[quote=Muslima]Pp, it's your prerogative to agree with whatever you see fit, this doesn't validate your point or invalidate mine at any level. It is your prerogative to believe that KSA with a population of 28+Million is representative of the culture and Islam of 1.6Billion of Muslim even though no country practices Islam the way the Saudis do, if it is your idea that the way Islam is practiced in the Gulf countries is representative of the way  1.6Billion  live their Islam even though Arabs only represent 20% of Muslims, so be it. After all, following your logic,  Nigeria is the perfect example of a Christian country and we will base or judgment of Christianity  from Nigerians because, hey that's a country with 80million Christians , more than the 20+million Saudis who supposedly represent Islam.People choose to believe whatever they believe daily, and some live in a very small world. But for the rest of us,  we will continue to believe and understand that many of the countries that are commonly called "Islamic countries", which in reality are merely "Muslim-majority countries" practice an amalgam of Islamic practices and pre-Islamic/non-Islamic practices. More than 10 centuries ago, when Islam became the predominant religion of the part of the world that today is Muslim-majority, those countries already had very distinct and very patriarchal cultures, as many remain patriarchal today. After embracing the religion of Islam, many of these cultures, abandoned some of the pre-Islamic cultures and traditions, but they hang on to many others. Just as every action of every Christian is not necessarily based on Christianity, every action of every Muslim is not necessarily based on Islam. On that note, I'm out,  very busy day waiting for me,  ma salaama![/quote]
