Funny you should mention that brother. I have posted this before on another thread. The only attempt I ever made to marry was to a Somali sister about 4 years ago. She and I had know each other professionally for quite some time. I knew her father and brother from the mosque an had prayed salat next to them many times. So I ask a somali brother to set up a meeting for me with her parents. They told him absolutely No; and wouldn't meet with me. Because I wasn't from their tribe, or their country; plus I was white. So I don't see myself going down that path again..........
