thanks Sarah, always glad for different perspectives...so far i'm making her sweat as I havent replied and she's told my sister that she reckons i dont want her for christmas, but i will text her in the next few days, as i dont want her to think that i will rush to txt bk....but i do need to let her know that i am hurt by her actions and need to think about this.

I will tell her that although i will never turn my back on her ,but i do think that as she chose to be with him, then thats where she should be. I dont think muslims celebrate christmas(??) and if she has chosen to change her faith then surely the christmas thing doesnt exist for her anymore???

and that as she must have planned to get married to this boy (turns out hes only 16 and not allowed to get married in their faith either due to his age)l...also if she goes against his wishes and comes for xmas then he will be CONSTANTLY on the phone to her,ringing and texting. I know, as it was like this before she went off with him again (and when he cant get through to her mobile he pesters my home phone) as he is keeping track of her every move to check that she is in the house and not going out!!

Anyway,thanks for your input to everyone who has replied,i shall continue to watch this space for anymore anecdotes on muslim relationships and their faith...pat
