What should I do when my boyfriend disrespects my religion?

Well my boyfriend and I have been together for 1 and a half years and everytime we touch upon the subject of muslims or religion he starts to disrecpect me and my religion and we get into a huge arguement. I am a muslim But im a nice person and I dont believe in suicide bombings and im not an extremist. And whatever he reads on the internet about muslims he believes and then insults me and other muslims. He generalises, hes very ignorant and extremely arrogant. And it really hurts me everytime he does this. The thing is he wasnt like this a year ago, he’s made new friends and I think they are corrupting him, his overall personality has changed. I dont know what to do, I love him but hes changing and I really dont want to have to break up with him. What should I do? Im losing sleep over it.

Answer #1

next time he puts up a fight about break up with him if he comes back then hell realize how bad it has become and he’ll notice your relationship is much more important and how much he has changed. My best wishes to u! and believe me hell come back if he misses u

Answer #2

You need to talk to him, tell him that it hurts you when he disrespects your religion because its so much apart of who you are. If he listens, then it all worked out, if not its time to find someone else- someone who will respect you and your religion.

Answer #3

let him know hwo you feel. Sit down and talk with him(key word WITH). Also get his point of veiw, ask him why he does it, his feelings, points of veiws. F he has a religion or belief, ask him how he would like it if you did the same to him. Just have a TALK(no screaming or yelling, be calm, don’t get attitude or upset) about it, let him know.

Answer #4

thanks everyone, and well I have spoken to him many times about it before, but I tend to get to upset and or mad and then he denies hes disrespecting it at all but ill try to talk with him again and try to be calm

and thanks ethmer im aware of what non muslims think about muslims and hes an example of what a lot think and I agree, if I were a non muslim and didnt know the truth of the religion I too would think the same. I have explained to him tho but I wil show him the sites. :)

Answer #5

It is difficult for us non-Muslims to understand the positive purpose of Islam when there is so much publicity about those who corrupt its message.

I’d suggest that you try to get him to check out

http://www.islamreligion.com/

to find out a little about what it really is about.

If he wants to HEAR the Quran translated into English, have him check out:

http://www.quranexplorer.com/quran/default.aspx?Translation=Eng-Pickthal-Audio

He would be able to see that it is a valid religion based on much of the Old Testament.

Answer #6

talk to him about it, tell him it hurts you or you dont like it. if he loves he’ll stop.

Answer #7

you should try to reach out to him and explain how your religion is apart of you and if he cant except that, you should move on to someone who is not gonna generalize and belittle you

Answer #8

Talk to him about it. Let him know that while you respect his opinion, that it hurts your feelings and that you’d appreciate it if he didn’t say thing like that to you. If he cares about you and your feelings, he’ll stop. If he doesn’t stop, do what you think would make you the most happy in the long run.

Answer #9

first off, does he know that this is what you’re feeling? have you talked to him and told him that you don’t like how he’s disrespecting the religion? if you have and he does then he’s just being a jerk. if he’s changed overall that’s not good. especially if you don’t like the changes. the truth is that sometimes love is just not enough. sometimes the best thing to do is break up. of course it should be the last resort though. good luck. and I hope he becomes more respectful.

Answer #10

hes just being racist. you should leave him and go on with your life. get someone who is nicer
