Nadia: Stop. Listen.

Submitted by Viking Woman (Kuwait), Apr 24, 2008 at 05:00

I live in a country that uses many Egyptian laws for marriage and divorce. I would seriously like for you to do some in depth study of Islamic marriage laws before you even continue to speak to this man.

Secondly, if you care even one percent about your family, you would not even consider taking this path. I married a Muslim man decades ago, who also "respected" my religion until the marriage was all said and done. Any children you have will be Muslim. Please consider one major fact also. These online men are sooooo often not considered with your skin colour, since it does not matter.

Green is the usual colour of concern. Green as in "green card" and green as in your money, since very few Egyptians are wealthy.

If you love God, your religion, your family and yourself, you would run immediately to a Christian online marital site. Your need for non-judgemental advice will come from a fellow Christian.

As for his family, don't concern yourself with what they think. Concern yourself with what your family thinks, your country (did you do a background check on him?) and your self respect. Ask what is best for Nadia, not his family.

As for the racism? I've seen more blatant racism in the Middle East than in the West.

Please, spare yourself my life.
