Kristy:
The poster asked (for very good reason as it turns out) for a Muslim
response.
You responded with a flippant, ethnocentric response.
I responded to you that maybe you should let a Muslim answer as the
poster had wanted and gave you reasons why I felt you were being
flippant and ethnocentric. The issue is much deeper and important than
you were giving it justice.
1. We do not know that this is a woman asking the question at all.
2. We do not know whether this is a Muslim asking the question.
3. Maybe...just maybe, it is a non-Muslim male interested in a Muslim
female and thinking of a sexual relationship.
I'll finish in part two.
