For ISIS

Well Isis, You sure are an amazing woman. Too bad all these poor women have been scammed because they didn't do their homework like you have done. Imagine, 2 people meeting on the internet, having a connection, falling in love, helping the one they love, and then finding out that it has all been one great big lie...A scam...And now you...telling them it is their own fault because they were so stupid and didn't do the research...It is called being trustful of another human being. Albeit a very stupid thing to do when a Moroccan man is involved. But I know you will find this hard to believe...But this site "Daniel Pipes" is not the most popular one out there on the net...And when you are in a relationship with one of these Moroccan men...you are kept in the dark because of the happiness and euphoria you are feeling because you are "in love" with this beautiful, wonderful man, filling your head with tons and tons of sweet nothings and sob stories..

And you with all of your wisdom and knowledge are condemning these nice, good hearted women as idiots because they did not do their RESEARCH...how humanistic of you...Are you aware that this is happening far more than is being reported on this site and women when they find out the truth of what has just happened to them are embarrassed and ashamed and too heartbroken to tell anyone???? So Isis, it is my intention to point out to you that just because a woman has not done her homework on the Moroccan criminals that lurk on dating and personal sites, doesn't give you permission to say that it was their own darn fault that they were taken by these scam artists...These crafty thieves are on the prowl...they hunt their prey (us women) by our age, and then tell us everything we have ever wanted to hear. (You are aware that these adorable, young, Moroccan men have manuals (spiral notebooks), with samples of verses, emails, and sweet nothings, that will melt a woman's heart and they all use the same words on each and every one of us. They gain our trust with their sincerity and polite manners.

The problem is, that people are blinded, once emotion has entered the picture. The normal logical thought proccesses are interrupted and clouded with poor judgement and anyone offering any type of observation is quickly discounted and labeled negative and therefore ignored. So I suggest that in order to be of any help to the future victims of these amazing con men, that you offer support and not point fingers at stupidity for them not being prepared. The only way we can try to stop this criminal behavior is to band together and write our congressmen, contact the Consulates, and any other organization that you think may be able to make a dent to stop this from happening. Since the government is seemingly corrupt, the best way to make a point is to do so politcally.
