I am a 24 year old art student and Ex-Muslim in Manchester, UK. I love drum & bass music, irreverent art, movies, dancing, nights out, lazy Sundays. I probably smoke and drink too much, and I love a good bacon sandwich. My mother was of the first generation born here in UK into a large Sunni family from Pakistan. My father is half Indian, half white British, from a Hindu family. An interesting set up, you might say. Volatile and ill-fated from the start, most certainly.
Do you mind me asking, why were you raised a Muslim, and not a Hindu or Christian which were also part of your parental heritage?
You don't have to answer if this is too personal.
Just curious. From my own personal experience and observation, in mixed religion marriages between a Muslim and non Muslim, Islam tends to predominate.
