Dude...don't listen to retards. Except me. lol. There is nothing wrong with that. If any religion is keeping you guys apart that religions not worth following. Follow instead your heart. And their is nothing in the bible or qu'ran about marrying other peoples of the book anyways, so have a nice life.
And that crap about the kids. Teach them both ways and let them follow thier own beliefs. This is the 21st century. You guys will do fine.

A muslim man can marry a christian woman and convert her, but a muslim woman cannot marry a christian man. If your boyfriend is good to you and you love him then don't listen to other people. If he's not the kind of guy you would want to be with for the rest of your life don't waste your time.

You can if you wish to be disobedient to the Word of God.
As it is written: "Stop becoming unevenly yoked with unbelievers. What partnership can righteousness have with lawlessness? What fellowship can light have with darkness?" (II Corinthians 6:14)
The god of Muhammad (Allah) is not the Father of Jesus, nor is he the God of the Bible. The Qur'an states rather clearly, "Proclaim: Allah is One. Allah is Eternal. He neither begets nor was begotten." (Surah 112:1-4)
In Christianity, we believe that Jesus was begotten. (John 1:14) And we believe Jesus to be God. He applied the name of God, "I AM," to Himself in several passages. Here's a few examples: Matthew 14:27, Mark 6:50, Mark 13:6, Luke 21:8, John 4:26, John 6:20, John 8:24, 28, 58, and John 13:19. (Some English translations have mistranslated the words "I am" to "It is I," or "I am He.")
Now, we have an enigma. Either Islam is right, and Jesus is not God, nor begotten; or Christianity is right, and Jesus is God, and is begotten. We can't have it both ways. Islam will never hold to a belief that Jesus is God. And Christians will not accept that Jesus is not God, and is not begotten. Therefore, they do not worship the same God.
You have already placed yourself in this situation, and regardless of which way you choose, there will be consequences. Should you marry this guy, your belief system will change. Should you break up, your and his hearts will be broken.

It's up to you. From the mainstream point of view it's a one way ticket. You're going to have to deal with Jesus in a whole new way. You can't leave once you convert, except, according to the Qur'an, by DEATH.
It's up to you. There is no coming back, because Islam BLASPHEMS Christianity by saying Jesus is NOT the son of God and DIDN'T die for our salvation.
If you can't see that, then you're not really a Christian, so who cares. You don't at least. You're a pretend Christians. One of those Sunday church goers and Jesus means nothing to you on a deep level.
You're choice. I wish you the best.

I would never say you CAN'T. It's your life.
I would just say be careful and really think this through. Do not be led by your "heart" on this one. K?
I don't know these stereotypes of which you speak, I just know that Christians believe the husband is to be the spiritual leader of the household. You really want your kids to be a different faith then you? I know it's not romantic but you have to think of these important life issues now.
You want to share your love for God with your husband.
And please don't say "oh, he'll convert later on." What if he doesn't?

Dating is forbidden in Islam. Muslim women can only marry Muslim men. Muslim men can marry Christian women, Muslim women, or Jewish women.

Yes, you can, and it is allowed. Not all sterotypes are true dont let it get to you.
I dated a muslim (persian) and none of the bad things they said about them was true. He was a gentleman and had a very loving family with who I got along really well.
Just keep your eyes open, and really see him for him, like in any relationship, and everything will be great.

In the US, marriage is a LEGAL CONTRACT under each state's own laws. So, sure, you can marry the guy legally, as to the differing backgrounds, I think you are not likely to be together for any length of time. As to the Christian/Islam laws, I don't know, not been around long enough.
