12. mahmoud-here is some advice
james   (08.17.14)
you may be a wonderful young man with a nice family. YOu have the right to marry. But look at past experience. conv erted jewish wives were treated like slaves cause that is the way interpreted islamic religion is practised. Some of them were brutalized. YOur fiance is thinking with her sex organs. If you wish to marry her, you study judaism and then convert as judaism is a religion of tolerance and moderation, not perfect by any means but moderate. Islam is not. This woman, think it over. If he loves you, let him convert to judaism. If not, drop him like a hot pototoe.
13. Ironic indeed ...
Jon S. ,   Virginia, USA   (08.17.14)
On the same page as this article, we find Natasha Miliavskey's story, "Rejection and Humiliation on My Way to My Judaism." The convert to Islam is free to do as she pleases - we are Jews, not Muslims. One day, most likely, she'll regret her indecision but that's her burden now, not ours. I'm more concerned about how we Jews are sometimes our own worst enemies. Fences lock people in. They equally lock people out. The Orthodox monopoly MUST be broken. And they will fight it tooth and nail so, sadly, it will have to be the hard way. The Talmud teaches us a wise man is he who learns from ALL persons. Here's one thing we can learn from the Muslims: don't build your fence so high that you reject and humiliate the very souls your religion was founded to nurture.
14. Post Zionist Israel comes home to roost
PostJudaism'sResults ,   Jerusalem Israel   (08.17.14)
60 years of post Zionism and post Judaism have come home to roost the grieving father in his 50's was shown wearing an earing indicating he until now was part of the extreme western culture which has dominated Israel and its youth this curse will now produce a Halachaly Jewish child who most likely will grow up to hate Jews and maybe worse. Not a few Palestinian terrorists came from such a marriage
15. Bride I wish you hell
E ,   Hadera Israel   (08.17.14)
You are a traitor, go to hell.
16. I fully support comments #2 and #3
Michael ,   Haifa   (08.17.14)
17. If there is a G-d...
Noami ,   Tel Aviv   (08.17.14)
... I am sure this makes Him much happier than the Muslim beheading of Christians or the Charedi attacks on women who sit at the front of the bus.
18. did the jewish woman had to covert to Islam
ghostq   (08.17.14)
in order to marry the guy, I don't understand y he couldn't marry her while she is still jewish.
19. Converted to Islam, eh?
Sarah B ,   U.S.A. / Israel   (08.17.14)
Fine with me. I think the State of Israel should give them a wedding present. Two one-way tickets to the Islamic state of their choosing. Let's see. There's Iran. There's Sudan. There's probably more. Have a great life, kids!
20. Israel is a free country....
Andy ,   Washington, DC   (08.17.14)
She can marry whomever she wants. She can be muslim if she wants. If she is happy - great. If not, I hope she makes it out of there alive and can can come back home to the Jewish people. I certainly would not waste my time protesting what is not my right to prevent.
21. Re #18: did she have to convert?
Riyadh Al-Karmi ,   London, UK   (08.18.14)
No. Muslim men can marry christian and jewish women and they can keep their faith, but children from that marriage are brought up as muslims.
