WHY SO NEGATIVE?

OK OK i have read so many of these comments and i am now feeling on edge.

I have been with my Muslim boyfriend for 8 months now. I am non Muslim living in the UK. I know a bit about Islam and that to marry i may need to convert.

I think that all you people who have had these awful experiences may also have been with bad guys... every religion, race or culture has them. You can't just blame the religion or culture. Also Islam is the most popular religion in the whole world so there must be a lot of positive inter religion relationships out there? please email me if you have any positive experiences of this... i need to hear them. katypea100@hotmail.com

My boyfriend is very caring and sensitive. I know we have only just started out and it might change in the future but at the moment we are happy. We are planning to live together soon so we shall see how it goes then.

My favourite thing about him is the way he is so thoughtful, he has so many friends because of his kind generous nature. So just because of your experiences maybe you should take a moment and learn about the Muslim religion before you go spouting out bad vibes because it only causes more descrimination and predudice. Islam is about peace and the love of god, it's not about harming people and women bashers.

Feel free to comment or ask questions
