In my opinion, it is better for western women not to end up marrying Middle Eastern men. Although they tend to be broadminded and open during the 'Courting' phase of a relationship, they DEFINITELY open up there true orthodox nature in the long run.

And the best part is they turn as hardliners just in time they want to...I'll call this as being opportunist. And its a big lesson that lies here for all non-arab women contemplating such a decision.
