Here, a social issue of male dominance affecting today’s Indian women is eloborated using a few examples (also see the table). If you are one of them, speak out!
Aamir Khan vs. Shah Rukh Khan:
InterfaithShaadi admires Aamir Khan for his acting skills, for making beautiful movies like PK, and his messages in Satya Mev Jayate TV series. However, is Aamir following what he preaches?
Aamir’s following statement is absolutely incomprehensible.
Aamir Khan married to two Hindu women and made this statement, “But, of course, I had made it very clear that MY kids will always follow only Islamic religion.”
Lets analyze above statement:
This statement, “But, of course, I had made it very clear”, does not sound like a compromise in family life but an overriding demand.
Why Aamir said “MY” kids instead of “our” kids? Why there is no respect for the woman who carried (or will carry) babies for 9 months? How come the man who gives sperm has all rights for children and not the mother who breast feed and raise their children?
Why he did not say our kids will be 50%-50% Hindus and Muslims? Why 100% Islam and 0% Hinduism? Is this EQUALITY? Which of PK Gods is teaching such partiality?
Why “…only following Islamic religion”? Are his not Hindu-Muslim marriages? Is that because Islam is superior over other faiths?
Why did he not said,… “We will let our kids decide their own religious fate”? Why religion of a child MUST be decided at the time of birth? Which God is teaching us to do religious “labeling” on a child? Why not an interfaith child be given a choice to decide his or her religious fate as an adult, like Barack Obama (father Muslim, mother Christian, but he made his own choice as an adult)? Is this not fair on the interfaith child?
Is Aamir a symbol of male dominance? Should all husbands learn to rule over their wife like him? Is this the image of India (male dominance) that today’s Indian women proud to display to the World? Is the year 2015 not a time to change this?
Is Aamir a progressive thinker? Why Aamir Khan don’t learn to respect to wife and her faith from Shah Rukh Khan (SRK: “children should know about value of God, weather it is a Hindu God or Muslim God.”)? We salute SRK!
If Aamir (PK) is searching for God in subways, mandirs and churches, should not he first start from his own home by respecting his wives? Is Aamir dialing a “wrong number”?
Is it okay for Indian leaders to preach one thing in public but do different for his/her own life?
Male dominance is a common issue (all faiths) in India. Think on these:
• Why a new bride is suppose to give up her birth religion 100% and adapt husbands?
• Why the husband-wife cannot share 50%-50% faiths (even 30%-70%)? Which God will be unhappy sharing?
• Is faith an “ON” and “OFF” switch? Are women men’s toys?
• Why the wife don’t have rights to share with her children her beautiful memories from her childhood, her experiences of different festivals and her beliefs in God?
• In some cases, today’s women are earning higher salary compared to their husbands; still after coming home, the wife is expected to cook, clean dishes and take care of kids, while the husband relaxes! Is wife husband’s slave?
• Is not this male-dominance practice cruelty on today’s women?
• Is this not a time for change?
Read views and experiences of different women on InterfaithShaadi. Is this fair? If you have such experience, share it and we will update the table below:
| Name | Her Pain | Is this fair? |
|---|---|---|
| Adi | He is adamant about the fact the children are his right and only his. He says its not the religion, he would claim his rights as a father even if he was Hindu and i was Muslim. Thats true. My sister’s kid has her father’s name and caste, not my sisters. But I would have asked for “my Rights” even if I was Muslim and he a Hindu. Tell me, am I wrong? Is it against the norm of the society for children to follow mothers religion if she wants?” | 🙁 |
| SSS | I (Muslim) love a Hindu man …I am proud Muslim and I want to remain as Muslim but my lover wants me to convert (to Hinduism). What to do whether I leave him and marry to my family choice or convert to Hinduism to marry him. I love him as much as I love Islam. | 🙁 |
| Agnotist | In the later stage of our relationship, he disclosed that his kids would have to be muslim. But I could be what I want. This was not reasonable to me. I think if your having an inter religious marriage you should be tolerant to your partners beliefs. I wanted my kids to be aware of both hindu and muslim traditions, grow up broad minded, and he as much hindu with my family as they are muslim with his. He couldn’t understand the concept of pluralism. | 🙁 |
| Hindu-Jain | I (Hindu) married to a Jain boy. I don’t know how to worship in Jain dharma, so I do my Brahmin chanting. My husband is forcing me to do his religion worship. The force is become intolerant. I was pregnant at that time he did not allow me to listen Hindu chanting!! If he or his mother saw me while I was listening they fight with me…. | 🙁 |
| Akansha | Are Indian women submissive? Akansha is a young, educated and professional woman. After marriage in a court, within 3 months had to unwillingly convert to Islam, was given new name Nusrat, asked to quit her job, asked to gave up Facebook account, was sent to Islamic school for education, was made to wear hijab and visited Hindu parents only once in 9 months of marriage. She followed all that was asked for. Is Akansha a submissive woman or just an innocent victim trying to save her marriage? We hope she is waiting for an appropriate opportunity to catch up against all injustice on her. | 🙁 ? |
| Hinu | I never dare to take murti (idol) of Lord to his (Christian) home. He like me to wear western clothes to do show off that he is very global and free but his mind is sick. I don’t want kids because by default our kids will be Christian. | 🙁 |
| Nirmala | I can truly say that once the period of “marriage bliss” wore off, life has been sooo difficult…10 fold after the children come, I’ve realized I cannot be a true mother to them. I had to give them Islamic names, go through Islamic traditions at their birth. Now that they are older I have to observe them praying and learning the Koran, I can’t give them the experiences that I had in my childhood-certain dishes, clothing, Holi, Diwali. Birthday parties and photographs are forbidden in my home. | 🙁 |
| Manvi | I am a hindu girl and he’s a Christian Marthomite. His parents wanted me to get converted. i want to know whether after conversion will I be able to follow my Hindu religion? | 🙁 |
Should women groups around the world protest against Aamir Khan and ask him to apologize for such an irrational comment?
InterfaithShaadi hopes Indian and world’s women will speak out against male chauvinism. Pass this post URL (https://www.interfaithshaadi.org/?p=9152) to all your friends and post it on your Facebook.
Together, lets bring a change.

I was born and raised as Muslim. My whole family is still Muslim. I know every genetic code of Muslim. I know Islamic brain. I live and breath with them. I am an insider. I left Islam when I understood that Islam is a sick and evil religion. The following are the Islamic message to the West.
To the infidels of the West:
The Constitution for the new Islamic Republics of EuroArabia and AmerIslamia is under construction.
We will fight the infidel to death.
– Meanwhile American laws will protect us.
– Democrats and Leftist will support us.
– N.G.O.s will legitimize us.
– C.A.I.R. will incubate us.
– The A.C.L.U. will empower us.
– Western Universities will educate us.
– Mosques will shelter us
– O.P.E.C. will finance us
– Hollywood will love us.
– Kofi Annan and most of the United Nations will cover our asses.
Our children will immigrate from Pakistan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Indonesia and even from India to the US and to the other Western countries. They will go to the West for education in full scholarship. America is paying and will continue to pay for our children’s educations and their upbringing in state funded Islamic schools.
We will use your welfare system. Our children will also send money home while they are preparing for Jihad.
We will take the advantage of American kindness, gullibility, and compassion. When time comes, we will stab them in the back. We will say one thing on the camera and teach another thing to our children at home. We will give subliminal messages to our children to uphold Islam at any cost. Our children in America will always care more about Islamic Country’s interest than US interest.
We will teach our children Islamic supremacy from the very childhood. We will teach them not to compromise with Infidel. Once we do that from the very early age our children won’t hesitate to be martyr. We will take over the Europe first and then US will be the next. We already have a solid ground in the UK, Holland, Sweden, Spain, Italy, Germany, and now in the US.
Our children will marry Caucasian in Europe and in America. We will mixed with intricate fabric of the Western society but still will remember to Jihad when time comes. Who are we?
We are the sleeper cells.
We will raise our children to be loyal to Islam and Mohammad only. Everything else is secondary.
At the time of the real fight we will hold our own children as our armor. When American or Israeli troops shoot at us the world will be watching. Imagine, Imagine the news in the world Death of Muslim babies by infidels.
We know CNN, ABC, CBS are broadcasting live. Al-Jazeera will pour gasoline on the fire. The news will spread like wildfire. Americans killed 6 babies, 10 babies. Jews killed two women,
Keep your Nukes in your curio cabinets. Keep your aircraft carrier or high-tech weaponry in the showcase. You can’t use them against us because of your own higher moral standard. We will take the advantage of your higher moral standard and use it against you. We won’t hesitate to use our children as suicide bomber against you.
Visualize the news flash all over the world, Moslem mother is sobbing, crying. Her babies are killed by Jews and Americans, the whole world is watching live. Hundreds of millions of Muslims all around the world are boiling. They will march through Europe. We will use our women to produce more babies who will in turn be used as armor/shield. Our babies are the gift from Allah for Jihad.
West manufactures their tanks in the factory. We will manufacture our military force by natural means, by producing more babies. That is the way it is cheaper.
You infidels at this site cannot defeat us. We are 1.2 billion. We will double again. Do you have enough bullets to kill us?
On the camera:
– We will always say, Islam is the religion of Peace.
– We will say,Jihad is actually inner Jihad.
– Moderate Muslim will say there is no link between Islam and Terrorism and the
West will believe it because the West is so gullible.
– Moderate Muslim all over the world will incubate Jihadist by their talk by defending Islam.
– Using Western Legal system we will assert our Sharia Laws, slowly but surely.
– We will increase in number. We will double again.
You will be impressed when you meet a moderate Muslim personally. As your next-door neighbor, coworker, student, teacher, engineer, professionals you may even like us. You will find us well mannered, polite, humble that will make you say,wow, Muslims are good and peaceful people, But, we will stab you in your back when you are sleeping as we did on 911.
There will be more 911 in Europe and in America. We will say,We do not support terrorism but America got what it deserved.
Muslims, CAIR, ISNA, MPAC and other international Islamic Organization will unite. We will partner with Leftist, ACLU, with Koffi Annan, and the UN, and if we have to then even with France. Fasten your seatbelt. The war of civilizations has just begun.
We will recite Quran and say Allah-Hu-Akbar before beheading infidels, as we have been doing it. We will video tape those and send it to all infidels to watch. They will surrender – ISLAM means surrender.
We will use your own values of kindness against you.
You are destined to loose.

Dear readers,
According to Rachel Molshky, the Muslim apologists do their best to silence apostates and their criticism of Islam by throwing out the dreaded “Islamophobia” label. Apostates are people who were once Muslims themselves but have since left the religion for a variety of reasons. Many are left shell-shocked, victims or witnesses to Muslim abuses and violence, and others have simply done the unthinkable- they opened the Qur’an and read it.
One such person is Muslim apostate Ayaan Hirsi Ali, who has gotten considerable press lately with the Brandeis University controversy. The school first offered and later rescinded the offer for an honorary degree based on her impressive work for women’s rights after Ali was labeled an “Islamophobe.”
This was quite an interesting criticism considering the fact that she was raised Muslim herself, and as such, she became a victim of atrocities like female genital mutilation (FGM) and forced marriage. Ali was once a pious Muslim, but after the Somali native was granted political asylum to the Netherlands and received an education, she began to reflect on Islam and its teachings. After the 9/11 attacks, she picked up the Qur’an and hadith, and it wasn’t long before she renounced her faith.
Another apostate is the well-known Ali Sina, who started faithfreedom.org in 2001, after reading the Qur’an and coming to the conclusion that Islam is a Satanic religion, and Muhammad was a psychopath as well as, Sina writes, “a liar, a pedophile, an assassin, a rapist, a thief, a lecher, a narcissist, a terrorist, a mass murderer and a madman. Muslims emulate their prophet and this explains the madness in the Islamic world. They are vile and violent because they worship a criminal.”
He goes even further and declares that Muhammad and Islam do not deserve any more respect than people like Charles Manson and that rather than comparing Muhammad to Jesus, Buddha or Zoroaster, he should be compared to insane criminals like Hitler and Stalin.
Sina does not hate Muslims but hates Islam and has been on a mission to save those following the teachings of a madman. His efforts have saved thousands of Muslims by exposing the truth about Islam and bringing these people back to humanity.
On Faith Freedom, Ali Sina explains what drove him away from Islam:
“… Just like other Muslims, I used to believe that to learn about anything one has to go to the source. Now you may think that the source of Islam is the Qur’an and the hadith. That might be so in theory. But in practice few Muslims read these books to understand them. Muslims get their information about Islam by reading the books written by scholars of Islam. These are apologetic books that deceitfully try to portray Islam in the best light… Now I realize this was a mistake… It was when I reread the Qur’an that I came across injunctions that were not on a par with my newfound humanistic values…”
Sina goes on to provide the violent Quranic verses and stories of Muhammad’s brutality that were both shocking and disturbing. He explains how the hatred and inhumanity of Islam cannot possibly be the word of G-d. His conscience could not accept what he read in the Qur’an.
There are many ex-Muslims like Sina. Abul Kasem, for example, is the author of five e-Books: A Complete Guide to Allah, Root of Terrorism ala Islamic Style, Sex and Sexuality in Islam, Who Authored the Quran? and Women in Islam. Kasem left his “religion” after experiencing its violent and barbaric nature. He explains that as a child, he witnessed the slaughter of a Hindu friend, along with his entire family, in Bangladesh, where Kasem was born.
Most distressing about the crime was the celebratory reaction of the Muslims there, who were out for more Hindu blood, partially motivated by the promised rewards in Paradise. Kasem himself was also nearly killed by Pakistani soldiers and other “fanatic followers of Islam” as he puts it. He did not need to read the Qur’an to know this violence was not right.
We can never underestimate the wonders behind a smile. The Prophet ṣallallāhu ‘alaihi wa sallam (peace and blessings of Allāah be upon him) said that every smile is charity.
Smile is an amazing thing that brings us close to people, removes our tensions and soothes our hearts. Smile is not simply an expression; it is a therapy, a cure, and a remedy to a lot of things. A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
A smile awakens the springs of goodness in the human heart and strengthens the society with the bond of love, affection and brotherhood.
Give a friendly smile and spread the salaam to the person next to you and earn the reward of a Sunnah 🙂

Former Christian Abdullah DeLancey becomes a Muslim
This is the story of how I found Islam.
My name is Abdullah DeLancey. I am Canadian and I am employed as a Patient Service Worker at the local Hospital. I have been married for almost 20 years and we have 3 wonderful children.
Alhamdulillah. I am a now a Muslim. I wasn’t always a Muslim though.
Previously; I was a Protestant Christian for all of my life. My family brought me up in the Pentecostal Church until I was an adult at which time I moved to a fundamental Independent Baptist Church. As a faithful Christian I was very involved at Church, giving lectures for the Adult Sunday School and other duties. I was eventually elected as the Deacon of the Church. I really wanted to further my dedication to God and decided to pursue a career as a Minister. I was awarded a scholarship to help me start taking a Degree in Divinity. My goal was to be a Pastor of a Church or a Missionary.
However, becoming a Minister would commit me and my whole family to the Church full time for life. So just before attending Bible College, I thought it best to look at Christianity critically and ask some very serious questions about my faith. I questioned the trinity, why God would need a son, and why the human sacrifice of Jesus, as stated in the bible, was needed to provide me with forgiveness. I questioned the Christian belief of how all the righteous people in the Old Testament were “saved” and in heaven if Jesus wasn’t even born yet. I pondered serious questions about Christianity that I had neglected to ask my whole life. The answers I received from Christians on these theological issues “which are the basis of the faith in Christianity” defied all reason and were absolutely beyond any logical thinking. Why would God give us a wonderful brain and then expect us to temporarily stop using it? Because that is what Christianity is asking people to do when they say you just must have faith. That is blind faith.
Realizing that I had always accepted Christianity, with Blind faith for my entire life and never had questioned it was perplexing to me. How could I have not realized this before? I could not find the answers in the Bible. Once I realized that the trinity was a myth and that God is powerful enough to “save” someone without the need for help from a son or anyone or anything else. Things changed. My entire faith in Christianity fell apart. I could no longer believe in Christianity or be a Christian. I left the Church for good and my wife left with me, as she was having trouble accepting Christianity too.
This was the start of my spiritual journey.
I was now without a Religion but believed in a God. This was a very hard time for me and my family as Christianity was all we had ever known. I had to search for the truth.
I began studying various religions and found them as false one after another. Until, I heard about Islam. Islam!!! What was that? As far as I could remember, I had never known a Muslim and Islam was not heard or spoken of “as a faith” in my part of Canada. Unless, of course, it was news stories talking bad about Islam. For me at that time, Islam was not even a consideration. Not on my religious radar at all.
But then I started to read a little about Islam. Then, I kept reading a little more. Then, I read the Quran. This wonderful revelation of truth has changed my life forever. I immediately started to study ever piece of information pertaining to Islam I could get my hands on. I discovered the nearest Mosque was about 100 miles away from my city. So I promptly loaded the family van and drove my family to this Mosque. . On the way, I was very nervous but also very excited at the same time..
I asked myself. Was I even allowed in the Mosque because I wasn’t an Arab or a Muslim ? However after arriving at the Mosque I quickly realized I had nothing to fear. I was greeted by the Imam and the Muslims with a most warm greeting. I found them very nice. Nothing like the bad things the news always said about Muslims. They gave me a book by Ahmed Deedat and assured me I could be a Muslim. I studied all the material on Islam they gave me. I appreciated these books very much because our local library had only 4 books on Islam. After studying I was in shock. How could I have been a Christian for so long and never heard the truth. I now believed in Islam. I knew it and I wanted to convert. I was put in contact with the small Muslim community in my city.
On March 24th 2006 I went to the Mosque. Just before Friday prayer started and with most of the local Muslim Community present as witness. I testified that” La illaha ill Allah, Muhammadur Rasul Allah” “There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. I was now a Muslim. It was the best day of my life. I love Islam and have peace now.
Continued….
…..Difficult times have come since I became a Muslim. When people started realizing I was now a Muslim they would shun me or laugh at me, most of our old Christian friends have never talked to us again. My parents have all but disowned me. I love being a Muslim and it doesn’t matter if some of my fellow Canadians think of me as odd for becoming a Muslim. Why? The reason is that I alone, am the one that will have to answer to Allah after my death. Allah is the giver of strength and all mighty Allah has helped me through all the rough times after my conversion to Islam. I have many, many Muslim Brothers now. I have legally changed my first name to Abdullah, which I like very much. I am now the first and only Muslim Chaplain approved to work at the local hospital in my City.
I am a Muslim and I am truly happy. All Thanks be to Allah.
That is how I became a Muslim. Islam is right for you too. Maybe you are not just randomly reading this article by chance. Maybe you already believe Allah is the one and only true God. Do you want to have life and become a Muslim right now. It is a big step.
But the best step you will ever take. Once you have decided that Islam is the truth. The only thing you must do to become a Muslim is truly believe and freely testify that “There is no God but Allah, Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. Testify to this truth with me now. Become Muslim and have life.

Deanna Zare #Couple living in Maryland, America. #FromDawahToMarriage
“My husband and I met at 18 at college as freshman. He used to be one of those argumentative atheists who would debate anybody on philosophy or religion. Knowing I was Muslim from my hijab, he randomly came up to me one day and pretty arrogantly challenged me with a question about Islam. I told him that if his intention was really to figure out the truth, I’d be willing to teach him about Islam, and one way or another, he realized that I was always correct with my answers to him through the Holy Quran.
A year and a half later he publicly said his shahada and we did our nikkah that same day. Sometimes I still like to go up to him and say ‘I told ya so.'”

Great Article bro. .Thanks to share
but what to do somebody doesnot want accept the truth and reality. .They are always wants to challenge Islam like admin
he is saying interfaith couples Either wants to accept 100% Hindu or 50%-50% relationship not 100% Muslim thats what his aim on this site. .
His main try is to change muslims into 100% hindu. if it is not possible then his try becomes 50%-50%.
The mission of this site is very clear: Interfaith Marriage with EQUALITY.
Old days are over, now today’s youths should truly respect their spouse. More specifically, there should be gender and religious equality. Let us know what is your concern for such equality? Tell us why SSS should convert because her lover is asking for it?
Other women/girls reading this, do you agree (or not) that there should be gender and religious equality?
I know what is the mission of this site what i hav said previously is correct. .
you are doing like that only
when we ask some thing logically you are twisting out
Religions are not equal
Fitting of two different faiths are not equal
The best example is tiers
car tier wont fit on tractor or vice versa
like wise one religion cant fit on other religion
mac, who is fooling whom? This is America. Let us know if after 3 years, if this guy is still with that girl.
In old days, people were using swords to expand religion, now today’s youths uses LOVE. This is sad!
