When we have Children it has been agreed that they will be muslim until they are old enough to decide whether they want to be muslim or christian, as we are living in a muslim country (yes we live in egypt), then it makes sense for them to initially be muslim. however, they will not have islam thrown down their throats at every possible chance. I wouldn't mind at all if they did decide to say muslim, i find islam very peaceful.

And yes i do wear shorts around luxor, i cant see why this would be hard to believe, it is packed with tourists who wear shorts, so i do blend in!! Its really not that uncommon for the western women here who are married to egyptians to wear shorts, it doesn't say in our holy book we should cover ourselves. Have you been to Luxor?

I'm sorry if i offended you by saying that I lay down the law, but because i have done this we have a happy and equal marriage, so i guess it has worked for me!
