Well, you explained yourself very well and give very valid reasons of how some of us get involved with muslims. Yes, we cannot stereotype any persons in any religion. I have a problem with some of my friends here where I live. Some of my friends will say to me, "how can you go out with a muslim, when they did in the twin towers?" My reply is that my bf was not responsible for what happened. I have to constantly explain to my friends that my muslim man is not the Taliban, Al Quiada or a terrorist....period. The media has turned some of these fallacies into a reality for some of us. My friends are coming around very slowly, but I agree that each muslim is different and maybe some of their beliefs coincide. So, if those of us who are in love with muslim men or women. We have to have a deep understanding, if we plan to make our lives with these partners. The understanding has be on both sides....just had to make that clear. Anyways, good ideas you had put out there and thank you for sharing.
