I (22f) have a sister (20f) who I was pretty close when we were growing up. Although we were raised in a very catholic country our whole family is atheist. We are not fond of religion however we keep that to ourselves and respect others.
During the pandemic my sister discovered muslim side of TikTok. She became obsessed with Islam and spent hours learning about it (which was fine by us). Then she told us she is converting. My family didn’t take this lightly as this goes against what we believe however she is an adult and we respected her decision. Now this is where issues started.
She started to demand changes in the house to fit her religion. She told us she wants all of the pictures of people or animals down because it goes against her beliefs. She berates my parents when they cook pork because thats a huge problem for her (although no one forces her to eat it). She made my mom feel bad for using gelatin when making a cake although my mom made her a separate one in regards to her beliefs. She started giving me lessons on modesty and behavior, telling me I have to act more like a woman. She asked my parents for an arranged marriage which caused a huge fight because we don’t believe or do arranged marriages in our culture. She said that she cannot take care of our old dog anymore because he is dirty and impure (this broke me). My boyfriend recently moved in with us and initially she was ok with it however now she is uncomfortable because she cannot take her hijab off when he is in the house and that we should move out.
I lost it there. I told her that we have been more than respectful to her but she is taking advantage of this situation and asking for unreasonable accommodations. She then started to talk to me in arabic (not our language). I told her to stop her madness and that “I don’t care about your god, prophet or rules because they are making you act like a bitch.”
She cried and called me an asshole saying that being a “minority” is hard and she doesn’t want us to burn in hell because we don’t know the truth. Later my mom also scolded me, although she agrees with me, she said I acted harshly.
AITA?
