kaleem, may be m2k is like lajjo may be he's not...I don't know or care.. but what I do care is when someone issues a statement like "The Arabs at least marry these girls and in compensation for their divorces are amply and very generously awarded, securing theirs as well as their families' future...", regardless of who it is, to undermine the underlying atrocious exploitation of religion and humanity. Think for a minute what it means to justify sexual abuse of young girls by the means of money and religion and you'll see the ugly face of such hypocrites who proclaim greatness of their religion.
i dont know whats its like in the US/canada but arabs hardly get a mention in europe. as all pakistanis should know the worst of pakistanis will outdo the worst of arabs anyday. m2k is so anti arab that he must be representing the zionist viewpoint. im of the oppinion that although zionists hate arabs, the arabs are easiest opponents they could ever find because they are generally good people who dont know how to deal with conflicts. however, post no1 does highlight a problem which needs to be dealt with, and dealt with harshly, very harshly.
No one is justifying it; it's simply pointing out a marketing trick some are using in the sex trade. As sad as it is, this is very much like what is going on elsewhere and to single out Arabs or the religious aspects of this (inspite of it being illegal) is bigoted. Period.
The Arabs at least marry these girls and in compensation for their divorces are amply and very generously awarded, securing theirs as well as their families' future...
But hey, who cares...Arabs are marrying 17 year olds and that really pisses us off...Really tells us about the way desis prioritize things...
Good point abt the sex trade..but at the same time, what's wrong is wrong is wrong and theres no point in pointing fingers and saying "oh tehy're doing bad."
Now referring to thsi particular article... there shouldn't be anything wrong with Arabs marrying Indian Muslim girls, that's fine n all...but what is the purpose for marrying them for one night? I doubt it's very honorable. It amounts to prostitution , with the girls parents pimping them off. That's despicable. Also, the article stated that the families were promised compensation but they did not give them anymoney.

To me it gives the impression that these parents just wanna get rid of their daughters for money.Like if they got money they would hav been happy.
Some of these Hyderabadi women accompany their wives to Gulf states and become nationals, but they continue to live a life of discrimination. Many of them are not allowed to meet other Indians as their husbands think its an insult. Many of them themselves try their best to hide that they r from India. Their own children feel shy to acknowledge that they have "indian" blood in them.
"Which writer is going to criticise the west? It's always easier to harness the power of popular sentiments which in this case seems to be anti-Arabism..."
People do "criticize the west" by writing articles about the problems it faces. You haven't ever seen any? I don't think you've been paying attention the past... oh... twenty years or so. Go look- you will find plenty. I don't think this is an "anti-arab" article as such- its just pointing out something that's a problem.
Also- a major difference between the cases you see on western TV of men raping 12 year old girls vs this article is the men raping 12 year old girls in the west are getting punished for it when they are caught, these people are not- instead you just see things like this article written which are saying how important it is to do something about the problem- if something was being done you wouldn't even have this article, it would be a moot point.
One final point- its impossible to discuss every single facet of an issue in one article. The article must have a focus. Not everybody is going to be equally badtalked in an article. Thailand will have to wait its turn, right now its the Arabs turn with this particular article. Go search online, you will find plenty of articles against pedophilia in the US (check under "Catholic priest sex scandals") and Thailand.
This is a problem and mullahs want to ignore this so they can keep getting their dinars from Arabs.
Yar aap ko mollahs buhat yaad atey hain yar... What in the world makes you think that this problem can only be fixed by Mollahs, provided they 'stop ignoring this'. Do you think a rapist will stop himself from raping somoene just because of the thought that some rafeeqi mollah thousands of kilometers away isnt ignoring him anymore? Aik taraf lajawab who tries to defend his arab heroes by bringing in the west, and aik taraf aap, blaming the mollahs in the east for everything. I mean come on, just because these guys were Arabs, does not make it Pakistani mollahs 'problem'.
^ agree. there isnt much of a religious aspect to this problem (exploiting poverty of indian girls) because i know arabs of very different religious backgrounds practice it, omani arabs are religiously very different from saudies. frontpagemag is a right wing rag that scours the world for anti-Islam articles and puts em up.
at the same time defending/justifying/minimizing it is pretty silly. and "6 million" iraqies have nothing to do with this issue.
pcg yep it does happen in pakistan, and arabs often get these "wives" from pak too.
spock i wasnt talking about you in the defending part, i saw lajjo's post that said something like "atleast they give them money for supporting poor families" and whatnot, alongwith mention of 6 million dead iraqies.
I am a 24 year old Pakistani Canadian who is brainwashed into thinking that Arabs are the masters of the Universe unlike you
Infact since they are muslims, I am going to criticize them even more so because they part of the Islamic community and are doing such un-Islamic behaviour
^ ^
you should seek help for that brainwashing, arabs dont actually register on any masters scale. the only possible conclusion is that you have been brainwashed into a zionist state of mind. advice - dont go to iran for a cure!
^^ The fact of the matter is that Arabs are doing this kind of behaviour and as Muslims we should condemn other muslims from doing such behaviour. Making excuses that white christians from europe indulge in kiddie porn is no excuse
