If you really are deeply involved with him. Don't pay attention to his parents. They are a part of his life and you are a part of his life. They will have to accept you one day. When you meet them you can show them the person you are and change their minds. They have prejudged you and until you meet them you are just a girl that has nothing to do with their son. Show his parents that you are worthy of being with their son just as any girl of their religion would be if they were his girlfriend.
Good luck!
Good luck.

do no longer paint effective ingredient with a vast brush. people like neither the Iranian government nor Iranian militants. That pronounced, in case you talk on your boyfriend's dad and mom and enable them to comprehend who you extremely are, they probable won't hate you. They probable will such as you.

Realize this for what it is, an online fantasy. Persian? You mean Iranian. There is no Persia at the present time. It's part of the fantasy. Grow up. Spend time on relationships with real people. Of the four of you, his parents are the only ones showing any sense at all. This whole business of "going out" with someone you can't see or wouldn't be caught dead being seen with is rather psychotic.

Be careful about him. I'm not trying to be prejudiced or anything like that, but many Muslim men will try to dominate women once they get too attached. Be especially wary if he wants you to move out of the United States and/or convert to Islam. Granted, not all Muslim men will do that. But be aware of what might happen in their culture and make your decision accordingly. I have known many stories about what has happened to the woman once the line was crossed.

nothing. they are racist. im sure ill get some flack for saying that since i am a white male, but its true. the majority of racists are NOT white. its sad that they pre judge you due to your race and religion,. but extremist religions like muslims usually do not tolerate people of other races.
you can deal with it, and get over it if he does dump you. but then again its a long distance thing anyway, so why bother..

It's frustrating isn't it? How old are you? Do you have the means to travel there so they can meet you? Perhaps, upon meeting, they will have second thoughts. If not, it may be time to move forward with your own life and find someone closer to home... Best of luck to you!

Your focus should not be on their short sightedness. The best thing that you can do is be you. A sad fact of life is that not all people will like you. Even more sad, is the reasons that these same people will not like you. You just concern yourself on being the best you that you can be!

Tell your boyfriend to cover his ears and then tell his parents to go back to whatever dump they came from and leave their son in the free world.

As a christian who was born and lived a long time in a Muslim country i would say: be careful! don't trust Muslims. i am sure your bf won't marry you till you become a Muslim like him!
they hate us! Muslims hate non-Muslims. be wise, the Lord has chosen a better one for you! someone who respects your faith and your nationality!
remember we are the children of god!
