You can follow 1000 religions. AS long as you only worship G-d and have Jesus in your heart, I'll see ya in heaven for an ice cream, brother

Yes, it is allowed. Improve yourself and be informed and the rest will follow suit, Allah willing. When she sees you improving,
she may ask questions. PS: And know you bible. But share things with her in a respect manner and do not debase her, don't expect a quick change. The very worse thing that can happen is she has high respect for your religion. Again don't push her, let her go in her speed, study and be informed, and know the Bible. Many people have converted to Islam from knowing the Bible.
And pray for her guidance, conversions some times take years.
Patience and Knowledge. Improve yourself so you can bring Islam clear to her in your actions. Just improve yourself.
Here is a great site. You can play Quran in the Morning on your computer. http://english.islamway.com/bindex.php?section=echapters&recitor_id=171
And here a site that you can learn almost anything Islam, the layout is very great and not confusing, I love this site.

Again, you can't convert anyone if you are not knowlegable, informed about your religion, and submitted to Allah. And you can only invite to Islam when she wants to change, if the want is not there nothing will convert her. The want may come from your actions and submissiveness to Allah.

No I don't think they can. I used to but I married a man who was just a different Christian religion and it was difficult. Don't try and make your wife convert you would not like it if she tried to convert you. Its a very personal decision. I personally would never of married a non-Christian, I would not want my Children raised any other way and if I had there would have been that serious issues. Stick to your own.

I am sorry to say you guys will have conflicts on food (you dun eat pork), raising children (she may want to raise in Christian style while you not) and many other stuffs which you might think it is trival but it can upset your relationship. Who are the children going to follow? Friday with you to Mosque or Sunday to church with your wife? How should you guys / children react when you pray the muslim way and if your wife is a charistmatic christian how would you react if she pray in tongues?
You guys need to sit down and talk about it before agreeing to marry each other.

Wake up and, as a Christian you won't be expected to kill anyone to get into paradise. We love and forgive. I wish Muslims would do that too. All I hear about Muslims is there desire of the blood of those who are not Muslims. As a Christian, I accept others as they are and do not want to harm them just because they don't accept my religion. Why can't Muslims live in peace with those who are not Muslims?

She's right. And it can work. So long as neither of you tries to convert the other.
My husband is a methodist ministers son with a leaning toward buddhism. I'm Wiccan. Can't get much more different than that. And we're working very well.

I agree with her. People with different faiths can work out, they just can't force their faith upon the other, or use their faith to put the other in an uncomfortable position. If they both accept and respect the believes of eachother, then it should work just fine.

My Boyfriend was an Atheist, and I am a Pagan.
No Gods and a Whole Bunch of Gods.
It can work. Eventually, your beliefs will blend together.
You don't need to convert one another. Eventually, you'll both discover your own, shared truths.

If religion separates husband and wife, it is not a true religion.
When you and your wife reread the Bible and the Quran to see that you both are worshipping the One True God through two of His many Prophets, then you will realize greater love, greater harmony, greater happiness.
Let not the rituals, formalities, traditions... to spoil your beautiful souls.

Depends how flexible you both are. Christianity and Islam come from the same monotheisic tradition. They both draw on some of the same stories and texts. I think if you are both willing to be more liberal in your views, you could make it work.
