Religion does not say donot love rather most of the religions in this world tell us to love every one even animals and plants. Religion is a belief and if we love someone it should not come in between. If we love some one we should not ask him or her to change faith and religion and this way it will not create any problem.
For example say a muslim boy loves a hindu female and wants to marry her but will ask her to become a muslim first. WHY? If you love her you should adopt her as she is and not try to change her faith and belief. Here religion comes in between and this is certainly not good.
All religions in this world tell us to love and we should never try to change anyonce belief and change the religion.

Religion is all about LOVE and tolerance! U can't have one without the other. It may become a problem because people make it a issue- couples may clash because different beliefs in values, morals, eating habits and the raising of kids. When u marry u do so because of love but it is important 2 marry someone on the same page as u and u guys have several ideas u share 2gether in order 2 make it work. 2 much conflict r different interests can destroy a marriage. If we had more tolerance and patience 4 each other it's quite possible LOVE can conquer all including religion.

What is religion?
Christ preached bortherhood, not christianity. Vedas preach about duties (dharma) and deeds (karma), about humanity and harmony in mankind; not hinduism. Quran preaches a way of life, not islam. The term islam in quran is used for a perfect set of humanitarian ethics, and the term Mussalman is used for the person who follows these ethics. Lord Buddha preached to be a way of life so that one can be content with whatever he gets, not buddhism.
Religion is a categorization made by us. It's it's not basically the preachings getting into the way of love, but our own traits.
As far as inter religious marriages are concerned, did you know that india has a higher percentage of inter religious marriages. Look at the other countries, specially the non-asian countries. They demand religious conversion before such marriages, while in India most the times, these conditions are not laid.
I'm a hindu. Two of my cousins are married to muslims. A good number of my friends have gone for inter-religious and inter-caste marriages.
All the best...

Religion should not get in the way of love, but neither should "falling in love" or "love at first sight" get in the way of love. When you want to form a loving, permanent partnership in order to start a family, you need both your feelings and your reasoning. Both are important. Now, if religion is important to both of you, or even one of you, important enough to direct your life, and you feel it is the source of your ability to love, then you would find it unwise to marry somebody who does not share the same religious convictions as you do.
On the other hand, if religion is just a handed down tradition for you, something nice ot go along with when convenient, then by all means, don't let religion get in the way of marriage. Be careful, though, that you understand very well your partner's culture.

Back to the old question : "And just what do you mean by 'love'?" .
My religion IS love. I don't want to marry you but I do want the best for you. Is that love or isn't it?
As it relates to Hindus and Muslims, would a Muslim man encourage a Hindu girl to cook and EAT beef, the flesh of an animal that she holds in reverence?

Yes. People who are so deeply religious that they cannot give up their religion should give up their religion first before they want to fall in love with a person of another religion and marry him/her. Those who do not believe that God of all religions is one and the same, should not marry persons from a religion different from their own.
Love is the only religion for those who love each other and marry.

well, it wasn't obvious to me that it was directed as an Asian thing but anyway....
Some religions look down on an inter-religious marriage.
I, however, share different beliefs than my fiance and we LEARN from eachother. We have great intellectual conversations and plan to raise our children (SOME day children, we don't have any now) as open minded towards religion as we can but with the same fundemental beliefs that we were both raised with.
True love has no boundries, even religion.

If you mean love culminating in marriage, then yes religion gets in the way. Because it is a social obligation. If not cotamplating marriage then religion does not come in the way.

If religion is the main culprit causing separation of love....then tahts no loveat all! Love transcends all cultures, all religions, all individual differences and racial discriminations. Love has no borders, no boundaries, no countries and flags to live and die for, it believes in the being ....one universe, one mankind, ...one country,one religion.....its only a feeling, an energy, a spirit, that does not identify the bonds created by human beings...the man-made bonds,boundaries, religion, customs and traditions! It speaks one language.....the throbbing of the heart, and worships only one philosophy....that of love....."Live n let live"philosophy.

The answer is simple. If religion gets in the way of love, it is a fact. "Should" is not a relevant question. What is relevant is the doctrine that prevents people of different religions from intermarrying or raising children. People can abandon their religions but the religions have still got in the way.
