I am 23 and in a relationship with a boy for the past six months. We love each other very much and given time we want to see our relationship through to marriage. The catch is that he is Catholic and I am Hindu and while his parents are fine with us being together my father is against an inter faith/ caste marriage and wants me to have an arranged marriage… My father is a single parent and says I will hurt him if I continue this relationship. I do not want to hurt my father but I also love my partner. Is it wrong that I want to continue seeing him and hope to convince my father eventually?

Religious freedom vs. wisdom
President Obama, after saying that building a mosque at Ground Zero fit our “commitment to religious freedom,” (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/08/13/AR2010081304357.html) backtracked, saying he wasn’t commenting on the ‘wisdom’ (http://newsweek.washingtonpost.com/cgi-bin/mte-admin/mt.cgi) of building it so close to ‘hallowed ground.’
A Fox News poll showed that while 61 percent of Americans believe that Cordoba House has a constitutional right to build near Ground Zero, 64 percent believe it is not appropriate to do so. (http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/08/13/fox-news-poll-percent-think-wrong-build-mosque-near-ground-zero/)
Does Obama’s hedging show a lack of ethical convictions? Does Hamas’ endorsement change the debate? (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/plum-line/2010/08/breaking_hamas_sides_with_obam.html) What is behind public opposition to the site? Can you believe in religious freedom but not believe the mosque is appropriate?
