Muslims believe that Moses and Jesus were prophets of GOD and so they give them full honor and respect. Jews and Christians do not consider Prophet Muhammad as the prophet of GOD. Thus they are unable to give the same respect and honor to him and to his followers. A Jewish or Christian woman with a Muslim husband will be in a much better position than a Muslim woman with a Jewish or Christian husband will therefor A Muslim woman is not permitted to marry a non-Muslim man, even a Christian or a Jew, unless he becomes a Muslim .....SO if non muslim likes to marry muslim women all he needs is to study Islam from authentic Islamic writings(books-tapes-internet sites) he will discover that Islam is the true religion of GOD then if he accepts Islam he can marry the muslim women ...

Dear jim,
The Bible instructs us as believers to speak the truth in love- so i am going to tell you what the Bible says but also respect the fact that as an individual you have to make your own decisions and understand that you have a personal accountability to God.
The Bible does instruct believers to not be unequally yoked. When God gives us instructions it is often for our protection. In this case, you two can not share the most precious thing in your lives- your relationship with God. While both religions may practice similar things (IE: Praying) prayer is not to the same God and at some point one person will influence another more.
Also you must also consider your children. Do you take them to Church, or to the Mosque?
In terms of clear instruction, the Bible is pretty clear. Whatever you choose to do i don't think it's fair for anyone but the Lord to judge you- but i think the Lord has made it clear that we are not to be unequally yoked to protect you and also to protect your children from unnecessary challenges to loving God with all your heart, soul, and strength.
i know that love is strong- and sometimes when someone is in love they can ignore everyone- including God. God will not leave or forsake you- but just keep in mind that disobedience always has consequences and often creates difficulties that are unnecessary.
Hope that helps.
Kindly,
Nickster

Does that really matter?? Muslims are very interesting actually, you can both help each other discover new ways of coming closer to God.. your families will probably make a big deal of it all, but as long as you are flexible, it can definetely work.. My husband and I are from different cultures, our religions are similar, but we had a lot to adapt to.. if you are young, adaptation comes easier.. and you will learn to adapt.. it also makes your relationship stronger, because you tend to realize early on, that it's not about everything going your way.. but finding compromise... my husband is protestant, ,and I'm catholic, religion is more important to me, than to him, we started going one sunday to one, and the next sunday to the other church, we decided to do that for a year.. we ended up in the protestant only because, because we're still young and it all came down to getting up on a sunday at 9 vrs. getting up at 9:30.. it's the same God.. so don't make a big fuss of it, and let things take their own course.. you might be surprised..

How is she willing to spend her life...
if she's okay kneeling on the prayer rug without you, not eating pork chops or ribs with you, and being married to someone who is unclean and will burn in hell...I would say go for it.
If she's not a devout Muslim...but ascribes to the religion or was brought up that way...your chances improve 10 fold...just don't expect her family to embrace you.
been there - done that...
waited 7 years for her to say I do...
and what she said instead was "I can't"
good luck

I know such couples here in UAE. Actually if you are friends- it is ok. If you want to get married, accept that muslim lady is NOT ALLOWED to marry non muslim man.
In couples I know ( muslim girl and non muslim boy), men had accepted Islam for their fiances...One man from Sri-lanka, one german guy and british one. Girsl were muslims and boy had converted to Islam to be able to marry them

dude sorry to say, but in Islam thats NOT possible at all, as far as marriage is concerned, 'coz obviously as time passes by, u r going to be influencing her in ur religion. i know u can marry without caring of Religion. i was just giving u the Islamic Perspective. Peace to All.

One of you will have to renounce your faith if you want to eventually get married. My father-in-law had to convert from Christianity to Islam in order to marry my mother-in-law. Her religion wouldn't allow the marriage otherwise, or accept her standing in the faith. After the marriage, they both renounced their religions and brought up their kids simply believing in God.
Best of luck to you.
P.S. My wife then converted to Christianity AFTER we were married. She did so on her own accord without any prompting from me.
