We're not all surrounded by Muslims, ya know.
I don't know how many 'Meet Muslim Singles' ads you see on a regular basis, but that's a first for me. And I said "WTF?" And a match-making service involving any religion where a woman can be killed for being seen in public w/a man who is not her husband or relative is absolutely, positvely, without a shadow of a doubt, beyond question WTF. imo And before any of you get in high gear, I'm speaking of the ad, not the religion, not the woman in the ad, not women in general, the ad.

I don't know about better...the whole cover every inch of the woman thing suggests a severe insecurity of some sort, on the part of the men who make such rules.

That ad is clearly not aimed at muslims living in traditional muslim country. I would imagine it more likely to be aimed at American, or other international muslims. It's one of the modern innovations open to young muslims in countries where the life they lead isn't like that in traditional muslim countries, where there are more systems in place for them to find marriage partners. The women being stoned for being seen outdoors with a man other than her husband doesn't really come into play for most American muslims, I imagine. [eta]sorry Grav. Not intending to get at you. I understand you personally aren;t surrounded by muslims. But there are a fuck of a lot of them in the USA. Many of them born and bred American citizens.

By "better", I mean more WTF.

For a while I kept getting targeted email for Jewish dating sites, kosher catering and flatshares for Shomeret Shabat (in places where the communal areas were lit all Shabbat and the lifts automatically stopped at every floor). That was a bit WTF.
Then I remembered I'd entered a few competitions in a Jewish magazine, through a Competition Finder website. What? They had great prizes! I did delete myself from their contact list. They may have lied about sharing my details but I didn't think it fair to take that out on individuals looking for love/ customers/ someone to share the bills.

You realise, I hope, that this isn't really a 'muslim' site, it isn't run by muslims or anyone interested in Islam. The people running it have countless sister websites for just about every racial and national group on the planet. It's just a business.
And yes, there are countless other sites like it out there with most of them, as Dana suggests, aimed at muslims looking to meet someone outside the country where they currently reside. |

I think some of you are so unhappy in your lives that you are only happy when you're fucking up somebody else's happy.
Infinite Monkey was right, some of you just suck the fun out like it's your purpose in life. I wish I'd never posted the goddamn pic.

Jesus Grav, I said I was sorry and didn't mean to get at you. There's no need to get personal. That image struck you as wtf. The fact that the image struck you as wtf ...struck me as wtf.
Maybe I should just stop fucking posting here.

Hey Grav,
I can name three personal friends off the top of my head that fit this description. I don't understand your shock/smiley.
