I want to tell my opinion about most of them or at least those whom i meet,they are very kind and loving and funny....and really really really I would love to marry an american woman one day,I am in love now with one of em,and she is all my life and she is everything for me,plz all you people all over the world ,pray for me,and thank you all
If you marry an American woman you must learn to adjust to our culture as well. At least 20% of the life with her must have an American custom to it.
Don't expect her to be Egyptian overnight, don't expect her to give up all her expectations of marriage and love and adapt your expections entirely.
Otherwise marry a revert, they will do anything you tell them to, change completely overnight and think only of your needs.
Excuse me but...Im a revert...and you make us sound like doormats. Perhaps we obey our husbands more out of religious reasons, but we never allow ourselves to be treated as doormats.
So kindly step off.

A revert is a Christain who has had their Shaddah, chosen Islam. Most of the time these new Muslimahs become basically spineless creatures. Believing that they are biologically, spiritual, and intellectual inferiors to men. Plus they hate the west and hate Christainity vehmentally. Just look to our 'Religion' and 'Politics' section of the forum. Hate isn't a virtue of Islam, but this is the only reason that brought these women to Islam. [/QB]
Im disgusted by your comments. I am a Christian who converted to islam at age 18. Of course I stand up for my religion and assert that it is more truthful than Christianity. But in no way do I hate Christians, and in no way did hatred bring me to Islam.
Of course I know the types you are talking about, and that is sad. But dont paint us with such a large brush.
hate did not bring me to Islam, because I wasnt dissatisfied with Christianity when I first encountered Islam. In fact I wasnt even searching. But when you find something which is the truth, and you are only on something that is close to the truth, then you adjust accordingly.
Maybe you need to get to know more of us on an individual level. It sounds like youve just read some stuff a few Wahabi reverts posted online and now you think you're an expert on everything. I beg to differ.

Being an American though I've decided I could never adapt to the customs..and I surely don't want to share him with his wife. If I could get him a visa to USA...I wouldn't have to share <IMG SRC="http://www.egyptsearch.com/forums/smile.gif"> I loved Egypt....I feel homesick actually for it. I am going back in November...wish me luck...maybe there is a chance for me and the sexy romantic Egyptian
What does it say about him, that he is going around with you while he's married to her.
Perhaps when he marries you, he'll do the same to you. Think wisely.

I also have an Egyptian friend in Saudi Arabia whose father took 2 wives. But he himself said that he isn't going to marry but one woman. He believes that if a man truly loves his wife that he will not marry more than one wife. His mother recently passed. Now his father is with the 2nd wife. IT just seems so unfair.
if he is married to 2 wives then it was permitted by the first wife as it is little known that he must have her permission to marry a second. aslo, egyptian men do love money..its nuts isnt it! i suffer with one. he has a business and is halfway thru construction of his own apartment bldg in cairo, thanks to his tighness, but i had to suffer for it too....he made me work full time til my due date in pregnancy. then 5 weeks later go back full time and he doesnt even help clean the house...i do the husband AND the wifes job and im beat!!!
Im sorry but...what kind of a man is this? A Muslim man making his wife work? He cant do that. He's not even considered a man, by other Muslim guys.
Tell your husband to get with the program, you should only work if you want to. And you DEFINITELY shouldnt work while pregnant!!

LMAO. So true. And crying always works.

Yeah, what is it with crying? I *try* not to cry but sometimes can't help it, and it's like I've crushed my fiance...he'll do anything to make me stop......and 99 times out of 100 it's not even about him!
LOL Oh yes, crying does the trick every time! I try not to pull the waterworks card on habibi much though. Don't want to dull it's affect Posts: 2735 | From: my desk | Registered: Jul 2005
