If your daughter said she's marrying a muslim,

<p>I would have my concerns if it was my D. I have several friends who married Muslim men who as some others have stated “changed”. I have one friend who is not allowed to wear shorts. (She is an athlete). Another who must show her husband each piece of clothing she buys. I know this is a bias of mine and there are marriages of muslim and american woman that run smoothly and equally. I also know there is the risk of a same religion man also being controlling.
I have a sister in law who was raised Muslim in a Middle Eastern nation. Her family is very liberal and supported her in her higher education in the US and have supported her in her marriage to a Christian male. They have also opened their hearts and homes to my brother. I asked her this question and she also felt that she would not want any of her nieces marrying a Syrian. (her country has had issues with Syria)
She also noted and I have observed over the years that she thought long and hard and waited for the right political time to take my brother back to her home country. Not because her family would not have welcomed him but that she feared for his life and safety. She has lived through enough times where it was not unusual for an American to be a candidate for kidnap. She felt that this is not the time in history to be an American in a Muslim country.</p>
