Response to Migizi Equay

There's got to be some balance on this site for a change and Luigi obviously has his own agenda and you very thoroughly flushed it out.

There is balance on this site. The problem is that most if not all stories on here exhibit some issue that could lead to disaster.

Most relationships described on here have a reason to end in a bad taste.

I fail to see Lisa flushing out anything. Her posts are almost always about her relationship and reflected inward on her specifically. A very selfish thing to do, I might add.

Hardly a call for flushing anything out, except for massive essays of information on why her relationship is real.

I can say that I've experienced the same response that you did, that is, immediately, if you post something here it means you are naive about Arab men, need to be educated (indoctrinated) as to your stupidity,

Discussing and especially defending your relationship or your partner's religion or national origin on the internet to total strangers who are not even insulting said parameters suggests to me that one is much more naive about relationships amidst other social (and in some cases mental) issues than about a particular an ethnic group of men.

The behavior described on this site is hardly exclusive to Arab men. That has been pointed out on more than one occasion and anyone who says otherwise is not familiar with this blog and/or is just making excuses for some misguided selfish reason. Those are the most probably explanations I can think of, and the defense posts generally confirm that.

from a position of great self appointed authority as that of Luigi.

To what "authority" have I appointed myself?

But, the truth I fear is worse than that... this site exists for one purpose and one purpose only, to bash all Arab men. Well, I refuse to bash all Arab men, same as I refuse to bash all men, and I've known lots of women who will gladly do just that.

You know what? A lot of people on here, including myself, refuse to bash all Arab men. :)

So, that is an absolutely unfounded accusation to say the least. The free speech parameters on this board allow for all kinds of discussion.

You fail to realize that most women who make negative remarks about Arab men are hurting and say things out anger.

If you have a problem with that, my advice to is take it up with the posters directly.

yes, there are things about Arab culture that aren't that great, but listen, there are things about American men and our culture that leave things to be desired too.

The title of this webpage is "Advice to Non-Muslim Women Against Marrying Muslim Men" It is not about a particular nationality, and if you feel so strongly about American men specifically (who I have also criticized on here), perhaps you should start your own blog. After all, this entire site discusses Islamic issues, not American domestics.

It is also worth noting that only 20% of Muslims worldwide are Arab, and many Arabs are Christians. The "oh, it's just his culture" excuse has also been discussed on here before.

I just want to say again, i appreciated your response to Luigi and his tendencies to think he has all the answers based on his own life experiences which does not make him an expert on anyhting.

First of all, I don't think I have all the answers. All I do is help women get in touch with their feminine instincts and get them to use common sense.

Secondly, a lot of what I say are based on investigative research and facts, not just personal experience. I also discuss female biology on here. Have I personally experienced that? I have implied on here several times that personal experience is in an of itself a good source.

While I'm sure you'd love to believe what you are writing about me is true, the fact remains that you are the one who is searching for information, not me. And what I say on here seems to bother you.

The question I have for you is why? I'll bet it's some kind of personal stake in the matter.
