Haven't read everyone's comments but it seems like its been a lively discussion.

My only comment is that the thread seems mislabeled. RSomeone's description of her husband would describe most Western men of all faiths. She married a Western man to get this level of equality, sharing of child-raising duties and emotional support. His particular religious beliefs could have been Christian, Jewish, Muslim or even Rastafarian.

It's not his Muslim qualities that make him so understanding but the fact that he was raised, educated, or employed in the West that makes him such an appealing man.

None of this is to take away any of the love she should feel for him though.
