zm-dawg wow, I can tell you have true love for this girl.You are very comitted to staying with her for anything and I give you lots of respect for that.I was born in a country that the 2nd largest religion was Islam.I can say that here in America, families that are Muslim aren't as strict to laws/religions, thats because their coming into a country that holds mainly different beliefs and its hard to incorporate those here.I'm not going to say her family is not strict, but she was raised different...in a different country, different beliefs, and so forth, but I believe that the two of you could be together in the very future.You are a very strong person for staying with her and with everything that has changed through out the world.I can tell you this its not easy.But I know that you are a respectable preson and her family should admire that.But one thing, don't rush your relationship.And keeping this a secret WON'T be the best choice.Her family wants the best for her in the future even though the both of you may not think so, her parents were raised differently and they are raising her in a place for her to prosper and they are doing their best.So don't lie to make things work, this is dishonesty and thats the last thing they want from someone especailly if you care for their daughter.Go by her families restaurant, but don't go as a date with her.Take some of your buddies and go have something to eat.And hopefully she will introduce you to her father.The father is the key thing here.I can understand how you would be scared to meet the parents or her dad, but you have to know its coming if you want this to work.Be yourself, be truthful, respectful, and don't be too scared

I wish you all the best for the both of you.
I can say that religion/nationality/race truly do come hard in some relationships, but somehow you can over pass this and I'm glad you see through it, I wish we all could!!!!!
