I hope your being watched, ur a total Nut JOb! It's obvious you're not, in any way, an American. There is, in fact, a Muslim culture and a Muslim religion, both of which are suffocating and negatively controlling the lives of the people of the middle east.

mdmiriam you say "I am an intelligent, in your face, outspoken Muslim woman who has always been this way and so has every female in my family and circle of friends. (and contrary to what you and others think, it is not because of living in the US) No matter where in the world you go, Muslim women are not hiding in the kitchens, barefoot and pregnant, under some man's thumb. That "rag" on our heads, as it has been called by Islam bashers does not diminish our sense of thinking. Maybe it even acts as a protector of our brains from the elements, who knows? "

It obviously dose not let in the sun ether. You are the most opinionated muslim extremist I have ever heard. anyone that dose not agree with you seems to be trash in your eyes. Yet you claim to be a educated and intelligent muslim women. I fail to see this when all you can do is belittle others to make yourself feel important. The problem is you.

Hi Miriam,
I know that our conversations in discussion forums havent always been to a positive outcome, however I do feel that it would be beneficial if I complimented you on the vigor in your arguments, and I hope you dont mind but I would like to continue our discussions in future as you hold a wealth of information which I think would be of benefit alot of people. I look forward to more constructive discussions.
Kindest Regards

What kind of Doctor are you? Why? because you seem to be very intollerant of epoples thoughts and beliefs, may be you should take a moment cool down and comment after you have stopped to think things through more.
Your not being a good rep. for your cause, when you come off sounding like a crack pot. Please remember that people from many medical boards, and other certified feilds of medicine could be reading here also, and your info is not that protected. You don't want to find yourself denighed privlages ate a hospital, or having your licences suspended, over some off the cuff comment made on line.

I understand that you are upset by people lumping all Muslim into one group, but please remember that just after the attacks on 9/11 we as a nation mourned for those killed in the attack, race, religion, nationallity did not play a part, but some Americans felt betraied by those from the middle east, and when we where not allowed to go after the persons behind the attack and misled into war with Iraq, and Afgannastan, it muddied the water even more.
What is not mentiond in all of these commints, and in the story is that The Turkish people where at war with the U.S.S.R. and supported by the USA, until we just gave up on them, and cut off guns,and ammo. But it was the Saudies that attacked us not the Turks. so please before you break a blood vien to your brain getting so mad, remember most of what is considered terrorist related in the middle east is criminal related in the USA, and we are still getting use to being able to blame thigs on terrorists. I know it has nothing to do with this horrid attack on a family, but I hope it helps you understand what some lesser informed Americans jump so fast on the blame the muslims band wagon, just know that there are many Americans not so blind to the muslim world.
