Lily, please consider very carefully!

I don't mean to intrude upon your question to Laura, but it sounds like you need to read up more on Islam and understand what that will mean for the children you say you will raise Muslim. No matter how much in love you think you are now, once you are married and have children, you will not be prepared for the results. Your boyfriend feels and belives very strongly, which is a powerful force that you will have no choice in, and will end up having to submit to his muslim beliefs. PLEASE think carefully before you do something that will cause you great regret later. I am not questioning his love for you, but ask him if his love for his faith (and saying he will be punished for being with you) is greater.

Good luck and I wish you the best in your life
