I think most women converting to Islam are through Muslim boyfriends, and also women are known to be better at compromising than men.
A genuine friend will accept you for what you are and respect and tolerate the differences. Yes! compromises are vital but they should never amount to a surrender!Islam gives more peace, in that women are 'protected' by men they can be simply housewives with no guilt to it, and focus on raising kids etc, it's more peaceful compared to the high paced lives people have to live to be independent and well off these days.
Eastern cultures have traditionally had this feature. It's independent of any religion! Even Christianity harps on the value of family life and the role of a woman as a home maker. Funny thing is when Islam says it ,it's considered as 'liberating' by warped feminists,whereas when Christianity says the same thing it's considered 'subjugating'. Surely, even today there are a lot of full time house wives in the west. Take care NOT TO choose an incorrigible asshole[popular heart throbs!
] and you are good to go as a merry house wife!
In islam there is a sense of community which has been lost in the west, particularly in cities, sense of belonging and togetherness, a substitute family for those who are alone.
You get this in your neighborhood gang too! The loneliness experienced is self created by an over emphasis on uncompromising,dehumanizing individuality,where the only thing that matters is me, me, me......The solution to this doesn't lie in becoming a member of a gang of any kind, but in reaching out to people with kindness and compassion and genuine caring.You could make your entire neighborhood your family! You don't have to sacrifice your individuality to be able to do thisTo be honest I do think there's a tendency of over sexualisation of people and from an age too young here in the west, but putting on a burkha because of that is extreme and unfortunately it's the same message - saying women ARE sexual objects hence they must be hidden away.
Spot on! But listening to the 'creative' justifications makes you marvel at the extent of delusions a human mind is capable of. You have a free choice to be nuts I suppose!Plus, there's those who are simply easily persuaded by people who they are around, and wanting to fit in with the majority of people, such as in schools, and not feel like an outcast. There are areas where there are majority of muslim people living. Then there's the attention seeker, who wants to feel special when muslims begin focusing their attention on this 'kaffir' to save them and get goodie points.
Desperately trying to prove Allah's[Muhammad's?] perception of women in general, RIGHT, I suppose! A Spark of Feminism ?
Confused young females of all sorts,
Raised by inept parents ,who should have known better,
Than to foist these half baked products
On a society that's growing crazier
Where the choice of a partner,
Is dictated by the excitement of uncertainty,
Amply provided by assholes of dubious character;
Thus begins these naive females'
plunge into their chosen hell holes of horror.
As the thrill wanes and the truth dawns,
the certainty of abuses
Makes life miserable and intolerable,
A new search becomes inevitable.
But like a junkie's quest for his fix,
Another asshole comes along,
Life becomes a tragic song,
The whole charade is repeated as a poor remix.
Bewildered,lost and defeated,
They start complaining tis all wrong
Utterly blind to their stupid choices!
All men are evil they begin to say
With our extreme hatred we shall make them pay
For treating us so unfairly
Feminists we shall become to fightand rant
For our liberation and equality
But cherry picking the bad guys they just can't
Condemn a half of humanity!
As you sow so shall you reap
Human relationships don't come cheap
Effortless,endless love belongs to the realms of fantasy
Wave after wave hitting the shore regularly
After long boring periods of monotony
Is love's quintessential reality!
