If I may say so you seem determined not to agree. Of course nobody should be forced into anything against their will or subjected to domestic violence.
I have never said this.
It is a fact is that some Muslim women are more strict than their parents or even their husbands.
Particularly nowadays it has become something of a rebelliousness for some young women to wear a burqa when their mothers would not think of doing so, possibly because of negative publicity in newspapers etc.

But ALL are not the same. Also there are degrees of happiness. How many people of any religion 'go along with it' to keep the partner happy??

Whatever.!

Oi Dick, Dom.... Is this a worthwhile post? Just asking like.

perhaps to "prove" their commitment to the religion

but the quite large number who have been schooled in the more "open" environment of British schools, without segregation, without men getting better training than women, have proven that it is possible to have a religion and yet not be ground into the earth. Without that more open attitude that is available in some countries where would all the female solicitors, doctors, surgeons, etc etc be if under the yoke of a male dominated world ??

May I suggest you protesteth too much for one side - the side of peace and calmness and cannot ever provide an reason or invalid excuse for some of the things that are perpetrated on women by men within their religion.
Regrettably it ends up with those coming up from childhood knowing that is their future and they cannot fight it.

If you cannot see and accept the problem then you are part of the problem

probably as much as

<<Sigh>>
posted regularly by another poster
who is also well known for hopping into a thread with a
<<Hey guys, whats happening?>>

but who am I to judge
??

I'll take that as a "no".... I didn't think it was worthwhile

but WTF it keeps the post count up to the normal daily average, so it has its purposes.
shutting this down will mean that other threads will be hit by nonsensical posts

I have never said that there was not a problem in some countries and in some communities and some families in the UK.
The ordinary reasonably happy women do not get described in the news!

I am not sure what you mean regarding female doctors, lawyers etc? are you suggesting there are none in Muslim countries. You are quite wrong. Even I was surprised at the number of women doctors in Pakistan! Saudi Arabia even has a female pilot although she is a princess
What about the prime ministers? see above posts.

Oh dear god you can be boring as **** sometimes! Even when people try and talk to you in a friendly, normal way you act like a window licker.... Your post count is about 10.85 a day, mine is about 16 a day... You post about a third less a day than me and yet you criticise me for posting too much. Do you even realise how much of a cock that makes you look? I tried to point this out to you and the other two who ALWAYS point this out and you ignorant idiots thought I was trying to assert my dominance over you.... I mean that's the level of stupidity I'm dealing with here.... Oh dear god. It's almost worth leaving the site just to be rid of your stupidity.... But then that would be counter productive eh?

I have my own little princess - but then she is my daughter

Amazed that you can be "surprised"
but then that was surely due to lack of knowledge, although those women are only allowed to practice on women never men.

and as has been said previously, you are so dependable - in being defensive.
stop thinking that the world is ganging up on you.

I have recently been the butt of comment about a high post count - but what do you say in reply to someone who joined in 2006 and has only made 250 posts in that time.
BE is a forum for communicating on daily and longer term matters - but you know that.
I believe that contributing to a forum is about "contributing" not using it to take potshots at others

so put up the cane fencing and taking it out on others

Look... I'm gonna give you a word of advice. There are two sorts of people on here that you are preaching to. One lot say stuff to cause a bit of friction. They try and create tension, start a fight and make a bit of a ding dong... They do it for a couple of reasons. Firstly to try and get people to bite and hopefully to get them banned and partly to just have a fight. They love it, they love to see everyone pile in and fight... It's why they are here. The other people are the complete idiots. They are stupid, lacked some education, missed out on something that in normal people allowed them to be empathetic. They rant about the foreigners, the Muslims, the French, the Empire, how they are the only ones who understand how the world works, you name it and nothing.... And I really do mean that... Nothing, not even facts will ever change their opinion. If someone has a personal experience it's bullshit, if someone has an opinion contrary to theirs it's wrong, if someone has some personal experience then it's something they made up to win an argument, because that's what is important to them... Winning the argument. Save your breath, leave them to spread their hatred and vitriol, they are a dying generation, they are mostly retired and no longer have any say in the modern world.... Leave them to their past.

Not a clue what you're on about.... Cane fencing? Not a clue big boy.

Yes, lack of knowledge I have never been to Pakistan.

neither have I
been to India though, but not for long
