Julie: "familiarity breeds contempt, not ignorance"

Julie, the correct quote is "familiarity breeds comtempt." and I am sorry if you think I am naive. I also do not live in the U.S. so you have assumed also.

My point was how this scenario ends when you are in their land. A forewarning if you will. I also said I would never convert or leave my country, when I was 19 and glowing in love back in the 1970's.

Then I moved permanently to the Middle East.

That would hardly qualify me as ignorant, rather it qualifies me as very informed.
