Man... just let your kid marry who they want, when they want. Problem solved.

It's not the worst thing in the world to marry a Black or White person. What does that matter, as long as they're Muslim?

And I think the whole getting engaged in high school is kinda wack; engagements break all the time too, you know.

Melting Pot

Take a pinch of white man
Wrap him up in black skin
Add a touch of blue blood
And a little bitty bit of red Indian boy
Oh like a Curly Latin kinkies
Oh Lordy, Lordy, mixed with yellow Chinkees, yeah
You know you lump it all together
And you got a recipe for a get along scene
Oh what a beautiful dream
If it could only come true, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

Rabbis and the friars
Vishnus and the gurus
We got the Beatles or the Sun God
Well it really doesn't matter what religion you choose
And be thankful little Mrs. Graceful
You know that livin' could be tasteful
We should all get together in a lovin machine
I think I'll call up the queen
It' s only fair that she knows, you know, you know

What we need is a great big melting pot
Big enough enough enough to take
The world and all its got And keep it stirring for a hundred years or more
And turn out coffee coloured people by the score

As-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaah,

I know plenty of Pakistani Americans that married Mexican Muslims or white Muslims. In terms of marriage, Pakistanis seem to be the most willing to marry a revert whereas other ethnicities take a little longer to accept reverts.
Im glad that Pakistanis marry outside of their ethnicity. It shows tolerance and the willingness to diversify. alHumdu-Lillaah

But then again, that is only my observation.
Oh and thats another reason why I love Pakistanis

Was-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahatullaah

Well, there are two kinds of acceptance. One is accepting them into the community, and I've found that to be pretty much the same across the board. Some arabs even accept reverts faster than Pakistanis, because some groups of Paksitanis seem to care more about culture than religion. When it comes to marriage though, I agree with you. Pakistani's seem more willing to marry reverts than arabs or other groups.

It happens for sure. But in my exceptionally limited experience, those are just girlfriends. Wives should be arab, hands down.

'Im gonna marry the 'arab guy, just you watch (Insha-Allaah)' Then came the:
'Im gonna marry a Latino guy, just you watch (Insha-Allaah). Then came the:
'Im gonna marry the mixed-guy, just you watch (Insha-Allaah)'

I soon reaized it wasnt happening...
so yea, AlHumdu-Lillaah, Im satisfied with whatever Allaah grants me if it pleases Him.

They start out as girlfriends then become wives.
