1st of all i am catholic and the girl i like is half Lebanese and half American. Her dad is the Arab and her mom is the American. Would this make her a Musilim or a Christian? I would ask her but i think that is a weird question to ask a girl i might ask out.

Many Lebanese people are Orthodox Christians, or Maronite Catholics. Others are Muslims. I would say there is a good chance she is Christian, but she could be anything or nothing for that matter. I don't think it would be offensive to ask her.

You can not predict from her parents nationalities. Being an arab doesn't mean that her dad is muslim especially in case of lebanon which is one of the most religously diverse arab countries and the same for her mother being american. Even if you are certain about the faiths of her parents you can not assume hers because there is a chance she doesn't believe in any of their faiths.
Conclusion, don't stereotype! just ask her if you want discuss it with her or forget about it!

A lot of Lebanese people are Orthodox Christians. Why don't you just ask? Tell her, "I'm Catholic, are you affiliated with a religion?" When she answers, show an interest............unless she doesn't want to talk about it, then you should leave it alone.

I have a freind(in India)His father was a Muslim-mother a Christian- At young age the Doctor Father was dominant.he gave a muslim name to his only son-the father was very fond of the son.When the boy became ready for marriage,mother wanted the son to marry a Christian girl and the Church insisted the boy should become achristian, which the father did not like.-he called me to advice his son-Mother put forth her views to me(I am a Hindu)I erfused to interfere.The boy listened to mother,became achristian and married that girl and brought up their children also as christians.Another dearest friend of mine(Muslim) married a Hindu woman and their only son was brought up as a Hindu and married a hindu girl and their Children are also Hindus

There's no way to tell just from her ethnicity and nationality. When the time comes, it is okay to ask someone what religion they are (if any.) For all you know, she could be a Buddhist.

Lebanon has Christian, Muslim, Druze, and probably many others I'm not aware of.

It depends on what Religion she professes. Her mother might be Muslim. Her father might not be Muslim. Try discussing heritage(yours then hers)

This would make her, (just like everyone else) a person with free will, able to make her own choices.

Ask her full name.
A muslim usually has a 'binte' (daughter of) father's name.
A christian don't.
