Quoting heidilovesosman:

do you no me!!!! NO!!!! so you cant say what i am. i am msulim darling soooo if ya dont like it i dont really care



Intersting, for someone who converted to muslim you're quick to rise your voice when asked a simple question when someone else is not sure of your faith. One needs to be tolerance when is comes toward the opinions of others.

Well,in that case,then to answer your question heidi.
No,its not true,i was kidding,men dont hit their wives unless they are not respectable,same as in any society.

And wife can leave him divorce him anytime if he did.
İts her choice to accept and be with him,or not accept and leave him .

Quoting heidilovesosman:



is this true cos if it is i just converted about 1month ago:O is it the biggest mistake of my life???????



lol, this is funny. The beating women question is the first one I asked everyone regarding converting to Islam. The second one is, "Are you guys terrorists?" Third one, "Am I going to be a slave and have my husband order me around?" Haha...

Actually, I think she's just being sarcastic. If I converted, I might say something sarcastic like that knowing that it's untrue. Heck, who really counts the number of times they beat their wives right? (joke)

Going back to the original post...about a relationship or possible marriage with dual religions...I think that it really depends on the the individuals involved. If both are tolerant and truly follow their religious upbringing which most teach love of God and love and respect of others then there should not be a problem.

But, there are few that can live in such harmony. As human nature is more selfish than love. Which is very unfortunate. I think that converting to marry is problematic for the simple reason that you have to change yourself to fit into the relationship. I can't seem to understand how one can change religious beliefs that simply. I have been in the this situation of being in a dual relationship and was told that I had to convert or marriage would not be possible. I chose to remain true to my God. I am not preaching here. I just don't think that true spirituality can be so true if one is ready to give it up so easily for the simple acceptance of another human being...

I think one should question themselves and their true motives before converting to fit into a relationship. As a religion is a personal experience between one person and whoever they believe is their higher power.

as for me, im personally against such marriages.
sooner or later the consequences start showing up in a form of cultural clashes. if not themsleves, then their parents start interfering and pressure after pressure will bring to the point that the marrige will be ruined and both become the mental wrecks. there will appear fights for the influence on rising children like "in my country all youth respect elders and in your stupid country theres absolutely no respect to anyone at all".
it is quite dangerous, therefore those who decide to be together should protect their marriage from other "caring and loving" families(parents, uncles, aunts), friends, wise advisors.

mltm
thank you for sharing!
that gives some picture.
recently married you are, arent you? or going to marry? have i guessed right?


No, you're wrong! But when I moved to a christian dominant country, I realized that I didn't really belong to their culture, and I found out that rather I was closer to so-called muslim culture even if I had never practised it. I wore off my prejudices, I met practising muslim girls, and I let myself be more open to İslam, I found myself defending the muslims since here I see a lot of prejudiced people against Turkey and muslims. I also went out with a real muslim man, I say real because he was not hypocrite or fundamentalist, he was such a modest respectful and pure man, he helped me to wear off my prejudices a lot.
I think we have to find the line between being cautious and being prejudiced.


mltm,
so i was right.
1. you're prejudiced to christian countries (i may understand you, why, not only culture but also mentality difference)
2. you have a man "boyfriend" who's working on your perception of the world. (many non-muslim women did and do so, you're not the first and last).

thanks,
take care
