Well, I think that Jesus's teachings are similar to Muhammed's, however, the 'christian' teachings have strayed from Jesus' original teachings and have basically placed him as a God instead of a messenger of God as is Muhammed. If the couple can understand and discuss their religions and come to a common ground. Ok. But, then there are 'cultural' differences, unless the christian was raised around muslims and their culture, which is not very likely. It's not so much the religion as the cultures that are so different. That's where the two need to work together to understand and be patient and not be so sensitive...to realize that it's not an over night ability to getting along well. Kindness and patient communication is key! Peace!

I think that those religions are inately incompatible. However, this is not to say that a relationship couldn't work. I think that both parties would have to agree that thier religions come second to the marriage, and a discussion would have to be had regarding how any children as products of the relationship would be raised. They say that love conquers all, and in some cases I believe that is true, but marriage between people of such different religions can make that more difficult.

It wouldnt stand a chance if both were commmitted to their faith. The christian would be able to accept the other faith and live with it but the Muslim religion forbids them from accepting anyones elses faith, so therefore it couldnt work...... the christian would have to change to Muslim, so therefore the christian wouldnt have been very committed in the first place.

A marriage is very important religious thing and is for whole life contract and not a fun or jock. In my point of view marriage between two different religious persons, may have some problems, as one needs to attend church and other wanted to pray in a masjid. Similarly for children, mom will try to line them up for her religion while dad will insist for his ideology.
Therefore, its better that you decide which religion is the latest one and both convert and stick to that. As religion history reveals that when GOD sends a new messanger and he (messanger) asks the followers of earlier messager to accept his message ( as he is now messanger of GOD) and convert to his message.

If you two can keep the relationship strong then go for it. If your religious background can be seperate without changing the others thoughts I would say good for you. Love is not religious. I will not say it wont be a bumpy road but if one does not try to convert the other good for them. Otherwise that road may be better off not traveled. If you can work them out good for you.

The religions are too different you are setting yourself up to fail..Christians believe that you should not marry any one that is not equally yoked or of the same religion..Remember christians believe Jesus is the son of GOD..Muslims dont believe that.
Just becareful

If you love each other then you should beable to come to some compromise on what your going to do about religion.I don't know why you just can't both do your own thing when it comes to that.I thought married people want each other to be happy.

2nd Corinthians6:14 States " Be ye not unequally yoked together wiht unbelievers for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? And what communion hath light with darkness. this means to people who have faith in different religions should not marry. ( They are unequally yoked)

If it makes them happy and they can reconcile their cultural differences, then go for it. I suggest a long engagement while they work out the cultural issues and their families adjust to the idea.

Be ye not unequally yoked holds true!...How then would they be able to fellowship with each other?...Additionally, any offsprings also run the risk of being spiritually confused!
