She said the Muslim girls are always commenting on how they wish they had been born different. It makes me feel quite sad.

Not having been brought up with Muslims I am at a disadvantage to generations that have, only by discussing and reading views of those that have, can I personally make any sense out of the subject and must at times appear to be a little racist, as these people seem to be trying to take away hard won freedoms our forebears have passed on to us, I think spinners last reply was a good one, regarding the place of women especially in the 'motherland'. Are the boys given a more intensive religious education, and more importance placed on them being better achievers than girls?
