#1 Some people resort to doing stupid things just to get noticed. I wonder if she bought a stick for her husband upon conversion, no thicker than his thumb, to beat her when she doesn't submit?

#2 Its so much easier now that I don't have to make decisions like what to wear. And I get noticed everywhere I go.

#3 It took her years to prove herself to her family-in-law. They thought since she wasn't born muslim she was worthless.

I don't get it. There are plenty of normal people in this world.

#4 I'd love to see a picture of this idiot, perhaps explaining her need to find acceptance somewhere by some man....

#5 Fat ugly women sometimes join the college womens center and make puritanical judgments from there. The ones who pretend to be l*sbian even "have sex" once per year or so. Basically, it's six of one or half a dozen of the other.

#6 It took me years to work out how to tie the scarf.

#8 "I've joked I had a gun or a bomb under my robe in my rebellion days. I still have rebellion days sometimes.

Don't be shocked if we believe you and act accordingly.

#9 I see a few obviously non-Arab women in hijab around here, and I wonder if they have any idea what their lives would be like if they went back to their husbands' native lands, or if they're in such complete denial that they'd be "shocked" if it ever happened.

#10 In situations like this, deprogramming may not be anywhere near as effective as merely allowing the individual to ~~suffer~~ live with her choice. No better real-world demonstration exists of just how ill-thought-out her decision really is.
