Other red flags for Sagi

Submitted by Prashant, Aug 23, 2018 at 23:13

Dear Dr Pipes, your reader Sagi is considering a relationship with a Pakistani. She sees a red-flag in that she is an atheist and she does not know why he would marry an atheist when he us a Muslim. I see many more red flags. Here are they:

1. Why the guy has no respect for Sagi's atheism and won't allow the kids of the marriage be raised as atheist?

2. Why is Sagi's belief in atheism so shallow that she would let her kids be different from her.

3. Why the question is that she can convert to Islam if she wants to or stay the way she is? Why isn't the question that he can become an atheist if he wants to or stay the way he is.

4. Does he consider polygamy bad or he wants to keep his choice about getting more wives open?

5. Why is interested in getting a wife via social media when so many good Muslimas must be available right where he lives?

6. Will he want Sagi to move to his conservative homeland or he wants to migrate to Sagi's homeland.

7. If he wants Sagi to move to his conservative homeland, why is he not worried about her lower status as a dhimmi in the conservative homeland.

8. If he wants to migrate to Sagi's homeland, how does he explain the fact that no Muslim really wants to live in an Islamic land if a choice to escape to other countries is available.

9. Is he a citizen of the conservative homeland? If not, will he continue to be a non-citizen for the rest of his life? Why?

10. Is his outlook democratic when it comes to Pakistan and his chosen country or he thinks that Islamic countries can be theocratic while every one else must be democratic.

11. Can he spell hypocrisy and knows the meaning of this word?

Sagi should ponder on all such questions and go from there.

Best of luck.
