Yes, those daily calls to prayer are SO soothing.
HAAALAALLA, AHALLAHALLA, LAAALAALA!!
>>I can’t think of any question for which Islam holds the answer.<<
Ooh! I have some! “How can a woman get treated as an animal in marriage?”, or “How can I get stranded in a Middle Eastern country with my children taken from me?”, or “How can I find the most violent and insane person to marry?”
One longs for the bad old days when the Lebanese and Syrians were called "wily Levantines" rather than "Arabs." However, although real Arabs, like the Saudis and Kuwaitis might not agree, I would say the Lebanese are Arabs. Tough call. They have a great deal of European blood, many are Christian, and before they startd being overwhelmed by the Muslim birthrate, the place was a French-speaking cross between Malibu and Paris, complete with bikinis on the beach and lots of cool bistros and bars!
mymy, showing your age again, 0!
Prayers for your niece. She is like many I knew in university - book smarts do not guarantee common sense. May she blessed with some common sense before it is too late.
Ha, ha! It's always great to get a fist-hand account!
Yes it would be obvious that there are middle east christains, hmm it is not always easy to find them though.
Muslim men seem more up front than christain men. but then again i have dated any christain men.
a christain man from middle east would be perfect solution for woman like this, but then again where are they?
I have worked with some people from Iran. They were good Christians.
People here on student visas, could be Christian. Some are. Iran had a fairly decent Christian populace at one time. I’m not sure what the populace is like today.
I’m not saying it’s easy. What I am saying is that when it comes to marriage, American women are taking a massive risk, if they try to play house with someone whose roots are in the Middle-East, unless they have religion in common.
Even then you run the risk of having your children ripped away from you to the Middle-East. Then it’s pure hell trying to get them back.
