Her parents have said plenty of times they’re Muslims. No-one on here would assume just cos they’re from Afghanistan they would be.

The family of Simon Cowell’s fiancée Mezhgan Hussainy reportedly want the X Factor boss to convert to Islam if the couple are to wed. According to Heat, Hussainy’s sister-in-law Erlene Garcia was asked to convert before marrying her brother Wahid. A source said of Hussainy’s Afghanistan-born parents Mary and Sayed:** ‘They’re very Westernised, but no-one in their family has ever married a non-Muslim - and they’re not willing for their youngest daughter to become the first.’**
However, a friend of Hussainy added: ‘Mezhgan is very reluctant about asking Simon to convert… and she knows how controversial it will be.’ Simon might be a big deal in the UK, but there are other people in the Afghan community in Los Angeles who her parents will be more afraid of offending.‘It would bring shame on their family and community if Simon did not respect their beliefs.’
