[QUOTE]Originally posted by akshar: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by american gal: [b]From the sound of your post, it doesn't sound like you should have to convince his parents of anything. You've already told us how beautiful and fashionable you are. Oh, yes, and of course you are rescuing him from his society (how very noble of you). No doubt, if you share this info. with them, they will kneel down in front of you and thank God that you've arrived. Oh, and in case they fail to see how wonderful you are, you should probably tell them their country isn't beautiful and that you, of course, know that because you have traveled the world. That will surely win them over. Why don't you also offer some fashion advice to his mother because, since she's Egyptian, she needs it, right? When I met my fiance's parents (also from Alex), they took to me right away because I was respectful and open and oh, yes, not quite so stuck on myself. And guess what? I didn't have to convert to Islam to win them over. Good luck to your boyfriend, sounds like he needs it, not you... [/b][/QUOTE] Spot on I should think any Egyptian reading the original post would be horrified to think of someone like that marrying their son. All the Egyptians I have met are very proud of their country, their culture and their clothes. What an incredibly shallow woman, good luck to her boyfriend he is going to need all the luck he can get. It is not converting to Islam that wins parental approval, it is being a open minded and respectful person to everything Egyptian and not being a shallow fashion and figure obssesed Barbie doll. I haven't converted and have lived in Egypt for 2 yeas now. I can tell you that my mother and father in law think the world of me and my mother in law is incrediblly proud of me and my behaviour. She and father in law would kill anyone that said anything about me or gave me offence. How did I win them over; by being myself, someone that loves, Egypt, loves Egyptians and loves living here. Someone that defers to them and their opinions and respects them and their beliefs and customs. Someone who does not think that they and their country are vastly superior to anything in the world.
