correction yourself about Muslim men

I was making much reading in this forum. It seems like much people make a problem in wording what they are saying. First, when you talk about marrying Muslim men or women, you need to know what you mean by the word "Muslim". Muslim is not an ethnicity , its a religion. I do not think that marrying a Muslim man is a problem but maybe marrying an Arab is what you mean. It is like saying marrying christians is bad rather than saying marrying Westerns. I am sure marrying a christian or a muslim or a jew is a good thing simply because religious people have more tendency to be family oriented and fear God.

Indeed, a Muslim/religious man fears to divorce or treat his woman in a bad way because Allah made divorce a hated thing to do.

The idea is that you make Islam the problem behind the men treating non-muslims bad which is another issue. Well, you need to know that this is not right. Take for instance the statistics that shows that the highest rate of women abuse is in the USA whatever the US woman would claim freedom that she has freedom and say that Muslim women are oppressed.

Then if we are talking about Arab men, check out American men and check even you Western women how many times you or your mother have been married before going for a Moroccan or Egyptian...
mostly those who go after them started dating American men, then switched to Africans then when they lost hope started searching overseas. That is not a stereotype but most women that came to Morocco coming to marry Moroccan men are either fat, older or retarded. My Moroccan friend had a Canadian woman flied to come marry him. Guess what, she is very obese and cross eyes and above all, she does not like to walk. He was a decent looking man. My fathers comment was:" That is a suicide". If you have good men in your country then why going after other men in the Arab world? just make all men as one whenever they are from and take your chances.

Personally I tried American women which i found out they are not good enough for me though never married one. Things become more complicated down the road when you have kids and you want them Christian when you even do not go to the church while the man want them muslims. We would always argue about religion or politics. But that does not mean there are no good ones as well. Keep optimistic and use your mind before using your heart. You are mostly adult enough to know what you are doing. Nobody can give you a good advice but yourself.

Well, you may not like what i just said but is it as you see it

Best of luck
