I'll give you all a brief... For sometime now this brother and I have
been talking in regards to marriage- we both agree that we want to
marry each other... MashAllah...
He's from Egypt but lived most of his Adult hood here in the US. So
you can say he's a mixed of middle eastern/ american culture. How
american is he? He's a contract soldier in the US army stationed in
Iraq.
Anywho- When we talk by email he comes across very arrogant (example:
Last night we where discussing us and the next step. He said that I
should come first in you life at all times and that he should be
respected all around."
Granted that's the rules in Islam... Your husband is first because now
he's your Imam.
I was like and in the same manner I would like to be respected at all
times too... He went on "Why do you do that? it's always a 1 to 1 with
you." then he went on to say that I have a strong peronality and I am
unpredictable.
Which is true... aka I am a wrong

We're not in a relationship (boyfriend/ Girlfriend thing) and this was in the beginning when he contacted me.

i'm sorry to tell you, but there is a chance that he wants out of this relationship, hence why he is trying to turn you off to him or start a fight.
also, majority of military men/women are not faithful to their girlfriends/spouses.
find someone who is local and have something in common with.

That Arab spring = Arab bashing on Israel --- is sad. You have new opportunities, and you're spending them putting down others. Right there, you tell the world where the problems lie -- i.e. not with Israel, where they've been wishing the best for Egyptians in democracies & freedoms & not dictatorship theocracies or extremism. Palis aim guns & missiles at Israel. This "rock throwing" (btw with sling shots so they are deadly weapons of stoning) as their "weak method" ... is obvious PR mythology created for sympathy. Because honest discourse doesn't work for you. That discourse reveals Pali men with guns standing behind, using their sons with rocks as shields. So much more physical power - is why Israel is still there. If they lied down & died the way you want, if they were weaker, you'd have fulfilled your Hamas & PLO/Fatah charter goals to wipe out Israel. Nothing does work. No outreach for peace works with you. And you do nothing to help Palis by supporting the violent ideology of it's leaders, instead of pressuring them into a new ideology (and supporting those Palis among them who are without power but do want something better).

Its a tradition that most arabic countries have the position that woemn (and especially wives) are ranked with goats, furnitue and automobiles. In other words, you're property to be done with as pleased by your husband.
Now...if you have a very strong and overwhelming desire to be placed in a situation where your opinions or ideas are considered worthless and if you so much as balk about it you get a backhand across the chops...then go ahead. Some people enjoy being treated as doormats and property of others.
Lets just hope that you aren't one of them.
I say marry a nice, successful Jewish fellow.

What he told you sounds like red flags to me. Don't marry him, if he's already hinting around on what he expects and it makes you uncomfortable and uneasy, then it can only get worse when you marry. Listen to your gut feelings and run.

find someone local, you are involving yourself in a culture that has been at holy war for centuries, and they have other rules,
Anywhere you will find you should put your spouse first, isnt just a eqypt thing,
