They have now been sentenced to a two month suspended jail sentence and ordered to pay £250 (€300) each and ordered to pay £680 (€800) in legal costs.The cousins’ lawyer, Daouda Diop, told the French press the court’s ruling was “fair”, before adding the case was a “humdrum family drama” that had been “massively blown out of proportion”.How about you just ask me what I want to be when I grow up instead?” “I think the weirdest thing that’s ever happened to me is getting a Facebook message from this guy I met at a Muslim Students Association’s event. Here I am at my first week of university after spending 12 years at an all-girls school, thinking I am finally going to have my moment, and instead I get this fool.I did have a particularly traumatic date once when I went out with a ‘liberal Muslim’.I made it very clear that I am an atheist and he said he was fine with that.So what’s a first date like when you're Muslim?I mean I wouldn’t know I’ve never been on one — hi, mom — but these five young people below have, and they've lived to tell the tales."My first boyfriend was an all-American guy — think red meat, hunting, and football.

You have two choices: tell your parents that you are a non-Muslim and don’t have to marry a Muslim (or marry at all) or lie to your future Muslim partner and enter into a relationship built on deceit where your non-religious views will have to be kept private.Neither is tempting as the former could result in being disowned, and the latter in a serious drinking problem.I have dated Muslims and nothing extraordinary has happened as a result. Millions of Muslims are trying to come to the West seeking to impose this extreme and radical ideology that they believe to be superior to Western law. The female attackers said they had tried to “talk some sense” into their cousin – who cut off all ties with her family when she went to live with her non-Muslim boyfriend.

We saw each other more and more as things progressed, at first just meeting up for school work but then gradually for other things, like coffee, "hanging out" and we even saw a couple movies together. His flirting wasn't subtle anymore and he did it a lot.I wanted really badly to believe that we were already dating "unofficially", but he had a handful of other female friends that he was close with so again, I didn't know if he was into me or was just this way with everyone. He wasn't a jerk or a "playa", I'm sure he was only doing it because I would smile and laugh and just in general respond positively.Dating is hard in the best of circumstances but if you are an ex-Muslim, it’s downright depressing.A lot of us try and stay in the closet because of the taboo for as long as possible.He said: “My clients are two young Muslim women who are fully integrated into French society. They were trying to protect her from herself and their disagreement had nothing to do with Islam.” Simon Miravete, the victim’s lawyer, said that the court’s decision was an “encouraging step forward” and his client would finally be able to “put all the drama behind her”.He said: “I hope that her family will let her live her life in peace and stop harassing and pressuring her.He laughed when I told him I would have told him earlier but thought I was just another female friend.Turns out he's liked me back since about mid-first year.
