^That is exactly what I was wondering. PUH-lease don’t tell me you think they are saints and your husband should have similar sentiments?

He gave his negative comment abt the suicide boomer in Palestine. He said just because the Palestinians believe the land belong to them it doesn’t make it right for them to keep killing innocents people. I told them if one day his race took over Malaysian govt the same thing will happen. Why/ because when you been opposed, denied of your rights etc - you will fights back. He said oh no .. we are not like Muslim who follow a thousand hundred old book in their life. He said we chinese only think abt making money and not about who is holier than us.

Also, I’m skimmed through this thread and you seem to be nitpicking on only fractions of actual Islam. When you get so clinical about certain things (moon cake) you make your frustration of his lack of faith even more frustrating…for him. No wonder he’s showing no interest in it. Look, if you want him to see your perspective, you have to not make it so hard for him, especially when he pretty much changed every aspect of his life just to marry you!

Since you skipped some of my post it’s no point for me to explain more.

Try telling him about the Islam you don’t hear about in the news and give examples of things like love, woman’s rights and respect and tolerance for other religions and people.

I know there is no compulsion in religion. But it’s my duty to tell him the wrong and the right. To show him the guide line that I and him should follow as a muslim. What we called that? dakwah? pls stop assuming I do “preaching” and “forcing” in this case. As I said earlier I teach him the basic things little by little day by day.

I am an atheist but even I get very emotional when I read those kinds of things and I find Islam to be a beautiful religion, it just gets misinterpret because people like yourself cling on to the smaller things and don’t look at the bigger picture of Islam as a religion of tolerance, respect, love and peace. I think you need to change your outlook on your faith and also appreciate his sacrifices as well.

That’s why you should not skipped my post - I told earlier he went to the graveyard to performing the prayer on ghost fastival. Do you know what is “ghost fastival” is? let me explain - on this day, the chinese (with their kids) will go to their grandfather grave - they will put all kinds of delicious foods next to the grave. They will make a pray - ask the dead to protect them, to bless them etc. Do you think that is right in Islam? Also when you have a newborn they want you to perform prayer to their ancestor - burn the skinny stick and you have to bow to the red wood that have your family name on it. Is that right in Islam? That called syirik! Since you are atheist I dont think you know abt this.
