Should I dump my girlfriend for converting to Islam?
I’m not happy about her being an islamist. But is it a dumpable offence? She seems keen on it. She’s never expressed any religious views before. I’m agnostic, and it doesn’t sit well with me.

    She may blow you up. I think that qualifies as a ‘dumpable offence.’

    i hope she dumps you first ;)

  3. amin4622 Says:

    Its up to you. However, talk to her about your concerns and talk about how you don’t like the fact she converted to Islam.

  4. kinetochore Says:

    Try to reason with her by pointing out some of the problems and inconsistencies. She’ll likely dump you before you get the chance to end it with her.

  5. A♥ Says:

    Is part of her religion having a negative affect on your relationship?

    If it is, talk to her about it but don’t blame it on her new beliefs. If the problems are insolvable, then maybe a break up is your only option.

  6. Alexis Says:

    I would.

    But then, I wouldn’t continue a romantic relationship with someone who converted to *any* religion, except maybe Buddhism. We could still be friends, but a religious person is not romantically compatible with me.

    No, she ought to dump YOU and find a really good guy.

  8. Gastounet Says:

    It’s not nice to dump someone because they get sick dear. Help with treatment if you can. Schizoid delusional mental disorder can often be treated today.

  9. Ahmed Says:

    get a life and leave her

  10. tato Says:

    if you love her then just dont dump her .. if she is a muslim then it doesnt mean that she will turn into some kind of terrorist or anything … if you dump her then it will seem racist .. so just stay with her as long as you both love each other .. if you dump her then she will feel really bad and i dont think that you wanna hurt her

  11. elegantelephants2 Says:

    No, that’s hardly fair– but maybe she’s too good for you.She’s probably sees that now and as an “islamist” is phoning you now to dump you for being a louse– and because Muslims do not date.

    Islamnist…..

    *heehee*

  12. Greg Says:

    To each his own but if she becomes Muslim you will have to convert too in her eyes and will never hear the end of that.

    I couldn’t do it-but maybe others can I don’t know.

  13. Space kitty Says:

    well if shes serious then ya. Shes not going to put out so its 100% dumpable.

  14. P'rushim Says:

    …nah, let her go for it… she now has to be subservient to you and you can marry her and “3″ other islamic broads as well ! …also, you can “beat” her too ! (Qu’ran 4:34)

  15. magicofdawn (again) Says:

    Technically she should dump you since Muslims are not allowed to date. Also, Muslim women cannot marry anyone that is not a Muslim. You are no longer good enough for her, so you should dump her before she dumps you. Tell her you’re just respecting her belief, lol.

  16. Not Afraid 2 Stand Alone Says:

    I think you also should convert to Islam.

  17. BPD, SMOUTED by a Bran Muffin Says:

    Barney will be there to comfort her.

  18. fluffy Says:

    Yep, I think it is grounds to dump her. Tell her it’s you or her new religion. One of them has to go.

  19. 1saintofGod Says:

    You need to pray for her that much the more as if, her life depends on it, and it does, for that religion will only be used of Satan to drag her into an eternal lost unbearably tormenting hell. Do you ever want to see her or anyone in such a place? The choice is up to you. I think you know what needs to be done.

  20. Samian's Sixth Account Says:

    Dump her…my first love was a devout Muslim…we were “together” for eighteen months…you can’t believe how much it got on my nerves!

  21. Whatever Says:

    Yes, DUMP HER! Islam is not a religion that is tolerant of views other than its own. The deeper she gets into it, the more she will try to push her beliefs off on you. Sooner or later you two will break up anyway. In the Muslim religion women are only allowed to marry other Muslims, and if you were to have children I’m pretty sure she would want them raised as muslims. So get out now!

  22. Florence B Says:

    You need to decide what you believe. And why. If you are truly agnostic, what do you care that your girlfriend is Islamist. There is no God, so let her have her delusions.

    You sound confused. You may have a sense that there is …something…but what?

    Try http://www.intouch.org

    It helped me a lot.

    You have some thinking to do. And now is the time. And remember that picture of Jesus that we all ‘see’ and ‘recall’. He is dressed in white robes and holding a lantern. He is bending down and knocking at the door. The door has no handle on the outside. It is up to the person whether or not to let Him in. But Jesus keeps on knocking.

    Just a thought. If you were truly agnostic you wouldnt even be here asking the question.

    In my opinion. But since you asked…..

    And think why are you not happy with your girlfriends decision?

  23. Hunter Kat JPA Says:

    answer: you may not have a choice – Muslim women aren’t allowed to marry non-Muslim men. If you’re not interested in converting, she can’t marry you (or sleep with you). No one is more a fanatic than a new convert – she’s likely to shut down your relationship if it includes sex and you aren’t interested in becoming a Muslim.

  24. Funky Lilith Says:

    If this becomes the main incompatibility between the both of you, then you best part. Religious and/or political views are difficult to share at the best of times in any relationship but if they come to hinder a romantic involvement then it isn’t worth pursueing the attachment. Some will argue that catholics and protestants have cohabitated and even formed alliances in Ireland just fine. Some will argue that being a Muslim isn’t a dumpable reason.

    I say, go with your heart, with what feels best for you. Ultimately whatever decision you come to make will be the best possible one, whatever it may be.

    Good luck, it must be awkward to be in your shoes at the moment.
