He's pretty liberal, sweet, non-chauvinistic and has a deep faith in God... So do I, even though I'm from another religious background. Can this thrive?
Only serious non-biggot answers here, please. Thanks.

All relationships have a major problems involved. Rather if it is culture shock, children, age, trust, life styles, race, personalities. The key is to not give up and be receptive to each others feelings. But the BEST advice i can give you is DO NOT LET outside people interfere, including your parents, they will mess you up. As long as you all are receptive to each others feeling, it will work out. That's with all relationships, being with each other may increase your faith because you may realize that God's direction is in other religions too.
My major point is All relationships have there Big Obstacle that they have to overcome, yours just happens to be religion. Which will not be an obstacle if you don't make it, And especially not allowing or listening others make it. Whenever you have disagreement, just speak to him respectful in calm tone and listen well, he will follow in kind and your lives will fit and problems will be gradually erased or eased. Remember all relationships are hard, don't give up and be kind and respectful to each other. yes it will work, its not different from other relationships with their major problems. You can make it work with love, respect, and understanding. That is the Key with all relationships. Take you time, and when you get really serious ask, KINDLY, about children, holidays...etc.. If you all can listen to each other with open minds and come to a understanding then good. But it depends on what you all want. IT will work out for the best Ask God and don't expect it to be easy.

Of course it will work, but for how long? Its not only about you, its also about the people you know. He is most likely to have more muslim friends, just like you are to have more catholic friends. How will the parents of both of you react? Will some friends leave you for being with him? So its also about how your social networks will cope with each other. Try to check that out as well. That is also a key to a healthy relationship. Good Luck!

Any relationship will have their ups and downs
As long as you both can see where your religions agree and agree to disagree on those parts that do not you will be happy.
My parents are a perfect example. My Father is atheist and my Mother is Christian. Yes they have had their fair share of fighting about the other's beliefs. But they have been happily married for 29 years

well it depends. I mean if you say he is liberal he should not have a problem with being with someone from different religion. It also depends on you. I mean my best friend is catholic and this guy she liked was Muslim. He liked her and wanted to be with her but his family forbid him. Sometimes families don't approve, but if your both adults or old enough to know what you want, go for it. No one has a right to stop you from being happy. Its like saying if your not white it wont work out because we have different customs. Love breaks all boundaries.It all depends if
you want to will be willing to fight for your love nomatter the obstacles .Good luck

I'm sure everything seems cool now, but marriage is a life-time commitment. I just don't see this relationship enduring over the long haul. And, oh...what if there are children? Even if the parents agree to raise them one or the other, will their peers accept them, or will they always have to deal with being unwanted or even hated by bigots on both sides?
No, this does not sound like a good idea to me.

Chances are no. There are fundemental differences in your religions that your just going to have to face. It has never happened that I've heard of. At some point your going to hit the wall and either your going to break up or one of you is going to have to convert. I'm not saying it to be mean its just if he's serious about his religion it going to be very hard. What about your families? What about you children, just things that you have to think about now, there is no reason investing years in a relationship that is going nowhere.

yeah of course, his and your parents have to be tolerant (if you guys are close with family) my dad is jewish and my mom is catholic and it didn't matter with them. Islam is very much like Catholicism and if you are willing to take your own interpretation on your religion, and marry outside of it for love than go for it. it could work, it depends on the people getting married
Good luck!

slim to none since a catholic is a christian and scripture tells him
2 corinthians 6:14. Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness?
15. What harmony is there between Christ and Belial ? What does a believer have in common with an unbeliever?

Question for you: Imagine you have kids and you disagree as to what religion to raise your children in? Yeah, the honeymoon's over.
