To Iris -

Iris....I don't feel "stopukmarriagefraud" missed the point at all! I feel she made several VALID points! However; you are correct in one aspect…"warnings are issued" But who looks at those warnings and or even KNOWS about them BEFORE hand. The people who come here to the "Daniel Pipes" usually find this site AFTER the fact.

They are here for support and to grow from the experience thus to help others. In addition, you don't need to remind people of the error in judgment they made regarding ANY relationship! We are human - and NO women or man should feel guilty of wanting to be loved or give love. Love is a natural human emotion and it's a POWERFUL! Iris, if you do not understand the culture and or have not lived in the middle east, then I suggest you step back and listen to what these women are saying. They are NOT here to be judged by YOU or anyone! If you want to be a part of this forum, then I ask that you show respect and offer information that is helpful and not condescending. Thank You kindly!
