I expected a hateful response when I saw your username in the alerts, jfl. Since you weren't, I will give you the deets. My father's first wife was Pakistani, I believe he married in his mid 20s. Eventually he divorced her on bad terms. Then he came to Europe in his late 20s, married his second wife whom was half Dutch and half French. They divorced on good terms because my paternal grandparents wanted to have grandchildren but my father's second wife was a devout Christian who didn't want to have her children having to choose between Islam (my father's religion) or Christianity (her religion) and so my father married his third wife, a Pakistani, whom is my mother.
