God question because marriage is affect more than two people, it affects there families as well.
Marriage of different faiths present difficulties. How will children be raised? And please don't say both.
I personally know because my extended family has two different beliefs. I was raised in one and exposed to the other. In the end I those one, not the one I was raised in.
This type of marriage will have conflict everyday of there lives. Parents with children. Parents with parents.

My answer will depend on culture.
Are the Muslim and the Christian from the same country? It is a very different thing if (for example) a Malaysian Christian marries a Malaysian Muslim, than if (for example) an American Christian marries an Iranian Muslim.
The cultural gap will make or break the marriage more than the religious gap would.
The impact of religion will depend on how pious the people are. A devout Muslim would insist that the children be raised Muslim, and a devout Christian might insist on a Christian home environment.
I think the marriage would be challenging.

I think it depends on the couple.But alot of people don't think that religion is going to be a problem until children come along.If this pertains to a Muslim woman then I say no.Bad idea. I have Known Muslim men who married Christian Women .Some have been good marriages, but more have ended in divorce.If a Muslim man follows his religion he may begin to fear for his wife's soul eventually.That will lead to issues of conversion.Like I said it depends on the couple.

No I don't care. Why should you care if they are not married to you. Yes I do know someone at my work who is a driver and is married to a muslim woman. From what he tells me they both agree on what would be the best way of raising the children, which is a mutualization of their religion. But seriously why should this matter? I am an athiest so it really doesn't matter to me.

According to Qur'an,God spoke that muslim man is for muslim woman and muslim woman is for muslim man..By this regulation the muslim man wqho will marrying christian woman should convert her religion before they got married.In the era of Muhammad pbuh a muslim man could marry a christian or jewish woman as a transition period and in that era christianity and jewish religion followers were still based on the genuine holy books given by God. The related muslim man as the leader of a family should guide his wife into islamic religion.But now a non muslim woman and non muslim man should convert her/his religion to Islam before she/he wants to marry with muslim man or muslim woman.
So the kids they raised will become muslim too automatically.
In this situation they will have a good,calm,peace,love and respect each other and happy family..and the most important they will be blessed by God.

According to the quran:
A Muslim guy can marry a woman who is Jewish or christian, but she must be a virgin.
That only goes for men.
A muslim woman can only marry a muslim man.
that being said: I think Religion is retarded (I believe in god...but not man...and all religions are from man), and my kids are not going to be force fed any of that goobly ****. If the religion is soooo perfect, they wold choose it on their own, right?

muslim can only marry muslim...
for example...if a muslim wish to marry a non-muslim, the non-muslim have to convert to Islam....
however there is no force to convert Islan but still a muslim can only marry a muslimah...and muslimah can only marry a muslim...

Why not? In the south of Spain this situation happens quite often. The kids are raised to believe in God and they are teached both religions as two different ways to reach God.
I'm christian and I married an atheist. We don't force our children to believe. We teach both teories and leave them free to decide what they want to believe.

Fundamentalists say, No!
God (Allah), knows what dwells within the heart of man.
God (Allah) is the only Judge concerning matters of the heart within man!
A human must make the decision and learn to live with the decision.
This might be a good question for, Solomon!

I can not see the problem.
As to their future religion, it is up for them to decide.
In some families, the boys take the fathers religion, whilst the girls take the mothers. in others they follow one of the parent's relgion, if any.
Chritistianity itself has enough problems between sects.
