Diana - Trolling?? For posting a link to a real article, and asking for opinions on it? That's called open debate where I was raised. Sorry if my post set alarm bells off for you.

Moderator - Ok, sorry for breaking a rule I didn't realise existed. I'm disappointed though, that you also deleted my opinion along with the quote I excerpted. But, if you felt it needed censoring, as Moderator, that's your prerogative.

Grizzled Bear - Said newby has not responded to any of the questions on his/her own thread. I might be a bit trigger happy, but...

I think you maybe are being a touch trigger happy on this one Mr Bear, contrary to what you may read about us Brits, some of us do have productive jobs and businesses over here that don't involve sitting in front of a Govt funded PC surfing EBay or trawling through forums, so unfortunately, I wasn't able to address any response within a few minutes notice! I'll be as prompt as possible, I promise!

humblegunner - Power over her Husband. Sorry, my bad due to posting late, with tired eyes and brain. I'll paraphrase.
Do I think she should have the power in her marriage, so she is able to avoid being 'stoned, flogged or imprisoned' for alleged adultery without trial?
Absolutely I believe she should have power to protect herself from an oppressive entity, where the entity is applying excessive punishment based on religious fanaticism, or any other unreasonable belief.

Jemian - I've worked with groups in my Community in my spare time for many years that are connected to my local Church, and worked lots with single Mums.
I've never had first hand experience with this issue, although I've heard lots of stories about friends of some of the women I work with who've run into serious problems with multicultural relationships.
FWIW, I live in Yorkshire in the UK, which is one of the most 'diverse' (ie: racially segregated) areas of the UK with regard to Muslims.
I think those feelings of (British) Western Women looking into other religions and cultures for some modicum of happiness relates to the disillusionment of being British in the unbalanced multicultural society that the Socialist Governments have created here over the past few decades. Some (younger generation) people here seem to hate being British now, it's subtle Socialist programming that's slowly erasing our (cultural) identity.
Unfortunately, that subtle programming is becoming more and more widespread, and consequently, more accepted.
