Pakistani married to Polish Girl in Sweden

As an Arab it hurts me to see how our economical situation has made us accused of using european women. We simply find white blond women very attractive. Just like you westerners like Byoncee. People travel looking for a better life just like the british move to Australia and the poles move to briton. Just because many west-east marriages end in divorse it does not mean that they were not true. Divorse and breaking up are growing phenomena affecting the developed world. As they get older people simply change and mature and at some extint in life they might find themselves unhappy together. Such situation specially arise between people from different countries and religions either because of homesickness, family problems or whatever. It is very racist to accuse people of manipulating others because of some reported individual cases. It is like assuming that all arabs or muslims are terrorists because of what the criminal ISIS is doing.

I'm happily married to an educated european woman, we work hard to maintain our marriage and we always talk together about how we feel. She is the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. I count hours to come home to her after work. believe it or not arabic people do not grow on trees we in fact have families and many of them oppose marriage to europeans because of the reputation of sex tourism and the prevalence of affairs in the western culture, and they doubt that western partners would remain as loyal as an eastern partner which is ridiculous ofcourse. Stereotyping is unfair. Tolerence is the Key.

So you would not mind your sister or daughter marring ethnic European, non-muslim man? Oh, you would mind actually? That's the problem with you people, you claim right to hit to any european female but somehow yout think it doesn't work in opposite way.

It can be seen around the Europe. Arabs dating/marring European women and hardly any Arabic girl dating/marring ethnic Europeans because they are so controlled by their parents/brothers/uncles. When girl is trying to do something against their will it often ends with so called ,,honor killings".

Disgusting double standards, no wonder people around the Europe are starting to open their eyes.

I can't see how the religious views of some conservatives arabic females that many of them come from undereducated regions of the world or at least isolated would affect a relationship between two consenting adults -a european female and an arabic male- in real life many muslims and arabic females marry euroepan and american men like we have seen recently between Amal Alamdin and Goerge Clooney.

It is a noted phenomena that first generation immigrants tend to hold on to their original culture while in most cases second generations disperse and emerge and lose contact with their parents home countries eventually.

I myself I'm a first generation of immigrants to a highly educated arabic parents and I do not mind my muslim sister marrying a european or a nonmuslims but that choice is up to her to make not mine. Also my friend's sister has been happily married to an american christian man for many years now.

It is time to stear away from streotyping and work together for a better world.

Unfortunately, without these sick and misinformed stereotypes about everyone that doesn't fit in a very specific mold, some people would have nothing to talk about.

This is very true. Some people like to judge whole nationalities, cultures or religions by the worst examples of those groups.

Completely obvious that most stupid to judge a WHOLE group (nationality or others) based upon 1, or a few examples. Within any social group, there are a lot of différences... Only kids and/or people who have not travelled jump to easy conclusions (too many people in PF do).

Too many people on PF do because they are trashy Brits in Poland teaching English. What do you expect?

@Pork Seller: very true when only way to get "informed" is tabloids and/or Fox News....

I stumbled upon Y'alls message board by accident while self-study researching about EU or any other country going through some -problems- regarding Illegal/Unwanted immigration. It's like joining AA or any self-help group when you think - "There is NO one else going through the same exact thing I am going through", then; EUREKA !! You are -not- alone, you don't feel totally solitary anymore. I am tired of some of my fellow Citizens lamenting other Co-Citizens for wanting nothing other than LEGAL VISA holding Immigrants being allowed (non-citizens have no legal "rights" to show up via nefarious means and basically demand "rights" as if they ARE Citizens) within our borders. THank You !!!!!! I see what has and is happening there; I am trying to not have it happen here. I have been to Europe and seen the lovely countries and people. I am saddened when I see videoes, pictures, and news reports on the state of affairs.

Hahah. Not a very fair trade if you ask me
