Just watching this program about Yvonne Ridley on BBC 2 and I was wondering if anyone could tell me a little about how Muslim women are treated as a part of the faith? Ridley got captured by the Taliban just before the war broke out where she was a undercover reporter, held captive and when she was released she decided to become a Muslim, pack her eight year old daughter off to boarding school, and went to work at a Muslim website (which she then got fired from). Slightly off topic but the guides that took her around the country were left to be tortured/rot in prison while she got out. The website she worked on was anti-western if there was such a thing, and she got in trouble numerous times as she kept publishing pictures of British and American soldiers dead or abusing civilians. So what I’d like to know from anyone with experience of Muslim culture, could her first hand experience really be so attractive she decides to change her whole lifestyle? Or can I conclude that she’s stupid and its just Stockholm syndrome?
