tu quoque

"You mention that you are Indian and there are many instances that the western world could consider as "backward" in your culture as well, ie the caste system, the untouchables, people forced to live in slums etc but there is no mention of this in your post"

Oh my !!!!! This is quintessential Tu Quoque. I said a lot of things about Muslim men & their religious ideologies, If you had a counter argument you should have put, instead you mentioned about caste, untouchabilty & people 'forced' to live in slums in India (I too consider all these as backward ) which are in no way related to our discussion. I thought Mr.Daniel Pipes's forum deals mostly with the issues related to Islam, its theology & politics, not about the Indian society & culture. Are you trying to say that there is a direct connection between the problems in the Indian society & Islamic men conning naive western women for marriage? Just because I said that I'm an Indian, you made these points to divert our discussion, a logical fallacy.

"There are many Muslims in India but you don't mention this so I assume you think that the Muslims in India are better than the Muslins elsewhere."

Throughout my comment I never explicitly differentiated Muslim men from India or the other regions. Upon that most of the women here are mentioning about the problems they are facing dating Muslim men mainly from the Middle-East. Again you tried to divert the whole discussion my mentioning about Indian Muslims as though I defended them.

As someone mentioned in this forum, only the Sikhs, Hindus, Buddhists(these days) & Zionist Jews understand that there is a war between them and the Muslims & one of the tactics employed by the Muslims is to con the non-Muslim women in the name of love & romance. In India, the Hindu, Christian & Sikh leaders have warned their respective communities regarding this & it is called 'Love Jihad'. Just google for this term.

"As for Islam in Australia, there is a culture of religious freedom in Australia of which we are proud. Please don't include a country of which you have no knowledge in your rant."

Aha.....Then what I read daily about some news about Australian Muslims must be a 'Zionist propaganda'. Guess the would be suicide bombers, Sharia enablers, the wannabe honor killers, wannabe beheaders of the infidels, Gitmo inmates, etc can be sent to Australia for rehabilitation, where they will get converted into Jeffersonian democracy believers.

I wrote a long comment on Islam & its attitude towards non Muslims pertaining to marital relationship, but you've got nothing to say to counter that.
