My best friend has a niece who married an Egyptian and now they have a child. He lied to her saying he was waiting to get into med school, but now it's clear that he will probably work in a pizzeria the rest of his life. I doubt he even went to college. He named their child an Egyptian name, continues to practice Islam and sends the little money he makes back to Egypt. He's just biding his time in Pennsylvania Dutch country until it's time to make a move. My friend sees it all clearly, but the stupid wife does not have a clue.

tel her to watch 'not without my daughter'

[Miss Marple]

Just catching up. I want to again state that I think every American girl, before adolescence, should be made to watch that movie "Not Without My Daughter" starring Sally Fields. It is the true story of an American woman married to an Iranian doctor. They went back to Iran for a visit, he went bonkers and fundamental Islamasist on her, and she had to get herself smuggled out of the country with her young daughter.

I never worried about my daughter getting involved with a Middle Eastern guy. Every time she ran into one at school, she remembered that movie. HA!
