Answering Libyan Violet.....

I despise Arab men for many reasons but men in America have there issues too. I try not to be too cynical when it comes to men and relationships but knowing me and my persona I just take it in stride. Being Muslim I do try to follow the Islamic guidelines of communicating with the opposite sex; something that is hard to do in a non-Muslim country. I will say that I am extremely perceptive and maybe more curious then Curious George, which I am not really convinced, is a good thing. Basically the more you know about any subject the more you question the facts, opinions, studies and the like. Psychology is something that I am fascinated with, so it explains why I dig deeper into subjects that I should stay far away from. Subjects that have to do with love, relationships, culture, sex, and the like. If you knew me well you would see me pouring over books, encyclopedias, and articles. Trying to understand why things happen; what makes things happen. I am tired of all the unanswered questions and the corruption of the mind and soul and would love to just give all my knowledge of love and everything in between to the first person who asks for it. After all has it really done me any good?

You must know I am usually interested in the differences between Muslim men in general. Africaans, Northern Africans, Middle Easterns, Asians, Indians, American Muslims and the like; living here and living in their countries. Huge differences if you ask me. What I realized is that if any of these men or women in that matter were born and raised here in America they are Americans except worse because there parents stuff their brains with culture crap, which only confuses them and their torn between living the American way or the Islamic way. If they end up choosing the American way they usually end up putting a whole new meaning to the word Americanized and if they choose the Islamic way they put a whole new meaning to the word sheikh. They merely forgot there is the in-between, which has its advantages and disadvantages and which I am currently living in. I do have parents that I live with and there still stuck in the Libyan mentality that even Libyans got rid of some 20 years back. Then you have the FOBs- the people that are fresh off the boat from there countries. Oh poor souls may I save thee from becoming lost forever. They simply lose there innocence but then again it depends on when they arrive.

It's all just a lost cause to me. One just has to deal!
