Well I think I have endured enough negativity for one evening. Does anyone have a 'normal' relationship between a Western woman and a Muslim man? I have experienced my mother's relationships with horrible Western men. I have been blessed and have always had wonderful men in my life. I don't believe this is about to change having since met an Eygyptian man.

Yes, I am well aware of the difficulties between two cultures marrying....language barriers, mother-in-laws, children and religious values and we are preparing ourselves to deal with these...I believe we can make it work. I use the analogy that there are more than one kind of tree or flower on this planet....diversity is what make this planet beautiful and occasionally they cross-pollinate to make 'hybrids'. It is possible just not so common.
