She's A Christian,am A Muslim. Can This Marriage Work?

What else would you love the best, apart from Yoruba women since you came from one and obviously are one as well (i.e Yoruba that is). What else would you love apart from being a muslim when that is all you know and were born into.(Please no we are all muslims when we are born BS)

How could you know anything outside of that since you are unfortunatley a subjective being.

And how is experiencing life as Yoruba or having more commonalities with one another any different from any Human you have come across on this planet and why would you have to explain that to me knowing that every one experiencies the same as you.

That's why you are propelled to respond to me is because in that complex brain of yours, you respond only to one stimuli, which is the sensation you get thinking you have reached nirvana and the comfort in most of your delusions of grandeur which you are compelled to share with others cause it gives your life meaning and sets you above others which unfortunately most human minds crave.

Mind you I am still answering the poster's questions. You are only concentrating on the "black, ewedu eating part".Anyone just has to look a little deeper to figure out what I am insinuating.

@KarmaMod: I think the youth in you is running amock. Now are you man crazy or promiscuous? Afterall, you are a yoruba woman. I spoke about a specific yoruba woman, who said she was boy crazy, while she was a muslim. Obviously, she was not actually practicing Islam then, because she would have known it was a wrong idea to be that boy crazy.

Later she left Islam for christianity where the rule about boy and girl mixing up is not as hard and defined. I wonder if she dropped the boy craziness, even now, considering that somebody ask if she was looking and her affirmed. There is nothing wrong in being whatever she wants to be. There is nothing wrong in you being what you wanna be.

Obviously, you are not for or less yoruba than me. I come from a large family of almost 40 siblings. You can imagine how many sisters from there, nieces and then cousins. From my parents' extended home there are two royalties. And in the days, unlike now, these kings have tons and tons of children. So you can imagine how many aunts and great aunts and even cousins and great cousins that I do have. Anyone who is a yoruba with the last name of Ojomo is related to me by mother's side.

Now, some of my nieces are still virgins. So for you to just open your mouth and say that I considered all Yoruba women as boy crazy and promiscuous is silly and dishonest. Will I say that all non-muslim women are terrible or all muslim women are good, such statement will be pure lie.

Kini mo tie nba iwo omode yi so? O she wa si Manhattan wa mu mi? lol. Mo raye ni mo tie nda e lowun. I dont know why I should pay attention to your baseless complaint.

Mo sha ti so fun e pe ko wa mu mi ni Manhattan. In case you don't know, the Yorubas dont use e for agbalagba in the ta lo ron e nse, which you wrote above. Rather it is yin as in ta lo ron yin nse.

I guess your yoruba cultural respect is lost by the gain that you have made in america. As stated again, wa mu mi.

You must be bushy. I stop for a moment to wonder how you have been raised. Everything is curse word or juju. Is this the christian part of you or the Oloogun or Juju fetish part of you? I wonder if there is no homeless people in Beverly Hills; Nick Nolte and betty Midler movie about homelessness comes to mind.

Take your heart from the bush for a moment. We know you are in america. America is not in you, yet. But of course there are many bushy places in america, too. So am not surprised about your thinking. You need to see many places and many people.

May your akobi position be secured. Pele. Your one liner and ameebo responses is less that from people of Nursery School age. Ogaa o.

When a person says 'wa mu mi', it simply says that your statement is really an effective statement. We are on discussion board, but we must still be honest, in dialogue.

Brash! You're back! Welcome bro! 

*yawns* static noise. NYC and LA are neck in neck for the award for the "most bums in a city", so that's a terrible example you used.

Translate "wa mu mi" in English please specifically "wa mu mi ni Mahattan". I suggest you stop deceiving yourself. what ever kind JUJU you have waiting for yourself in Manhattan ko le mu mi! 

That aside, did you not see the "cross necklace" on your ex wife's neck when you were going after her/before marriage? why did it suddenly start to annoy you abi you figured once she married you, she'd throw it all away

Strong woman  You sure Frizy isnt your son?

Barakah,
My advice to you is, Make her see good Reason why she should revert to a Muslim. The Holy book says, you can marry a woman for her beauty, wealth and religion. and further says the best is religion.

@Morpheus24: What was point again, apart from; "Black, ewudu eating yoruba Muslim woman?"

Morpheus24, until just the last 4 or so years, my lovely mother was a Christian. She raised me.  Today at least 2 of the women that make my heart skip a beat are not Yorubas.  I guess the black, and ewedu eating things dont matter. lol.

Why aren't the children swayed to the "truth" of the koran. 

@Bawomolo: « #53 on: Today at 06:26:26 AM » 

The same reason people, especially young people will engage in riskie actions (immoral sexual acts, even with the danger of catching HIV, other transmittal diseases or becoming a parent and "spouse" to a wrong partner), drinking, smoking and snorting, or inhaling (glue, paints, etc) and drag racing, as in playing Chicken, etc. Inshort, just because it is seductive, looks good from the outside, since personal responsibility is shun (put all of that on Jesus death on the cross). Is there a reality with the Creator in this reason; Jesus takes all their sins? Of course, no!

Just like men piercing their ears to wear earring, this days. I hope you blokes are not earring wearers? Is there a real estetic quality to it, except that a man is changing his appearance to look like a woman, since there is no real romantic or masculine projection through it? And Bawomolo, you must have heard the true saying; Truth is bitter? Really who is a muslim except a true believer, considering that it constrains or curtails so much of your "freedom", compared to Christianity that allows you to do all that you want, when you want it, as long as you belief in the death!

The same reason you don't end up being a Doctor, even though you have the brain! Well, just like you said to me; I dont wanna spend many more years studying. The same way people want the easy way out. Afterall, a mere testimony that Jesus will save them by his "death on the cross" makes the "High Level Allah (God) Who is Invisible, etc, accepting Muhammad (AS) as the Messenger to be followed, making 5 Salah every day,  giving Zakah and Sadaqah, Fasting, making Pilgrimage, and doing good and shunning evil (illegal sex as in fornication with boyfriend and or girlfriend, homosexualism, and many other heartsore and eyesore behaviors) the more unappealling.

Its too much hard work, just like too much of the years to study medicine. Yet a musician who put his heart to it, with determination and great perseverance and adequate focus, will in less than a decade becomes an MD!

By the way, it is not true that they never end up as muslims. My sister and I are both muslims, from a "christian mother" to a Muslim father (ra). Thank Allah, the same "christian mother" is today a "muslim mother!"  It is harder, and the chance of the children going to the mother side is high since she is the nurturer. Who should have to start out with such an unpredictability?

@Bawomolo



Its not like that. its just that man makes house, woman makes homes. Man doesnt spend their times like women when it comes to rearing children. Wifes tends to be closer to children than men and as a result of this the christian wife would have upper hand in preachig her religion to the kids. It could go well for the husband if he is not the lazy one but the type that has both Islaic and Biblical knowledge.

I know of christian ladies that accepted Islam and never go to back to christianity. It all depends on the husband and the way he treats Christianity. Islam shouldnt be forced on her but should be allowed to see reasons why Islam is the truth. Study both religion together, ask her questions on her faith and allow her to do same too. Before you know it, she would accept it but most people treat christian wives as if they are forcing them to accept Islam.

There are different ways, methods of bringing people to Islam.

Peace

They will in the future. But the future is not the present. But until the future, the parents will just have to worry and pray for Allah/God Mercy on the child. That used to ask could be used to seek for other important things, if marriage to disbeliever was avoided, at the start. Who likes to complicate his life? For sure not me. Thats why I am sticking by my Muslim woman. I dont want that kinda test!



The truth is complex for many minds, including yours, man. No wonder the children find truth hard to swallow.
Bawomolo, am sorry man, the truth hurts. You live in Chitown. Look around man. Islam has gained many matured souls. There are Nigerian Masajid in there. I know. I have seen many of them in New York for dawah.

As far as i know in Islam a muslim lady is not allowed to marry a non muslim. It is as simple as that and no scholar would tell you otherwise. I am in no way to judge people or assess their situations but that is just the islamic opinion on the issue. The issue of age i dont think is a condition for doing it as far as i know and i understand many people are in this situation. I have a very close relative who did the same and her arguement was age wasnt on her side.

Marriage i reckon should not be something one chooses a person due to fear of growing out of the marriage market likewise one should not be too picky as well.

God knows best!!!
