Hey, I am married to an Arab from North Africa, and I found out the hard way they are excellent liars (some of them, anyway). Many Arab guys are also narcisscist... which means they will do anything to get what they want, and don't give a fig about you. If confronted about this, they will use circular reasoning, bandwagoning, criticism, verbal abuse, torrents of angry language, character assasinations, anything to avoid admitting they are lying.They all start out as charming, sweet, so sincere sounding. You probably got the spiel about the Koran furthering women's rights, how muslim women don't have to work, how they get to keep their own money, how close Islam is to Christianity. I took it hook, line and sinker, and now it all sounds like "blah, blah, blah, I want to use and abuse you, blah, blah, blah". Too bad I didn't read between the lines. Just get over the sucker. If you get out with your sanity and bank account intact, consider yourself lucky.
