But as Michele Clark said--let me interrupt you briefly--from certain jaundiced view on the part of some, they get two things out of it. They get a wife who then they give out like she is some kind of property or commodity. And secondly, they Islamasize--and to me, that is--you know, if somebody decides to be Muslim, Christian, whatever their faith may be, and that is what freedom of conscience is all about, but to do it through coercion is a horrific human rights abuse.
