I noticed that the number of comments have dwindled to a trickle, LOL.
Of course the ‘cheaters’ know this stuff already, but is no one else reading this? Is it embarrassing? Not ‘nice’? Is it something one doesn’t speak of in polite company? Is it ‘I won’t even go there?

Well I read your post my friend and I am sorry I am one of those who doesn't read to respond. It would offend you, perhaps the bad type of Muslims, or the good type, and irritate me to the point I need more anti-depressants. You always leave me wondering what I can do about the Arab problem. Nothing more than my government provides, and I pray for them.

Over the last two days, I have noticed that Blogit has been slow, which might account for the lack of comments and hits...A lot of interesting thoughts on Muslims and honor.

I so agree with this post Naut. I, as I have said before, am married to an Iranian man ( a Jew :-)) that has many Muslim friends who have inevitably become my friends as well through the years. Also in college we met and became very close with then dissident Iranians ( anti-Sha) some of whom later on became part of Homeini's followers and others came back to the US as refugees. Both me and my husband speak fluent Farsi and some Arabic which opens up doors when it comes to listening or watching Arabic spoken programing. I tell you all this so you understand that I am exposed to "their" culture often. Having said that... You are so right my friend... so absolutely right. No matter if they are educated (and sometimes worse if they are) one has to watch their step when socializing with Muslims. They are ultra sensitive to any type of perceived insults. Once I went to a friends house for his wife's b-day and after greeting us at the door, for they are the best hosts, I commented on his attire by saying he looked very "punky" ( it was the 80s and Punk was part of the culture... ) I meant it as a compliment on his good taste! :-) (
I was young loll) Well He changed completely, and red faced asked us to leave. When my husband asked him why he said a few unkind words about me and long story short it ended up in a fist fight! Needless to say I watched my step when among Muslim after that... To be fair, I have to say as well that its not their fault they have been taught they are not worth much...and that the world , our world, is out to get them. Truth is that when understood... when one knows the handicap one is working with, they can be the loyalest of friends and I have a few that I truly love and trust. But there in I think lays ( ooops you told me which lay to use when but I forgot ... sorry) the problem . Most of we westerners do not understand them "Arabs" and they do not understand us tourists ( a term they use for us meaning we are just passing by, do not really care and are always lost) ...how can we become friends or even live in peace if we can not even talk civilly? Be well Naut. xoxoxo
