Apart from the fact that they dont eat pork, I know nothing else! Feel a bit uncomfortable.

You shouldn't have anything to worry about, I sincerely doubt your going to end up wearing a burka or blowing yourself up/being blown up, by him anyway...
Muslims in this country are usually tolerant of other religions. if he isn't, I sincerely doubt you would keep seeing him. Just don't try to convert him, he would find that just as offensive as you would if he tried to convert you.
The xenophobic (I say that with all do respect, not implying racism but just that people of other cultures can be intimidating to some people) barrier should wear off in time.
Good luck, and congratulations on your new relationship.

The Muslim may think you are halal to him but you are not because you are an infidel like all pagans.
He may try to convince you that Christians are People of the Book and that's because he does not understand Islam.
He may even tell you that Muslims believe in Jesus but tell him he is a liar because there is no Jesus in the Quran and Isa is not Jesus in any language or not in any form or fashion.
The fact is that there are many people who call themselves Muslims but they are a disgrace to Islam and follow Christianity and the Bible and have converted the Quran into a secondary Bible.
So! I am sure your friend is a fake Muslim and you have great reason to be aware.
These Muslims will be nice to you when you are a Christian and will trick you about Jesus and Jews and Christians, but if you accept what they tell you and become Muslim, they show you a different face when you question them at that time.
These fakes are the hardest-hearted people in the World right now. Ask him about the law for multiple wives and how does a Muslim man expect to love them all the same? Ask him why does Allah say that if you know what is good for you, only one wife?
And ask him about honour killing of wives in the Middle East and why they advocate stoning women to death when the Quran denies them such barbaric laws?
Take Care!

Yes, he's a Muslim!
Sorry, don't mean to be bigoted, but he is a Muslim!
I had a secretary 10 years ago who dated a Muslim Arab in Chicago. She had one date and one date only. He stalked her. I walked her to her car, he called her later and asked who the man was, and he threatened to kill me. He also told her to cut her hair and dress more conservatively. He actually got arrested for harrassing her, but defied court orders and kept bothering her. He moved to N Jersey, than God. I heard other stories similar stories as well. I am sure you will get naive liberals blasting your question, or certainly my comments, but we live in a real world. Muslims are killing people all over the world, and maybe this guy is real swell, but I would move on, if he'll let you.
Good Luck. Doesn't your parish have a singles night or some good men named O'Reilly or Mannino you can go out with?

we pray 5 times a day once early in the morning, Afternoon, around 4 o'clock, around 6 o'clock evening prayer and the night prayer around 8-9 o'clock.
don't feel uncomfortable unless you see bad behavior but dont let the paranoia gets to you.
we are good people and if he's a true Muslim he'll treat you with great respect and care.

His family will probably think that you're a whore. Muslims aren't allowed to date and any woman who sees a man and does not have her head covered for respect is one. But that is very old fashioned. My best friend was muslim and she wasn't very strict. Her family kind of was. They made her get married when she was 17 and she already has two kids. If his family thinks that you two haven't had sex and are just looking for friendship, then they won't mind. I think it all depends on the type of people they are. You can't just go by religion. Maybe he's very nice. Some muslim men get married to a very young woman but they take care of them and love them. But these women aren't allowed to work, but that's just in the muslim countries. I see more and more muslim women at my college who are extremely intelligent. Times have certainly changed and it will be interesting to be dating someone that has a different belief. You might try to convert him and he might try to convert you, but just remember he is a person. If he cares about you and doesn't care that you have a different religion, then what is there to worry about? Did you ever think that he might be thinking that he might be going through the same thing as you? Talk about it

Here's some google directory links for you. You can read up on Muslim practices and grab a basic understanding here

Don't listen to any of the hate filled responses from the bigots here. I have no idea what God they pray to but I'm sure spewing intolerence like that isn't condoned.
Good luck and Peace to you both!

You'll be judged by everyone who knows you, harassed by the CIA, and recruited by Fidel Castro's bastard nephew. You'll be thrown in prison, where many bad things will happen to you.
After you're released from prison he will kill you and take your children. He'll trade them on the black market for heroin. Your children will become sexual slaves to desert-dwelling, heroin smoking, radical Muslims. After the ddhsrm's have used your children up they'll call your children whores and kill them.
After that, your man will become a suicide bomber and eliminate himself from this world along with 2100 innocent people.
Hey, your call though. I mean, totally no pressure. It's cool. I'm sure Muslims in America are different. It's not like it's the religion that inspires their debauchery... right?

I know a very happily married couple, Muslim&Catholic, ask him to talk to you about it, not all Muslims are devout

If you move back to his country he owns you and what ever children you have. He can say I divorce you three times and through you out penniless, and if you are raped or talk to another man he must take your life to protect his honor. That's about all. Oh!! If you have a daughter be prepared to have her circumcised at seven years of age.(removal of the clitoris)

isn't that what a relationship is for? just get to know him, find out about his religion and beliefs, don't feel comfortable, I'm sure he has a lot of questions about your religion as well.
