Reality check for man-defense

I don't defend anyone on this site.

That's nonsense, Isis! The reason why you are so head strong on here is you are trying to find information and prove your own relationship to you. You generalize about Western men and think that the Middle East is some kind of paradise.

I just try to keep a level head and treat each each situation as it appears. Not ALL interracial relationships are evil or sinful.

I would not use sinful or evil, I just want people to understand WHY they happen and they are not as all glorious as the pandering Western media would like us to think.

Also not everyone is a devout Christian as you appear to be, so please do not judge others unfairly and withot accurate assessment

I do not see any judging on this site, Isis, from either side.

I do not think that Luigi's wisdom is not the be all and end all. He has not had a relationship with a Muslim man and he has no inside knowledge nor first hand experiences of the workings of these interracial relationships which he happily slams at every opportunity.

It seems to me, Isis, that you are the one doing the slamming at every opportunity, perhaps even out of bitterness from your divorce. As I said earlier, I sympathize, but that does not give you the right to pool the the rest of us in the same categoery as him.

And by that logic, you've never had an on-line relationship nor have you been screwed over by someone via a long distance relationship.

The thing is, Isis, the relationships in many cases are NOT interracial, they are intercultural. I have plenty of experience of what is discussed on this board and you just don't like it because it may mean shedding a bad light on Egypt or Islam or even Western women.

Unlike others on this site I DO know what I am dealing with.

If you did, I doubt you would be on here telling us that.

I DID NOT meet my Egyptian man on the internet as you did. I did not get sucked in by sweet words, phony promises and undying declarations of love from thousands of miles away over the interent within days of meeting him.

No, you just met him on a business trip. We've already talked about how those and meeting someone on vacation are not much different.

BUT, I have lived with tmiddle eastern people and spent a lot of time in their countries and I consider that I have a better than fair understanding of their culture and religion which I can contribute to this forum.

If you're idea of experience is staying at a luxury hotel or five star resort, you're not getting the entire experience, certainly not as if you had actually lived abroad.

Oh, and I've also lived with Middle Eastern men before too. I can't imagine them dating such bitter, angry women though, some of whom would sell out their country and culture and help set the woman's rights movement back 1500 years just to screw a Muslim male.

There are devout Muslims and moderate Muslims. There are devout Christians and moderate Christians. You appear to be a devout Christian and that is your choice but it is not my choice. However, I am a Christian and I will not debate my choice with you or anyone else nor at any level.

For a Christian, you sure seem occupied with Islam. No doubt about that.
