Erica and Julie: You are the outsiders - why I ask?

Viking Woman - you assume far too much without knowing any facts. I have never said that I would become a Muslim nor move to "his" country or leave America (I am not American and do not live there). Therefore, I will not be an outsider anywhere. I am strong enough to stand by my own religion but at the same time be accepting of Islam just as I am of Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism etc etc.

Why do you assume that I don't now anything about the life of Muslim women? I have Muslim friends just as I have Christian friends ad I can see exacty what all their lives are like. I have already told my partner that I will not convert and he is happy with that decision. Ignorance breeds contempt and I think that this is what has happened on this forum, I am so glad that I am not an American!
