I do always wonder what would happen if the rapists, abusers, pedophilers were punished harshly? You see men going into sex shops in places looking for children. What would happen if they were punished right away, amyone caught going into a place like that? What qould happen. I bet the incidents of the these types of activites would decrease. We punish the women and children and clearly that has not stopped it, what would happen if we did it the other way?
When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy. Rumi

Even your own sources confess that wherever was taken over by Taliban, they put an end to rape. Infact, what made Mullah Muhammad Omar stand up and fight in the first place was when he saw a family who had been raped by criminals during Soviet Rule.

The Taliban did infact execute a lot of rapists, this is while the beloved friends of the UN and US, the Northern Alliance have always been famous for rape (even according to your sources).

But women dont dress up just so that they wont be raped! Intrestingly, a lot of Afghan women continue to wear the Burqa even after the US invasion and the taking over by the Northern Alliance who encourage the removal of Hijab.

The problem is its wrong no matter where it is, while women in the West were property, Muslimahs were property owners and respected.

While the ancient churches called us unclean, Muslimahs like Aisha were quoted and respected.

The Taliban robbed muslim women of their rights, their dignity and their souls.  The robbed muslim men of benefit of learning the truth of the faith they practice.

As much as people complain about the evils of the west.  I just cannot understand why it would be more acceptable for Muslim men to do the same or worse.

I would think you would hold your own to a higher standard since they should know better.

Dubai

If we looked around and asked some of these women here, we would find that women's priorities are different in some parts of the world. What a woman envys or aspires for, say, in Manhattan, would turn out to be as shocking a concept for this woman, in that park, with here four cute daughters as much as some women not wanting to go beyond the elimentary tution is for us the other sdie of the Suez.

Assalaamu alaikum:

I am striving to free myself of the western ways, which is difficult. I also have to train my spouse to lean the proper ways, which is difficult because he has become comfortable in the ways things have been. I have been the educated one that has basically been the breadwinner because of the extreme shortage of qualified nurses in the Us southwest, but it has been neccessary to move out of the country in order to afford to just live. The southern az desert town where I still work has become as pricey to live in as Malibu CA, and one cannot work in the service field and survive there. I receive a generous salary for my services, others with less education and no skills cannot.

In Mexico there is much poverty. I am currently working with doctors without borders as a liason for children with special education and health needs. Since I am both a nurse and teacher this helps. this work is voluntary, I still work in the US 2 days a week to meet our living needs, Alhamdullillah, there is so much to do! My children are raised, yet there are so many children that still need help.

Much of the poverty in this borderland area is created by the desire of many of the latino peoples to provide a manner in which to better the lives of their families. Over 279 people alone so far have died in the Camino del Diablo, the vicious merciless desert of the Arizona corridor in which "illegal immigrants" try to cross into the USA to obtain work so that they could send money back to their families. Some bodies are never identified.

That is the type of lure that the USA, the west, has on 3rd world countries such as Mexico. The sad thing is, these people have wonderful resources in their own country, and many of the white anglo americans despise these beautiful and proud people. Who would think that western ways are better? The traditional woman of Mexico is like that of a traditional muslim mother: She is the queen of her castle and all things go through her, her life is that of the well being of her children. How many americans are willing to risk their lives to provide for their families?

Interesting thought?

"Every good deed is charity whether you come to your brother's assistance or just greet him with a smile.
