I am very sorry that you had been played by this awful and immature young man, I hope you never meet someone like him again. However, I just want to clear up a misunderstanding you have. You keep referring turkish men as "muslims" and you are warning all girls to beware of muslim guys. Honestly, not all muslims are like that. I actually have been played by a turkish guy once when he knew i'm Egyptian coming from Canada and i'm even a muslim myself. What I meant is that I noticed it is actually how turkish men behave, it has nothing to do with religion. When I have been to Turkey for summer, many turkish men were flirting with and trying to sleep with me. I felt very uncomfortable with how turkish men talked, looked, and treated me. Many other muslim men from other countries actually do have a lot of respect to women which is why I like them for that. It has nothing to do with religion. I think Turkish guys that are muslim don't even commit to their religion as they break a lot of rules including disrespecting women. So again, it's not because of their religion. I knew from a friend in Turkey that all men are like that, they think that foreign women are sluts and easy to play because of 'Hollywood'/foreign films, heck, they even treat Turkish women very dirty as well! So please, don't blame a religion because of an arrogant and immature guy like him. Wish you best of lucks in the future. :) <3
