Hi, I am a christian woman who has fallen for a good friend that is Muslim. Never in a million years did I think that this could happen to me. He is one of the best people I know and I truly love him. He does not know this yet, because I have not decided what I am going to do. I know that he has feelings for me as well. Does anyone have any experiences with this type of situation?

I would never ask him to convert and he has told me that he would marry a woman of a different religion as long as she felt strongly about her faith and sis not question it. I don't know if we would have children or not. I have two from a previous relationship. I am also about 10 years older than him.

Religion is a man-made entity and is imposed by many rules, regulations and restrictions. Love has no bounds. Follow your heart and have faith that whatever God 's plans are for your life will come to pass.

In the end love is all that matters.I have many friends who are from mixed religious families.My uncle Chris is a practising Catholic and his wife is Hindu.They have a beautiful daughter.My friend Jack is a christian and his wife is a practising jew.These marriages work because they dont judge each others religious beliefs.Just remember Christians and Muslims still pray to the same God.We are all children of Abraham.

Don't change your religion just for love. Talk to him about whether you can be together and still practice your own religion.
I am not sure, but I think you need to study about his religion, before you even consider this situation. Women are considered differently in the Muslim religion, as I understand it.

Love is love, and does not follow bounds of religion. You can either choose to squander this chance due to closedmindedness about religion, or you can go ahead and be happy with him despite it all.
People are people, no matter what religion. Do not look at this man differently on the basis of his faith.

feed him pork w/out him knowing it and tell him after he's done eating..... I kid, I kid
this is a tough one. my former coworker is muslim and his wife is christian. do you want to convert? does he want you to convert? are you ok with each other's religion? what about the family? these are some of the things you'll need to think about and talk about with him if you decide to pursue this relationship. good luck

Religion should not matter. If you like him then you'll put aside that difference and come to a compromise.
My ex was Catholic.
