My ingrained views? You don't know me. How can you possibly say your views are from experience and mine are ingrained? I have absolutely zero doubt in my mind that I have worked with a far broader spectrum of people than you could ever think of getting close to. I have worked in several industries.
Her experience does not remotely influence my views. She left her 'community' because she wanted to experience a life beyond what she'd been told she would have to live; she was completely ostracised when she left (what other community does such a despicable thing). Not only that, she received multiple death threats. Do you think that's acceptable in a western society, a supposedly secular country? You don't just walk out out on Islam....
What makes me laugh is, you have the audacity to call me ignorant, but you haven't got a clue of what goes on under the surface. My views are formed from working in the police and teaching. Both roles gave me access to the lives of British Muslim families. What have you done... worked in finance 👍🏿 what a window of valuable insight that must provide....
No I believe any family that ostracises its own is wrong, including white families that threw out their unmarried pregnant daughters for bringing shame on the family. Do I as a result think that all white people are wrong, no. The same with strongly Christian families who have cut off their kids inheritance as they dropped the church (yes, one of my former colleagues is in that group).
Yep, I have been a teacher, and I am an accountant by training, that isnt what I do now. My experience is based on those I know from across Sikh, muslim, hindu, and other cultures. I take people as I find, and dont draw generalisations across all from the bad that exist in every group. If you do that then all CFC fans are like you... and that isnt the case....
Stay Home. Stay Safe.
