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.

Eventually mass conversions will begin both here and in Europe. All it will take is one Oprah like figure and 90% of the West will convert.

Jesus said’ I am the way the truth and the life noone comes to the father except through me’ That about sums up all religions as being false. You can only got to jesus’s heaven through him.

If she were blond, she’d look EXACTLY like my college roommate...whose last name was as Irish as they get. The similarity is uncanny.

I’m surprised that her family would allow her to marry a man who’s half-Jewish. I would think that would be the bigger insult to them.

Some writers make you read very carefully so as not to misconstrue what they're saying. For instance, it never occurs to this writer that this sentence might be misunderstood.

The great question of the day: “Will Simon Cowell cowtow?”

Depends on if the prayer call cowbell hits a sour note or not.
