i guess its just different experinces
.....I know the religion and culture very well as my dad's religion was 'muslim' although indian muslim, (all very confusing) but he wasnt strictly religious and he did a lot of things against his religion although even though we werent raised with a strict religious background his culture did come in to play a little............iykwim..........i guess what i was trying to say is that i would be less happy if my daughter wanted to be with a muslim who was
very religious and wanted to make sure how he lived would be culturally excepted, so she had to change religion and do things to be excepted (which i understand would be her choice) rather than a muslim who although had his faith/culture respected that the person i.e my daughter wasnt muslim and didnt need to be and respected her relgious beliefs (if any) and her culture and was with her regardless etc basically how my dad was with my mum... although he was disowned by his family for quite a few years because he married my mum and his family never really excepted us because we werent religious, couldnt speak gujarati/swahili, and was bought up basically with the english culture.............. i am what they call a coconut........brown on the outside white on the inside lol!!!!!!!!!!! it was hard for them to acknowledge i was actually as much white as indian/african. iykwim x
. My husband is Hmong and I am Caucasian/Latina. To be honest, the only serious cultural differences that have come between are not related to our ethnicities, but to our religions! His family are Evangelical Christians and my family are very casual Catholics (if you know what I mean, lol) and I find it very hard to square with some of their religious beliefs.
