--yeah--I'll bet there's a long line at every mosque--
Experience is a dear school, but a fool will learn no other way!
I guess some girls/women love to follow moon gods and to be treated like property with less value than cattle.
Unless these women are deformed, I would imagine most women don't like 700ad fashions.
These women are introduced to "Islam Light" and too late learn what Islam is really like. Usually after it is too late to do anything about it.
This sure looks familiar. I wonder if this 'testimony' isn't being recycled every 3 months or so.
This "news" story is just an advertisement for Islam without any backstory.
My question is, whom did Amy's mother begin dating when Amy was 12?
That might contextualize the story a bit.
According to the article, she found peace. It also states that, while most think that Islam oppresses women, it actually elevates the status of women, and they see it as a liberation of sorts. They like the respect for women that it teaches. They also like the lack of intermediaries between them and God.
It must be an individual thing.
Please place the word "Suicidal" or "Idiot" at the beginning of the title.
Maybe Amy Perez should read this online book first, especially Chapter 3, The Status of Women in Islam:

Oh give me a freaking break.
That particular abomination is not specific to Islam, but rather to a part of the world. It is practiced nearly universally among Ethiopian Christians.
As for little Amy, she obviously had her parents' approval to explore Islam, since 12 year olds don't make independent decisions to attend private schools.
More than anything else, this is a sad commentary on our public schools. If they weren't rotten and violence-ridden, there's little chance that Amy would have wanted to transfer in the first place, much less liked the Islamic school better after she got there.
Hey Amy! "Estupida loca!"
There are differing "denominations" of Islam, and often it depends on where the Muslim is from and what their culture is. Perhaps if new converts come from nations where there's freedom, a more moderate version Islam will prevail and change it.
Female circumcision is practiced in a few African Islamic nations, and is not the rule. Religions change depending on which nations and peoples adopt it. I can't imagine a Latinized Islam, but it's gotta be better than the Iranian hard-line version.
Ted Kennedy's Immigration Act of 1965 coming home to roost.
Amy has a sick psychological need to be dominated and controlled. When you think of it, in the Latin culture, males are dominant. Machismo rules.
She obviously feels she needs stronger domination than her culture provides, therefore: Islam.
Where females are completely subservient property of males.
When you think of it, Islam is the most extreme form of masochism and sadism. Not too far removed from the sickos who need to be beaten,degraded and sometimes even killed for the sexual or psychological 'high' it gives them.
In private, we call it pathological aberrance.
In public we call it a 'religion'- Islam.
This is nonsense; somebody is making up crap again.
Florida again.
