Simon Cowell to convert to Islam to marry girlfriend?

Mezhgan Hussainy's family wants music mogul Simon Cowell to convert to Islam before he marries her, says a report.

The 'American Idol' judge had proposed to Hussainy last week.

'They're very westernised, but no one in their family has ever married a non-Muslim - and they're not willing for their youngest daughter to become the first,' digitalspy.co.uk quoted a source as saying about Hussainy's parents Mary and Sayed.

Hussainy's sister-in-law Erlene Garcia was also asked to convert before marrying her brother Wahid.

According to Hussainy's friend, 'Mezhgan is very reluctant about asking Simon to convert...and she knows how controversial it will be.'

'Simon might be a big deal in the UK, but there are other people in the Afghan community in Los Angeles who her parents will be more afraid of offending. It would bring shame on their family and community if Simon did not respect their beliefs,' the friend added.

Actually, there are many "denominations" in the Christian faith that are much against marriage outside of their own denomination, and yes, they too disown their family member if they go outside of the tradition. In extreme cases (no matter what religion) there are those who cross the line of civil laws and commit to taking into their own hands action against those who transgressed against thier faith. That tends for a horrific outcome. IN far too many cases, radical behavior doesn't pay to the best advantage for anyone, no matter what religion or faith they adhere to believing. Just hope that a negative "radical" reaction isn't initiated by her family.

Hmmmm, and America might hate Cowell, if he converts, especially a white turning Muslim.
