There were two or three English-Pakistani girls there. One went to Pakistan on holiday and came back married to a complete stranger (against her will) so that a whole bunch of them could escape Pakistan and take advantage of the better life they would have in an infidel country. A few months later another girl was to go to Pakistan on holiday. We joked with her and said that she's off to get married like the other girl. She was adamant that her family are not backward and would never do a thing like that to her. Well, she came back married, just like the first girl.
Now, forced marriage is against the law of any non-stone age country, but both girls were too scared to do anything about it. This isn't as newsworthy as flying airplanes into buildings, but it does demonstrate that even the so-called majority of peace loving Muslims still do nasty shit to their so-called loved ones, especially the women.
I did date a Cypriot-English girl whose parents were normal (Praise be to Allah), but I think the Turks are not as brainwashed as the rest of them.
As for what to do with them, feck knows.
