I found beauty in my Muslim Man

Lisa,

You ask if anyone has a good marriage with a Muslim man. I want to tell you that I am in a relationship with a Muslim man from Morocco and have known him for almost one year. He has asked me to marry him. I said yes.

I think in response to ALL this controversy with Muslim men, its all up to that individual man who you are with as to what he does or does not do in the name of his religion.

For instance, you can NOT say all Islamic men are terrorists. These men are radical groups who are Muslim, but they kill in the name of God. You also can not say that all Muslim men beat their wives, because its not true, my man respects me and would never raise one finger to me. He was raised where the wife is held in high regard and he treats me like a Princess. He dose not ask me to convert to Muslim religion and he knows that I am of Christian faith but we both believe in the same God. My Muslim man has shown more love and compassion for mankind and God than I have ever known a man to do. And he is extremely romantic.

Just like you can not say that all Christians are alike. There are crazy people who call themselves Christians and kill in the name of God. But there are true believers who are kind and loving.

You are an atheist you say. So I am sure that he hopes that he can talk to you about God and you may see his point of view.
From what I've learned is that the Muslim religion teaches peace and love for all mankind and love for family and for God.
You need to be sure that you love him. If you love him, nothing will stop you. Talk to him and be honest with him and ask him to be honest with you. Tell him what is on your mind and in your heart. Begin there.
Hope this helped.
Abby
