Your application to become a Muslim is being processed. Meanwhile, be sure to grow your beard to the right length, and get rid of all your music. And oh by the way, they stone men too, not just women. I’m sure you would like it much better if they only stoned women.

It’s really funny how blinded people have become and how invested they are in the socialist/feminist propaganda of our times. I’m not a Muslim and have no desire to be one, nor do I have a desire to live in most Muslim countries (although a few are tempting). However, if they want to structure their culture in a way that conforms with centuries of tradition I see no real problem with that since it acts to preserve the family unit which is the foundation of any civilization.

Yet people on this board continually decry the destruction of traditional values and the family but will instantly turn like crazed dogs on any hint of something out of the norm or is perceived as being anti-woman from a western perspective.

Are arranged marriages better than women slutting it up for 10 or 20 years before finally settling down with some poor schumk that they’ll more than likely divorce anyway? History and current conditions say yes. But for some reason that just drives western minds crazy, “how dare they violate the freedom of these poor young innocent girls/women”. Well there is a choice, and I believe that we in the west have made the wrong choice. I’m not an advocate for girls marrying at 13 but I’m all for letting people decide how they want to live and if some girl wants to get married at 13, why not? No skin off my nose. And if people in some country want to have arranged marriages why not? Again, no skin off my nose, it’s their life they can live it as they see fit.
