Muslim Europe
Hopefully the Brits on my journal can give me a clue as to who this guy is but he makes some very amusing and solid point about the Islamic world. He also seems to do it without the hate or prejudice view that others may have.

I don't mean to imply every Arab has similar issues, nor every Muslim, but there is a nasty secret shared by many sons, brothers, and fathers that they have learned the behaviours appropriate to their homeland. It will be many many years before the Muslim and Arabic world allows for women to be given the freedoms and respect women have earned in Europe and North America. And in this time of transition and change, things will be brutal for those whom do not immediately bow to these tyrants but also do not directly confront and fight their ideology.
That's exactly it though. Learned behaviors based on religious idealism that travels with them to foreign countries that have different ways of doing things. I remember something either in the UK or here in the US about a father who burned down his daughter's apartment because he didn't like the guy she had shacked up with. (And yes he was Muslim too.) It completely flies in the face of their wishes that we respect their countries ideologies but yet won't give us the same respect in our country. The whole "When in Rome" thing doesn't work with them. And in all honesty that's the thing that bothers me the most. I completely understand that if I go to Saudi Arabia I would have to cover myself like the women there do and out of respect for them and also for my own safety I would do so. However, if they come here and start demanding I do the same they can "fuck off" in my most humble opinion. I don't care who they are.
