(15,139 posts)of Muslim men that demonstrated extreme disrespect toward their wives. It was in a restaurant. The six wives were covered head to toe. (I have no idea whether or not they had a choice regarding their dress, but I suspect not.) Each woman had one or two small children. The men were seated at a different table across the room. Because the women were tending to the chidren, they had less time to eat their own food. The men finished quickly. When they were done, they simply paid the bill, (presumably the women's too), got up, and walked out. They didn't even glance over at their wives. The women, seeing the men walk out, abandoned their half-eaten meals, grabbed the kids, and hastily ran after them.
I hope this incident was an abberation and those guys were just assholes. I hate to think that veiled Muslim women expect and accept that kind of treatment as the norm.
