Btw. Alexia..now to hijack my own thread...I do agree with PM that you really can't blanket all 1 billion followers of a religion into one category..say submissive and prostrate?
Really Muslim women are like all women in the world. They are comprised of various personalities and traits, sure some are weak and many more are strong, vocal and educated.
Do you honestly think it easy to practice the religion of Islam easily in the world today? Remember I am not refering to practicing in Qatar. In order to be a Muslim in todays world it takes perservernce and a strong will.
Muslims are being fought in all corners of the globe just for being Muslim. Those of us from the West clearly see the discrimination that Muslims as minorities face especially post 9/11.
It's unfortunate your friend didn't learn how to say "Mind you own business", but to generalize the people of one religion(which is comprised of countries and cultures all over the world) based on one person's opinion or a silly forum exchange is really an ill method to create such conclusions or statements.
