[QUOTE]Originally posted by 7aya: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by frienda: I am very open minded,opinionated,humorous, outgoing,accepting of the human oddities that abound in Western life, strangely ambitious and a complete free spirit who engages in a laissez faire lifestyle. All of the above mentioned, do not coincide with Islam. what exactly does not coincide with islam? being humorous, and ambitous? Islam my dear encourages people to reach the highest level of knoweledge and status they can reach in their life. and where in islam does it say you cant be humours? girl where do you get that stuff from? really if ]his is your understanding of islam,then do not convert, because what you said is a very superficial look on what islam is really about I would like to know how many of the women who are from Western countries, have actually lived in Egypt on their own as an unescorted single female? When I moved there, I did not have a place to live, nor could I speak any Arabic. The only thing I had going for me was my smile and a positive attitude. This got me through. I would just like to mention to those American girls moving over there, that Egypt is completely different to live than to visit. On a visit, you are only able to see the beauty of it, but not the social oppressions that lie underneath. Please realize that freedom (in terms of speech, dress and behaviour) will be a past tense in your vocabulary. If you are a happy go lucky who smiles at everyone and thinks life is simply perfect like I do, please beware. You will soon lose that smile and replace it with a frown. Anyone female looking happy on her own will cause many disruptions. Please read "Culture Shock, Egypt" (written by a Dallasite female who does business in Egypt) for preparation of how you will have to behave. Have you walked the streets alone unescorted in Egypt? This is very scary, and my features are not Caucasian. again a load of bull. women in egypt are not confined in their homes they go about as any man. and if its for sexual harrasment, yeah that is a problem, but as i said before it has nothing to do with the way a woman dresses. and at least an egyptian woman can walk around without being mugged or raped like in the US (there' a rape in the US every 2 minutes) Also on the topic of inequality, racism there is very prevalent not only for those that are non-Islamic, but to those who are not full Arab . Just ask anyone from the huge African community in Cairo they will tell you that Egyptians are racist.Egypt might be located in the African continent, but they want NOTHING to do with Africa nor it's people. Sorry, but this is true. we egyptians do not want to be african, because we dont feel that we are. we feel that we are more arab, our language, traditions etc. not becuase we dont want to do anything with them. look frienda, you dont like egypt? fine i cannot force you to like it. you dont want to live with your future husband here? great i hope you have the best life in the US inshallah. but please please put in consideration that there are Egtypains on the forum who get very insulted from the way you speak [/B][/QUOTE] [/QB][/QUOTE]
