Dear Miriam

I think we have both misunderstood each other. I was not saying that you personally are hiding behind your religion. TThe point I was trying to make is that how can a person who calls themselves Muslim use someone for personal gain and in the end think they are worthy of marrying a virgin? It just sounded like the righteous Moroccan man will never be with a lowly immoral western woman. Anyway, sterotypes exist in all cultures! I did not assume you are muslim, but the men you are referring to are, as in the end, they will marry a virgin.

I was just trying to give the heartbroken lady some hope and point out that there are some good western women that represent themselves well and are marriage material, even for a Moroccan Muslim.

We are arguing a moot point! After Luigi's long message, I realize that these are just opinions and I am not trying to change anyone's mind.

Anyway, I have to excuse myself from this forum as I am busy growing a baby and enjoying my new husband!

I wish you peace and excuse me if I offended you. I just have a different experience that I wanted to share.
