| slm Two years ago I met a student karate teacher at my son's Dojo. Then he was seventeen. For some unknown reason he took a liking to me and my son and asked a lot of questions about my life style and getting a bit nervous if I mentioned anything to do with religion. Last year I found out that his father is a Muslim and his mother is not. He was brought up with Christmas, Easter and knew little about Eids. When speaking to him you could tell that he knew nothing much about Islam. However he took my little one under his wing and encouraged, consoled, and gave special care to my son. Before every test he really took an interest in my boy and nurtured him. As a result- slowly he asked questions about Islam. I must admit I have never met a kinder, sweeter young man. He died monday. |

| slm He died of natural causes. I guess I am so sad because he died a non- muslim- (Allah swt knows best.) Yesterday I was at a park with the kids. I was watching a young girl of about 8 play. She is the daughter of a Muslim guy and Christian woman who have divorced. Her mother is taking great pride in the fact that they have "saved" her daughter from us. I wish our men would think twice before marrying a non- muslim woman. |

| It happens a lot. some times the kids find out about Islam and decide to become Muslim, but often not, often they follow their fathers example and marry a non Muslim spouse and the children from these have no connection to Islam what so ever. What people need to remember is every thing in western society pulls people away from Islam. So as both the home environment and the outside environment are non Islamic, the child has no access to Islam. I know of a example where it has worked, but that is the exception, not the norm, cause I know many of such marriages and only one where the kids are all OK. A lot of my friends are from such marriages, but they were all brought up as kaffars, they chose to become Muslim in adulthood, and often their siblings are still kaffar and their sisters have married kaffar men, and have had kids who are being bought up as kaffar. |

| A.W.W. I wish our men would think twice before marrying a non-muslim woman. The question to ask is why do they marry em...??? Perhaps they see a quality in them that they like. Or perhpas they have simply lost contact with their way of life Islam and are sucked in to a life which has no real purpose and goal and that they see as their success. Sadly for many it comes too late and the price to pay is often of hardship i.e. divorce, but lets not be hard on our folk who want to marry non muslim partners, let us not forget them, give them dawah and encourage them to follow the life of Islam. Who knows both partners can become sincere muslims. |
