My name is Ana... I am a child of a muslim father
and a christian mother. My parents were divorced when
I was 2 yrs old and I was taken to Iraq just one day
before the custody hearing. My father returned w/o me
and left me with his sisters where I would be taken
care of. and while he was here he was trying to keep
his citizenship as well as trying to keep me... (there
is a lot more to this but I will leave it here...)

I wanted to give you some background so you knew
where I was coming from. I was eventually returned and
raised by my mother with my father only having
supervised visitation rights and then towards the
end of grade school and beginning of JR high he was able
to take me places and he built up that trust again
with my mom's family.

After High school I finally started wanting a
relationship with my father... I was quite distant
with him throughout the years... until the point I
came to know Christ... and realized that the least I
could do is forgive my father for hurting my mother's
family... because of what Christ did for me... so for
the last 10 yrs we have slowly been rebuilding our
relationship...

Now to get to the point here... my father still
thought of me as a Muslim regardless of what I SAID I
believed... his friends still think of me as being
Muslim... and mind you I was raised by my mother 98
percent of my life... yes my father tried to teach me
bit by bit of Islam... and I knew little by little...
but 98 percent was American typical Christian
raising... and he STILL thought of me as Muslim..

My father was trying to get me to marry my Muslim
cousin for several reasons... but one was so I would
continue to be Muslim w/my children etc... He has a true
hatred for Christianity... because he believes it
has taken me away from him... (he cant grasp the concept
that this is the mear reason I even accepted him
back
into my life for any period of time)..

Now that I am engaged to an EX Muslim man... my
father Hates Him (my fiance) and hates Christianity even more...

So anyway..(sorry for the rabbit trails)... children
will always be Muslim in a Muslim's eyes in a mixed
religion relationship... so Please I beg of you...
think more about the rest of your life and how it
will affect your children... how it will affect your
parents... how it will affect those whom you love...
other than him... and then even think about it from
his perspective... he doesn't realize now what he
will be thinking later... my father didnt...

you did not ask for my advice or opinion... so if you
do not want it... take it with a grain of salt... but
if you do want it... take everything to heart... and
pray continually and ask Christ to show you truth and
a way of escape from the relationship... with that
peace of what you are doing is right...

I say this in love for your future children.

Ana
