Proof that Islam can co-exist with other faiths very easily.
In Islam, Muslim men can marry Christian or Jewish women and they are under no compulsion to EVER change their faith.
Even to this day the wife of Yasir Arafat has kept her Christian religion.
We know Islam can bring peace between the three Abrahamic faiths since Muslims ruled Jerusalem for over 1,000 years and all three faiths worshipped together and all religious buildings were protected as per Islamic Shariah.

To answer manhattan girls question
According to sacred law a Muslim man can marry a women who is a Christan or Jew and or sabeans (believers in the Prophet Yahya - there are some of these in Iraq). A Muslim women can only marry a Muslim man. Why? This seems like its wrong doesn't it?
Please let me explain.A Muslim man has to respect the religion of his non Muslim wife, he believes in her Prophet, Moses, Jesus and Yahya (upon them all peace). He respects her book and he has to by sacred law to pay for her daily needs: food, housing etc.
A non-Muslim man on other hand doesn't believe in her Prophet or religion. So he could cause her to loss in her religious action. For example he might prevent her fasting because he doesn't like it or he might stop her praying. He may also refuse to pay for any of her daily needs, he not obliged to do this.
So the reason here is, that the non-Muslim man cannot fulfil her rights either worldly or religiously. If he did then he would be Muslim. This is in order to protect the woman from harm.
Does this make sense, please ask me to clarify if you do not understand

I haven't studied Islam so I don't know what their teachings are on the matter. I do however know several English men who are married to Thai Muslim women in the Southwest of Thailand. They have been given the choice by their wives of changing to Islam or leaving. Two have already left.

yet its not practised in malaysia and other muslim countries. yes this is correct and shld be so for other religions too. its society, community and family pressure that forces one to convert to the other religion. its not in the original religious doctrines which no longer exist as it has been changed many times by the clergy who are mainly men! religion is a personal thing between the individual and god. so it shld stay that way. we have to bring up our children to know and understand all religions and let them decide which they want to adopt. there shldnt be any force / compulsion

The only restriction I know of in Christianity is that if a Roman Catholic marries a non-Catholic, the children must be brought up as Catholics.

it incredibly is humorous you communicate approximately lies. The Koran condones taqiya, mendacity to infidels to set them up for conquest. The Bible says tell the actuality, continuously. So why the taqiya? Jihadding on YA?

It's true for civil marriages. Not for religious ones.

Christians don't have to change, but the Bible warns against this.
