thank you for ur kind invitation but I've been to the States once already. I was there 5 years ago and didn't feel at ease then, and now after all these changes in the way Muslims r treated I would not dare go there. I don't wear a Muslim dress called Hijab but if people just learnt I'm Muslim some of them would probably do something not too nice to me. I've read that Muslim women wearing hijab sometimes receive physical or verbals insults in Russia, US and European countries. well I liked ur country to some extent, it has a lot to see and to do, I went to see Disneyland and Universal Studios, Hollywood and Vegas but it's not my dream country anyway.I'm not saying I would not live there if I had to like if my husband was American or had to work there, it's just if I had a choice I'd choose smth different. ur people, especially women seem to be quite cold, not 100% but the majority, very unfriendly, they act like men and seem to be aggressive. I also heard quite a few stories abt women not taking care of their kids, leaving them, using drugs, saw so many lesbians and a few gays that it really gave me a shock. there is a lot to list, good and bad and I wouldn't want to do it here. please take my comments easy, I may be subjective but this is what I saw anyway. on the contrary, many American men seemed like good and caring fathers and husbands and they were generally friendly. I just want you all to keep in mind that in most cases when I say things, I'm not just basing my statements on what I read, but I also what I saw with my own eyes or heard from people living in the countries I mention. ur nickname is "Investigateworld" so perhaps that's what you should do, go to any Arabic country, let's say Egypt or UAE and you'll see how friendly those people r to you, no matter if ur Ameican or Kazakh or smth else, how peaceful their minds r, how helpful they r and how religious. I promise you, that would expand ur horizons greatly and make you change some images you have in mind provided you r not too biased.

thank you for your thoughts. I've traveled throughout the USA, Canada, Mexico and Europe as I'm a retired cop with a bit of time. Next summer, Lord willing, I will go to Egypt and Israel.
