Moslem Friends

The Volga city of Kazan was originally developed by Moslems. The Volaga River runs southward toward the Caspean Sea of the Middle East. The Moslem civilization came through this waterway. During the 16th Century, the Russian Czar called Ivan the Terrible conqured this city and transformed it into a Christian city. These days, one half of the city residents are Russian Orthox Christians and the other half are Moslems. They live in in peace and harmony unlike other other areas of the world.

There are thus many neat-looking and well-educated Moslem ladies in this city.
1. Zulia: In Kazan (October 1999), I met a Moslem girl. She wanted to go out with me to have fun at Kazan's Bauman Street (fun street). It is a sin in her culture to go out with a man, but she said I am a teacher and she is a student (not boy and girl).
  She invited me to go to a Moslem mosque and pray. My Christian background is very strong, but I do not hesitate to go to mosques to pray in the way Moslems do when invited. You may visit my Kazan page to see how Moslems and Christian live together peacefully.
