I am not though complaining about it at all. I am merely putting it in its context in the wider world outside this little one. You can bang your drum in this echo chamber to your heart's content. It doesn't bother me in the slightest. I have simply concluded that attempting to reason with you is a total waste of time and unimportant. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (27 Feb 2021 10.24pm) Yeah, be assured that the overwhelming impression given in your constant references to me is that I don't bother you in the slightest. Ah well, yet another reminder of your troubled relationship with honesty. Edited by Stirlingsays (27 Feb 2021 10.38pm)

Shamima Begum. A young British muslim woman, one of many.
1% of these girls ? maybe 5% of these girls ? what are the statistics for 'integration' ? Some but the percentage is low I'd say. Even where the girl wants to the families sometimes cause enough to a fuss to get them out of the picture. Racism that some turn a blind eye to due to where it comes from, but racism all the same.

Interviewed these people every day when working in Islamabad. It is the same for males and females, saw/heard some horrendous stories. Many more than happy but some were devastated but unable to go against family members wishes.

Edited by Stirlingsays (27 Feb 2021 10.38pm) If you could see the broad grin on my face whenever I read and respond to you you would realise that you don't bother me in the slightest. You are a particularly extreme example of a type I have encountered many times during my life. Such people don't bother me. They exist, are puzzling but mostly they are just an amusing distraction. Sometimes I use your extremism to sort out my own instinctive rejection of it.

I didn't realise it was quite the same for males, or rather had assumed that have more choice in the matter. Interesting to know! And yes there's lots in any culture to be said for a strong family, but where their wishes strip away the autonomy of the individual it would seem more like you're trapped in a cult where you're ostracised for going against others interests. That can happen in all families of course, but is more commonplace in certain cultures.

Ok boomer. Is that intended to be some kind of insult gleaned from the right-wing media sources you appear to favour? Along with things like "woke", libtard" and "normies"? Do you ever have an original thought?

I do find with any religion I get on well with those who basically adopt a watered down version of it, as much out of basic level obligation as belief. And I appreciate that during various periods of time or cultures different religions or belief system could be painted as 'the problem' (I wouldn't want to be a Uighur right now for instance). Still, we shouldn't shy away from realities either. Along a Hitchens school of thought, if people truly feel that they have God on their side, you don't have much of a look in.

Why does it fall to me to educate you? But no, it's not attached to a political movement. Edited by Stirlingsays (28 Feb 2021 3.58pm)
