LifeIs Beautiful - very well said. Agree wholeheartedly.
Ummjake - to add - not only Middle Eastern men, all men in the beginning are on good behaviour -
"Middle Eastern men generally act all nice and sort of liberal/open in the beginning, but give it some time and see their true colors and traditions rear their head..."
- Not only Muslims. Really. I've been infatuated with some guys when I was younger and luckily things didn't pan out - cos discovered later that there were a bit fanatical. .. Ok, way fanatical and God knew better.
"But honestly...having tea with a male friend is adultery? Give me a friggin break..."
- No, actually having tea with any Muslim in a private area (eg. a home) one on one is prima facie khalwat (I dunno what you guys call it here) and actionable per se. So that's the reason why I don't hang out with my company guys who are mostly Muslims. They can all condemn me and say that I'm stuck up and unfriendly, not a team player cos I'm not "one of the boys" but hellO?? I AM NOT one of the boys. But I make it clear to my boss why I do what I do.
Back on track - I only hang out with any of the Muslim guys in public, preferably with other women around or if not, still in public places - like the QLVG and QLSG, etc. Never in private. Not because I'm a prude but because my actions remain above board. Also one of the reasons why I'm usually alone or stick to the girls.
"As they say in this part of the world, "God never hits with a stick." I hope her husband remembers this..."
- Yes, indeed. IF he's the actual guilty party, then he will answer to God. Even Christians believe - "Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; leave that to God's wrath, for it is written: 'Vengeance is mine; I will repay,' says the Lord" - Romans 12:19
