In West, a man wouldn't even buy his girlfriend an ice cream: JI chief

[Hamartia Antidote]

So true. @Hamartia Antidote

The guy is making a sweeping generalization (like all Chinese people can't drive).

But in this world some people pay, some people share, and some people refuse to pay. No 100% answer all the time.

Plus he is making a big assumption that if a man and woman are together they must be boyfriend/girlfriend or married. Maybe they aren't. Maybe she doesn't like him. Maybe they are co-workers on a lunch break. The girl would probably feel if she let the guy pay she is under some obligation to be his girlfriend.

In West, a man wouldn't even buy his girlfriend an ice cream: JI chief

PESHAWAR: Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) chief Sirajul Haq claimed on Sunday that Western ideals and culture were so materialistic that a man there would not even spend money to buy his girlfriend an ice cream.

“We don’t want the promotion of a culture in Pakistan where a couple won’t even spend Rs5 on each other for an ice cream,” he said at a clerics’ conference at Tehmash Khan Stadium in Peshawar.

The JI chief made the claim while narrating the story of a young American couple he had heard from another party leader.

Haq said the party leader, who had told him the story, on a recent trip to the US had seen the couple separately paying for their ice creams.

The JI chief also bashed the Western culture for its individual freedom and liberty.

Comparing societies, Haq said people in Western countries left their parents at old homes and met them only once a year but in Pakistan they lived as joint families.

Talking about Pakistan’s banking system, the JI leader said interests should be abolished.

“The country’s leadership isn’t serious about bringing an end to the interest system but our party will continue striving for its elimination” he added.

Criticising Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for referring to ‘Bhagwan’ as God, Haq said it was “ideological terrorism” and the premiere’s remarks were meant to appease the West.

He's lying! I know for a fact that my friend in America bought his girlfriend an ice cream. He should check his sources!!!!!!!!

Agree with you, i feel so much safer in Australia than in Pakistan, where my life and my property is not safe.
There is a saying of the prophet " A person is not a Momin, from whos hands and tongue another person is not safe" Unfortunately Pakistanis might be muslims but they are not momins.

Whoa whoa. Respectfully, let's not generalize here, sir. It's unfair to assume whether someone is a momin or not, since we all walk on our own paths and have to answer for our actions ourselves.
That being said, I agree to an extent. Many in Pakistan have turned to zealot nuts to lead them, which is not very good for the country.

Not a subject expert but I find people in the west would only spend on a girl if she was their girlfriend.

It mostly seems to be hipsters and "strong independent enlightened feminists" (anyone but Americans from the South/midwest) who can support themselves who seem to mind having a man offer to pick up the tab for lunch or a bottle of soda/ water.

In many cultures the individual who invites someone to lunch/ outing picks up the payments, and returns the offer later.

That, my friend...........is rape.

Nope, actually it is to get her consent more easily.. but here we are talking about a girlfriend which in the west implies a sexual partner from age 12 (minors with minors otherwise it is a crime) and above..Amazing isn't it..

Muhammad Abduh said "I went to the West and saw Islam, but no Muslims; I got back to the East and saw Muslims, but not Islam".
