Quote From: lutherniveenOh my God, this man doesn't love her at all. I am Palestinian too and I know how the Palestinians in Gaza strip are living they are looking for any chance to leave Gaza. I believe that Kathrien is very good opportunity to help Abdullah to have American passport and to live in USA in the future.
There are some Islamic groups in Gaza who try to converts the Christians to Islam and persecute the Christians and hate the Americans for being aggressive to us by giving power to Israel.
Last several months a Christian was killed in Gaza strip, his guilt is being Christian serving Christ. I believe that Abdullah is using Katherine and she has to return to her homeland. Love is not everything in the world. Her love to him will not protect her and keep her safe from him. Go to Gaza and you will understand much more. She is in danger indeed. She need somebody to help her.
Seeing as Abdullah has NOT applied fro a Visa to the US, shows me he really doesn't want to come. There are men who try to marry American girls for a Visa, yes, no doubt; however, they are usually VERY pushy about them coming to America. He is clearly not wanting to come to the US. In fact, both Abdullah and Katherine seem firm on staying in Palestine.
There are groups who try to convert people to Islam - why is there such a fear of that? Christian groups do it all the time. They are called 'missions'. In fact, I have heard of missions that go to Saudi and try to preach the bible in Mecca - the center place for all Muslims. In what was a Muslim country - Palestine, I think they have a right to teach people about the Qur'an. Also put in the equation Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world (that includes the West as well). There is something like 20, 000 conversions that take place in the US each and every year. I am one of those who have converted, although I am from Canada, where the rateof conversions are high as well. Let us not forget as well that there are Palestinian Christians who all live and preach as freely as please.
As for the person who was killed for no reported reason, that is truely a crime against humanity. Even the Qur'an talks about how killing one innocent person is like killing all of man kind. The only thing I ask is that while you continue to greive for innocent Christians of the world, which you have every right to do and I do right along side you, please also greive for all of the innocents that are being killed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and around the world as well. Just because we are Muslim, doesn't make us a criminal or a terrorist despite what the media might portray.
I have seen the previews of when Katerine returns home, and I am saddened that she may have had an abusive experience with Abdullah. My mother was abused my her white husband, and I still think about it every day. Abuse is absolutely disgusting and unacceptable. If, however, it turns out differently, I wish her and him the best. Abdullah must be serious about her or else he would NEVER, and I mean never, bring this girl into his family's home. Whether the family is actively practising Islam or not, she would not be allowed into the house. Arabic culture in general is not accepting of this. Rightfully so in my humble opinion.
I can guess that if him name was 'Johnny Smithson' and he lived in the UK this would be a very different story. My advice to her mother - your daughter has chosen this life for whatever reason. Educate yourself about Islam, educate your self on the Israeli/Palestinian conflict - do what you can for your daughter. Trust me, you wouldn't want to lose your daughter over this. She may say that if you do not support me, I can't be around you (this happens often, in any major conflict). Years lost can be so painful and so full of remorse.
I can't wait to see what happens on the next show. I wish Abdullah, Katherine and their families the best.
