Did my boyfriend change because of his new found Islam faith or is it just him?
This isn’t Islam, it’s the americanized version that came out of prison culture. It doesn’t have much at all to do with the tenets of Islam, as far as I know. It’s just a rationalization people use to be totally obnoxious. I’d say it wasn’t the conversion that doomed the relationship, though. He was a jerk in the first place but kept it in check until the new religion gave him permission for stuff like total domination over his woman.
