It's not about what your father believes. It is about what YOU believe. I will tell you, because I have first-hand experience with this. If you and your bf have different religious beliefs, you can forget it. I got married when I was 20 to a man that I loved more than anything in the world, and thought the religion thing wouldn't be a big deal. As the years passed, it became and bigger deal. Eventually, that was one of the main obstacles in keeping our marriage together. We divorced after 18 years of misery. Don't do this to yourself. Others may disagree, but I know that you cannot be a team if you are unequally yoked. Blessing to you!

Religion should not be a barrier to love. My boyfriend is also a Muslim and I am a Christian...Despite this fact, my family gets along well with him and have no issues with us getting married. Sit your father down and tell him that you love your boyfriend and you are not marrying him for his religion. Ask your father what is the big deal? The most important thing is that your boyfriend treats you well and is kind to you.

I dated a Muslim man and the religion is very different. I don't think you should judge him but realize that if you end up getting married there are very big cultural differences especially in regards to women. You also need to talk to your boyfriend and see how he feels about your religion? Is he tolerant? If you choose to stay with him do not change our religion or yourself to please him that isn't fair and you both just have to be open minded in some areas to each others culture.

You love the guy and that's fine so get married if such is your desire.
The real question is what do you believe? Are you willing to convert or do you have strong christian beliefs? Most people that convert have weak beliefs so it doesn't matter. If you don't have a strong christian faith, get married, convert and let your children decide. If you are a christian, and Jesus Christ is your Lord and Savior, then you got a problem. You have a lot of questions to ask yourself.

I think it's your life and you should go ahead and marry the guy, if you love him. Your father has hid life and made his own choice and you should do the same, I think your father will come around some day, so go ahead grab that chance for happiness.

follow your heart, true love is so hard to find. I'm sorry for all involved if your Dad can't get over his prejudices and regardless of the differences in religion accept him. If your happy and he treats you good, please don't call it off for that. At what point do we need to leave our parents and go out on our own?

I am sorry you have this conflict but it is a sin to marry out of your religion so your dad has a point but he should be more mature about the subject. i don't know what to tell you I am on your dads side.

No because being in a relationship means understanding one anothers beliefs and thoughts, not trying to change them.
