When people with different religious beliefs become involved, there should be an agreement before they have children as to how they will raise them. There should never be a retroactive fight about it.
I was once asking a friend about one of his friends who I had met and who seemed nice. One of the things he told me was that she had children, she was Muslim, and anyone she dated would have to help her raise the children as Muslim.
I dropped my interest right there. I have nothing against Islam, but I cannot, myself, advocate it. I support her right to raise her children as she sees fit, and if she finds or has found someone who is willing to help her in that endeavor, then more power to her. But it's not something that I am willing to do. And it was much simpler to make this decision before hand then it would have been to bury the issue, get involved, then fight about it. |
