My wife has a wonderful secretary named Hajra at her law office. Hajra is a beautiful and friendly young woman who hasn't gone overboard with that islam stuff. I think it's just something that she was born under. She speaks very good English!
Anyway, the little woman and I would like to start taking her to our church to meet a nice young man to help take care of her. What is the process of converting someone from islam to Christianity?
We are comfortable with Hajra going to either major religion, Protestant or Catholicism.

Perhaps you should respect her choice of religion.
What right do you have to force your system of belief upon someone else?

Um, has Hajra said that she WANTS to convert to Christianity?
If so, fine. Go for it.
If she has not specifically expressed interest, LEAVE HER ALONE. She will find her own way. If she is meant to become Christian, she will do this in her own time. If you're in the U.S., she has an overwhelming number of sources of information about Christianity. You personally are not her only source.

This is horrible. If I were her, I'd be a little insulted, and VERY uncomfortable. It is especially inappropriate in a professional setting. And since your wife is actually above her in rank, it might cause you legal problems if it comes across that you're trying to force or pressure her. Which is how she very well might take it.
Nice to know you're "comfortable" with this woman choosing either brand of your meddling intolerant religion. How about respecting her enough to make her own choice. If she wants to leave her religion, I'm sure she's perfectly capable of doing it on her own.
You, on the other hand, have definitely "gone overboard' on the Christian "stuff."

Did she tell you guys that she wants to be a Christian? or are you just trying to convert her. Just becasue she is not big with the "Islam" stuff doesn't mean she isn't happy with her religion. 'm a Christian and don't go to church, only time I go is to attend a wedding or baptism and what not, I would not change my religion for anyone. And another thing it's non of your business who she wants to date perhaps she doesn't want a nice Christian man to look after her, maybe she want a muslim like herself, have you asked what her preferance is!!!

respect her choice of religion.
How dare you think that the only way she can be happy is to believe the same things you do. As you can see she is an educated woman and knows what she wants in this life. She will find a man to marry that is MUSLIM and he will take care of her better than any other man ever could.
Open your mind

Well I am a Muslim and at best I will not encourage her to convert but if she wishes to convert , that is her perrogative. She just need to denounce her reilgion and go for civil marriage,
So if she thinks she wanted to marry that christian man, its best she follows her husband to be religion thus it will lessen future conflict but as advise again, no muslim is allowed to marry other than another muslim. Let her decide for herself. God bless her.

Islam is not "stuff" it is a major world religion, and shares a common lineage with both Judaeism and Christianity, it is ethinocentric at best and racist at worst to think that you must save her from her religion and culture. I suggest that you actually study and learn of her culture and religion before even thinking of disscusing the topic of conversion. If she delcines you offer drop it then and there. you can lose your freind, and open yourself up to legal action if you preach to a co-worker.

Well, actually, if you're wanting her to marry a Christian and thinking that she would need to convert to Chistianity for that reason; then, I'd say - don't bother! Because, according to Islam, a Christian and Muslim do not need to convert to get married to each other!
Because they are people of the Book!?!?
All the best!
Cheers!

okay, okay, okay. you do realize that catholicism and christian are two completely diff. things dont you? catholics worship Mary, and they ask forgiveness from everyone but god. also im pretty sure, from what you said, that that chick is just converting so shes got a man to take care of her. if people dont convert because they LOVE god so much that they could watch the person they love the most (discluding god) tortured without denouncing His name, then they aren't christains (or catholics).
also converting is not like this whole big prosses. all she has to do is denounce her religion and talk to god. no one else. unless shes going to be catholic. they're so uptight about everything. another reason our convertion rates have gone down (people always assume catholics are christains and vice versa. tisk tisk)
