To a Muslim woman

Hello Muslim Woman,

I just read your commet and you stated "The truly good men of the culture usually marry there own women...".

Everything you said made a lot of sense. I am a black woman married to a man from Jordan. I have been following this site now for a while and I see some of the signs of maybe a scam, except he doesn't ask for money. It is almost time for his interview to come here to the U.S.

He keeps our marriage a secret from his family, saying they will do all they could to stop him if they knew what he has done. (marry me and coming to the U.S) He never say the phony lines to me like the ones mentioned on this site. When he talks about his ex-wife and family, I get the impression that they don't think too highly of him. Your statement makes me wonder if he is one of the bad one since he married out of his culture and race. Do you know how they feel about black women. He doesn't talk sexually or show himself on the cam, and neither do I. I love that about him.

"muslim practicing there culture much more than the religion. They will follow the fiq (law) of Islam but they do not follow the ruh(spirit) of Islam,"

This sound exactly like him. We didn't have sex until after we were married (I am a Christian), he doesn't drink (neither do I), but he smokes cigarrettes. That I don't understand.

Tell me what you think of this.
