I am a devoted Catholic and feel that he is making a big mistake particularly when homosexuality is not allowed in Islam.

If this is his choice you will have to give him up

Well, if he is going to become a Muslim, that's a lot better than practicing homosexuality. I truly hope he does, and if he does, and stops practicing such an abomination, God willing, he will be forgiven for all of his past sins.
Btw, homosexuality is the big mistake, not Islam. It is insulting to even mention them in the same sentence. Islam is above anything else in this world. AllahoAkbar!

Introduce your partner to further learnings about Christianity. Interesting similarities via comparisons can be found to Islam. Also, if willing, consult a Priest or Reverend for further information. Be sure to at all times, discuss the matter openly.
Remember also, Religion is of a personal choice. It would be best that we all human beings try not to quarrel, war and fight about what 'God(s)' we wish to honour and worship. I don't think anyone of a spiritual nature would like to see humankind war and fight. It's a small planet. And I don't think any God or in the teachings of any religious/spriritual belief would appreciate witnessing our destruction, I mean regardless of your beliefs.
Homosexuality is condemned in many religions. But think of this: If you trust your God in whatever way, are pure of heart and have Love, then I assure you, all will work out. Regardless of the faiths either of you pursue.

Everyone should be free to believe and worship what they wish.
Homosexuality?? When did the Catholic church accept that?
You are just another Christian who believes only they can be right and seeking to force your views on others.
Honour him and stop trying to stop him following his beliefs. Why are you with him if his beliefs are more important than your love for him. If you cannot love him because of a religion you should do both of you a favour and end the relationship now. It is not him who has the problem here - it is you!!!!

hmmm... this is an interesting situation. as christians, i feel that it is part of our duty as christians to spread the good news of jesus, and talking to people about jesus. talk to him about christ and see how that goes. but, it sounds like you are a little lost, yourself, with religion. in your religion, homosexuality is considered immoral as well (look at "leviticus 18:22 and 20:13" in the bible).
it can be very difficult to convert someone when you are not completely sure of yourself, so before you start converting other people, you should make sure your own faith is solid, because if you don't completely believe in your religion, how can you teach someone else to believe in it?

Pray for him .Are you telling me that he is marrying a Muslim man?
No way!!!!!!!!!!!! I think you should also change because I believe,although I'm evangelical,that homosexuality is prohibited in the Catholic Church , what more to say Christianity.

Ultimately It is his choice. By the way, Catholics arent generally welcoming to homosexuals either, are they? Has this stopped you? Talk to him about it. Often love prevails over religion. GoodLuck, and best wishes to you both.

Islam is the truth and give people true purpose to their lives. homosexuality is not enough to keep your friend from changing his way of life to that of the divine faith of Islam. You will not be able to be with him once he converts, God willing. I'm glad for him and hopes he gives up that evil and filthy lifestyle you practice.

To be fair, as much as you'd like to think it is, it's not really your decision to make. Religion is a personal experience and in order to get the most out of it, you need to make your own decisions. Because the change seems gradual, it's obvious he's thinking this through, and he probably has his own reasons for it. If you're really concerned, sit down and talk to him about it.

I think it is a bit strange for someone of your sexual preferance to look down upon a person for freely expressing his beliefs, not that being gay is bad--just stating that gays desire acceptance in society just as much as those who are Muslim. I am not a homosexual or a religious person myself, however, one can pick and choose those things in which he or she belives in and should look to thier loved ones for support.
