Not sure if you're still interested but...

Hi I don't know if you're still interested in her. But if I were you I'd just say the feelings you have for her on her face. And check out what happens. Waiting is not worth it. There is no particular difference in the way you approach a muslim girl. The barrier comes after you ask her.

The thing is, is she interested? If yes, would she consider a non-muslim. To find out that she hasn't got that taboo, you need to ask. because not every Turkish girl sees it a problem. To give you an example. I met one couple last week here in Izmir. She's married to an American who is a research assistant in a university here. And they're expecting a baby... So take the chance.

I don't particularly think Turkish customs would apply between an American guy and a Turkish girl in the States. However, if I were a guy living there and interested in a girl, there would be a higher chance that Turkish customs("ways", which I hate) would have applied. So my chances seem less, still....
