Debbie Schlussel: "Religion of Peace" Marriage Proposal of the Week
In addition to all of the death threats and other hate-mail I receive from Muslims around the world--many in the U.S. where they are so "moderate" and "different" from other Muslims--I also get e-mails from apparently bipolar Muslims who hate me but, yet, want to marry me (perhaps to "teach" me my "place"). Here's the latest one:

Hi Debbi
I read some of your comments on your site and saw your picture. You are such a chick, so why you make yourself headache and talk about religion and Islam?Yes, Islam is a feminist religion, if you don't believe that, ask as many muslim women as possible about it. Do not content of your stereotypes on Islam and muslims.
You remind me of a Swiss firend who, like you, hates Islam. Guess why? Because her boyfired, a practising Anglican, told her that Islam is an evil religion. But, after 9/11, she did a U turn and started to look with her mind at Islam, and ended up with abanduning what she had about it.
Now Debbi, you so pretty, and I am willing to marry you, because I saw in your eyes that you are not that bad person. I saw, you are naive. Sorry. This is the true, and by marrying me you will get and closer look on Islam.
I am so serious
Your reply is highly appreciated

Fayez:
Thanks, but no thanks. I've had quite a close look--actually, way too many close looks--at Islam, without the necessity of entering into a hopeless, life-ending arrangement. I am quite confident that your religion is as "feminist" as it is "peaceful."
Regards,
Debbie
