Lisa,
Quote:Abu, as a pure blooded Mediterranean woman who has been brought up in Oz under a strict religious and cultural code I detest and protest against the nonsense you are posting
The fact you pointed this out kind of tends to indicate that you realise this upbringing was in contrast to the society at large... doesn't it?
My point was not that all who are brought up in this society will hold such disregard for women, but it is pretty rampant. I grew up as an Anglo Aussie male, and I saw constantly with my own eyes the kind of disregard Aussie men generally have for females, and even a lot of Aussie women themselves. And I find it EXTREMELY hypocritical when they then go on to make bold sweeping generalisations about Islam... so you can consider this my payback.
Quote:If this topic is anything to go by then you have done nothing more than betray yourself as being very bitter and against the very country which has embraced you as its citizen.
Since Australia did not "embrace me as a citizen" this part of your post just makes absolutely no sense at all.
The only way in which it could make sense would be if we take into account that you've got absolutely no idea who you're talking to, and are under the delusion all Muslims must be immigrants...
Quote:I have some Muslim friends and neighbours and NOT ONE of them speaks or thinks like you do.
Wow fancy that? You mean we're not all identical carbon copies who all hold the exact same views who should all be lumped into the one same basket? Surely this can't be correct? Bush and Gingrich certainly can't have lied about this can they???
And here I was under the impression that if one Muslim did something, then naturally all of them must do it.... How wrong I was! Thanks for educating me on that one Lisa.
