So Western countries are gutters.

I came across these two posts in Life 1.

So in short.

  1. Western countries are gutters. Everybody there is characterless goof . No morals and ethics are present in these societies.
    2.Most students from Muslims countries end up being characterless zombies. They end up having girl friends and start drinking and clubing because there is no one there to keep a check on these young immature students.
  2. Western people want to change Muslims in their way in order to demolish their conviction to their religion. ( I wonder what will they get out of it ? )
  3. West is all corrupt and full of sexual lust.

How true are these observations ? How many people you know who would fit this description of Western society ?
What kind of people from Eastern societies have these notions about West ?

  1. Incorrect.

  2. Incorrect.

  3. Incorrect.

  4. Incorrect.

I've lived in the U.K for 18 years and I have more morals, better ethics and more understanding of my religion than most of my family who live in Pakistan.

The above observations are noramlly made by people who see movies, and t.v shows and think omg everyone abroad must live like that. No, we have some bad eggs living amongst us as does any other country, when students turn 'bad' its on their own accord. You say they need someone to 'look after them' no, they should have been brought up being told all of this is wrong. It is down to the individual, not the society.

Drinking, alcohol and sex - they all are alive and kicking in pakistan too.

No western countries are not gutters!!!!
They do have values.

Re: So Western countries are gutters.

I cannot agree with you more.

I have been living here for long time since the time I was young and restless and I have many friends from Pakistan , India , Bangladesh , Indonesia , Jordan , Palestine , who did not have anybody to keep a check on their activities but they all turned out to be good citizens of these societies.
I have hundreds of thousands of neighbors and friends who have been living here for centuries and who have good morals and standards and are functional families.
Yes there are night clubs here , yes booze is available freely , yes there are drug addicts and criminals in these societies but so does all those Muslim countries. They have night clubs , if you want to, you can buy booze and drugs in Muslim countries too . In my school , college and university days in Pakistan I was friends to boys and girls who had sexual relations with other boys and girls , there were even boys who had sexual relationship with married women. :smack:
But was everyone doing so , no , same is true for Western societies, not every living soul here is corrupt , deprived of morals , and madar pidar azzad

Re: So Western countries are gutters.

^ exactlyyyy. Its depends entirely on the individual and how they want to live their lives. I know a lot of students who have come over from Pakistan to study and Allhamdulilah most of them have graduated with excellent degrees and have gone back home, with their reputation in tact. I agree some of them do go out drink, etc but theyve openely admitted they used to drink in Pakistan too, one of them was even proud to tell us he wasnt a virgin and he was shocked to hear how little we had done in 'that' department. Its all about the upbringing you get, in my eyes, nothing is above my parents, no one could ever give me the joy they do, nor could any amount of drink or drugs. The western countries will give to you, what you want to take. If youre living there for the education, you'll get it, but if you're living there for a life of enjoyment and things that you know are against our religion, then so be it, you'll get that too. Its wrong to discriminate against them purely because of their lifestyles, its there yes but they dont force it on you in anyway. The decision is there for you to take.

that is so not true… and kurripunjaban you are right

those who think this way are spending way too much time watching tv and observing … they need to take up some other hobbies …

alhumdolilah i have been in canada for so long but i think my parents have raised gud muslims and gave us al the required teaching … and i proud to call ma self muslim

Re: So Western countries are gutters.

This topic just...makes me so angry. Everytime I go to pakistan, someone makes an ill educated comment such as 'bahir kay bachay achay muslim nahin hotay' or 'vo karaab hojatay hai'.
It's just like actually, how about you check your daughters phone to see how many guys shes texting and then check mine, and we'll see who is 'karrab' and who is not.

Re: So Western countries are gutters.

mirch i think next time u actually need to look at the source of the post. anything coming from that source doesn't deserve another second look at it.


Mirch aisi baatein woh log kertey hain jin kaa haal "angoor haath naa ayein to khatay hain " when they cannot go there and do anything they start talking like that.
