Oh ok I see what you mean lol. They do? I thought that they would normally be more attracted to brown or black hair but I guess since blonde hair is more rare in North Africa and the Middle East than it must be exotic to them. They do have some blondes but I guess not much like the way Europe does. When I'm in Berlin I get hit on all the time by Muslim men but I don't have blonde hair so I guess I'm surprised by that lol.

I've seen worse looking people in America and in the U.K. They have their a** hanging out, wearing socks with sandals, big gold chains, walking around drunk while falling over puking everywhere, then trying to hit on people lol but that doesn't mean that all Americans and British people will look like that. Every country in the world will have attractive and unattractive people. There isn't a single country out there that will only have unnatractive people.
I am from Germany originally, and now that I have lived in Portugal for over a decade, I find Portuguese women clearly more attractive than German women. Some people like to cling to outdated ideas of 50 or 100 years ago, just for the sake of it.

Hair color plays no role whatsoever regarding the location Muslim men move to. After all, they know that European women usually do not want relationships with Muslim men.

Most people here have black hair, most blonde women in Portugal are fake blondes, because unfortunately many Portuguese women have low self-esteem and try to look Nordic, denying their being Southern.
You can see it clearly when you pass by a school yard, virtually all children have black hair. But when you look at adult women, all of a sudden many of them have blonde hair. It is absurd and sad...
Basically the same thing as people bleaching their skin in Africa...

And blonde people are being pushed in the media as well, disproportionately many blond and blue-eyed actresses on TV...

Ironically, Fatima is named for one of Muhammad's daughters.

Fátima is a common female first name in Portugal. One of the few relics of the Muslim era centuries ago...

Just a fashion, not low self-esteem. Women go to the hairdresser and ask.
Roman women also loved blonde hair and Germanics were below apes.
In fact, blonde hair was the only profitable import from Germania.
Many blond and blue-eyed actors? Not in Spain.
Just the reverse, blonde and blue eyed women are somewhat relegated.
This is Spain's hottest actor, although he's Cuban. He looks quite typical.
He plays the role of Serrano Sunyer, that was shorter, a good old friend of Addie.
Spain always had actors that looked very "cazurros", country yokels during the "desarrollismo" and "democracy". Look at Almodovar et al, they all lok gypsies.

Yeah that is sad. I think they look great with their natural hair color. It makes me sad to see how obsessed people get with dyeing their hair color even going as fair as using blue eye contacts. It makes my blood boil though when people tell me how come you don't have blonde hair you are half german. They expect me to look like Heidi klum or something lol. She's a pretty women but I have to constantly tell people that not everyone is gonna look like her.
Same thing when I hear about why don't I have blue eyes. I don't know why people obsess about that. I think blue eyes are nice but I think green and brown eyes look great as well.

I guess yu are not Catholic....the Virgen of Fatima, it's a very important shrine in Portugal. Provenance of names in Europe comes mainly from fashion. Roman - and Arabia and Judea was Rome, Germanic during the Middle Ages, Renaissance, etc, etc.
