I'm in love with a Muslim woman. I'm not religious. Why's this still frowned upon in today's society?

Answer 1

Im a muslim. Be specific. We can love just like any other. And our marriages are not always arranged well unless in villages. Now we even marry online. It's no big deal! I married someone I love by choice! My mother and father had nothing to do with it. SO if you really love her, dont bother what society says. What can you do for her and what can she do for you. Honestly I do not blame society for disliking muslims so dont judge the society just see what you can do and how much you can do for her and vice versa...

Answer 2

I suppose a lot of muslims are very close with all of thier fmaily, inculiding thier grandparents, auntys and unclues ect and cause these older generations were bough up in a different time era/place they may have themselves been bought up believing in things such as arranged marriges and relationships in the same religion. Because of this is can pass onto the next generation of children, and it never gets fazed out.
I guess just because societys changed, people who belive in thier religion just choose not too change themselves. I think thats fair enough for them to decide. Religion is like politics, sometimes it can never be argued against, and just has to be accepted.

Answer 3

it only frowned upon by the muslim.. and most of them are prearrange marriages.. unless they are older and have been married before.. but if your not religious.. make sure you understand what your getting into.. because she is.. and you will not change that about her.. as long as you both can accept each other for who you are than you might stand a chance.. if not.. well you better date a while longer.. just to be sure

Dear Lovelorn:

I am not speaking specifically to your realtionship to the woman who you love, but to the issue at large, and to that I say it's GOOD to hear that it is STILL frowned upon in today's society.

Why? It's not that I am pro-muslim, I am a Christian. But what I think this is about is honoring traditions, values, and beliefs that have been sacrosanct and passed down thru the ages, and now a few left wing anarchist have decided to tear down all institutions, values, traditions, beliefs, and laws - that have stood and served the American Public since our establishment as a Nation and before, and well before that as the rules of man's societial covenants.

Why? Because of acountability, personal responsibility, and the hpyocratic mantra of equality for all. Basically they want to be the Enlightened Despots of a Utopian Communist Society here in the USA, but the hyprocricy is that they KNOW but for the sucess of the capitalist market driven free society that we call America, their ranting & schemes mean nothing. So what can their goal be? Simple: Destroy the our way of life.

So they try, among other ways, to do it through our Citizens, - by creating dissent. Everyone has an axe to grind with the Government it seems, and it is these small issues, that they try to make into grassroots campaigns. In your case, maybe you're sitting in a bar one evening having a few by yourself, (of course you could not bring your beautiful intended into a place that serves liquor), and a stranger pulls up a seat next to you. You begin to chat. next thing you know he's telling you his tail of woe about marrying a beautiful Muslin woman in Greece and bringing her home to america with him. How they were living in bliss for three wonderful years, until he returned hone from work one night to find her gone, and a note telling him that

"Her family had been searching for her after their wedding in Greece, which they considered illegal and an abomination against Allah, and now that they had found her they were taking her home to Iraq. You should not try to follw or find her, on penalty of death."

He is between crying and enraged as he imparts his story, - amazed - you gtell him your story. this only fans his indignantity. He asks if you know that a woman can be raped in a muslim Country - and then be stoned to death for bringing shame on her family, - or that a Muslin Man is within his rights to kill his wife if she displeases him or talks back to him in a muslin country? This is all news to you, you can't believe it! Your new friend says he and some buddies get together and help other "Good Americans" who are being ripped off by Muslims in this country, and invites you to jojn them sometime - he wished you two had met sooner he says - they could have saved your relations ship he thinks - although he does not elaborate on how. A little tipsy you tell him "You Bet!" The next weekend you meet with "Jim" & his "Crew".

These are just Americans, from different walks of life, all of them veterans of different wars, - Viet Nam, Gulf Wars I & II, Iraq, Afganistan, Kuait, Saejavo, Kosovo, Bosnia, - you name it - they foght there, were wounded there, lost buddies there. These men have or had wives & children for the most part, and just as importantly they have loyalty still to God, County, Unit and Service Corps.

They all believe in tradition - to keep it and honor it, and pass it on to the next generation. They want prayer in schools, Christmas trees in the Court Houses, Prom Queens to be Girls, and boys Scouts to be Boys. They want the Citadel to be all Male, and the YWCA to be for women only. They believe in marriage ONLY between a man and a woman, and they are willling to fight to the death if necessary to preserve that status quo. Why do they hold these beliefs so dear? They don't necessarilly. What they do believe in is the tradition of these established & accepted beliefs. Without these core touchstones that are our beliefs, our values, or symbols of our connection to our heritage, we will soon become lost, and wirh no memory of where we came from, we will have no reason to go anywhere, or to move forward, wnd thus we shall surely digress into chaos.

And that is why I support the notion that for an infidel to marry a devoted Muslim daughter is an unholy and unsanctioned union, displeasing to Allah and the servants of Allah - IT'S A LONG STANDING TRADITION.

Sorry.
