Been surfing FR.
The things going on in this world concerning Islam just astound me. I was so oblivious for so long.
The only inkling I ever had was a friend of mine, a western co-worker who was married to a Muslim. She was very quietly plotting an escape for herself and her young daughter. She said his family treated her like a slave and he was none too happy she got a job as a nurse. I asked her why she didn't just divorce him and she said he had threatened to run off with her daughter to Pakistan. This was in 1997. I still couldn't understand it.
I lost touch with her and often wonder how things turned out. Especially after 9/11.
Islam is an army disguised as a religion.
