Will white guys consider an egyptian Muslim girl?

[Anonymous]

So I'm an egyptian Muslim girl born in Britain and I've lived here all my life. I've always found white guys really attractive and they're just my type to be honest. The problem is that I wear a head scarf so I think it's difficult for any white guys to actually approach me. My family is pretty open minded as I have a really multi cultural family eg my cousin is married to a convert French guy, my brother has a daughter who is half white etc. I'm not overly religious but I believe in my religion, pray and so on but I know how to have fun and socialise. Do you think there are some white guys out their who would consider finding out about a religion if they were interested in a girl? By the way the reason I wear a scarf is for modesty because I believe in saving my beauty for my husband alone to enjoy not because I'm an oppressed girl. It's the idea of women being precious jewels in Islam and you don't go around showing jewels off to potential robbers , right? :) oh and I do take care of myself ,wear regular clothes eg jeans and tops but I try not to show my bits and bobs

Personally I can't see myself doing that, I would be willing to date a Christian Egyption girl though, I just would rather not put myself at risk dating a Muslim girl.

But in Islam Muslim women are not allowed to marry non believers, only the man according to islamic law are allowed to marry up to four non believing women, permitted they raise their children Muslim. Muslim women dating non believers is largeley condemned by orthodox Islamic scholars and they believe will cause them to lose their faith.

"do not marry polytheistic men [to your women] until they believe. And a believing slave is better than a polytheist, even though he might please you.” [Qur’an 2:221]

"O ye who believe! When there come to you believing women refugees, examine (and test) them: Allah knows best as to their Faith: if ye ascertain that they are Believers, then send them not back to the Unbelievers. They are not lawful (wives) for the Unbelievers, nor are the (Unbelievers) lawful (husbands) for them." Surah 60:10

"you are permitted to marry chaste believing women [Muslims] or chaste women among the people who were given the Scripture [Jews and Christians]" Maududi vol. 1, p427

I do think Middle Eastern girls are attractive but probably would be deterred by a head scarf because I would assume she was strictly religious and would not be interested in a non-Muslim or at least that her family would be less likely to accept me. If I was attracted to her though, she may be able to get my interest by flirting with me, though, so I know she's interested. I would not be willing to convert to any other religion for anybody, not because I practice my own strictly but because it shows she is not willing to accept me without having the need to change me, so if that was a sticking point it wouldn't work out.

to be honest you will have a very hard time. Most non Muslim guys don't bother with Muslim girls that wear hijab etc. because either (a) they assume the girl is strictly religious and would not date a non Muslim or (b) she is strictly religious and therefor they probably wouldn't have much in common and would have differing views on important fundamental issues.

I honestly do not know a single white guy that dates a practicing Muslim girl, especially those who wear a headscarf. I do know Muslim guys that date white and non Muslim girls but not the other way around. I'm not saying it definitely won't happen, but I am saying it probably won't happen.

Of course.

I just think that seeing someone that looks so religious these men maybe think you are off limits.

Try talking to these guys and showing your interest.

This will allow them to see that you are open-minded and not strictly looking for someone within your religious background or ethnicity.

Most non-Muslim guys have difficulty getting to know Muslim girls because of the cultural differences. They are worried about your family's reaction to a guy coming around who doesn't share their religion.

And for good reason..I know I once tried to flirt with a girl much like you back in my teens and was politely ushered away from her.

I'm afraid you'll have to go to places where Muslim girls don't usually go if you wantto get to know guys outside your community.

Honestly I wouldn't date anybody who expected me to convert to their religion. It makes me feel like they aren't content with who I am in a sense. I know not everyone feels that way and I respect that.

Well, the stereotype is that most you don't want to date a non Muslim guy and I've also heard that most aren't allowed to anyway. That will keep quite a few at bay. If you can get over that hurdle, you'll find one for sure.

I find Middle-Eastern girls pretty, but I wouldn't date a religious girl or a girl saving herself for marriage.

I think if you find a decent guy , then he won't mind
