I think Anto's comments are quite level headed. That you take such offence is quite illuminationg I think. I expect better of you demonaura.

Put yourself in the opposite position. You are late middle aged with an 18 year old daughter who you've brought up to have sensible values such as your own. You enjoy the trappings of a community developed around your own belief system. Your daughter, unbeknown to you, has militant religious friends, one of which she is romantically involved with. On a visit to your house one day they attack you for your beliefs and nothing more. Of course you don't defend your belief stance and are happy to let your daughter go without a fight.

I think not.

No matter how correct the parents stance on letting their child be free to choose, no one could seriously blame them for reacting as they do. They're motivated by love.
