Why don't these relationship work?

Now I'm super curious! This question is for everyone - I want to hear personal experience and opinions... What is the biggest obstacle for a "western" woman/Middle Eastern (Muslim) man relationship? - religious differences? - gender inequality/expectations? - communication barriers? - the distance? - or are many of the men really just 'dishonest conartist scu...s'? (that's my translation for LCB haha) - other? - all of the above? These issues could arise in any relationship, right, so what makes these relationships so problematic?
