Re: Being US Born & Bred, Choosing a Spouse from the Motherland
I would advise against it. All we have in common with people from “back home” ( would never consider it home) " is ethnicity, nothing else. However that doesn’t truly make you who you are.
We have no more in common with them then an African American from Atlanta does with a person from the Congo, yes their both black but so what?
The mentality, outlook on life, even how they approach, evaluate and judge a situation is totally different. I found this out for myself just visiting Pakistan, I was very lost, I had absolutely nothing in common with my relatives there except for a family name.
I think Muslims in the West should marry each other, there are like 8 Million Muslims in North America, you can easily find someone here.
