I know that in other denominations they will meet and counsel rather than give permission. I am not a Catholic. But, why the permission from the bishop?

Its not forbidden, just recommended that you don't. Paul says that we should not be unequally yoked and the problem that comes with it is the possibility of straying from the faith.
It happened to King Solomon and King Saul, so its more of a warning then a forbidding

A Christian marrying a Jew or Muslim should be sure that their new spouse is comfortable raising their children as Christians.
In the Catholic Church, permission from the bishop is required for a marriage to a non-Christian.

It's OK for a Christian to marry a Jew, Muslim, or even an atheist if they want. Someone's religious beliefs (or the lack thereof) should have no standing if you are truly, deeply in love with someone. Of course, you would want to make sure that you both can learn to compromise throughout the marriage, especially on the wedding ceremony itself and how you will raise your children. But for the most part, real love should be able to overcome anything.

According to stricter interpretations of Jewish laws and traditions, Jews cannot marry non-Jews because gentiles are not obligated to follow the laws of Moses (which is part of the marriage vows). I don't know enough about the laws of Islam to comment on that.
Christian traditions vary. Christians can usually marry non-Christians. Often times Catholics have to be married in a Catholic church and have to promise to raise their kids Catholic in order to have the Catholic church wedding.
Personally, I think if two people who have found each other love each other very much, and have reconciled religious differences in their relationship, I feel it's fine.

Yes of coarse! I believe that If two people love each other enough to get married, then why let that fact that each is of a different religion get in the way of your happiness. and don't worry about what every other person thinks because they won't be living in the same house or living your life.

there will be stark contrasts among the families especially, in your case, should you decide to marry a muslim. jews are close enough to your religion so they're okay. but when you lpan on having kids, what denomination will they be? one or the other or best of both worlds?

No, it is not right. The Bible says to not be unequally yoked together. Marriage is hard enough when you believe alike. It is harder when you do not even agree on who to worship.

If they love each other religion wouldn't be an issue.
