While i agree love can overcome in even in the worst cases, and yes I believe even in the middle east it's possible for a young man and an eastern woman can fall in love and make a life, I have seen cases in Iran and Iraq of young middle eastern women killed by their own families for simply having sex or changing their religious beliefs to marry outside of their own race or religion. It's very disturbing!! The difference between Germany and the middle eastern countries is that unlike Germany the Arabic countries take their religion very seriously and western nations tend to be seen as unfaithful, if you understand what i mean?
I agree it's a situation that could work in the United States, probably much easier than it would in the middle east, but i find it difficult, given the strong religious beliefs in middle-eastern countries, to believe that even for love the women would be allowed to marry Christian men from America. This is something that is not accepted.
When i was a kid my father was going to take a job in Saudi Arabia and we were going to move there, thank God we didn't, hehe. Way too hot for me there, i would have died there!! We came really, really close though. One of the things they told me was do NOT look at the girls or women in any way that could be considdered sexual, in fact they said don't even look em in the eyes. God forbid i should have sex with one of them. If i did i could be taken out and executed or hanged!! It still stuns me today to think of how unaccepted westerners are. It's worse than civil war Arkansas there, hehe.
