My husband, a moderate Muslim and I were fine for 7 yrs with little religious conflict. Of course, he encouraged me to convert to Islam, brought me reading materials, etc but that's all. I don't believe in any organized religions as he knew from our first date. Now his adult/almost adult kids live with us 24/7 b/c their mother is ill. They are here for good and much more extreme Muslims. From Africa, the boys make comments about how “American women have too much freedom!”, “Anytime women work together there will be many, many problems”. They tell me the "bad" ways of Christians and ANY non-Muslims. People who smoke, drink wine etc. are openly judged as “bad”/“evil”. YET they will ONLY watch VIOLENT movies. Yet if a husband/wife do a 3 second kiss in an airport they fast forward the DVD, act offended/repulsed at the “unclean actions”. YET when we leave home they (males 18, 20) order xxx hardcore PORN! I'm thinking WTF? Do I confront the this...or try to ignore it tho it enrages me...?

That's very typical of that 'religion'.
Get out from that now- you'll be happier and better off.

Sweetie, ignoring it only tells them their behavior is "OK and acceptable."
Since they already believe that Jesus is a "prophet," I would suggest to them to read the New Testament of the Holy Bible. Starting with the book of John.
It is the accurate and authority on the life, ministry and death of Jesus of Nazareth.
As you can tell a tree by it's fruit...it sounds like they aren't even following their own "religion."
It is your house as well as your husbands and you both have say in EVERYTHING that goes on there.
If the movies bother you, do not allow them in your home. If the language bothers you, tell them to stop or leave. Tough love is call that because it is tough.
I hope this helps!

The problem with muslims is that they want all others to follow islamic traditions but NOT FOR THEIR OWN SMALL POOR SOUL.
