Thanks you for that very supportive post Lisa. I have not read any more of Istabulchick's posts as I don't care for her manner and tone. Hostility and aggression only serves to cloud her judgement and her rants and raves seem to me, to be fear driven and yet she stays in Turkey! Her advice would be far more helpful and appreciated on this blog if it was constructive and factual but unfortunately it has become a delirious mish-mash of hatred.

As I have stated before, my Egyptian husband is Muslim and he has also never asked me to convert nor does he want me to. He says that religion is a personal thing and also a personal choice and that statement comes from a Muslim who observed Ramadan and prays when he is able during the day, although, I must admit not five times. He is moderate in his thoughts and certainly appreciates and has embraced western life.

As we are well aware, readers of this blog are researching factual information and actual experiences so that they can make up their own minds about their relationship with a Muslim man.This is what you and I, "becreative", "bewildered", "yasemin" and others try to do and hope that we do it well and in the process also offer the chance to see both sides (good and the bad) of these relationships.

Thanks again.
