i dont see it as muslim people who are conning all these women, more like Arabic people. there is a difference. yes ok, the majority of arab people are muslim. I dont have a problem of your view of islam, but my view is the view of the majority of people living in Egypt. But i do have a problem about your view of egypt. About 'Bandit' and the crime levels. Yor telling people its not safe to walk the streets at night where did you get this information. I see young children walking the streets alone to go to the shop for their mum, and they are perfectly safe to do that.

I travel alone all the time here, as i need to for my work. i use the public transport, and nothing has ever happened to me to make me feel unsafe.

I think Irish Christian, that you should visit Egypt to meet with him, but do it on your terms. Maybe choose Sharm El Sheikh to meet, as its all westernised. this way its not a big cultural change. Also you can stay in one of the many hotels and not with him, as it would e the first time you would be meeing him. Also, many people say they were rushed into marriage, if you are staying in sharm el sheikh, there is no where to get a marriage certificate, only the islamic one. (only in Cairo can you get married by law) Good luck

And sorry to straight talk luigi , as you sound 'angry' with my view on islam. I was only sharing the view of egypt from someone who LIVES in egypt. And My view of Muslim people and chrisitian people living in egypt. Im chrisitan living in egypt, and going to church in egypt. And my view from a christians view is that muslim people here dont force people to convert. Any christian from my church thinks the same.
