THANKS LAURA

Thank you for your advice. I know that i will take my time with this guy - i have my head screwed on...... Rushing into things would be pure stupidity. Is it true that a muslim man can only marry a non-muslim woman on the condition that children are raised as muslim? If this is so, then i can NEVER marry this man. I just don't agree with their strict rules and teachings. So do i walk away now even though i love him more than anything in my whole life or do i persevere with this relationship for now? I just don't know what to do. I know nothing really about what its like to be a Muslim, so any tips / explanations would be great. Like why do they have sex outside of marriage, when they are not supposed to? And yet they give out about smoking and drinking alcohol? Surely having sex outside of marriage is more serious??? I seem to get the impression that they do whatever, whenever it suits them. Acutally i am very confused about the whole lot.

Any advice laura would be great,

Michelle (irish girl)
