Dear Dr Pipes, Your reader Jackie is going to Algiers to be with a guy whom she met on the Internet. My question to her is, "Are you crazy?". Ignore the merits and demerits of marrying a middle eastern Muslim man in a foreign country, what she is doing will be stupid if she were marrying an Internet friend in America. Put every thing on hold for one year. Talk to him every day. If the desire is still there then think of taking the next step. God save Jackie.
