I have plenty of christian/catholic friends who are very happily married to Muslim men. If you truly have fears first of all you should sit and talk to her without predjiduce. Announce your fears to her and ask her questions kindly.
She does not have to become Muslim if she does not want to. It is her personal choice. He can marry her without her conversion into Islam. But if he is trying to force her now I would suggest to her to leave him. If it is important for her to remain Christian tell her to make that 100 % clear to the man she is seeing.
As for their children together: they will have to be Muslim. If this is a problem for your daughter she should reconsider her future with this man. A Muslim man raises Muslim children, it is his blood right (as the blood right of the Jewish belong to the mother)
I have seen it work out every time. But that is only my personal experience and witness.
Don't let him force her into anything. It is against Islam for the man to force her into mairrage, or to demand she give up her faith. Muslim men Can marry Christians and Jews. Good luck and God bless.

It will only be a problem ifyuter and her fiance are not understanding of each other's religion and beliefs. My mother was Jewish and my father Christian. I was raised in a very happy home and even though my mother passed away two years ago, my parents marriage lasted over 20 years. Having two faiths in one home did not break their marriage!!!!!
If they are in love and they are willing to make the marriage work, than I don't see how there could be any problems between your daughter and this guy. However, you said that she does not agree with his becoming a muslim...so maybe there is a lack of understanding and respect for each other's faiths. If this is the case...than yes, problems will arise due to the lack of intolerance and understanding from both their parts.

You should worry about this situation. If two people do not agree on very basic beliefs and principles, it seems unlikely that they will resolve important problems. What faith will the child follow?

do not let anyone put you down. as a fellow muslim anyone can convert to Islam. but like you stated it is important to understand Islam before converting. I advise to read books. the internet is misleading. read the quran too. If you need one you can contact me an i can help you get an english translated quran. also with Islam comes responsibility. especially with what is happening around the world. as a muslim it is important to contain our anger and teach others what islam preaches and what it condemns. feel free to contact me for any furthur questions. i an serious. salamu alykum

If they love and respect each other, it will work. Neither should have to convert for the other. The child can be raised in both sets of beliefs. it's possible, I've seen it happen. A very good friend of mine was raised both Muslim and Catholic. :)

you are seeing the problem now. The real issue is if she marries, her husband will become her spiritual authority.
By God's eyes, their sexual union is considered marriage.
Repent and ask forgiveness and break this off somehow. If she marries, God will allow the Muslim authority to rule over her. It will be by her choice.

My best friend was in the same situation. Unfortunately, once the heart gets involved, there's not reasoning with a girl. I had to give up trying to convince my friend that this was not God's way. I went into hard prayer mode and quit trying to do it myself. Once I let go, God stepped in and changed her heart, opened her eyes. It's not easy, but you can't really do anything except gently and lovingly share your thoughts with her. Prayer / God is the only one that can actually change the situation. But Love. Always love your daughter - never alienate her.

Religious differences are as bad as money problems for breaking down the relationship between two people. It is not a good sign if they are both on opposing sides.

There is a law under Muslim Marriage whereby marriage between a muslim man and a non muslim woman is not frowned upon. (the woman does not need to convert)
It is used in all arab countries
I'm not sure what it entails tho..

if he doesnt mind the fact that she already has a child then its fine! but to be able to get married, inthe religion says tht the women should convert ! although if the guy aggrees then no probs! but maybe she would have probs with his famly if they r also muslims!
