This is the most difficult part to swallow, I think... Forcing someone to convert to a religion that the family/partner don't even follow themselves... It's just so rude.durain wrote:that's the thing. a muslim can do all the sinful thing, porking around, etc. but when it comes to marrying a non-muslim, they expect the non-muslim to convert as marrying a non-muslim is sinful!
So what you are saying is what I've been telling my wife for years. There is virtually no difference between being a Catholic and being a Muslim. Their habit and histories and attitudes are almost parallel throughout history.mayaray wrote:marry overseas and live there for a few years or the other way around. It will broaden the perspective, i think. My best friend has definitely changed since they lived abroad. I have yet to ask her on whether she still views herself as muslim, as this topic is very much taboo in malaysia, (i.e you can only exit the religion by death, some perceive it as- if not by natural death, your peers will help bring it on if they know you are wanting to leave the religion).
Religion is very much deeply ingrained in the malay psyche. As unreligious and sinful as some younger ones seem, i think many return to their religion in middle or old age for repentance. (as do many other people who have some form of religion instilled in them from a young age)
