“Ms. Londono says some women turn to Islam because they reject Western values. They believe success in the West is measured by careers, education or wealth.”

Perhaps she could move to the middle east then to get a full dose of THEIR values.

That’s if she lives through it.

Islam for Women.

Come for the stifling burquas, stay for the genital mutilation.

I have spent a lot of time working closely with both Mexican and Puerto Rican women.

I see four deal breakers here (for starters) -

First - No alcohol.

Second - No pork.

Third - No dancing.

Fourth - (How to put this delicately?) Has anyone told them about the “circumcisions” yet?

Some people simply treat religion as a superstition.

Sheep, breeding sheep.

If she was scared, why did the family come here in the first place?

It is heartbreaking that these women would turn their backs on the Savior to worship a pedophile. How do they ignore that? Or perhaps it’s what their converted husbands are forcing them to do?

Why is a government controlled news outlet,VOA,the source for this lopsided phew poll story ? One thing for sure through Francis the Catholics have done a terrible job of assailing its theology.

Focusing on any one segment will automatically make that segment appear larger, by skewed perspective, than it really is.

You made a good point. One the Left proficiently exploits.

http://www.muslimpopulation.com/America/ uses figures from Wikipedia so it's a plus or minus mystery. But the population of Muslims in the U.S. is listed at less than 3%.

Women.

“”“So they know exactly where they stand. So the Koran happens to become this book that is almost like a guidebook, that tells you exactly how to wear, what to wear, when to wash, what to eat, how to behave, when to pray…”

Less traditional Muslim women may avoid the hijab. But Latinas are happy to wear this head covering. Ms. Londono says they purposely speak Spanish while their heads are covered to show they represent Islam.

“When the people see you with the hijab, they respect you. It’s emotion you feel because you are different.”””

Quigleys observations have been proven remarkably correct. There’s a bad moon on the rise...

When I lived near the Mexican border, I heard many stories about wife-beating being prevalent there, so converting to Islam won’t be such a switch for many Mexican women.

A misguided overreaction to the liberalization of Christianity.

No, honey, they don’t; they think you are unintelligent and easily led.

The woman featured here came from communist Cuba, so I doubt she had received much training in Christian beliefs.
