Private messages to women

While I have to disagree with you Angela about Israfil, I do agree with you below.

Angela wrote: what I am defending is the fact that you called it ridiculous that some women find it uncomfortable to talk to men in PMs.  Its not ridiculous, its a woman's perogative as to her comfort level. Its not ridiculous, its her choice.  Many of the Muslimah's here were born Muslim and have been raised with a certain level of comfort, but not with non Mehram men.  Private places are all around, even in cyberspace.

Why, because if you can't say it in public, then you probably shouldn't be saying it in private!

I slightly disagree with this, some things are not for the public or for the whole world to hear. Some times some things are private not to be talked about to the whole world. Just as when private things are not for the whole world to know about. {of course this excluded assaults of any kind that need to be known to others} so please don't jump down on me for that :(

I think fatima's and herjihad's responses are good but I also think women especially of foreign nationalities need to know that not ALL men (or women) are going to know that some names are female names (or male) in such and such languages I believe these women need to take that into account beforehand.

Bismillah,

Brother, I don't appreciate you saying this about Sister Angela.
