My parents are from Karachi too. I was born here, and they are pretty religous as well, (I'm not really that religious). But they know I have a girlfriend...that is Catholic....and they love her. Hell...sometimes I think they give her better gifts for her birthday and what not than they give me.
I think your parents two main concerns are probably pre-marital sex, and if you do end up getting married, what will your kids be (religiously speaking). I know that is what my parents concerns are.
You gotta try and try and try to talk to them about it. That may be the only way they will understand. If they don't...then like everyone else says....its all up to you.
PM me if you want, and we can talk about it more since I have an idea of what you are going through.
