Oh sister, you know the rules when it comes to marriage. Muslim women are only allowed to marry Muslim men otherwise the marriage is not legal. You are doing the right thing in not continuing the relationship, be patient and you will be given another path. You know most of us have been in the same predicament and we got through it very well and stronger than before. :-)
Pray to Allah and he will help you.

Because there is a thing called intolerance that is often attached to the very firm beliefs held by a religious individual. It causes the inability to compromise in many instance. Realistically you cannot mix oil and water. And you cannot mix two completely polar sets of religious dogma unless both people are willing to reach a compromise. And religion does not compromise as you cannot serve 2 masters.

Isn't it ironic?
Every religion says love is supreme. But do not let you love a guy from another religion.
Muslim parents for example will not tolerate their daughter marrying a non-Muslim. They however do not mind their son marrying a non-Muslim girl, because they can convert that girl to Islam and when she has kids it adds to Muslim producing mothers.

Well if you insist on believing in your god than maybe you could see this as a message from your god. A message to built a bridge of love between two religions to show people that people and love are more important than a different view on who or what god is. Good luck dear, I hope you follow your heart.

Religion is the people of God living in union with His laws and giving Him daily worship in love and fidelity.
when we turn our religion into tribal bias it defeats the purpose of that religion, you will no doubt face this bias in this relationship from both families and probably those around you, and so you both need to fully understand the problems and be realistic about this,your love may appear to be strong enough now to cope with the pressure but how will it stand up to future verbal abuse.

See, that's what we call religious intolerance. If your family would rather see you unhappy and with someone of your religion than happy with someone of another religion, they clearly don't have your best interest at heart. That being the case, who cares what they think?

become a Jew. Follow Jesus. i would flare up if my brother (we are christians) wanted to marry a muslim. but that's just because the Bible says
'do not yoke yourself (marry or become intimate with) an unbeliever' (please don't be offended. Jesus loves you whether you believe in him or not!)
i'm sorry that your havin this problem.

if you're positive that both sides of the family won't go for it, you have two choices: 1. don't fall in love with each other 2. elope and say screw the family, we have each other.

You can learn much from each other. I believe God allows these differences that we might learn to love truly unconditionally.
