Okay so i am a muslim and people say muslims should marry muslims and if you marry like Cahtolics,Christians,Black People, or anybody not your religion it's disgraceful to my religion? Is this true or should I chose how I want to marry?

Take your life into your own hands and make your own decisions or your own happiness. No one has the right to tell you who you can and cannot love.

This is a good question for you to ask.
I would say, it is YOUR RIGHT to chose who you marry and NO ONE ELSES!
In your position I would marry someone with as similar beliefs as possible. Catholics and Christians are no different, same as with methodist, baptist...etc...etc...main differences are in the way they conduct their church services...basically anyway...there are some other differences but in essance that's about it...
now with Christians and Muslims, both believe in one god...they dissagree on Jesus. And Muslims tend to hold Muhammed at an almost god-like position...so yes, there will be some conflicting views...but getting as close as you can will improve your likelyhood of the marriage lasting.
You also bring up different races...this is NOT a factor to consider...there is no difference between you, me, or any other human on this planet.
We are all humans...everyone else's skin is just a little darker or a little bit lighter. That's like saying I shouldn't marry someone with freckles...sure...genetically there is a slight difference...but we are both humans. it is the EXACT same with those of african/ethiopian/iranian decent (cause all those folks are very dark skinned) versus those of eruopean decent...same as the difference between two white folks where only one has freckles.
Now if you are so led by your following in Islam then I'm pretty sure there is some islamic law prohibiting you from marrying a non-muslim...
Follow you heart...it's usually right...disregard the crap that plops from others mouths...you know what's right and what's wrong. If you are in love with someone...you aren't in love with their skin color...or their synigog/chapel/mosk are you? Those things add to the equation of love but they do not equal love.

Actually, as I understand it, the Muslim religion does not prohibit marriage across color lines, only marriage to a non-Muslim is forbidden. For women, at least. Muslim men can marry women of other religions as long as they are of the "book" - Jewish or Christian. Muslim women are supposed to marry only Muslim men.

Well, it depends on what answer you want. I'm guessing the tenets of your religion do say that you will marry a muslim. However, if you're looking for support in freedom to marry who you want, you'll find it here.

Lets say you met a Southern Baptist from Bohunk, Arkansas and you loved each other. Would you let your beliefs decide your fate? If nether of you could reach the other with what you believe what would you do? In my opinion you can't let anything ruin it for each other if your love was real. Maybe you can't fall in love with anyone but your religious inclinations no matter what. It's a tough question that only you can answer...

If you want to marry outside your religion, what are you guys going to teach your kids?!?!?!?!!?!?!?!!? How are you 2 going to deal with the constant friction of not holding to the same truth?
Forgive me but it doesnt sound like you are very devoted to your religion at all. It sounds more like you want what you want rather than what God wants for your life. He wants you to accept Jesus and worship him but do what seems best to you and understand the consequences!

yes sister!! it's against your religion to marry a non Muslim man.
as it's against a Muslim man to marry an unbeliever.
Muslims take their father's religion, if you marry a christian or a jew your children won't be Muslims.

No matter what ANY religion or church or organized dogma tells you, it is not disgraceful to love another human being.
Best thing to do is to decide for yourself, for it is not the OTHERS that will answer to God for your behaviour, it is YOU.
If you wish to maintain your dignity and status as a HUMAN BEING, choose for YOURSELF. NO religion has the right to dictate who you shall 'love'.

Although it would be so much easier to marry into one's own religion, love itself, knows no religion.
If you fell in love with someone of another faith, & he with you, then follow your heart.

Do you want to have problems with the way that you raise your kids...say the Christian wants to take you children to a Christian church...or refuses to allow your believes to be heard? that is why we should not be "unequally yolked" but that is something that you need to decide for yourself..ultimately it is your choice.
