Nogbad, Islamic law says that a Muslim man may marry a Jew or Christian woman, but that a Muslim woman may not marry any but another Muslim man. You know that your wife may be considered by some other Muslims not to be a good Muslim at all. (I believe otherwise, but I'm just asking you how she feels about this law and if she is judged for it.)

I lived in Turkey and several Americans we knew married Turkish, Muslim women while we were there. But Turkey doesn't have a stringently Muslim culture.

Be well. Chemistcat

My wife is a Moslem in the same way I am a Christian.
She doesn't go to the mosque and I don't go to church.
Nonetheless, even if you are not a practicing Moslem, there is such a thing as Moslem culture.

Yes, Turkish society is very open, I know several Western men who live in Turkey and are married to Turkish women.
And they are accepted into the family. The Turks are wonderful people.
And very good loyal friends of the West.
Too bad they are getting tarred by all this irrational anti-Islam feeling swirling about.
