to a Muslim woman

Please understand that the happenings on here are the general trend that on-line and long distance relationships follow, especially across international borders.

I have observed that many people who feel the need to go such length to find love often have gone through a traumatic experience (like a divorce) or they feel socially isolated at school, from family (their parents) or in general day-to-day experiences. Some also have mental illness issues.

So, you really cannot hang this noose around Islam. It's widespread, and to tell you the truth, it's been even more costly and dangerous for men to do this sort of thing.

Please understand, though, you are not going to find much appreciation for Islam or the Middle Eastern culture on here from women who have been hurt these men. Keep in mind that many of them are very hurt still and have invested much and lost much.
