And now for a sensible and totally serious answer.

I know you love and trust your boyfriend, but I think it would be a really good idea if you were to find out what Islam is really all about before you convert. I lived in Saudi Arabia for two years when I was in the Air Force, and I'll tell you right now that I don't think any American woman would like her place in an Islamic-ruled society. Every religion has its good and bad points, but as has already been said, Islam is one of the most stringent, hardest religions to follow that there is.

Be choosy on how you educate yourself about Islam. Keep in mind that if you ask a Muslim, you're going to get the standard line that it's the greatest, most forgiving religion in the world. Search the web for sites that will give you the honest story, and if nothing else go to http:///freequran.com, obtain a free copy of the Qu'aran (the Muslim holy book), and read for yourself what the religion is all about.

This is a HUGE thing you're considering doing in the name of love...for your own good, be absolutely sure that this is what you want to do. Muslim households, if run by the rules of Islam, are VERY strict and VERY restrictive for women.

Good luck.

Whoa ! Aren't you rushing things a bit ? I suggest you convert to Islam first and see if it suits you. And have you met your fiancé's family ? As far as behaviour, religious observance, diet and dress are concerned, each Islamic community is different and each family is different; your future mother-in-law should be able to advise you, or your fiancé's elder sisters, if the mother-in-law isn't around. Some families are fairly relaxed about religious observance, while others expect you to pray five times a day. Some insist on eating halal meat only - others buy whatever Tesco or Asda have on special offer (as long as it's not pork). Some families will expect you to wear a headscarf (the hijab) - other families won't worry, as long as you don't go out wearing a mini-skirt or very short shorts.

A few no-noes: Don't criticise the religion (Muslims tend to be a bit up-tight about this) and never, never criticise, belittle or make fun of the Prophet Muhammad. Respect the Koran (or Qur'an), so don't use it, for instance, to prop up a wobbly table !

Forget about those prejudiced morons who talk about stoning to death, having to wear a burqa or your daughters not being allowed to receive an education. This is not Afghanistan under Taliban rule.

Give it six months. If your fiancé loves you as much as you love him, he'll wait.

How did you accept Islam without knowing anything about it, go and get married don't wear any revealing clothes and ask you boyfriend more about Islam and learn along the way, but as soon as you know a practic eof islam it your duty to carry it out.

if u are planning to move to a muslim country then, dont cheat on him, it carrys the death penelty, also the islamic faith is very restrictive of women, you need to read a copy of the islamic holy book before you get into this.. you may love him but can you spend the rest of ur life following VERY strict rules

Congratulations, i wish you the happiest of marriges

And you are asking this question with just 2 weeks to the wedding! Has it occurred to you that if you were serious about this, at all, that you would already know the answer.

Is this what you really want, or what you feel is required of you, love maybe blind, but blind faith!

Whatever happens good luck xx

he obviously loves you get him to convert christianity is a simpler religion to follow:) dunno if his family will accept you both then, but why should you convert your obviously wary about this new thing and what if you get it wrong????? omg easier if he becomes christian at least you and he can live your own lives then and not have to give up anything for the sake of religion as christians do not expect prayers every day do not expect church every sunday they just offer you a beleif and ways in which to practice that beleif how far you practice it is up to yourself,,, much easier i think

You must only revert to Islam under your own will and not for a man. If you study Islam in depth, you will realise that it gives you more rights and secures your well being.

Goodluck
