A Little Bit About Me
I consider myself a Muslim first (a practicing one, AH; daily prayers, fasting, Zakat), a liberal second (I support progressive parties, policies and politicians) and a teacher third (I am a professor at a business school and my love for teaching came from my mom, who was a high school teacher). I could write pages about these but it would be better to discuss the details in emails or talks.

Some things that I like are:

* Walking - I try to walk at least 3 hours a day, rain, snow or 100 degrees Texas summers!

* Travel - I have been to 19 countries other than my mother country of Turkey and inshAllah I plan to make it to 60 in the next decade.

*music - I like indie rock, bluegrass, blues mostly. My favorite bands/singers are The National, Tom Waits and White Stripes.

*sports - soccer, basketball and tennis are my favorites to follow. American football is also interesting at times.

*movies/tv shows - I like mostly documentaries/dark comedies and intellectual/well-written series and movies. My current and past favorites include Memento, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Sopranos, True Detective, 25th hour etc.

Oh and last, but not least, cats! I don't have one yet but IA I will get two (one is never enough) with the help of my future wife.

Finally, some short bio: Was born and raised in Turkey. Then moved to the US to get my master's and PhD. Then went to Australia to work as a professor for 5.5 years. Became an Australian citizen there. Now back in the US and working as a business professor. I would say I have a pretty good balance between western and eastern values/cultures (hopefully I managed to get, mostly, the good parts from each).

What I Am Looking For
I consider myself pretty open minded and liberal in terms of what I might expect in a potential partner.

Physical attraction should of course be there but I'd consider that mostly lust/hormones and it might not just be permanent.

More important is how well we can get along. To that end, I'd like to meet someone who takes Islam seriously. At a minimum, even if they are not religious, they should respect my take on religion and how I conduct myself. Of course, I would do the same in terms of respecting how they'd conduct themselves in regards of religion.

Second, I'd like to meet someone who has similar political views (social democrat, left wing etc). At a minimum, she should NOT be a Tea Party person.

Finally, if she also is interested in travel (I prefer large cities, mostly European, over beaches), sports and similar kind of movies/shows/music, that'd be icing on the cake!

Oh and background-wise, I don't have a strong preference one way or another. Age-wise, I am looking for a range from 29 to 41, with a focus around 33-37. I also would prefer someone residing in the US or Canada (the closer to Dallas, the better).
