American Women Marrying Muslim Men

Missy,

I have done a little searching on the internet talking to women in various foreign countries and found that a lot of them are running scams as well. However, I would never debate my personal life with any of my relatives in an open forum such as this. To discuss concerns is a valid proposition, argue no. Missy if you truly came on this sight to get facts, get them, discuss them with people who have experience don't argue about it. You say you are 40 yrs. old and a grown mature woman, if so why are you arguing with your mom. She is not the only one on here.

It appears to me from what littlle studying I have done on this matter, this may not be a great idea, any time you leave the US and travel to another country there are risks. Go on the Governments web sites and read about the atrocities in many countries outside the US, read about the rape, the mistreatment of women, the human trafficking. Hell, we can face this right here in our own backyard we don't have to go halfway around the world to do that. Especially trying to live in a culture that does, and always will hate the infidel and yes, you are the infidel. Regardless of wether they are sheites or sunnis, read history and you will see they think that all non muslims; Jews, Christians, English, Americans, and WOMEN are to live a life of servitude to Muslims. This has been this way since the so called prophet muhammad walked accrossed the desert or where ever he came from.

Have you read the Koran, probably not, have you read the Bible, Probably not. You speak about your ex as if he was an anarchist because he had a gun every room and played with his pistol. Did he ever threaten you while you were living together? Has he ever hurt anyone with a weapon? Your mom may be a little over protective but it appears that most of the other people on this site either have faced the same thing you are going through or know someone who has.

Be smart girl, for heaven sakes you are, how did you put it? A 40 YEAR OLD GROWN WOMAN. I would be interested to know how your daughter is reacting to all of this. Children study other cultures and other countries is she reacting to this well? Please don't make the mistake of putting on blinders and saying yes she is ok with it because she said she was, as you know kids will say things they don't mean. Especially if she wanted you to leave your ex also, she may just want to see you happy.

For your safety and welfare and the well being of your child, look both ways before crossing this street and please don't get hit by a truck, becuase you may not walk away from the accident and then what happens to your daughter. It's obvious she can't go back to her dad if he is as bad as you have described. Be safe, Peace out.
