Oh yeah..., I’m sure you can come across many of them (very many) who would say that and agree with what you’ve said.

The thing that comes to mind (when you said that) is “Stockholm syndrome”... LOL..

I’m sure they like the idea of being refused education in these really hard-core Islamic societies, having their women’s schools burned and acid thrown on them, who try to get an education, or a girl who gets stoned to death (on video, no less; “wrong boyfriend” doncha know...) by the culture that has produced this kind of mentality from the Islamic worldview that is established.

But, sure..., they don’t mind getting beat, as the clerics say some of these women need from time to time, because they actually *realize* that they deserved it. So, yes, they realize that they need to be protected like this for their own good...

After one is raised all their life like this, have no other options, face beatings, death, stonings, etc., is it any wonder...?

[if one lives in that kind of culture and you’re subject to those things, you can’t have “cognitive dissonance” ( http://changingminds.org/explanations/theories/cognitive_dissonance.htm ) and expect to “live” in that kind of society, hence “Stockholm Syndrome”...]

I specified the countries about to which I was referring and none of them engage in those practices nor are they under taliban rule.
