Wow, her parents sound like hardcore muslims, something I relate to insanity because anyone who obsesses over religion to the degree that they end up hating their son-in-law to be, is insanity.

My advice to you is that just because you love someone, you should not have to be the only one to comprimise. A healthy relationship is a two-way street, so don't convert just to be accepted by her parents. If she loves you, she should accept you for who you are and likewise. So my advice to you is that you have tried and did your best and if they think you are not good enough just because you don't stress over the Islam religion than that is their problem.

So just ignore her parents and she should be understanding and willing to understand the situation and stand up for you, I know I would do that for my boyfriend. My parents didn't at first like my boyfriend because he was Christian so I asked my dad this, "would you rather I date someone who doesn't treat me well and is insane JUST because he's muslim or a guy who truly loves me for who I am and will make me happy?" and now my parents adore my boyfriend.
