"Consider a young girl under legal age, undergoing the ordeal of a forced
marriage, clashing with her family, without a legal help or a supporting
social network, who must provide proof against her own parents in the
court, in order to get rid of this nightmare. Isn't it inhumane and
shameful? What is respectable in this misery imposed on these innocent
young girls? What is respectable in destroying and wasting lives, hopes
and dreams of these girls? And of course, both 'Western' and Eastern
'intellectuals', shamelessly, tell us that "to talk of forced marriages is
an Euro - centric way of looking at things."
"Young girls in Muslim inhabited communities in Europe are victims of
tribal and Islamic values and traditions, as well as a racist treatment by
government authorities, intellectuals and mainstream media. These girls
are born and have grown up in European countries, and should be entitled
to all rights and freedom like other European citizens. Forced marriages
must be prohibited by law as rape; and mental and emotional damages to
teenage girls."
What about the women who are born and raised in Europe (or America or
anywhere outside of a Muslim country)? Why should they be forced into
unwanted marriages? Why should they be deprived of their human rights in
Eurabia? Go to new discussion web site, The Worm Hole -
