' of the Muslim men are programmed that way - no. It is because he is a jerk - plain and simple.

If you think for one second that all middle eastern and/or Muslim women have lead lives that are so virtuous and pure from day 1 - think again. Sadly, there is a growing culture in the middle east where even while the woman is veiled head to toe, she is using her bluetooth to pick up guys and vice versa. Every man and woman, regardless of race or religion, will be tempted to go off a path of virtue. Some take it, some don't. What people also don't realize is that there is a HUGE difference between a practising Muslim and one who was just 'born' Muslim and doesn't follow any of the teachings. Non-practising Muslims are usually the type you meet at the bar, through their girlfriend or boyfriend, in house parties, etc.

If you get your advice from one of the 'Muslims' mentioned above, trust me, you aren't getting correct information....

Being Islam/muslim isn't a race, its a religion so you cant really be racist. Its like trying to say Christians is a race, its not.

And thank you for your post its very truthful and correct.

Oooh here you go again.  Just can't help yourself!  Yet another generalization about another race.  Well, for your info  I was born in South America, raised in England and now live in the US .... so where exactly would you like me to go back to???

Really sorry I posted anyting on this message board.  It is clear this is just about being right  and not trying to understand where other's may becoming from.  Can't argue with ignorance!

I have no idea what the whole South thing is about .... I was commenting on your suggestion that if people didn't think like you they should go back to where they come from. 

ENOUGH -

Ok sorry I did not mean to generalize all black people. How about saying some of them. There that is better. Oh and I am not racist against black people I have quite a few black friends.

If you did read my messages then you would know that I was saying that if you do not like it here then you can leave. the person who I was talking to was going on about how bad America is. If you hate here that much then you can go somewhere else.

I was not saying if you are not from here go back to where you came from. Or that if you do not like me then leave. You really should quit twisting my words around. Do you even bother to read whole messages before you start typing?

I'm tired of hearing how ignorant and uneducated americans are on the subject of islam.

People in the muslim community have said that the sale of korans in the U.S. rose 67% after nine eleven.. If that figure is true then 1.3 out of 3 americans either bought a koran or rented one from  the library.

It's weird when I hear people say we're ignorant or uneducated considering those figural parameters.

Most americans didn't know anything about islam before nine eleven.

I say that's a hell of an education to get.

FORGIVE US FOR BEING OVERLY SENSITIVE.

And yet, what do the american people do anyway?

They go out and buy korans.

Please people, don't let anyone ever make you feel guilty for being american and for trying to understand the enemy..
