I don't think this needs much explaining.
Once I've calmed down, can you help me figure out what to say to my mom?

hmm... is this dealing with a friend or girlfriend? It may make a difference is how those words are percieved.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

It seems a reasonable comment. I'd like a lot of people more if they weren't Muslims myself. The same could be said for a number of religions and people.He's got the Midas touch.

Well, positive thing is that she was honest. At least you know what she thinks, even if you didn't want to hear this. Maybe now you can talk with her and make it better.In da butt.

Friendships can be severed, you can have friends who are bigoted go away. It isn't as easy with family. You're angry, but whatever faults she has, remember she is only mom you have, and chances are you willing to be dealing with her a long time. Now it's not that loving relationships with closely related family members can't be severed, it's just that it is a lot more painful to do so.

Let's face it. People will always feel more comfortable around other's the consider "their kind". It's just human nature; that doesn't make it a good thing but it does make it understandable. Also since your family is Jewish this will make your parent's feel even stronger about you dating a muslim.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

If family is bigoted, then jettison 'em I say. I don't care if it is more painful, if I'm choosing friend or family when someone in the family is bigotted, I'll side with friend any day.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”

How exactly do you define a muslim? How do you know he/she is not secularized and not all that much believes in one God as written in the Koran, hadiths etc etc...? Why does him being a muslim make it harder for you to like him/her? And so on.......
This is my principles! If you don't like them I have others!

I'm not saying to cave in to them, Imran, but I strongly think jetissoning them is a very bad idea. Especially since JW is 14, if the relationship between him and his parents becomes stormy now it could be very bad for him..."I'm moving to the Left" - Lancer

I know of a few Jewish parents who would let there children date people from other religions including Muslims. in fact, tha'ts all of the Jews I know!Also since your family is Jewish this will make your parent's feel even stronger about you dating a muslim.
(don't know that many..) Is'nt that related to as of how Ortodox you are? and what values you are raised and believe in?
