(Original Air Date: 11/15/07) Dr. Phil continues the story of a young woman who made international headlines when she ran away to Palestine to be with a man she met on the Internet when she was just 16. Katherine was stopped by the FBI and brought back home, but two years later and now an adult, she’s left the United States again to be with Abdullah, the man she says she loves and wants to marry. Katherine’s terrified family thinks she is being brainwashed, and may never be allowed to return home. They say they’ve witnessed Abdullah’s violent temper when he’s verbally abused her over the phone. Now, in an exclusive interview via satellite, Dr. Phil speaks with Katherine and Abdullah together. Is Abdullah lying about letting Katherine return home? Is this couple already married? Talk about the show here.

Find out what happened on the show.

11/15 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2

I don't blame the guy at all.  She is not a child.  she is 18 years old.  old enough to be living on her own and making her own choices.  She made the choice to go and meet him.  no one forced her to travel half way around the world.  I am a american who lived in palestine.  The life in palestine is nothing like the life in Iran.  She can leave if he is making her stay.  No court in entire Palestine will marry them if she does not want to.  They ask the bride when she is alone if she was forced into the marriage.   If she says yes, no court will marry them.  Everyone makes it seem as  if the middle east is a horrible place.  She could have easily met a guy on myspace from anywhere in the usa and he could turn out to be a killer.  She is not a little girl she is a adult.  she should know better than to meet a guy on the internet from anywhere in the world.

Why did they need five new cars?  That was a ridiculous waste of the money.  It's their own fault and it was stupid.
I think that was Mondays show.  This is a completely differet topic.

11/15 A Daughter in Danger? Part 2

Quote From: dynasty143

I think that you need to ask your son-in-law some more questions.  Actually your son-in-law just seems to be arrogant. My husband is Muslim and he comes from a very religous family but i am catholic sure most muslim families would prefer for there children to marry there own religon but  it is not there duty to convert non-muslims they are supposed to accept all religons and at the same time teach there own.  You should really read the Quran because you are being falsified.  In fact both of my children are baptised catholic but are being raised muslim and we are letting them decide there faith god will lead the way

1.  I have read the Koran (Quran).  Any translation of the Koran is considered to be corrupted  - it is a fasinating read.  I can post a few of their scriptures, but they are very vile and hateful towards Jews and Christians.

 

2.  You have had your children baptised (Catholics), but are raising them as Muslims.  Dod you let your Preist in on that little tidbit before they were allowed to participate in the sacrement?

 

3.  You are incorrect - Muslims are commanded to convert all to Islam and if someone refuses, they have permission (and are doing Allah a service) by killing them. This is where the 70 virgins in Heaven is promised.   Also, Muslims are allowed to "lie" to everyone EXCEPT other Muslims.

Abdullah's demeanor

When Dr. Phil was asking Abdullah questions his face became very angry as if he would slap Katherine right there is he could! I found his demeanor, expressions, and responses VERY disturbing! I hope that everyone watching takes this as a warning, all of the parents with young children on Myspace or Facebook these are networking sites and your young teens do not need to be networking!!! Protect them, check on them and don't be ignorant when they feed you lies. This truly could happen to anyone and I truly believe Katherine's life is in danger. There is something not quite right about Abdullah and his family, regardless of culture or race. Abdullah exhibits many warning signs of an abuser; he got her to a secluded area where she knows no one and is forced to depend on him. Someone save Katherine, whether it is Dr. Phil, her family or someone else!!!!!

Well said

Quote From: dynasty143

I am married to a muslim man his mother and father had a arranged marriage and his mother is from Palestine.  My husband is not a woman beater in fact he is a very good husband and a good father.  He has never hit me or called me out of my name.  In fact i wear the pants in this relationship i control the money and what i say goes.  This criticism about muslim men is ridiculous!  My father-in-law has to be the greatest  person with the biggest heart.  My brother-in-laws are all very nice to.  Believe me my brother fought in Iraq and i to did believe all of this nonsense about middleastern people but it was my stupidity to how muslim people really are a lot of them are very warm hearted and well mannered people.  I encourage people to learn more about these people instead of creating a bigger war then there already is!

I completely agree and why are we assuming that this young man is a representative of Islam? The only thing I noticed that was Islamic about him was his name...period. No Muslim man would be proud to bring a girl into his parent's home wearing a band aid for a skirt!

To me this story reflected a dangerous lack of parenting on the boys side. This boy was not raised to respect women period. In Islam "Paradise (Heaven) lies at the foot of your Mother" That is a testament to how any woman should be treated! I'll pray for her safe return.

What was this message

Quote From: michelebr

Most 18 year olds don't understand what it means to love someone and surely her parents warned her that women have no rights in the Middle East.  It's too bad she is going through this and maybe this experience will help her prevent a worse situation in the future.  I am sorry for the pain and suffering her parents are experiencing.

Why is this blacked out, I'd like to see what this message was.

Where is Her Father?

Has anyone noted that there is no father or father figure on the show?  That leads me to believe that she is seeking the attention of a man, since there may not be one in her life.  When, and if she returns, Dr. Phil should work to get the bottom of why she left.  If he does not help to discover why, he may have wasted money on her return ticket.  I hope that she wakes up to reality and sees that Adullah is lying to everyone including her.  My prayers are with her and her family.

Quote From: savednow

The previews today stated the third show would be on tomorrow (Friday (11/15), in our area.  I assume it is the same for everyone.  Don't they have a scheule of future shows somewhere here at Dr. Phil's site???
In the previews for the third show she admits to abuse by him.
