[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lori: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by karinfarid: [b] But I do wonder why nobody has raised the issue from an islamic point of view, that the woman has to be a 'believer', some think that means a devouted christian or jewish woman, some think a believer in God and some just cancel the word 'believer' and stick to the term 'from the people of the book'. [/b][/QUOTE] Dear Karin, Thank you for the nice words. It is a pleasure to meet someone so progressive. If more people thought like you, the earth would be a better place. The Christian girl in question is not Egyptian, but from Europe. I don't think she met Muslims before travelling to Egypt. She fell in love and it took her some time to realize all the implications to her life if she married. What many people marrying outside their religion fail to realize that religion is not just the Holy Book, whether you call it the Qur'an, the Bible or the Torah. Religion is also represented in a million habits, holidays and celebrations with your family. Changing your religion means not being able to celebrate with loved ones. You celebrated Christmas and Easter all your life and all of a sudden you are not allowed at family gatherings, and even if you would go the family would be divided and you are regarded as an intruder. Your parents may not have a word in how your children, their grandchildren, are raised, for fear they will instill religious beliefs they are not allowed to talk about. If it was only the religion, it would be simple! But it's also a family matter. I am sure that Muslims, who are also family oriented, understand the issue. Peace, Lori [/QB][/QUOTE]
