Saudi propaganda...I’ll wager than “Caroline Glick” doesn’t even exist.

[palmer]

Right, but there are plenty in Italy, duh?

“You do realize we live in the 21st century?! “

So you can drive yourself to your own stoning?

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

You’re an idiot, Miss Anonymous of Saudi Arabia. If you have choices, it’s because your parents give you a few. If they decided to take those away, you’d have to comply or suffer dire consequences.
When you marry, if your husband decides to take away your privileges, you will have to comply or suffer dire consequences.
You have NO rights. You have some privileges, like a pampered pet, granted by people who have the state-sanctioned power to lock you away for life, or have you destroyed.
Repeat. You have NO rights in Saudi Arabia.

>>Yes I do wear an abaya, but we do not necessarily have to cover our hair or faces; again this is a personal and cultural choice.

To be frank, abayas are not a big deal to us, we actually embrace it and design lovely abayas that portray our personalities.<<

Foolish girl! What would happen if you chose not to wear the head covering? Your wonderful “religious” police would beat you in the streets. Also, the remark about the Vatican is ridiculous. No Muslim is forbidden to enter the Vatican. No harm will come to a Muslim who walks through St. Peter’s Square. This girl states that she is 20 yrs. old and lived in the U.S. for 13 yrs. How fortunate for her that she has a loving and understanding family. Unfortunately, there is a strong streak in her letter that points up exactly what is wrong with Islam. No Golden Rule. She doesn’t care about the abuse of women because it does not happen to her.

[CHEE]

This does not jive with what I witnessed while living in Saudi. Never forget Muslims are allowed, even urged, to lie to the nonbelievers in their warped religion.

At least she has not been brainwashed by her religion. SARC

Israel, not the Vatican, is the land where Jesus was born and died and was resurrected, and where the two holiest places in Christianity are located (Jerusalem and Bethlehem). Clearly there should be no mosques allowed there by her logic.

[WildcatClan]

So polygamy is just a magnanimous gesture on the part of Islamic males. Well now we know. The girl is wrong, we do have a right to mock her. We have a thing called “Freedom of Speech” in America. I would guess this girl has a colored moustache that is either red, orange, purple or some other color, because she has sure been drinking the Kool*Aid.

You also mention how no other religions can be practiced in Saudi Arabia. I want to point out this is the land that Islam was introduced in; the land the prophet was born in, the same land that contains Mecca and Medina, two of the holiest sites in Islam.

It makes sense not to allow another religion to be practiced in such a sacred place. As far as I know there is no mosque in Vatican City.

Let's try a different example, shall we?

You also mention how no other religions can be practiced in Israel. I want to point out this is the land that Christianity was introduced in; the land Jesus was born in, the same land that contains Bethleham and Jerusalem, two of the holiest sites in Christiandom.

It makes sense not to allow another religion to be practiced in such a sacred place. As far as I know there is no Christain church in Mecca.

If that were published, the screams of "Bigot" and "Religious Intolerance" would ring from the rafters of every pressroom in America.

Vatican “City” is a “City”, not a country.
Are people allowed to enter Vatican City carrying a Koran? I think so.
Are muslim people allowed to enter Vatican City?
I think so.

Are Christian people allowed to enter Saudi Arabia with a Bible?
I think not.
Are Jews allowed to enter Saudi Arabia?
I think not.

Are any non muslim people allowed to enter Mecca?
I think not.

[Rummyfan]

My advice to you, Caroline, is to befriend a Saudi. This is the best way to get to understand our culture. Or better yet, visit Saudi Arabia.

Caroline Glick, as an Israeli and a woman, would not be allowed to even enter the country.

By that logic, islam should be prohibited from the Holy Land, as this is where Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born and where Christianity began.

...no sheikh (the equivalent to a priest) will allow a man to marry a second or third wife without conducting an interview with him to see what his reasons are.

Shiekh: "So, young man. You wish to marry a third wife. How often do you beat your first two?"
Man: "Once or twice a week, Shiekh!"
Shiekh: "Is that all??? And you expect to take on the additional responsibility of beating a third wife?"

[monkeyshine]

Hmmm.. Well then since the Torah was given to Moses in Sinai, then no other religion should be practiced in Sinai?
