Tips / Bets LGBT or ISLAM ?

Lol faith is very important to Muslims


Nowt wrong with that.


Love conquers all is just a figure of speech and no more

 

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.

 

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.

 

Fair enough.

I've not had a relationship with a Jew.

Don't even know any whereas I do know a few Muslims.

 

Not sure about your last point tbh. I think the issue is with the concept of marriage than love

 

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 .

 

My point wasn't about being anti jew incidentally

It's just something I know a few people I know have done and seems to be the "norm" when one couple is Jewish

As I said above I think it's more linked to marriage itself. So a nikah is the Muslim version of what constitutes a marriage. For that to be valid the people involved need to be Muslim (in the main, but more to it tbh but to keep it simple). If that makes sense

 

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

 

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?

 

Yeah bru lol

I'm just no good at it

 

I thought you'd never been married!

 

It's all begins to make sense now

 

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.

 

That would appear to be the common theme.

 

Faith has to be important, given the lack of facts behind most religions.

 

Most?

 

We registered at some Communist China office with people in Military type uniforms and had the wedding in the Wuhan Shangri la Hotel .

We hired an English speaking compare to do the traditional vows and he translated as we went .

I also had to carry her to the car and they let off weapons grade firecrackers .

Reminded me of a scene from Platoon.

Good times

 

He's Australian mate ...
