Very heart warming. I got married to a palestinian, all be it i reverted to Islam prior. As an English person. Going to middle east to meet the family (after marriage) was a total culture shock. But they were the most friendliest and welcoming people. Truely blessed. I hope your marriage is blessed and Allah guide you.

[@daheem24]

Heartwarming story. My wife and I went through something similar and its definitely not for the faint-hearted. A few extended family members broke bridges but support from our closer family helped us loads.

[@AlexandraRoseCooper]

I'm sorry to hear that but glad that your closer family helped 🥰

@@Finggy Just wondering is there a significant number of Indian Bengalis there and if yes, do the Bengalis of India and Bangladesh live in the same neighborhoods and get along with each other.

I love your videos. Enjoy your time in the Middle East. Mine is similar in story but slightly different. My wife is Egyptian, and she reverted from Islam to Christianity and is a very practising born-again Christian. We could not go to EGYPT because her family would kill her.

[@princessraj5921]

I am so happy she found Jesus as her savior it is the best feeling to have him in our hearts ❤. I hope Alexandra’s husband also finds Jesus and starts trying more of her culture. But yes unfortunately Islam can be a very controlling ideology and many ex-Muslims or even Muslims that embrace non-Muslims holidays can be threatened, disowned, killed, etc. I am thankful everyday I was not born into Islam and I am Catholic and my husband is Catholic. They are probably hesitant to do many videos of him doing Christian things due to fear for his safety unfortunately. Most Muslims are not as triggered by a Muslim man with a Christian wife because their religion says they are allowed people of the book but if they try to raise Christian kids his community with loose it. I wanted Catholic kids so I am happy my husband is Catholic it is hard raising kids interfaith especially with a controlling ideology like Islam that calls all non-believers derogatory terms like Kuffar and has a superiority complex.

[@ghg12374]

He is married to a Bangladeshi muslim. It is in south asia. Islam is perfect, muslims are not. I think you are bluffing or your wife was just a by name muslim who had no knowledge of islam or ever practiced it. You seem not a good christian either. Islam is morally on the higher ground than Christianity no doubt on that. Any logical person will worship One God rather than God in three persons or call human as a begotten son of God or believe his or her sins have taken away because God sacrificed his son. So bizarre and absurd for any rational thinker. It's like Hindu trimurti or Greek mythology. Actually when Romans accepted a middle eastern religion(and you hate middle east... 😂) they amalgamated greek gods with Christianity and distorted the true teaching of prophet Jesus christ (pbuh). Christians can't even defy who God really is properly. In Islam Jesus(pbuh) is respected and honoured more than in Christianity. Islam the only major religion on earth that gives Jesus(pbuh) on such high ground. Most ex- Christians are hoax. They pretend to be ex-muslim but many times they caught red handed.😂 Btw come back to absolute monotheism. Life is so short and a test. The only thing God says not gonna forgive is that associating partner with him. Jesus(pbuh) was a mighty messenger of one God. Have you ever read the Quran? Get a copy and give it a shot.

[@ghg12374]

​@@princessraj5921You have no idea about Islam. Not even basics whereas many of us know Christianity from our childhood. All you know about us is what shows your extremely biased media. We muslims never left Jesus christ(pbuh). In Quran He was called as messiah as well. No muslim is a muslim if he or she deny Jesus(pbuh) son of Marry(peace be upon her). We take Jesus christ as a mighty messenger of One God not son of God or God in human form. We also believe God saved him from humiliating death and took him alive. At the end of time He is gonna come back and kill Antichrist. We don't believe in original sin. We directly pray to God without any mediator not even Mohammad(pbuh) that Jesus christ prayed to. Jesus in the whole bible though corrupted and revised many times never sayed He is the God or to worship him. Earlier chriastians were muslims like Ebonites and others who took Jesus as messenger. Quran confirmed that as well. Later church made him a God and weird idea of trinity was made. Whole package of original sin was made attached with jesus crucifixion. We don't believe He was crucified. Btw Jesus was not his real name. He was middle eastern, a Palestinian man whose language was "Aramic".... He called God as 'Alaha' or 'Alah' or Ilah... Pretty close to Arabic Allah. His real name was "ISO" in Aramic. In arabic we call him Isa(pbuh). He was circumcised like muslims do. He never ate pork. He fasted like us. Whenever he prayed he prostrated like us. His mother Marry(Maryam) in Arabic used to cover her head like muslim women. Hijab is a sign of modesty not a oppression as you guys portrayed it. I am not going into the topic about what you said about Muslim men. Muslim men are real men and they know how to honour an opposite gender. Those who do otherwise aren't following Quran and sunnah. I am open for any question. Any question is a goid question whether about Islam, Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism or Buddhism. I am mere a layman muslim but i hope i can give you satisfactory answers. Islamophobia in west is rampant. Too many islamic countries are being destroyed and innocent peoples are dying because of dehumanization of Muslims by your media and ignorant prople like you. This needs to be stopped. Sorry for writing too long. But your ignirance about Islam made me write an essay.

[@ghg12374]

​​@@princessraj5921 what do you mean by controlling nature? You repeatedly used this term about muslim men?? I don't get it. Is taking responsibility for a family that is controlling?? In Islam women don't even have to work outside if she doesn't want to. It is obligatory for the husband to provide for her. Adultery and extramarital relationships are very common in your society.In islam and in any culture that has islamic background it's regarded as a great sin. The family structure is still intact and peaceful in a fully islamic society. You have no idea. "Kuffar" is not a derogatory term. It simply means 'disbeliever in islam'. A more appropriate meaning is who hides the truth. What's so derogatory here? You guys are worshipping a Human which is derogatory for Jesus christ himself because He never claimed himself God. Give me one verse from the bible where Jesus claimed himself God or to worship him. I am waiting. I challenge you there is not a single verse in the whole bible where Jesus HIMSELF said He is God or to worship him. And it's not a superiority complex. It's love and caring for our christian brothers and sisters that we want them to go to paradise. You guys know very little about other Abrahamic faiths not even your own scriptures. Most of the muslims know the basics of christian faith. But very few Christians know the basics of Islam. You also talked about ex muslims. Most of them are hoaxes. Also why do we see only channels about ex muslims not ex christians or ex hindus??? And if Islam is so strict about ex muslims how do they roam freely even in muslim majority countries??? If you wanna know anything about islam and muslim men and women just ask. I am here for you. But don't claim you know everything and spread hatred about Islam and Muslims in general.

[@princessraj5921]

@@ghg12374 I dated a Muslim man before I know how it goes…….If you have not been a Christian woman being approached by Muslim men you do not know how it feels. And I don’t have to work outside the home if I don’t want to. My Catholic husband can support me. And no among practicing Christians adultery it’s a big sin and we wouldn’t do that. I have seen plenty of more liberal Muslim men partying with Western girls…..And Kuffar is used in a derogatory way a lot I definitely do not want to be called that. And I study the Bible a lot it says all through the Bible how God sent his only son to save us. I love Jesus and hope all Muslims come back to Christianity since they were led astray by a false prophet. How can you think a man who married a child is credible? How can you think I wouldn’t find a religion or ideology controlling that tries to control me in every way. Women in Islam are constantly judged by what they wear the traditionalists would have them in black burqas I have even heard Islamic scholars say even our voices can entice men. It is utterly ridiculous how Islam views women. And just the fact so many ex-Muslims have to hide their identities due to facing death under Islamic Law or retaliation from family members or their communities shows how controlling this ideology can be. I certainly wouldn’t get involved in it. And I say superiority complex because many Muslims say it is haram to even acknowledge another faith’s holidays. Whereas pretty much all other religions can celebrate and acknowledge other faiths without an issue. But Muslims say Merry Christmas and the haram police snap and point out how it is haram. But for instance, my husband and I celebrate other faiths celebrations if invited to join. But with Islam it is so much harder to do interfaith activities.

Islam is the Absolute Truth, our Creator has blessed us with the guidance of Islam to protect us and our family, and guide us to righteousness and heaven. Jesus PBUH is a beloved messenger of God, believing that a human is God is blasphemous. Ask God for guidance to the Truth, May God give your family success.

[@princessraj5921]

Jesus warned people of beguilers like your prophet who would lead people astray by denying Jesus is the son of God….

[@lM-zr5vu]

@@princessraj5921 God is absolutely One, believing that God has a son is believing that God is multiple, therefore you would be a polytheist. God warned you against polytheism. Believing that Jesus PBUH is God is believing that God has needs, Jesus needed water, food, sleep, a toilet and Many more things. GOD HAS NO NEEDS, God is totally Independent and Self- Sufficient. God explicitly says that He is Immortal, but you believe God Jesus died on a ❌. God says He is All-Powerful, but you believe the Romans overpowered God Jesus. Jesus PBUH says that not a letter of God's word shall be changed, but Christians today don't keep the Sabbath, eat pork when it is forbidden, drink alcohol when it is forbidden, eat British blood pudding when consuming blood is forbidden, etc etc etc.... all this because most christians believe that Paul has abolished the law of God.. So... The person who you have been warned about is the person who changed Jesus PBUH teaching, and is the founder of Christianity 🥁🥁🥁 PAUL. 😘😘😘 Prophet Muhammad PBUH was send to undo the damage to Gods teachings, the corruption of God's texts, the abolition of God's laws... Prophet Muhammad PBUH was sent to undo the damage from PAUL. And you are most welcome to Islam, the Only monotheistic religion, the true teaching of Jesus PBUH, Moses PBUH, Muhammad PBUH and All the Prophets of God.

[@canders207]

@@princessraj5921the trinity was created 400 years after Jesus was alive

[@princessraj5921]

@@lM-zr5vu Pork and alcohol have never been forbidden for Christians. Jesus turned water into wine and drank wine himself. The wine represented the blood of Christ. Wine is literally a big part of our church service. I am not sure who told you we cannot have alcohol and we do not follow the Old Testament the Jewish people follow that we follow the New Testament with Jesus. Jesus did not create any dietary restrictions for us and pork was dangerous to eat 2000 years ago but nowadays it is perfectly safe so no issue. And I do not understand why you trust a man who married a little girl, waged wars, kept sex slaves, had 9-11 wives. Like what would make you trust him over Jesus and Paul? I trust him much less he seems like a beguiler he built his empire through war and pillaging. I prefer Jesus who came in peace.

[@ghg12374]

​@@princessraj5921Only Muhammad (pbuh) the last messenger honoured Jesus christ(pbuh). No other religion on earth ever recognises Jesus(pbuh). Son of God... Hah. Do you know how many times 'son of God' comes in the bible for different prophets and even tribes??? In psalm David was even called 'begotten son of God'. Are you aware of that? 'Son' is a term used out of endearment. We muslims have no objections to that. But if you say begotten then there is. In the Quran God says "It is not [befitting] for Allah to take a son; exalted is He! When He decrees an affair, He only says to it, "Be," and it is. Pickthall: It befitted not (the Majesty of) Allah that He should take unto Himself a son. Glory be to Him!

I am open-minded but I think my mom never allowed me to marry a non-muslim girl.

[@ghg12374]

In Islam it is permissible for muslim men to marry people of books meaning Jews and christians. Show it to your mother.

[@newaulk]

The money giving thing is actually a Muslim tradition. Some families still practice it, some don't. It is practiced in Pakistani, and also Arab cultures, apart from Bengali muslim culture. Usually it is a blessing from the elders. In your case, it also meant they liked you enough to bless you.
