I need to add that as Arabs are followers of a very rigid, fundamentalist form of Islam, there is no way he will change. What you fail to grasp because of your north american thinking about relationships is that YOU don't matter in all of this - what matters is only that you be the good little obedient muslim wife who obeys without question. They don't have relationships - they have agreements in order to produce children to continue the line. It doesn't matter that he's been in Canada 13 years - this has very little impact on his core beliefs. I'm guessing with almost 100% certainty that his demand that you convert means he is extremely muslim. Again, read tons. Read about sharia law and stoning of women. And don't expect a straight answer when you ask about these things. Lying is accepted practice back home.
