[QUOTE]Originally posted by Troubles101: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by newcomer: [b]I know I am coming late into this but the recurring word throughout this thread is respect, and to me that seems to be the core of the matter. I don’t think that the harassment here is related to either Islam or western influences, but it is part of a general trend that is occurring internationally. Children are not being raised nowadays to respect their elders, parents, or women in the same way that they used to be and the effect is being shown in the way teenagers/young people behave throughout the world. How often do you hear parents saying nowadays, “O, I can’t do that, he/she won’t let me.” And they are referring to their child who is anything from a few months old! Parental discipline isn’t what it used to be and children are encouraged to be more independent and expressive of their feelings. Maybe it isn’t happening here in Egypt as much as in the West, but it is happening here too, I have seen teenagers here speaking to their parents in ways that shocked me and their parents just shrugged their shoulders. I think 7aya also made an important point; western men are much freer to approach and develop a relationship with a woman than Egyptian/Arab men are, due to societal norms, which put some limits on their physical behaviour, but they express their lack of respect verbally. I agree that the level of harassment in the West isn’t the same as it is here, but how many western women complain that men are “only out for one thing.” Is that just another way of expressing the same lack of respect?[/b][/QUOTE] I would love to see how the west will behave like if a law preventing man and woman to live together unless they were married is applied there? What happned in Egypt is that some western wanna be Egyptians who are supported by Media and government promoted the western obsession with sex and the western definition of beauty and equality in the name of liberation into everything but they forgot to bring the whole package which is why Egypt now is half and half...a good example of duality within muslim community where everyone believe in the superiority of Islamic principles and only few do the practicing.
