A Real Western Woman?

It looks like Karimah has a question over in The Issues of Western Women forum.

I am just curious how someone who has never lived in the west or been closely involved with a westerner can decide what is relevant to us?

Robert says its because "Allah is all-seeing" while Selina contends that "Allah is not western."

Milt seems to have the best response of all by saying:

Sometimes, it is good to have people write their misconceptions. What better chance to inform them about what is really going on? My issue is that it is impossible to stereotype western women.

There are as many ways they dress, relate to others, perceive reality, view working as there are women in the western nations. [...]

I [think] the one thing we can say is that women are free to decide for themselves how to conduct their lives and the only way they are in danger of getting stoned is at a frat party.

Well said. Although the discussion later on begins to unravel, with Mish desiring to ban American soap opera's. Good luck.
