They Don't Think Like Us

[DanaC]

Maybe for the cosmopolitans, but not the girl that never has, and probably never will, travel outside her parents village. When she can be stoned to death for talking to a non-relative male, the "no" option probably doesn't exist.

True enough, those scenarios exist. But...they are not necessairly characteristic of the system as a whole. The Moslem world is a pretty big one. There are as many variations of culture within that frame as within ours.
