I have not stated im the author of the above
What i stated was where it came from

"This was written by a woman born in Egypt as a Muslim.

Joys of Muslim Women
By Nonie Darwish"

Kisley has clarified. It goes on to say It is to a large extent accurate

""Analysis: Despite the attribution at the top — "Joys of Muslim Women by Nonie Darwish" — this text wasn't written by Nonie Darwish; indeed, the bottom two-thirds of it refer to her repeatedly in the third person. Darwish confirmed via email that she did not write the article, though it is, in her words, "to a large extent accurate." She said her 2009 book, Cruel and Usual Punishment, better represents her views.

You have niether responded to anything in the thread or my responce to your criticism of the thread which are still valid along with my views which you also fail to address which is your prerogative

Profile of those involved - Tourists
When asked about who was involved in the abuse of children there were varying responses -
some interviewees saw only males tourists as the offending group, some saw women and some
saw both men and women. In all of the interviews we clarified that our focus was on children i.e.
young people under the age of 18 as defined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Older female tourists are often seen with younger Gambian men, but in the majority of instances it
was felt that the young men were over the age of 18 and fell outside of the focus of this research.
So, when the clarification of age for a child was used there was a high level of agreement that the
main offending group involved in child sex tourism were European males over the age of 45.
What nationalities and types of tourists are involved? When asked this question the following
nationalities were cited: Dutch, British, Swedish, Norwegian, Belgium, German, Danish, French,
Italian and East European. It would be expected, given the large numbers of Scandinavians, British
and Dutch who come to The Gambia as tourists, that some nationals from those groups might be
12
cited as abusers. However, there are no direct flights from Italy, France, Germany, or from Eastern
Europe (although Russia is planning to send flights in the next tourist season). One explanation
might be that for some Gambians there is a difficulty in making distinctions between the different
European nationalities.
Another explanation is that nationals from the countries without direct tourist flights are in Gambia
not as tourists but as businessmen. When we brought this distinction to the attention of the
interviewees it was then possible to group men who were seen as abusers of children as men
who:
- are tourists or repeat tourists,
- come on short business trips
- are in business and resident in the country
- are retired and living full time in The Gambia

As I previously stated Im not a religious person and know little about Islam and find the western religons all doom and gloom
For me the one spiritual uplifting religon is the Gospel church which I been to many timers when I have visited variouse countries around the world and in the UK

You are right yes you can go on debating this till the end of time but come on Turk forget all the insults and slagging of and agree the one thing that I can’t see as right in Islam is killing in the name of Allah and child brides.
There are many points one could argue about in Islam that have no place in this modern world
