So muslims, Arabic in general think that men can get away with cheating while women deserve death if they cheat

Doesn't make any sense to me 😓

Not to even mention the arranged marriages where the woman or girl has no choice.

Christians and Hindus have arranged marriages too
Men where do you get these ideas from?! That's complete nonsense!

Exactly in Morocco guys date girls for years then leave saying my mom found me a girl. No kidding that's true.

@AoNoSora: I could give you links to sites that would prove what I say but you would just disrespect that site as fake so I'll give you a personal example. I live in South Africa where Muslims are pretty mellow as compared to places like Afghanistan.

A few years back my daughter was studying in university where she had a woman Muslim friend. Her friend was told by her family that when she finished her degree that she would be marrying a certain man. No choice, it was compulsory for her.

@Girlwithsilverheart: That doesn't make it right.
@Wraithorn: Alright, I might not say you're wrong but do you think it's fair if I am a foreigner in America and a man raped me to say that ALL Americans are bad people? These are exceptions. In your exemple, your friend's family don't fully comprehend the religion but claim do to so. No statement in Islam oblige anyone to marry. I'm sure and if you think I'm mistaken please give me a proof.

@AoNoSora: as I said before Islam doesn't say that women should marry who their families chose. But it's a fact and a lot of my Moroccan girl friend married that way.
@QueenPeach: I see. So you're ruining Islam's image because you saw some people who don't know the religion and misinterpreting it doing their way? I am by no way accusing you but don't you think you're being unfair?

@AoNoSora: I'm not ruining islam's image. I'm saying facts.

@AoNoSora: I am not saying that all Muslims are bad people. They are not. They just so happen to have been born into that culture. If you don't believe what i say about arranged marriages then just ask all the Muslim women who have been forced to marry a man that they don't even know. Ask the underage girls who have been forced to marry an adult man because their parents made them do it.

I have a problem with religion in general and especially male dominated ones because any religious book can be interpreted in a way that the men want it to be. It depends on the interpretation and not even all the people who belong to the same religion interpret their book in the same way.
@Wraithorn: First of all, I agree that some families may oblige their daughters into arranged marriages, but are they applying Islam or following their culture? Trust me, I read 'the book' as you call it, and it's Quran. And honestly, there is no single proof that oblige women to marry. You say it's misinterpreted differently, but here that's a rare case and entirly another story.
Anyways, When people apply Islam differently it's when they don't even bother understanding the Quran correctly. They were born as Muslims, followed Islam as a tradition (and mingled its principles with their OWN culture) without understanding and thus soiled the picture of such a religion. The guys you met were NOT applying Islam-but applying their culture-because that's a religion that gives woman freedom to marry whoever she wants and accept whoever she likes. I am not exaggerating in any sort, it's only facts. So I'm sorry if such ignorants made you think badly of this religion and generalize. Ask other women whose families seriously apply Islam if they are forced.

@QueenPeach: You are. Because you're feeding people wrong ideas about this religion based on a bunch of people in Morocco. Did you see how other muslims behave at least? Or you're just generalizing. Because seriously, I could easily say that I hate Europe and most European guys are b*****ds because I know (statistical fact) that around 20% of European girls have been raped at least once in their life. I am sure the pourcentage of Moroccan you met is not even close to 2% of Muslim population. So please, again, don't spread ideas.

@AoNoSora: I'll give you the benefit of the doubt for now until I learn more. I know far more about the bible so I'll just stick to ripping that to shreds instead.
@Wraithorn: Alright, so you're just hating it without being convinced, or dare I say, just from petty judgements. I think it's totally unfair but I don't mind. I hope when you'll be ready you'll understand whay I'm saying clearly. Good luck on that.

@AoNoSora: Hate is too strong a word. I dislike ALL religion and especially the male dominated ones like the Abrahamic religions.
@Wraithorn: Ah okay. I don't know where you're seeing male dominance in Islam when in the laws: female have their special training in serving the army, they have their special training in worlds tournament sports...etc. They are obviously treated unequally than men, why is that not sexist?
It's pretty much the same thing in Islam, if not more lax laws.
