Marriage and The men in general

Submitted by Sabrina (Canada), Sep 18, 2006 at 21:51

Dear Everyone,

I just wanted to clear the air up in one respect...A man is a man. Whether Muslim, Christian or Jew. They are the same sex and think exactly alike. I know this is a forum that Non muslim should not marry Muslims, I know I have replied probably saying the same thing. However I dont want anyone to think that I am anti muslim. I am a practicing Muslim myself, I just dont want other women to get hurt, over "love".

Muslim men are passionate people, no matter where they come from. From my experience however Arab men are the hardest to deal with, no one can ever get through to them except their mothers. Why? probably because we say "heaven is under your mothers feet". Muslims have a lot of respect for one another and demand the same back. Some may be violent, and try to say that it is written in Quran. ITS NOT. A lot of the Muslim world has mixed culture and and religion, and have confused what the Quran says and what i means, as one can do with the Torah or the Bible.

If any of you are with a Muslim man, and are not sure what you might be getting yourself into esp. marriage. Go to a local mosque and talk to the women there, or ask to see the Imam or Shaykh. They will never turn you away. Talk to them and ask them as many questions as you want, see if the mosques has any classes for women on religon, most of them do. Islam itself is a very important aspect in any Muslims life, so as "modern or Liberal minded or openminded" as the Muslim may seem, as they get older they become closer to God because they realize that their time might be near.

BUT PLEASE dont believe everything you see off of the news. Be cautious about what you hear and see. Osama = Wahabi muslim, no not all muslims are Wahabi, the main Muslims are Sunni and Shia. If you are with a Wahabi, I suggest you leave the relationship.

No matter what culture or religion you marry into, there will always be the double standard. In this day and age, for the world to get along, we need people to be openminded. and think critically.

Some women are lucky when they marry a Muslim and have a beautiful life together, and some arent.

watch if hes not a Permanent Resident or a Citizen, PLEASE WATCH FOR THAT, sometimes they will marry you just for the papers. Interact with his family and make him interact with yours. B/c one is Muslim and the other one isn't doesnt mean you need to separate from either family. Muslim men will never leave their family EVER. Family is a very important aspect in Islam. Treating your parents, bros/sis. with respect and kindess. Please realize that when the mans parents become old, you will be taking care of them as well. No retirement home will work.

Before you get into any permanent relationship, think outside the box. Whether Muslim or not. If any of you do have questions, or concerns about Islam, I can try to help.

Islam is a beautiful religion, that has been misinterpreted. Its is the religion of the Jews and Christians. It has been taken out of context. All three relgions believe in ONE GOD in arabic its Allah, Allah is not another God or creature or figure. Its the Arabic word for God. We are all from Abraham, and Jesus is a very important Prophet in Islam.... Sabrina :)
