OK, dis is the deal.
Islam permits a Muslim man to marry a christian girl.
So u don't have to convert to marry him, but if u want to, it's all good. I am a Muslim and i know several Muslim men married to christian women and are happily together. I also know several christian women that have converted and are happily married to Muslims. U need to learn more about Islam and it's position on women and marriage. I am sure u will be impressed. No religion honors, protects and respects the rights of women as much as the religion of Islam.
Correction: The movie cheri M is talking about, is about an American woman married to an Iranian ( not Saudi Arabian). The couple went to visit Iran and the husbands' family wouldn't let them come back to the states.This was just after the revolution and the entire country was in upheaval. Just watch the movie and see for yourself. What i want to point out here is that u should take care not to confuse or mix Islam with any particular culture, especially Arabian or middle eastern. Islam is universal.

Marry him . But you don't have to convert to Islam .. If you do this you will be doing It for him and for your love not for God .. So marry him, nothing wrong with this .. Then when you know Islam more you can decide to convert or not .. Anyway if you wont convert just be careful that your kids will be Muslim .. Don't try to affect them because this may lead to problems .. just learn them to be a real believer and a good people ..

First off. If you are a Christian, God has already said not to do this.
Second, they will prefer that you convert, and how are you going to go to a christian church and him to the mosque. He will want the children muslim. There is conflict everywhere in this marriage. Depending on your husband, he may want you to cover and wear robes. Or just around other muslims. It would be very very rare that you could be happy in the long run..
Christ says that he is the only way to get to heaven, so when you leave Christ behind then you leave God behind for a false religion. This isn't worth it to me, but you must decide.

If you both love each other:
- why convert your religion?
- why is it you that converts? why not him?
- what will your children grow up to be and will they have a choice in it?
- what do you know about Islam?
- Are you prepared to give up all your religious beliefs that you have had all your existence and now turn around and knock all that and discount it? How does that make you feel?
Please re-think carefully, your religion is part of you, if your man loves you so much he will accept you as a christian and not expect you to convert.
Love is not about sacrifices.
If you still wana go ahead and convert, aint nobdy in this world gonna stop you. hope you happiness in life.

The question is not if the man and woman can make it being of different religious persuasions. The problem is when you would have children. Best to decide before hand which faith the child will be taught. Religion can be confusing enough without different theories.

If you're considering converting to Islam for a person, are you sure you're truly a Christian? Islam is quite different than Christianity. Especially right now with terrorists killing people in the name of Allah. You might want to prayerfully consider this before making any long term decisions.

I feel that you should research and learn more about living a Muslim life, don't take your future husbands word for it either. Learn about life depending on where your man is from. You need to be able to see if you can live that lifestyle. Mulsim people are quite different that Christians.

M'am. God explicitly states in the Bible that this relationship is not good. "Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness? And what communion has light with darkness" -2 Corinthians 6:14.
The Scripture is fairly self-explanatory. Pray to God about it. The best that can happen is that the Muslim man, when presented with the Gospel, accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. A marriage with him as is, would not be good for your relationship with the Lord as it is strictly stated to be sinful. I hope this helped you out. I'll pray for you.

If you believe that will bring you happiness for your whole life (and it will :) ) then nothing will stop you and God with his infinite wisdom will guide you in His path and will bless you with a perfect family.
Please note that Islam is a universal religion, not a sect or cult...its message is for the entire universe...but your heart has the key to the door of the first step.
