Interreligious marriages of muslims are permitted with the following restrictions. The most commonly accepted interpretation is that Islam only allows a man to marry a non-Muslim, and only if she is Christian or Jewish. The wife need not adopt any Muslim customs, and the husband is not allowed to keep her from going to church or synagogue. Muslim women are not allowed to marry non-Muslims.
Many Christians believe that anyone has the freedom to choose her or his partner for life, and that love has no boundaries. This attitude is found most often among those who may be identified as progressive or liberal Christians.
Some Christian denominations forbid interreligious marriage.
Opponents of interreligion marriages argue that having parents of two opposing religions causes psychological stress on the children in such a marriage, as they often are effectively forced to choose one parent over another.
Many people also believe that introducing two contradictory belief systems into a marriage is grounds for marital strife, and increases the rate of divorce.

The quran state that a muslim man can marry any women of the book, christian, jew etc... however a muslim woman cannot marry a non muslim man even if their beleifs are similar. The man would be required to to convert to islam before marrying the woman.

Contrary to what many Muslims want you to think, the fact is that they don't worship the same God. According to the Bible and the Torah, we are supposed to love our fellow man and even pray for those that treat us badly. According to the Q'uran, Muslims are supposed to kill both Christians and Jews. Does this sound like two messages from the same God? The God the Muslims follow is NOT the God of the Bible.

Since Muslims consider Jews & Christians "People of The Book", I would have to say nothing.

Nothing if you can reach some agreement, normally it will be all change on the non Muslims side. You have to understand the level of commitment required because faith and culture are totally intertwined and it could appear restrictive in some ways. Do your homework first then decide if you can cope with it for life.

Christians and Muslims have very different beliefs. As a Christian, I would never date outside of my faith, let alone marry outside it. My faith is too important to me. As someone else pointed out, the Bible instructs us to not be unevenly yoked. This is especially important in marriage.
Emotions often cloud important issues. Marriage is so much more than warm fuzzy feelings. It is a joining of two lives. A difference this big is difficult to overcome.

There is alot wrong with it b/c Christians and Muslims don't have the same beliefs. Also in the Bible it says that you cannot be unevenly yoked, and a Christian and Muslim is not even.
