Dane:

Seriously, the reason why we have so many stories of unsuccessful relationships are because, well, MOST of them FAIL.

Have a BACK-UP plan? You've got to be joking. Would you have a back-up plan if you were marrying someone stateside?

Come on! Marriage is supposed to be about trust! And how can you trust someone when you have to have a a back-up "in case" it doesn't work out.

You've only been married for a month. There have been women on here who have been married for 3-5 years to these "men" only to have their worst fears confirmed. Getting married isn't the finish line to scams, in a lot of ways, it's only the beginning.

So yes, I suppose so far your story is a success. Only time will tell. It may work out for the best, it may not.

And also, why should the woman be accepting of Muslims and Islam? Why shouldn't it be the other way around? Maybe some women don't want to raise their kids Muslim. You're a Christian, you know in Islam there is NO Redeemer. Can you blame them?

When men scam women over the internet, they are VERY patient. Meeting family members, friends, ect. Virtually doesn't mean much. It's happened to a lot of women on here, and well, those turned out to be scams.

Usually, it's the WOMEN who don't do their research? Yea, it' not the man's fault? And I don't think you'd like what the research amounts to: NOT dating Moroccan, Arab, Turkish, or Muslim men over the internet! OR maybe NOT at all!

Listen, it's to nice to know that things have worked out for you so far. But again, I cannot emphasize enough that on-line relationships are a bad idea and usually are a waste of time and money. It doesn't matter who you are dating or what gender race religion they are.

Respect, you say? I don't know if you realize this, but MOST people will date someone of the SAME ethnicity and religion. Why? Compatbility.

As for me, I've lost just about all respect for Muslim men, save for the few I know. And from my own on-line experiences, that includes Russian, Nigerian women and Christian women who say they want a decent, well-to-do man. And I sick and tired of their bare-faced LIES. Yes, a lot of times it IS the woman's issue if she's doing it just so she can get some young, thin, tanned Arab. Then it's all about appearances, and yes, I know from experience that most woman, despite their denials, care about that much more than anything else.

I've heard this same song and dance before, and Dane, you're not in the clear quite yet.
