Lol faith is very important to Muslims
Nowt wrong with that.
Love conquers all is just a figure of speech and no more![]()
I don't think I could marry a Muslim.
From my own experience even the ones that are Westernised are still fundamentally devout.
I don't think my way of life and outlook on life is compatible.
I've had a relationship with one and we discussed marriage and she asked me would I be willing to convert?
I didn't answer her but it was pretty obvious what my feelings were.
There was not even a discussion of whether she would become a Christian or agnostic.
Her way of the highway - I've had a similar discussion with another woman too with the same outcome.
Its easy to say it wouldn't be an issue to marry someone from a different faith or someone with a disability (yes I know its not a great comparison) but in reality it is a very big thing.
Could be wrong but the biggest "conversion to get married" is with Jewish folk
It's more to validate the marriage than to become a practising Jew.
Similarly with Islam in many cases.
It wasn't a criticism mate just my honest feeling/experience.
Love does not conquer religion.
Religion shapes the way in which a couple can love.
I think the point Sharpe was making is the Muslim girlfriend was pressuring him to convert or the relationship would end.Lol faith is very important to Muslims

Fair enough.
I've not had a relationship with a Jew.
Don't even know any whereas I do know a few Muslims.
I think the point Sharpe was making is the Muslim girlfriend was pressuring him to convert or the relationship would end.
Absolutely zero chance of her taking his faith or just keeping their own .
My Mrs is Buddhist I'm from a Christian family but atheist we don't force each other to change .
I'm guessing your Mrs converted to be with you .

Hang on, you've been married twice?No mate...my first wife was a Muslim before I married her...my second one remained a Heathen throughout...neither wore a headscarf. My Heathen missus renounced most of her own culture herself.
You're right though...no way was she going to be with me and be a piss head or embrace the Weekend culture. If you gonna be my woman you got to be more than that...if we just ****in about then cool do what you want...but if your dreaming of having kids to me...it won't work. Standards
Hang on, you've been married twice?
I thought you'd never been married!Yeah bru lol
I'm just no good at it
Yeah bru lol
I'm just no good at it


That would appear to be the common theme.I actually converted to marry my Muslim wife over 20years ago now. It helped that I wasnt really a religious person before. Initially was a Muslim in name only but started first by fasting during Ramadan, then started praying but there was never any pressure from her or her family.
My parents were devout Catholics and were shocked at first but very accepting.

Most?Faith has to be important, given the lack of facts behind most religions.
We registered at some Communist China office with people in Military type uniforms and had the wedding in the Wuhan Shangri la Hotel .Interesting question Dunc
What type.of wedding did you have? Was it simply a registery office?
Just to show it's not a wum. Me and my Mrs had 2. To satisfy both set of parents. Although the second was in a registry office I would say the "ethos" was very much christian
