It is particularly significant that there is a noticeable increase in inter-religious, inter-racial and international marriages. Up to 15 years ago, it was shocking for members of different faiths to intermarry in the Arab world, but today they not only do but get heretofore heretical support from women like Madame Linda Sursock, grande dame of Lebanese society, and Mrs. Selwa Es-Said. "There are many more mixed marriages today between Arabs and foreigners, between Muslims and Christians," says Madame Sursock. "And I'm for it." Mrs. Selwa Es-Said agrees. "Intermarriage, just as it did in the old tribal days, unites different groups and contributes to understanding and peace."
The answer to my question, therefore, is yes, true emancipation is possible. And the Arab woman will achieve it—but wisely, on her own terms rather than those of the western woman. For although the Arab woman wants greater freedom and independence, more self-expression, more chances to prove her capabilities, more responsibility and less dependence on the men of her family, whether father or husband, she still wants to keep her special role as a woman. "Equality of the sexes," she says, "does not mean identity of roles." Over and over Arab girls say, "We do not want to change valuable traditions. We don't want to destroy man's supremacy or the feeling that men are stronger and that we are dependent." As a Beirut artist puts it, "We may want to change how we select a mate but not his position as head of the family. That is what makes us feminine."
To try to loosen family ties in one way and maintain them in another is a very delicate process, and although the modern Arab woman seems to be managing it nicely, it is anybody's guess how long she can continue. Mine is that she can continue as long as she likes. Like Emerson, I think civilization is "the power of good women." And I find that Arab women are not just good, they're great.

kuitenkin siitä seikasta että musliminaiset eivät voi naida kristittyjä, vaan artikkelissa tarkoitetaan muslimimiehen ja kristitty
naisen välisiä "sekaliittoja"... onhan libanonissa lähes puolet asukkaista kristittyjä...
joka tapauksessa, aika harvalla suomalaisella miehellä olisi varaa naida arabinainen, he vaativat sen verran mieheltä ettei suomesta kovin montaa niitä vaatimuksia täyttävää miestä löydy!
mutta jos vaan on mahdollisuus, niin kannattaa yrittää, nämä naiset kun pesevät halpis aasialaiset mennen tullen ja ovat naisia isolla N!
Niin on. Arabinaiset ovat ihan eri luokkaa kuin helpot ja tyrkyt aasialaisämmät. Ja kauniimpiakin ovat ja ihan naisennäköisiä. Kohta tulee taas asiankoveri tilastojensa kertomaan meille faktaa naiskauneudesta linkkeineen, heh, heh. Odotellaan vaan.
kyllähän se koira älähtää johon kalikka kolahtaa, joten ei ihmekkään jos aasinloseri hyökkää puolustelemaan pikku vaimoaan :DDD
"oka tapauksessa, aika harvalla suomalaisella miehellä olisi varaa naida arabinainen, he vaativat sen verran mieheltä ettei suomesta kovin montaa niitä vaatimuksia täyttävää miestä löydy!"
Minkähänlaista tulotasoa he sitten "vaativat", kun tunnut olevan asiasta niin hyvin perillä? Tuskin sentään miljardööri tarvitsee olla. Onko arabeilla tulotaso keskimäärin korkeampi kuin suomalaisilla?
ole pelkästään tulotasosta.... ;)
Arabinaiset ovat usein isonokkaisia ja osa melkein miehen näköisiä. Eivät tosiaankaan sytytä, joitakin kaunottaria lukuunottamatta. Ei keskiverto aasialainenkaan kyllä silmää kauheasti miellytä. Eurooppalaiset ja muut kaukaasialaiset ovat omaan silmääni kauneimpia. Jotkut toki rumia ja valtaosa melko taviksia.
