MAD MAC
Unrecorded Date
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm going to venture out on a limb here. As I've told you all before, my girlfriend is Thai. I'm white American. I really wasn't looking for someone. I have big post-Army plans and they don't include a woman. But sometimes you meet someone and fall in love. If a Muslim meets a gaal and they fall in love as I hear it described by the muslims on the net they have three choices:
1. The gaal can lie to his woman and pretend to be a muslim.
2. The woman can become an outcast to her family and friends.
3. They can end the relationship.
If the Gaal were to embrace Islam he should have done it before he met the woman. Embracing a religion to marry a woman is a lie. If you truly believed then you would have embraced the religion regardless of meeting a woman or not. If two people fall in love and respect each other I can not believe that Allah would not sanction such a union. I respect and believe in many aspects of Islam but I have a real problem with this one. It's hard enough to find someone your truly compatible with where the chemistry is right and your happy together without yet another obstacle. I am thankful that my girlfriend is Budhist and they do not subscribe to such beliefs. If she were muslim it would force me to either live a lie or give up a woman I love with all my heart. And if the woman is in love, I mean truly in love, with a gaal what is she suppose to do? Turn her back and hope she finds someone else? Life is hard enough without making it harder on ourselves. Muslimah, can you explain this to me? Because I'm just not seeing it.
