THAT'S A TERRIBLE RULE.
THEY SHOULD BE ABLE TO CHOOSE THEIR OWN PREFERENCE

Islam cannot force their religion on anyone, they can only suppress the practice of other religions. Just because you get someone to go through the motions, such as praying at certain times of the day, does not mean they submit to that religion. Islam functions more for societal control than spirituality.

That's the primary reason atheists and other rational people are doing their best to keep the US government from falling into the hands of bible thumpers of all persuasions (Jew, Christian or Muslim).
They do not want "freedom of religion," they want freedom for their religion to be forced on people by government agencies & courts.

in Islam no one is forced to become Muslim ,it has to be by the person own will and one has to be convinced with Islam ,according to marriage ,Muslim women are not allowed to marry christian men for many reasons,but Muslim men can marry christian women without forcing them to become Muslim.

I have no religion. But I am learning about Islam, because my boyfriend is a muslim. We plan to get married, and I will be converting.
I don't see anything wrong with it, because I am in love with him. Also it is a truely beautiful religion.

Everyone should have religion, but life is not about religion, it's about living and experiencing. It's unfortunate that people cannot travel around and see this whole earth because of differences in religion. God must realy hate that.

I agree that this is not right.
Look at what requirements there are to be a Muslim. You need to say 2 things. (There is 1 God, Mohammed is his prophet)
It takes more than that to become a Christian. (Accept Christ as saviour, live in a way that is pleasing to God)

I had a good muslim friend once who came from Ramalla. We were discussing theology and I said that I knew some muslims from Malaysia.
He told me not to listen to muslims from Malaysia.

I don't think that religions are truly ours to choose as much as we are meant to seek out and choose truth. (Truth is something that I believe cannot be defined by us, but rather recognized by our hungry souls.)
No one should be forced to settle on something they have not found to be true.
But from the christian perspective check out what Christ (the Lamb of God, slain to pay the penalty for the sins of all people) has planned for those who choose Him over the world
Revelation 19:6-9
Then I heard again what sounded like the shout of a huge crowd, or the roar of mighty ocean waves, or the crash of loud thunder:
"Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty reigns. Let us be glad and rejoice and honor Him. For the time has come for the wedding feast of the Lamb, and His bride has prepared herself. She is permitted to wear the finest white linen." (Fine linen represents the good deeds done by the people of God.)
And the angel said, "Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lame." And he added, "These are true words that come from God."
Christianity literally means to follow Christ, and this passage out of the bible shows us what Christ has planned for those who choose Him. I don't think anyone who understands this great plan of God would ever choose a love that can only last 80 or so years over the love of God that is promised to be eternal.

we hv the same problem in indonesia. Cross religion marriage is not allowed here, i don't agree in forcing beliefs. But couples who don't agree to convert can get married abroad, like in S'pore for example, that's an alternative solution on this matter

It's the law of the country. Just like in USA, 2 men can not get married and Canada they can. You think that's fair?
