"I would like her a lot more if she weren't Muslim"

[GePap]

Be honest with your mother: tell her you like this person, and that their religion matters nothing to you. Ask her not to say such a thing in front of you ever again, then tell her you love her (your mom), and be done with it.

This in my opinion is the only sensable way to approach things.

Actually, it does need more explanation, but I love some of the knee jerk reactions. :simpsons voice HAAHAA:

If you want my invaluable advice I need details of the situation (pictures are good too).

[Imran Siddiqui]

Especially since JW is 14

He's only 14?! Wow... I didn't know that. Damn, I forget we have younguns here .

Of course we have no idea if this is just a friend or a love interest.

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...

JW is 14? Then he most certainly shouldn't get to worked up about this since she most likely won't be in the picture one year from now. Stick with your parents and just try to influence them to come around to your POV.

Exactly who is this person? just a friend or what?

Just as an aside, Moslems are forbidden from marrying non-God believers... they're not supposed to marry Buddhists, Hindus, Confucians, athiests etc.

a man of jewish religion falling in love with a muslim and feeling guitly about it?

[Imran Siddiqui]

paiktis, that is what these families do to you. It's utter Hell. Though the Jews are more advanced in this than the Muslims. They might dissaprove, but they'll let you do it.

[Al B. Sure!]

Imran:

Muslims have had a far, far greater tradition of marrying non-muslims than jews have had of marrying non-jews. Only since Israel was created have muslims almost universally started to hate jews.

Spot the difference?

Perhaps, but Jews in the US are more liberal minded than Muslims in the US. Jews are MUCH more likely to date out of their own religion than Muslims in this country.

Imran:

Really? My father married a christian... my step-father did too... all his friends who married in america are married to christians (catholic puerto ricans usually).

still if what you say is true then I think it's economics... jews being so much higher economically than muslims are more likely to interact with people out of their own kind while poorer muslims immigrants i guess would keep to themselves.

Also as an aside, i know some christians who refuse to date anyone who's not christian. the reason is because they want God to be a major part of their lives and they don't want to have fights over what will happen on sundays.
