moroccan families

NO muslim family would CHOOSE for their children to marry a non-muslim, especially their daughters. Any family agreeing to this partnership is either doing so because they are unusually open-minded or for financial reasons.

In Morocco, a Moroccan wife is happy to let her Moroccan husband go out and find a 'nusrania' (christian), marry her and go to her country, with the understanding that the Moroccan wife and their children will be sent for once the papers are in order! Then, the man will create a problem with the western wife, for which SHE will be made to feel guilty, and leave her!

I know because I have seen the Moroccan couples reading the letters from the gullible western women, I have also come across such letters in my own house - they were given to my ex-partner for translation.

One woman thought she was pregnant to him, she was sending photos of her grown-up children and her home in Europe. He was laughing at her - his wife had just given birth and knew all about his relationship, she just wanted him to go and sort out her future. OK, this is a third world country but for 'GOD's' sake, does that make it right to play with these women's lives. If they don't already have a wife, there is sure to be a fiancée waiting in the wings. You will be paying for their wedding!!

To anybody who believes that their new Moroccan's family is accepting them out of love and tolerance - the next time you are sharing a cup of mint tea or a plate of couscous on fridays, listen out for key words. If you are older than your man, you will probably hear the word Shebaneea:old woman. other useful words for you gauwria:whitey/westerner, Nusrania:Christian. They won't even bother to learn your name, too hard to get their lazy tongue around, they are only in it for the money and don't care if they insult you but God forbid you insult them by refusing that cup of tea!

I don't really understand internet relationships but I know that a relationship with a Moroccan man is hard enough face to face. If anyone thinks they are in a serious relationship, please come over here and learn the language, it is the only way to know what is going on.

And another thing, don't think you can come over here and just hope for the best with your man but if it doesn't work, at least you have seen another country. They have many ways to convince you to stay with them. Date rape drugs are used all over Morocco, so is magic and so is poison! If you come here, come as a real tourist, don't trust someone you have met on the internet - get a tour bus!!!

Anybody arriving in this country is warned by Moroccan people not to trust other Moroccan people, I am not being racist, they say it themselves. Moroccans don't even trust one another so why should you trust them!

I don't want to be too harsh, I have many good friends here - that's how I have such insight, they are not happy about the way some of their countrymen and women behave. Of course I am not talking about ALL Moroccan men and their families

BUT the ones who set out to find a westerner on-line and a high percentage of those who work in tourism are in it for the papers and the financial security, believe me, they are thinking of their future, and not yours.
