Online Dating In A Muslim World

Online Dating In A Muslim World

The power of the Internet to bring people together and share information has been the main selling point of the online culture. Online dating and matchmaking sites can bring two people together that might not normally see one another or might have trouble randomly bumping into one another at a bar or club. For Muslim singles, these sites offer more than just a way to bump into someone. They offer a way to meet and interact with the opposite sex without violating some of the laws of Islam that forbid dating.

With the barrier of a computer screen, using chat rooms or web cams to converse is seen by many as a way to circumvent some of the regulations seen in conservative Islam countries. Islam has had a sometimes contentious relationship with modern technology and online dating sites have been no different. For religious leaders, the emphasis is on keeping dating out of the equation. Sites for finding marriage partners are generally acceptable, but those that lead to dating are not in some areas.

Of course, online dating sites for the Arab world run the gamut between sticking to these traditional values and branching out. Some sites offer adult encounters as a site feature, some contain pictures of women in revealing clothes and some take a frank look at sex not typically seen in conservative Islam. Using these sites is a matter of personal discovery, but the key aspect of these online dating sites is that the choice is now out there and available so that there is a choice to be made.

No matter what kind of success these various Muslim dating and matchmaking sites see, the fact that the online dating and the Internet have provided extra opportunities to at the very least converse with new people is a testament to the power of online applications. Whether you are looking for a traditional Islamic relationship or a bit of online chat, the opportunities is now out there.
