love/religion

Actually, I am Muslim too (long story). Marriages with a member of other religion are allowed, they just are said to be avoided of the female is Muslim.

That's a sad story. If I had a non-Muslim girlfriend, my parents wouldn't be too happy with it, but they wouldn't try to stop it, because my uncle was Muslim and he married a Orthodox woman (she's very nice). They live in Denmark now.

I believe that you should meet her parents, tell them the situation, show them that you're not the stereotype (the stereotype is that Americans are dumb as f*ck, unclean, and some other gruesome things).

Good luck!
