Help Me!Reader comment on item: Advice to Non-Muslim Women against Marrying Muslim Men Submitted by Brittany (United States), May 13, 2015 at 11:30 Hello everyone, my name is Brittany and I was wondering if there is anyone out there that can give me advice or maybe even an answer. I've actually been on this site numerous times before, reading the sad and also scary stories of women who have fallen victim to such crimes and I think I might be one of them but I'm not sure, I live in a cloud of paranoia right now. About a year ago I met an Egyptian man by the name of Hassan Seifeldin on Facebook, does anyone know him? I have many online friends from all the world and I thought "Why not?". I accepted the request and we began to talk. I looked at his profile and noticed how handsome he was, which was surprising to me because I didn't think I would ever be attracted to an Egyptian, let alone a Muslim but I was proven wrong. Because of my cousins and most of my family members my image and opinion on his religion was distorted, but we had long talks about it and I grew to respect it . He is a very respectful man, is never disrespectful or inapropriate with me. Within a few months I knew I was falling in love with him but I didn't want to tell him. Afterall, I'm American and we never met, so why would he want anything to do with me? I was proven wrong again and he opened up to me about his feelings towards me. I was estatic. Thus began our online relationship. We never made it Facebook official as some may call it because I didn't want my family to know just yet, after all, I'm 17 and he's 24. We've had long, extended discussions about marriage and where we would live. He offered to come to America but I said I would come to live in Egypt with him. I asked him if we had children would they have to convert? And he replied with no, but I told him that I wanted our children to know both Muslim and Christian religion. He even said I didn't have to stop eating pork, I could eat it when he wasn't around. He went to the Army and became a lieutenant and even though we had little communication, we still managed to hang on. We agreed that it would be a good idea for me to come next summer, after I graduate. I'll stay there for a week and see if the spark is there when we are together physically. However, I ran into some trouble a few weeks ago and my paradise was soon disrupted by a woman named Sarah from the Philippines. She messaged me saying to back off from Hassan and when I messaged her back she said I was hallucinating. I asked Hassan and he said to block her because she was commenting on our posts on Facebook and they were rude. When I asked if he would block her he said yes but never did and when I tried to bring it up he said that his connection is slow, I belived it. When I unblocked her I saw that a post was made about Hassan on his timeline. It was a picture and the caption said "Miss you dear, always" I got really upset and told him and he said that they were just friends and I left it at that, maybe I was misunderstanding. A few days later a woman by the name of Max Diaz sent me a message calling me many rude names and telling me to block Hassan or the others will come after you. She sent me disgusting pictures and threatened me but I was determined to get an answers from her and I finally broke her. She said that Hassan and her were together but she found out that he was cheating with multiple women. I asked for proof and she didn't provide any. She said that many women had fallen victim to his lies but never gave names, I asked Hassan and he said that he never even talked to a girl named Max in his whole life. When I sent her a request she only had one friend; me. I'm so confused, I love him. I want to be with him, does anyone out there think he is cheating or do you think I'm just misunderstanding? I don't want to be in this cloud any longer Note: Opinions expressed in comments are those of the authors alone and not necessarily those of Daniel Pipes. Original writing only, please.
