When I hear about your situation (being in Istanbul, finding a s/o that’s the same religion) it makes me think of some of my girlfriend’s co-workers who came from Eqypt. Really nice people that had to leave because of their religion (Christian).

EY. Currently…Egypt is much more violent then Turkey. People really don’t care want religion you are. It’s pretty stable here. You just need to be respectful of everyone (respect is HUGE here) In some parts of the city they adore American culture. When people know I’m from the states…they’ll ask me a million questions about what it’s like to live there. I just say…It’s like here, but different.
