She said several times the native Muslim women would ask her about about her sex life thinking she was western so surely she could give them information on whether Arabs, black men or white men performed better in bed. *ahem!*<br /><br />Great post and I totally agree. We aren't all shameless sluts in these parts! ;)Susannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03115294023069458287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-47237298184182905172009-09-21T13:35:17.809-07:002009-09-21T13:35:17.809-07:00So true.

My parents - I could not have had better parents and a better family overall! <br /><br />Yes, it's not seen as a bad thing to dress up sexy and have boyfriends as teenagers... But it doesn't mean that's the whole of the population. And even if it did mean that, Muslims should assume responsability for their own problems. It's fun to blame others, but it's wrong. <br /><br />I think I'm having way too many personal issues with *someone* close to me blaming everyone else but himself...Candicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15769515811889621243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-19477484855530415582009-09-21T12:44:07.248-07:002009-09-21T12:44:07.248-07:00Ikram Kurdi: YES!

So the Westerners think Muslims are terrorists that oppress women, and the Muslims think that Westerners have no moral values.<br /><br />It is foolish for Muslims to blame Westerners and for Westerners to blame Muslims when the real enemy is the media.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12137876168612648219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-33951701231851880342009-09-21T08:04:59.828-07:002009-09-21T08:04:59.828-07:00Idiocy exists on both sides of the spectrum, that&...Idiocy exists on both sides of the spectrum, that's for sure. :)<br /><br />It's irritating, and then when you point out that you're not like that, never have been, they either think that you're lying, or that you're the exception to the rule.Amberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09002997517784638068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-86565391994938846532009-09-20T18:10:26.073-07:002009-09-20T18:10:26.073-07:00Sad we aren't all like that in America.

I mean yes we are encouraged to have boyfriends and dress "sexy" (my mom always encouraged it) but that doesn't mean we all do it to the extent of hollywood. Yes there are a lot of loose women in America but many still have morals and boundries.<br /><br />But I do see what they are saying. So much emphasis on beauty and picking up men. It makes me sad. When did our self worth get defined by how hot we are?<br /><br />YAY for you Heather you stick to your morals!LKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06170091976914539273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29744002496111674.post-21316294337215749022009-09-20T17:39:53.000-07:002009-09-20T17:39:53.000-07:00AGREED.
