In the case that a woman does want her boyfriend to change his belief, -which is very likely everywhere- your thoughts immediately goes invalid, catwoman! Pity!

If you think that something became invalid, then you obviously didn't get the point. If a woman expects her boyfriend/husband to change his beliefs according to her whims, the guy should dump her right away! The same philosophy applies to both parts equally!

So, it has nothing to do with men and/or women. Or better, it is not the case of being man and/or woman.

I don't get the 'of course' part. Let everyone make their own choice, have their rights in believing what they want or not. Again I agree so much with karekin who said: http://www.turkishclass.com/forumTitle_11_7983_106 |

It has to do with the type of behavior, not whether it's a man or a woman. However, majority of the problems (especially the really serious ones) are caused by men, so it is an issue that is specifically about men.

To me it has to do with respect for the (non-)belief of others, especially a partner. Assuming your partner (m/f) will automatically change his/her belief just because you say so, is as disrespectful as it can be. Freedom of belief is basic, if you do not give that, you do not love.
(You is not personal.)

You better ask this question to your boyfriend. May be he is not that religious at all. You can feel sorry, think if its worth to abandon your beliefs. Read more about islam and sufizm. May be you will find some similarities, make you feel better!

For me personally...God gave me a mind and a heart and freedom of choice to open doors or to close them. By my own curious nature and admiration for many muslim people or any culture or religion I find that I have hands to open a book, I have a mind to be able to read and a heart to accept all people and brain enough to realize God made all humans. I found something lacking in christianity...answers and contradictions mainly same as I find in any religion or culture. I personally find the Quran to be truthful, the fact that it was maintained not to be altered in any way appealed to me as does the writings. yet as one poster put "one condition to marry is one must be chaste' however, in the Quran there is divorce and remarriage allowances and a time with which one can do this. There is conditions upon who you can marry but allowances for inviting to become muslim.
Opening and closing doors is a personal thing. Not a religious thing. pretending or practicing or physically going thru the motions of adapting to a new environment, changes in the community...all things necessary to get along, survive and exist happily within one's heart and mind and spirit.

if you're pretending (to be a muslim), then keep pretending, but dont give such "wisdoms" to other young people. your "wise" words may do harm.

Look in islam marrying with nonmuslims is not a good idea. But its not forbidden. For muslim men its more easy to marry. Its a bit hard and nearly forbidden for muslim women. So no problem.
By the way your religion is to you and his religion is to him. Who cares if you are budhist, muslim, christian or whatelse. If you want to revert to islam do it. But if you dont want its really nonsense if you will make it only for a man.
And nobody deserve to ask you to revert.
Take care. And decide yourself. Byee
