Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Daughters of Another Path (experience of American Women Choosing Islam) How We, As Muslims, Experience America +Americans in general seem to have a tendency to stereotype. They see us in a scarf and automatically think our husbands dominate us and that we are conservative. +This response will be the hardest because of the bitterness I feel toward this country. "The land of the free, home of the brave . .

." is nonexistent and the hypocrisy of this government really burns me up. The arrogance of this society that this is the best society and culture on earth in terms of women rights, human rights, children rights, minority rights is exasperating. The statement I make to people when they push their superiority on me is "This is America where everyone has a right to choose what they want to believe." Personally, I do not believe the American experiment is working.

The society has been stripped of all values and Christian churches have warped the Bible so badly by giving people the philosophy that all sins will be forgiven and whatever feels good do it. I know that no society is perfect, but I want to increase my children's odds of success by putting them in an environment of a one-culture society, the culture and society with values that we hold important-a society with a limited amount of choices as to acceptable behavior.

My husband and I can provide the high-tech opportunities of the West without poisoning our children with the value-deficient culture of the United States. +American women have chosen or accepted Islam through research and understanding and not by force or influence from their husbands. Just because there is a story of one crazy Iranian who abused his family-even if it is true doesn't mean the whole country is like that.

I urge people to think about what kinds of abuse and molestations go on here every second! I urge the American people to use their God-given brain and not to sleep through life! +It gives me great pain to know that Muslims and Islam are so terribly misunderstood by the majority of Americans, which gives rise to hatred, dirty looks, and rude comments, which impedes our rights as Americans to practice our religion freely.

This country was founded by religious people seeking a country where they would not be persecuted for their beliefs.
