| #12 It's not even an article, it's a sales pitch. There's not one personal experience within, it's a fill in the blanks screed. From the midwest, not a state ? One day I found, not my friend Diane said ? My fill of eastern religions, not yoga didn't help ? This is straight propaganda, without any personification. It stinkith ! |

| #11 SB - After reading the article, I'm not sure who wrote it....her owner, oh sorry, husband, or her local imam. I can't imagine any woman writing this kind of crap voluntarily. That's the way I read it, too. And it was probably approved by a committee. I find it hard to believe that an American female libertarian activist, former or otherwise, would write such al-Stepford boilerplate. |

| #10 Expect the epilogue in two years when she wants her freedom back and hubby and brothers-in-law whack her. Posted by Dar 2006-12-10 16:49 Yes indeed. The lovely time-honored tradition of "honor killing" will surely make its way to our shores. Celebrate diversity!!!! |

| #8 They make medication and have therapy for this kind of thing. Or give her a few years and maybe she'll figure it out. But it may well be too late by then depending how vulnerable she is. I swear this religion takes advantage of mental states to guarantee its continued existance. |

| #7 Dumb twit never had the courage or conviction to be her own person back when she had the freedom to do so, then buys hook, line, and sinker into a system that will not let her back out. Expect the epilogue in two years when she wants her freedom back and hubby and brothers-in-law whack her. |

| #6 For those of us who are not standard sizes, two-piece bathing suits are a necessity. As for this woman, she seems to think that going covered outside the house means she can be sloppy and unkempt for her husband -- what a lovely marriage that must be! |

| #3 Before: Naturally, I did what most average Western girls do. I focused on my appearance and appeal, basing my self-worth on how much attention I got from others. After:I was delighted with the new looks of wonder on peopleÂ’s faces . . . I no longer spent all my time consumed with shopping, makeup, getting my hair done, and working out. Finally, I was free. I told my husband I wanted to wear Niqab. My reason, this time, was that I felt it would be more pleasing to Allah. She's not any kind of feminist, nor has she changed in any fundamental way. She's a bimbo who depends on others' approval for her self-worth. To you, the ill-fated corrupting conquerors of civilization, so-called crusaders, I say: BRING IT ON. Aw, how cute, declaring war on her fellow citizens. Whatever makes you feel important, toots. |
