Would You Feel Discomfort if Your Child Dated a Muslim?

[Frodo]

Would you?

[Intell]

I would feel discomfort if my child dated a muslim, christian or any other religion apart from hinduism, or an agnostic that partakes in nepali cultural traditions.

[JA]

Not at all. My closest friend is a practicing Muslim woman and, while I am not interested in her like that, I would have no issue whatsoever in dating a Muslim, nor would I object to my child dating a Muslim. They are, on average, wonderful people.

[Illiniwek]

Yes, but it would really be the same for any non-Catholic.

[Xing]

No, considering I have a family member who is Muslim.

No (sane, normal, etc.)

The thread title and poll questions seem to me asking two different questions. Would I "feel discomfort"? Yes, because I would worry about the religious upbringing of any children. But saying I would be uncomfortable suggests something more constant, whereas for me  it would be a matter of having mixed feelings as I feel there is value in Islam as well and have good feelings toward many Muslims.

you mean an agnostic that doesn't partake in nepali traditions, yes?

[Santander]

Yes, but I would understand as there are many beautiful Lebanese, Iranian, Azeri, Jordanian and Kazakh women.

[RINO Tom]

No (R).  "Discomfort" is too strong of a term, IMO.  However, if I'm being honest, I would prefer that my child end up with a Lutheran or other Mainline Protestant in a perfect world.

[SATW]

If I have children, they will marry Jewish.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

I would be more uncomfortable if they dated someone who constantly needed to let everyone know that organized religion is a "scam" or something.

This would, indeed, be the worst of fates.

In any case, who cares if they're Muslim? At least it's not a Protestant.

Yes. But mostly because I would prefer that they date a Mormon, as I said in the other poll.

Ah.  Commas are tricky.

[Associate Justice PiT]

     I would be fine with it, so long as the Muslim in question did not support Sharia law or Jihad.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I don't want children.  But if I were to have them, I would want them to be dating either a lapsed (believing) Catholic or mainline Protestant.  I would want them to have Jesus in their life but I also would not want to lose them to a fundamentalist just as I would not want to lose them to a person who leads them from Christ.  I don't know which of those outcomes would be worse for me, honestly.  But I realize that I'm an odd breed and this is one of the many reasons I neither plan on having children or on entering a romantic relationship with anybody.  So this isn't something I have to worry about.

No.

Glad I'm not religious anymore, you people are f**king crazy.

Why aren't you locking this one too, Torie?
