Do you really expect us to believe that he's only interested in some kind of vacation? As a guy, I can pretty much verify that there's more interest here than just traveling partners or friends.

I never suggested that he thought any thing other than getting to Australia. All Im saying is its interesting how the blame lays with him. Why not her aswell? It takes two to tango! yes I have read the other comments on here even about other "sl" posts. As far as I can see this SL character has been being kicked around for a while. So why has it only come to a head now? Because she was still involved with him. When she should have known better.

So, you came on here to defend your father's culture? Is that what this is all about? Some kind of cultural stand? Do you consider yourself, Moroccan, English, or both?

No its no cultural stand. I just dont like the "tarring all witht he same brush" Yes I feel protective of my father, because to this day due to the poor behaviour of some of his fellow country men he is persecuted and my mother looked down on, as if shes stupid to trust a Moroccan man.I dont think that these "bashing sites" help either the women involved (fueling their hatred and misery) or people like my father who did work hard to be with my mother.They met when my mother was travelling in Morocco, and they used to write to each other. Yes Im not saying they have always been a perfect couple. My mum said when my father came to the UK the first few months were a real rollercoaster. But he is an honest and hard working man and they worked through any differences. My father is not a bully, I was not bullied into Islam, my brothers and sisters were able to choose as we grew older. Islam to me is the only faith, for my sister she is a Christian. I consider my self a very proud Biritsh Muslim, who is lucky enough to also have a loving Moroccan family. I wasbrought up in the UK and this is my home. I am online looking for a Muslim husband, as I am a Muslim and wish to have a husband of the same faith (as a muslim woman cant marry outside of her faith) Unfortunately I live in a small village, and There are no other Muslims here. I appologize if I came across as strong, to me when I think of my Dad and read these comments I feel that if you were to hear his story or to meet him you would all automatically brand him the same. I suppose the only thing I really wish to say is, if hes bad hes bad. So leave, dont let his younger exotic looks sway you. And please dont hate other people just because one Moroccan hurt you. In reply to the "I feel youve never been seriously hurt" Yes I have, sadly. He was a British Catholic man. And guess what, I dont hate Catholics, and when my sister married a British Catholic man, I congratulated her on finding a wonderful man, because he is. Please let these Moroccan/Egyptian men have their say with out trying to downgrade them or disbelieve them. Read their comments with the open minds you offer to the western women. Sorry again for babeling and my slight "ggrr" I wish you all luck in recovering from your stories. And if your in a happy relationship, dont bother with these sites. I cant understand the women who are in "happy" relationships but still want to go on these bashing websites. What are you trying to proove?
