First, let me tell you something about my past that should help you out.\n\nAbout 15 yrs ago I converted from Christianity to Wiccan.  Yes, a religion that most other religions totally hate.  My family was STRONG catholics and they were expecting me to become a priest since I knew the religion well.\n\nI became very scared of what everyone would think that I kept it a secret for about 4 years.  One day, when me and my mother was debating an issue it just slipped out.  This caused a fight.  I tried to explain the truth behind my religion, but she would not listen.  \n\nFor about 6-9 months after that the only time we talked we were fighting over religion until one day I decided I don't need to justify my religion to anybody.  She would bring it up and I would either say, "We will agree to disagree" or I would change subjects. After about a month if that of doing that we never fought about it again.\n\nMy advice to you is first let them know.  If you don't it will either cause tention as mine did until it came out or it will spill out and you will feal like you have to defend yourselfs.\n\nAfter telling her parents then don't try to justify yourselves.  You don't need to and it will only cause fights.\n\nTo finish my story me and my family got along great and still do even though a couple years after that I changed my religion again and am still today in that same religion and always will be.

--->Is it impossible to get an actual answer?<---\n\nYes actually because you are overlaying a Christian/Western understanding of justification/salvation onto a foreign system.  You cannot do that!  The question is not "are you saved" for a Muslim but rather "are you Muslim?" and "are you being obedient to the Qu'ran/the will of Allah?"\n\nThere is really no need to think about "forgiveness" or being forgiven, just about being Muslim.\n\nThat is why the appeals of Protestant Christianity (which is the "are you forgiven" / "are you saved"....non-Protestant Christians don't ask the questions that way) tend not to work, because there is nothing to be forgiven about if you have. submitted to Islam.  The whole question just doesn't make sense and can be viewed as insulting to Muslims.\n\nYou have to find a different approach if you want to make any headway in a discussion with Muslims over Christianity vs. Islam.

A child is usually the religion that the mother is.And the children won't be accepted as jewish unless the mother is.They could convert, though.But yes, a choice will need to be made.Or do what I do.Give my son back ground on every religion and let him choose when he's older.

There are a large number of people who have converted (or reverted as it's refered to by Islam), it is one of the fastest growing faiths presently.  Faith is something that is very personal, and specific to the individual.  If they feel that Christianity isn't the right mode to connect with their spirituality, then they most certainly should go forward and look for one that helps them connect better.  It's very easy to be disenchanted with Christianity right now, and Islam is presented as an alternative.  Do I think they are crazy, no.  It's not my place to call anyone crazy for their beliefs.  Everyone is entitled to do what gives them peace, regardless of my personal view of that thing.

Remain Christian.\nKeep your beliefs. \nQuestion your friends friendship. \n\nHoney, if she beliefs you are WRONG for that. Then she is also "half christian". Because as a Christian, you are taught a sin is a sin. Regardless. Isn't it a sin to cast judgment on someone else?

You are talking about two different religions, Islam and Christianity ... I know it's confusing, would be so nice if everyone could just accept the other for who they are and live together huh?

No, You shouldn't be a muslim unless you are totaly sure that this is what you really want, else you would be Monafek(pretender).\nIslam rules say that you must be convinced, mind and heart by your religion before following it, if you are not convinced, don`t follow it at all.\nAs for other religions being condemned to hell, this is not true. Islam says "there is no difference whatspever between one person and the other except how virtuious each one is" and it didn't necissate a religion, just virtue. Also islam say "Religion is how to deal not how to pray" which means that dealing with others nicly and in a just manner is the important thing . And about other religions it says"All prophets are brothers, and their light comes from the same source." it also says" We are all from adam, and adam is but a handfull of dust, only the good deeds remain"\n\nAbout christians it says"And no one will be closer and dearer to the muslims you than those who say'we are true christians' for amongst them there are priests and saints and people who dedicate their lives to Goodness" .\n\nAnd about talking to people about joining islam" Smile and talk to them with the manner they prefer best, and don't be rude or thick at heart else they yould never listen"\n\nAnd as for freedom of choosing one's religion"To each his faith, they have theirs and you have yours and only the mercifull God can judge amongst them"\n\nI hope I answered your question.

The guy should not be shoving the religion down your throat.  It is up to you to convert when and if you ever are ready. It's not a requirement because Muslim men are able to marry women of the book (ie, Christian, Jew, etc), but if you want to have children in the future, it will become an issue because Muslims who marry outside the religion want their children to be raised Muslim.  I will tell you that being married to a Muslim is difficult, just as it may be with any man of any race or religion, but there are so many more rules and a lot of jealousy and insecurity for no apparent reason.  Best of luck to you. :)

I think he means if the mom is a Muslim and the kids go with the mother, if the parents get divorced.\n\nThen they become Muslim!?

If you are a christian, then I would say that that is not good.  You need to be in some serious prayer, b4 you cross the line.  Islam does not believe in the divinity of Jesus and it clearly states in the bible that the only way to the Father is through the Son.

Well, there are lots of factors to consider.  Do you both follow your chosen religions very very faithfully?.... like, to the exact letter of the "law"?\n\nDo you have any idea if the other person's beliefs are compatable with what your house of worship teaches?\n\nHow will your family accept or reject this person?  How about your larger social circle.... friends and business colleagues (for when you are older ok).\n\nSit down and talk to your Priest, pastor, rabbi, Mullah or whatever person leads your faith, and ask their insights.

How could Muslims become Muslims if they're already Muslims?\n\nOf course I have doubts.  You're presenting this "information" to us without citing even ONE source.  And even if you DO get around to citing one, it better be credible or it'll mean just as much as no source at all.

Someone has to earn trust, you don't just give it blindly.  If it is a muslim that I have known and have earned my trust then yes, otherwise, no.

No. According to Islam, a person has the right to choose his religion. He can switch to any religion he or she want.
