I cannot speak for Sudanese, Lebanese, Saudis, or Syrians. I only speak for Albanians, and 99% of your generalizations with regards to dating, marrying etc. are just simply alien to Albanian culture.

I do not disagree with you as I have never been to Albania. However, please answer my question. Did you see muslim females dating non-muslim males or was it just the muslim males dating non-muslim females?

I have not, as a matter of fact, come across any Muslim females dating non-Muslim males.

I have spent extensive amounts of time in Albania as well as the Albnaian-populated areas of Macedonia and Kosovo. Interfaith dating and marriage is common. And as Gerald posted earlier, you cannot tell who is what by the names. I had an Albanian translator who was Muslim with a Greek first name, Italian sounding last name, and a Christian boyfriend.

And anyone who has been to Tirana knows you sure cannot tell religion by the way the young women dress--what little of it they wear! I am personally acquainted with three Americans who got married to Muslim Albanian women--to the great acclaim of their families & friends. You cannot take experiences with religious attitudes from elsewhere and extrapolate into Albania--it is different.
