But, no reason to limit that other side option to other religions. I know that big problems may arise, even if both sides belong to the same religion, but different sects. I don't know how valid is this with Christianity, but it is a lot more valid with Islam. Since neither side want to resign from their own sects, it would be an ongoing battle during their marriage, and a bigger problem arise when they have the kids. Then, it becomes a family vs. family struggle, with the entry of the relatives... |

You're seriously underestimating muslim society, or overestimating them depending on how you look at it, but take it from someone who'se been in their country for four years and has still been in contact of members of their colture every year after that. They are very open about their beliefs and every chance they have, they will try to convert you. Multiple people, including my best friend (who'se from Egypt) have tried it with me. As for relationships, take it from someone with personal experience even. And there was also a case in Italy which happened not too long ago when a muslim family killed their own daughter because she was going out with someone from my country. It might not be the same for other religions, but when you have people like this, you just have to be deeply concerned. |

As for the honor killing you talk about, yes, I fully believe you when you say it happened, and I'm aware of other cases like that too. However, parents murdering their children is not confined to muslims. You might be able to point to things like sharia law that could be said to encourage stuff like that, but in the end it's because those people who did that were psychotic loons, and likely would have been psychotic loons if they weren't muslim.

Sure, you'll find the occasional nutjob. But, again, that's true of any religion. |

But, you should know they act more aggressive than your local people, who only knock your door, distribute bible, and invite you to their church. |

My take: if these airport scanners produce a realistic enough image of someone's body through clothing that you actually need to worry about whether they violate child porn laws if used on someone under 18 WITHOUT saving the image... you should probably be debating whether they're an invasion of privacy too.

See the problem with personal anecdotes now? It doesn't help to resort to hasty generalizations when it comes to describing certain groups of people. |
