Hi All,
I have not lived in Iraq, or UAE etc. but!
I have been notified by an Iraqi (born and brought up) Christian that Muslims
in Iraq treat Christian females there as cheap, because they do not cover
themselves.
He said, "Muslim boys want to mix with Christian girls, but they do not want
Christian boys to mix with their Muslim girls. They keep them covered up and
indoors".
What lessons do we teach Muslims? - Empathy, I think.
Lessons of compassion, acceptance and tolerance.(also)
Empathy, Psychology, Philosophy, even Historyand Geography is not taught in
Madrasas, only their holy book to be recited by heart back to front; this is
the report in a two part series on Channel 4 in Uk by Samira Ahmed, a regular
Channel 4 news reader.
She also read from the Quran that women need not cover from head to toe, just
modestly.
Husband is allowed to beat the wife says the Quran, in fact she read it from
the Quran that it is a means of telling the wife that, he is in command, Quran
just makes it legal.
Thirdly, because she mixed with middleclass ladies in Egypt (her source and
country for the series), she found out that 85% of them were circumcised, Why
Oh Why she asked? they said that their grannys wanted their daughters to do it
to their daughters, and if the neighbours have done it, you had to get done too.
I LIKE THE WAY SELMA THROUGHS THE SPANNER IN THE WORKS NOW AND AGAIN TO WIND US
UP. (elem-shem cordoo dita, now and again, and watches Goans go crazy over her
comments).

Besides I am tired of hearing this bit about "teaching other people lessons",
of teaching Muslims lessons, of teaching ghantis lessons, of teaching non-Goans
lessons. I want to learn some lessons. I am not too old to learn lessons in
life. Lessons of compassion, acceptance and tolerance. I want to learn that
other humans are beings with mothers and daughters just as myself. That they
merit our empathy and help not our disdain.
