One thing that really stands out on this thread is the widespread prejudice against the perception of a Muslim woman.
So many ignorant comments about how badly Muslim women are treated.
Do any of you stop for a moment to realise you are part of the problem by perceiving all Muslim women as one?
Is it really such a difficult concept to understand that in every community and culture some people will treat women badly and others won’t?
After all the threads on the relationship boards talking about how badly British men are treating their British wives - no one goes around saying ‘oh I’d hate to be white British, their men just cocklodge and cheat’ - somehow here people manage to understand that these are individual situations.
Yet you refuse to apply the same logic to Muslim men and women?
I will tell you what one of the hardest things about being a Muslim woman is: the repeated encounters with the (usually white British) woman with a superiority complex, who assumes and behaves as though we are somehow oppressed, and refuses to understand that she should see each of us as an individual, despite demanding that right for herself.
Do some authentic research. Islam was the first to give women rights and honour them, centuries before the west, and continues to do so. If you don’t agree with the way of life then that’s your choice, but don’t patronise those of us who do choose it, our choices are just as valid as yours.
