[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP (8:21) again -

after reading the above posts, I forgot that I would be concerned if DD was in a serious relationship with a muslim.  That would really bother me.  [/quote]

Let me know her name so I make sure my son never asks her out. I don't care about race, but being stuck with bigoted in laws would really suck.[/quote]

I so love the default argument - if you don't agree with me, you're a bigot/racist.

PP said that she would "be concerned," not that she would end it.  She also referred to a "serious relationship," which I took to mean marriage is conceivable.  Things I would be concerned about - would my DD be asked to convert?  Would their kids be raised in the muslim faith?  Are the prospective in laws supportive?[/quote]

If she had a concern about any and all religions other than their own, I'd agree with you. But to single out one particular religion is bigoted. Those are questions to ask of every other religion. [/quote]

The pc answers are the comfortable ones.  But the uncomfortable truth is that being a Muslim is not the same as being Greek Orthodox, Buddhist, Jewish, [fill in whatever other religion is different than your own] etc., etc.  You only need to pick up the WaPo to be reminded of that every day.  Concern seems fair.[/quote]

Please tell me how a Mulsim is different. [/quote]
