Why is everyone so confused?

All men are cheaters and selfish, not just Arabs. The difference is that, in western countries, the law treats everybody the same, whereas in Muslim nations that might be different.

Take a divorce case: I cannot imagine that the law of Saudi Arabia would protect the wife. I don't know the law of Saudi Arabia, therefore excuse me if I write nonsense. The basic thesis of my argument is that all men tend to be cheaters and selfish, but there are significant differences between the religious traditions of different countries.

If you marry a Muslim, here in the west, he can always go back to his own country with your kids. That has happened to so many western women. Once you are in a Muslim country, you are a non-Muslim and you have got fewer rights. Notice how the evil Europeans make no distinction between Christians and non-Christians.

In conclusion: a lot of white women are fascinated with middle eastern men. Middle eastern men are seen as having some extra charm, which you cannot find in a self-obsessed westerner. However, there are cultural and religious differences. Also, you can only stay in your country, whereas he has the option of going back to his country.

As I understand it, when it comes to these kind of disputes, Muslim nations tend to favour Muslims, over non-Muslims. If you still want to go ahead and marry a Muslim, you must be prepared to accept the consequences. You might be lucky and you might not be.
