If you are not very religious, then you are hardly a Muslim. You associated with a Christian woman. Quran tells you not to associate with unbelievers.

"Let not the believers Take for friends or helpers Unbelievers rather than believers: if any do that, in nothing will there be help from Allah: except by way of precaution, that ye may Guard yourselves from them. But Allah cautions you (To remember) Himself; for the final goal is to Allah." Quaran 3.28

However, it is a good ploy to marry an unsuspecting Christian woman.

I was raised as a muslim and have faith in Islam. My mother and I moved to the United States when I was little. We lived in the "bible belt" they call it. In other words in the South East part of the United States. I grew up with christianity all over me. My mother not once let me be disrespectful towards christians and or Christianity. I married a Christian woman. She has no problem with me being a muslim. I do have to say I am not very religious. I act more often then actually practice Islam. I told her I will not push my religion on our children. I dont believe in force feeding children any religion. For the simple fact they just follow and don't really understand religion because of how complex it is. Frankly, I dont think kids really care about religion lol. They will be exposed to Christianity because of their environment. I have absolutely no problem with that. I have issues with my faith. I simply can not look in to my childs eye and lie to them about this religion is right and there is a God, because I simply am not sure. If they want to go to church with my inlaws and my wife that is perfectly fine. My main goal is to protect them from manipulation as a child and when they are mature and intelligent enough they can make their own decision on their faith. Of course If they ask me about my faith i will give them knowledge I have of Islam. But I will never force them to be muslim, jew, or a christian. Children are already sin free and pure. They dont have to know about any religion or God. Until they become adults and ignorance wont be an excuse anymore. Do I relate to any parents that is reading this? I would love your input.

You're the kind of person I'm speaking about when I say Islam is a religion of peace and mostly good, normal, balanced people.

Hello everyone..
I would like to ask a question.
Im a christian but I am in love with a muslim men..
However we came across something which is blocking us from getting married and its very serious as we are even thinking of breaking up because we cannot compromise..
Both of us have our own religion which is fine but when it comes to our children, I would like them to be christian and my boyfriend is saying they must be muslims as per his religion. In islam if the children doesnt follow father's religion or the father doesnt teach them Islam, everyone will be punished.. However I cannot let my children to be muslim.. is there anything in the bible about interfaith marriage and the children's beliefs?

The Bible says not to be unequally yoked with a non-believer. You may not think it will be an issue, but it will become a major issue in the long run, particularly as your children get older. At the moment, you are in the infatuation stage, but real love comes after years of getting to know each other when it becomes a choice to love the person.

The notion that a non-Muslim should be able to decide who is or is not a true Muslim is absurd.

I don't know, I would expect certain things like belief in God, Muhammad and the Qur'an. I think 'minimal expectations' as such should be allowed. I'd mostly agree with you though.

Well that's the whole point..
Sincere Christians are not "unbelievers", they are "people of the book"
That is why a Muslim man may marry a Christian woman.

You might ask why a Muslim woman cannot marry a Christian man? Well she can .. if he can convince her family that he is sincere :)
..it would normally be expected that he would acknowledge the truth of Islam

Depends on the context. A Christian believes in the Abrahamic God. If they insist that Allah is a 'different god', then maybe..

Right. So just being 'ahle-kitab' is not sufficient. One has to accept Allah as God and Mohammad as his last messenger. That means the person has to change his belief. This falsifies your statement that Muslims and Christians can intermarry.

Are you referring to Christian men, or Christian women?

I know of Muslim women who have married Christian men. They declared that they accepted Islam ie. they bore witness that they believed that it was true
It doesn't mean that they pray 5 times a day or even go to the mosque on a friday
..it depends on the family of the bride, really

Oh .. and somebody who witnesses Islam to be true does not necessarily make their previous faith null & void.
A Muslim believes in Jesus, Moses, Abraham, peace be with them. The "son of God" thing is not really understood by a lot of Christians, in any case.
Furthermore, some Christian denominations already believe in the unity of God
