Dating a muslim man

Im dating a Muslim man from Egypt. I started to read this site because of a friend of mine said I really need to understand Muslim men. So i decided to search for other sites and found this one. So for all that I have read, I was wondering if anyone knows him too.

He goes by Samir Elnagar we are to be married this summer in Egypt. So far he has been real good to me and hasn't asked for money or anything other then just for the ticket for me to get to Egypt. We talk 1 to 3 times a day and sometimes all day. Iv seen him on cam and also his kids, younger brother, dad and some friends. He wants me to be muslim. I started on his religion before he even said a word about it. I believe if someone wants to be with someone they need to learn that persons religion and were they come from. Really, I feel that is the only way to understand why a person does what they do.

Whether or not these people that did others wrong doesnt matter if they are muslim or not. My last married was abusive. I wish I never had to go through what i did with him. He was not muslim, matter of fact he went to my moms religion that was Mormon. Dont blame someones religion on something someone does. Its that person that did that horrible thing and not the religion. I know so many people that are in so many religions and its sad when someone uses religion to get what they want. I know its hard not to say that muslim man or that catalic women or how can that christain person be that way. Its with that person alone that should answer for what they have done. There is always a bad apple in the bunch. I treat people like god does and love everyone even if others dislike me.

I am here if anyone needs it and I do hope that if anyone is in a bad relationship to please get out I did and Im much happier in life now. I spent 3 1/2 years trying to convise myself that my husband loved me to only get physically and emotionally abused, in the end there was no love.

much love and respect
