To Khalid J , who is so much in love with his Malaysian Christian wife-to-be and who plans to go and live in another country, let us bid him 'bon voyage', and we wish you both all the best.

As a Muslim, Khalid should know, compared to our submission to Allah and our obligations to carry out his orders, other loves and pursuit of excessive wealth is secondary.

In matters of personal life, Khalid should know that every aspect of our life is a jihad, including marriage, in which we are required to produce the next generation of Muslims who will continue with the jihad to show fellow human beings the way to Allah.

Thus, how can Khalid say that in so far as his children are concerned they will be allowed to choose their own religion when they grow up. In Islam, both parents are supposed to teach and nurture your children in the Islamic way. Call it indoctrination but try tell this to the Jews or even the Hindus and the Sikhs and others.

Khalid should know that as Muslims we know that whatever we do and whatever we own are all due to Allah, He gives it to you and He too can take it away from you.

By marrying a non-Muslim who is not willing to join your jihad in the name of Allah, Khalid is not only depicting himself to be a very selfish person but also a traitor to Islam because by doing that he is depriving a Muslim woman of a Muslim husband.

In Britain, many Pakistani men took English, Irish or Scottish wives and many a time these Pakistanis are giving Islam a bad name. Many children from these marriages end up neither a Muslim nor a Christian.
