I like that post very much! I think it is in our nature to be cautious...some may call it prejudice, some being overprotective but I don't really see anything wrong in that, since it is for good aim- own happiness and safety. regards from Poland Amina Salaams

I can say that after living here in the Gulf for 9 years, I would not be inclined to consider marrying an Arab. That doesn't mean it is set in stone, but that my experiences have led me to the point where I want to avoid repeating some of the same mistakes. Ironically, most Arab young women I know who are well educated and tend to be progressive like me, ALSO don't want to marry Arabs! LOL! Anyway, my point is that I think it's normal to have preferences. They become problematic when your mind is so closed that you wouldn't be willing to step out of your comfort zone when everything points to why you should.
