think about the consequences before you trust a muslim man

Sara, and all those who are in love with a muslim man/woman,

I am originally from a Muslim country, and I spent first 17 years of my life there. I have experienced how a minority (non-muslim) is treated like a second class citizen in a Muslim country.

I'll share a story with you all. My aunti (mom's sister) met a muslim doctor while she was a nurse. The Muslim doctor (who later became my uncle) fell in love with my aunti and begged her to marry him. Because my aunti was a Christian woman, she didn't want to marry my muslim uncle. Finally, my uncle managed to marry her on the condition that he would never try to change her religion.

My aunt helped my uncle move to England and help in every way to settle in England. Everything went fine! After about 10 years of their marriage, my uncle met some muslim men at the local mosque. Then he started forcing my auntie to do muslim prayers (5 times) and condemned her not to go to church. My auntie was very unhappy!

In 1993, I went to England and I met my uncle. Uncle was a fine gentleman, but very religious (extreme)! One evening in our conversation, uncle just told me that "Bible was false and it is Islam that is true". I remember, auntie and I secretly went to church so that uncle wouldn't find out. Auntie still has regrets for not marrying a non-muslim man.

My aunt's story is only 1 out of many muslim marriages I have known.

My friends, if you like freedom of speech, freedom, freedom of religion (don't want to convert), marrying a muslim woman/man will be a mistake!
