Hi Celina,

I have also met a Moroccan man and have fallen in love with him. My family will not accept him because of his religion. I have visited his family in Morocco and they treated me like royalty - with great respect. I got on very well with his mother (her parents are divorced and are muslim). He now lives in Morocco and i live in Ireland. We speak on the internet 2 or 3 times a week and text everday. We have spoken about marriage (distant future) and i have asked him if we did marry would he want me to convert to Islam? He said no but it would be nice. I also do not agree in raising my children under the muslim faith. We have alot to talk about and think there is going to be many obstacles to overcome. If anyone can help me understand what it means to be muslim and all about Islam as i am very naive about it all.

Thanks,

Michelle
