[QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [QB] i think you need to realize something. your boyfriend may never ask you to change religion (because it's not right -if he is a good muslim he knows that you must want to convert for you...it's btw you and god...not bcs of him or your future kids.) BUT. this is a big, big but. if he is muslim and he wants the kids raised muslim, then you, as the MOTHER, and as a role model, will lead an islamic lifestyle. To give you an extreme example, you will not be able to run around in skimpy shorts, eating pork, drinking and celebrating christmas in front of the kids (going against the principles of the religion you and your husband are trying to raise them in.) I know in the US religion is a personal choice, but in Egypt it is ingrained in the social way of life. Let me repeat that - islam penetrates into the social fibers of this society in a way you don't see in the US. It's NOT just going to a mosque every Friday. It's NOT just praying 5x a day. It's a way of life. You will be a role model for your children, as mothers are very treasured (above fathers) in his society. That means, he is looking very very carefully at you, making sure that you are capable of bringing up his children in a correct way, even though you're not muslim. Get to know some muslims in your area. Talk to them about it to see how they practice it where they live. It will not be as your husband practices it (as I said before, it's part of the society here), but it will give you great insight to how you and your husband may find middle ground and be able to coexist wt a 2 religion household [/QB][/QUOTE]
