You just try to date a Pakistani girl here, and then see what happens when her parents find out. The resentment is far, far stronger the other way - but only for girls.

Jack, anything non-Muslim goes. I happen to know a Sikh girl here, and they're usually looked upon as Muslims, which she obviously don't like, since she's not one (She's dark for a Sikh, she looks like a somewhat dark Pakistani). I don't know the actual marrying strategy of Sikhs, so I can't really say.

I guess it's not due to their religion, I'm sure there are equally patriarchal people of any kind of faith, it just so happens that the ones here simply are Muslims.

They're like Alabama Inbreds, that's the people we've got here, not professors from the universities of Turkey. If you don't understand that, then you don't understand anything about the situation.

No, in Islam, if you care about your religion, you will not let a daughter marry a nonMuslim. Men can marry Christians (Muhammad had a Christian and Jewish wife)...but the daughter must marry a Muslim, because the children are raised in the religion of the father traditionally.

Sure it has to do with patriarchy, but it is also in their faith. It is not like comparing them to inbred rednecks in Alabama.

They are just racist, xenophobes, etc.

Christianity actually states you should not marry outside your faith (well the Old Testament tells Jews not to), but most people ignore that now...

Many Muslims do not.
