How to get in contact with them ? 2007/4/1 14:46
"Dave in Saitama,

Yes, there are."

Thank you,

Do you know how to get in contact with them ?

Any forum, website, address ?

(- I already tried to contact the Islamic center of Tokyo, with hope that they could introduce me to other Japanese muslims.
- And tried some other websites..
- Demo, I never had a reply...)

If you can help me, I would really appreciate it.

Thank you.

To S,

Did you tell them why you want to be introduced to Muslims? I don't think that organizations introduce people to strangers who have no specific reason.

If you are in Japan, you should simply show up to a meeting organized by any of those Muslim communities you've contacted and go up to somebody by yourself. If you're overseas, you can try penpal sections.

By the way, all Japanese Muslim women I know of became Muslims by marriage to Muslim men. So you can also try contacting the men to see if they can introduce you to their Japanese wives.

hai, orientation?, omoshiroi dewa nai 2007/4/2 14:43
Ohayou gozaimasu minna-san,

"Uco" Arigatou gozaimasu.

Your information are useful.

- "Did you tell them why you want to be introduced to Muslims?"
-- Hai, shimashita.
Yes, I told them.

- "If you're overseas, you can try penpal sections."
-- Yes, I am.
Do you have any orientation ?
(to any penpal section? to any serious and sincere persons ?)

- "By the way, all Japanese Muslim women I know of became Muslims by marriage to Muslim men. So you can also try contacting the men to see if they can introduce you to their Japanese wives."
-- Omoshiroi dewa nai...
Not interesting... because:
Watashi wa otoko desu.
I'm a man, I can't ask men to introduce mes to their wives.

- - - Remark - - -

About the "Islamic Center of Tokyo"

I've been really disappointed.

At least they could reply and say that they can't help me.

If they didn't beleive me, why didn't they give me a chance by knowing me and seeing if I was sincere and serious... ?

And the worst thing is that :
It's a big shame on them, you know...
Hai Hountouni...

Because, they didn't respect some IMPORTANT PRINCIPLES of ISLAM

- Manners/behaviour/politness,
to be kind, present, helpful, useful, sincere, etc...

- Help another muslim, "I am a muslim", and they didn't help me...

You can't imagine how disappointed I've been, but thanks to GOD, there are other persons who can help...

- I "think" I know why they didn't want to help :

- I'm not in Japan.

- Maybe I'm a terrorist.

- Maybe I'm not serious

etc...

demo...

How can they know who and what I am, if they don't try to know me and discover the truth about me.
- a loss of time ?
If I am who and what I pretend to be, it would be great for them and for 01 Japanese Muslim woman.

* I remember another principle of GOD directly, that they didn't respect a "ayah of qur'an":(49:13)

Surah al-Hujurat (49) : ayah (13)

[49:13] O people, we created you from the same male and female, and rendered you distinct peoples and tribes, that you may recognize one another. The best among you in the sight of GOD is the most righteous. GOD is Omniscient, Cognizant.

In which GOD tells that he created us of many different nations to know each other.

"GOD has all the knowledge"

- What disappointed me is to see that people don't beleive me (I've always been sincere, clear, polite).
--- I sincerely understand.
But, it's really hard to experience.

What disappointed me, I think:
- is not the fact that they didn't beleive me.
but,
- the fact that they didn't give me a chance.

- In ISLAM : "Every One Has a Chance"

(rich/poor, beautiful/ugly, strong/weak, black/white, Bright(very smart)/simple, setc...)

Mou ichi dou:
"Arigatou Gozaimashita, Minna-san".

Hountouni...

Please don't misunderstand my words 2007/4/2 15:07
Please don't misunderstand my words :

"If I am who and what I pretend to be, it would be great for them and for 01 Japanese Muslim woman."

- I'm not arrogant,
and
- I'm not thanking myself...

(- I say this, because I think that there are not so much muslims in Japan, so it maybe hard for a muslim woman to find a muslim husband...
- And of course, no one knows if I will meet a Japanese muslim woman and if we will get long, fall in love etc... E(^_^) )

Anyway...

What I mean is:

- I don't want and don't mean to hurt anyone.

- My words are innocent.

Arigatou. (for being understanding)

Finding a partner 2007/4/2 15:13
S,

It might have saved everyone's time if you had mentioned from the start that you were a man looking for a female partner.
Why not place ads in the various penpal sites (including Japan Forum) like everyone else?
And you ought to note that quoting the Quran on a first date is likely to send most people running in the opposite direction.

this forum is "A CHANCE" 2007/4/2 15:32
"Dave in Saitama", thank you.

--- It might have saved everyone's time if you had mentioned from the start that you were a man looking for a female partner.
- I needed to know all what I asked about.
- All your information are very useful for me.
- And, I'm not looking for a "partner".

--- Why not place ads in the various penpal sites (including Japan Forum) like everyone else?
- In penpal sections, you can't add a ad about mariage for example.
- In penpal sections, your ad will not be visible as a question in a forum.
- I am not "every one else"
(every one has his own mind and way...)

--- And you ought to note that quoting the Quran on a first date is likely to send most people running in the opposite direction.
- I think, I've been clear and sincere.
(I quoted the ayah of the Qur'an to show and as another proof of a principal that people at the Islamic Center of Tokyo, didn't respect).
- So, I don't know what opposite sense people are going to take...

- Finally, a forum is made to ask questions and answer to them to help people if possible... (not a judgement place...)
- So, please "O NEGAI SHIMASU", if some one can help me, help me and thank you.
- Else, don't waste your time and place in this forum to useless judgements.

Mou ichi dou, Arigatou Gozaimasu.

Confused 2007/4/2 16:54
S,

Sorry, I am confused by the apparent contradiction in the following two sentences...
I'm not looking for a "partner".
and...
In penpal sections, you can't add a ad about mariage for example.

Plenty of people (including many people on this very forum) have found marriage partners through penpal sites, so I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the idea.
by Dave in Saitama rate this post as useful

No Confusion 2007/4/3 05:27
They (a and b) were answers to your questions.

a. ''I'm not looking for a ''partner''.''

b. ''In penpal sections, you can't add a ad about mariage for example.''

- Then, for me :

A PARTNER # A WIFE

(#: different of).

- So there is no confusion, just a misunderstand.

Until now...

I didn't get more help.

I wouldn't refuse it...

Anyway:

Dave, thank you for your active participation in my post.
