Just a question....

I'm with you, who says your country of origin has to determine ANYTHING about you!

it has everything to do about you.
your culture, traditions, beliefs and morals

i have a turkishj background (well partially at least).

anyway, everyones ignorant, i just either let it go if its not a big dela comment, but if it bothers me or pisses me off in anyway i call them out, usually calling them a jew, or piece of shit, or tell them virgin marry wasnt a virgin cause i found her gravesite and banged her, etc.

especially now that im realizing people go out of their way to offend others and drive their confidence down just to be dicks, i have alot less of a problem doing it right back

yeah I know...

I wish I could you how rude people are about it....

I didn't know you had a turkish background too... HIGH FIVE!

Totally disagree with the parents.... if they live in the US and expect her to date a muslim guy... Well, thats just telling her what to do...

Totally wrong.... She should explain to them that may not happen due to where they live.... If they expect her to marry someone muslim then move back to the background they're from....

thats so wrong... She should date who she wants....

im not trying to start an arguement here, but just like you feel she should be able to date who she wants, because of your culture, they strongly feel she shouldnt, because of their culture.

its just their beliefs and practices, and their restrictions are just as important to them, as your freedoms are to you.

both of you are wrong, everyone should just date me and only me

Why would you feel bad even if you were relgious & muslim?

People assume I am...

When I correct them... they think I don't give a toss about my background... though I usually know more than them...

It works the other way too...

My friend is a very strict muslim, Prays 5 times a day... Does everything by the book etc.... AND when she informs people that she's muslim, Again theres a look of "Oh, shes muslim, lets go"

people are strange... Pisses me off...

well, if she was evangelical she'd still get the same response
people who aren't religious are turned off by people who are

I understand... But its hard to tell someone you can only date so and so because we believe that.... I wouldn't, I'll date who I want you know?

Must be a hard situation to be in...

I know, thats so true... Don't know why people can't accept peoples beliefs or no beliefs....

If you have a muslim background, but you don't class YOURSELF as a Muslim... Nor does your parents though you're from a Muslim country....

Do you feel bad when someone ask's....

"Oh so you have a Turkish background, So you're Muslim?"

I'm like, No.... I wouldn't say I am, I have beliefs etc, But I'm a strict religious person... My mum does pray.... and she used to fast before she became unwell....

But the reaction I got was... "Oh, Ok"

Is there anything wrong with that?

No, however i am muslim... and when you say MUSLIM COUNTRY it would be a common question to ask if your muslim? why, most likely to say salaam which would be the 'proper' thing to do. Secondly, the relationship changes when you find out the person is muslim. "Becomes more a brother hood" in the case for males.
