i don't like interracial marriages....

[convert]

its a common problem, one that i have run into before. unfortunately, the problem stems mostly to convert brothers and i would reckon that if the brother in question had the chance to marry a white convert sister, he would jump at the chance with little to no resistance from his family.

this nonsense needs to be stamped out quick, fast, and in a hurry if the ummah hopes to progress past petty nationalistic issues.

its tough for white converts but even harder for the black and chinese converts in this regard, i have noticed

I am Indonesian.
I know some Indonesian people who married White men/women or even married black African or American Latinos. Indonesian people can accept interracial marriages.

There are lots of Chinese, Pakistani/Indian and Arab who are living in Indonesia. They are not imigrant, but born in Indonesia.

About Chinese. Marriages between Indonesian and Chinese is not a rare case. My cousin and some of my friends married Chinese, even I have Chinese blood. They have no problem with their marriages. But maybe that's because racial diversity between Chinese and Indonesia is not so far. Chinese are Mongoloid and Indonesia are Malayan, branch of Mongoloid.

However, I see Pakistani/Indian in Indonesia always marry another Pakistani/Indian or at least, marry Arab.
And Arab in Indonesia always marry another Arab or at least marry Pakistani/Indian. Pakistani/Indian and Arab in Indonesia never marry Indonesian. Frankly, I don't know why ?

PS : This is not a racist question, I just want to know.

Do you not like the idea of an interracial marriage for yourself, or the idea of interracial marriage in general?

If it's the former, then that's your business, that's really racist. At the end of the day we are all Muslim, one ummah. Bro have you ever read the last sermon of the Prophet Muhammad salAllaahu 'alayhi wasalam, he spoke exactly about this.

Reverts/converts whatever you want to call them, are usually from families that hate islam and once their family finds out they have no place to go. And through all of their trials and tribulations just trying to fight to keep their deen they still have their imaan intact. So please do not make gross generalisations that have no real bearing, because it's actually quite the opposite most reverts are very religious some might say even more religious than ''born Muslims'' because they've been convinced about Islam and they fought for it.

And finally, I'd just like to say. Do you only hang around Pakistani people? Do you not have any other friends from different races? Cause the way you think is really close-minded inshaAllaah you become a little more open-minded about this.

Even though I prefer my own race over others, it doesn't mean I have to hate other races. In fact, most of my friends are from different races marrying from my own race is just a personal choice. And because of that I don't think reverts are ''less religious'' than born Muslims, I don't think I have to compromise my own culture for another, and I don't hate their food. Those are really trivial things bro, and when it comes down to it the child will most likely have a better understanding of different cultures since he/she will come from one inshaAllaah.

It's all about understanding each other's differences and making the effort. And if it has no place in Islam, then we leave it. Period.

listen i did have a few non-pakistani friends as well, but i prefer having to hang out with my own race more, because it is better, another thing is, allah didn't really make us all the same, because we speak different languages and have different cultures and people look different from one another, i wish allah would make more twins in this world, because i find twins to be amazing

well if indonesians can understand other races i guess they can marry another race, but to tell you the truth, i was thinking about marrying a indonesian or malaysian girl though, because i find them just as attractive as the girls in pakistan.

attractive how? like outwardly or with their level of belief and the amount of worship they perform towards Allah?

the way they look and it depends on how they worship.

probably the first. i think the brother just has problems with pakistani woman, particularly his sisters/cousins/female relatives in general marrying non-pakistanis.

 

[User_23338]

everyone should stick to own race:thumbs_up

exactly, why can't people just marry there own race?

marry other people doesn't look good, it looks messed up to me.

im not narrow or closed minded, im just saying.

my other post was deleted even thought it contained valid criticism. at any rate, i will summarize:

if people should stay to their own race then i wouldn't be getting married as there aren't a lot of muslim sisters my race and arab/desi brothers snatch them up as soon as they take shahadah.

and yes, it is close minded and somewhat racist. both of you need to check yourself and read what the prophet (saw) said in the arafat sermon and look at not only his marriages, but the marriages of other sahabah

 

[Rabi'ya]

that's what I was thinking too I'd still be single and would not have my beautiful daughter.

Does MrKhan think that it is better for people to stay single rather than marrying antoher race? or is this just his personal opinion about his own situation?

Please someone just close this thread down!!
