Yes, Europe is not America, but although cultures are vastly varied and different, one must understand how middle-eastern people see it. From Rushdi's Satanic Verses to the Crusades to general view on Islam, my people seldom notice -or care to notice- differences.

On the views of extremist cultural gurus, they say : "enemies look alike" and that justifies the homogenization of "western" cultures.

I'll comment on the other in due time; I'm operating on my iPhone; my computer is being fixed. :(

btw, emancipation is the most dangerous, deluding thing that could happen to women. and i am saying this as one. it basically says you can have a family and a career! allow me to laugh. as if that would compute. both are so time - consuming that no matter how hard you try, in the end, you WILL have to sacrifice one in order to keep the other. it is impossible to have everything.

I find this comment interesting. Does this mean that feminists (or feminazis) don't want women to take care of their houses? Many feminazis relish in calling out men whose spouses are housewives, calling for "equal oppertunity", and sometimes even call against a woman's right to choose, by calling her "Forced by a partiachal society" to cook and clean. Is freedom being taken by forcefully given here?

On the feminist side, one can call them "Slaves content by slavery", so there is another side to everything, apparently.
