"Remember MLK, who led millions of blacks through the streets of America to protest against institutionalized racism?" You couldn't say it better Aaliyah.It is time that we place humanity before our religious beliefs.I am proud to see a Nepali "Rosa Parks" in the making.A liberal muslim is rare but their voice are as astronomical as that of Salman Rushdie's words.Remember Salman is dating a hindu actress Padma-Laxmi.Islam needs reform so does every other belief system including our own.Reformation always starts with our mind.There is deficiency of tolarent minds. As long as your BF maintains his liberal views towards other cultures and treats you with dignity....there is no problem with spending rest of your life with him. P.S:You have mentioned about America being land of the free and home of the brave.America and the world has a long way to go to materialize their dreams of social justice.MLK dreams are far from reality in America.I am just warning you American freedom looks as real as plastic fruits but for the foreigners/immigrants esp. after 9-11 that are are not eatable. One-sided and biased posts as you have witnessed above are the main reasons our society is facing insurgency from our brothers and sisters.We have a long way to go sister. Hope you a happy married life.
