Well it depends if she wants to get married in a mosque then yes you are going to have to convert.  The Islamic faith forbids outsiders from taking an Islamic women into his life.  In fact the outcome for her is not good, and you are going to have to realize this.  This is considered a taboo, and the minimum that could happen to her is that she will be shunned in her faith.  The worst that could happen to her is her family could turn their backs on her.  You have picked a really tough faith to marry into, and if you love her with all of your heart I would be open to the idea of converting.  Make it easy on her, and her family if they are really devout in their faith.  If they are liberal with their faith you may be in the clear, but I would talk to her more about how serious is the faith of Islam is in her life. \n\n                 good luck on this one you're gonna need it!

My sister, please read carefully because I am an Egyptian ex-Muslim and Islam is my nightmare. Conversion is the most terrible thing for your future. You will not be able to change your religion and if you try you will be abused and threatened like you never dreamed. Killing ex-Muslims is an Islamic law. Ex-Muslims who cannot be killed are beaten, imprisoned, kidnapped, put on hit lists, or spurned by their family and friends. Most of them keep their Islamic names and religion. I must keep mine after what my parents did to me. Your rights as a Muslim woman will be very different and you will not be able to marry a non-Muslim. Ex-Muslims are in danger and this is why the world’s biggest anti-Islamic group is led not by Westerners or Zionists but ex-Muslims. You know little about Islam and you will learn good things as well as things that will shock you.  Please write me at bringdowntoearth@yahoo.com if you have questions about this. \n\n*I am a peaceful and respectful person and I have many Muslim friends. No offence. These are all facts.

It would be really helpful in answering to know where the woman is, as the world is a big and varied place.\n\nThe International convention on human rights enshrines freedom of religion - which means that all countries should allow people freedom to worship or not worship as they please, including changing their religion. Enforcing it is left up to individual governments though.\n\nPersecution for changing your religion is grounds for claiming asylum in Europe or North America, among othrs - the problem is getting the immigration authorities to believe that someone would really be at risk, that the authorities of the home country wouldn't protect the convert, and that they hadn't just made up the story in order to get asylum. In UK at least, the authorities seem programmed to disbelieve any claim not backed by strong evidence.\n\nEven in the West, a woman can be at risk from her family and community for changing religion or otherwise "disrespecting" and "dishonouring" her family. This does not only apply to Muslims. \n\nPeople in this situation need sensitive help, rather than people using them to score points against a religion. \n\nIn Islam, people can be killed for turning away from Islam. In practice, even in Iran, what people do privately is up to them, but converting publicly and evangelising would get you into serious problems; and if a woman's family chose to take their own measures, even if that was against the law, it's unlikely that the authorities would help he at all.\n\nMuslims are often criticised unjustly, but this aspect of it is hard to defend; in fact many Muslims do not agree with killing "apostates", even though the rulings on it seem unambiguous.\n\nBest wishes to the woman concerned, she needs to be careful and given understanding and all support.

What are the requirements of a Non-Muslim who wishes to convert? \nEvery person is born a Muslim because we are all created by God. Therefore, a preferred term would be reversion rather than conversion. A non-Muslim becomes a Muslim when he believes in his heart : "There is no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Messenger" Hence, belief in the Unity and Oneness of God and that Muhammad is his Messenger makes one a Muslim at heart. Recommended steps: \n\nOfficially convert by pronouncing the shahadah (pledge of conviction of faith) in Arabic thus: "Ash HaduAllaa Ilaaha Il-lallaah Wa Ash Hadu Anna Muhammadar Rasullulah" which means "I bear Witness that there is no deity but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad if His Messenger". The pledge is to be taken in front of at least two adult Muslim witnesses. \nIt is recommended that he/she take a Muslim name \nIt is recommended that he/she take up a basic course on Islam (if he/she hasn't already) and keep the company of other Muslims \nIs it compulsory for a Non-Muslim man to be circumcised upon conversion? \nA boy who has not attained puberty must be circumcised when his family converts to Islam. Circumcision is optional for a man above the age of puberty. But he who opts not to be circumcised should regularly clean the area underneath the foreskin of his penis because, in Islam, cleanliness of the body is obligatory for performing prayers. \n \n\nWhy is adopting a Muslim name so important upon conversion? \nTwo important reasons are given below, but otherwise, adopting a Muslim name is not necessary. \n\nFor the sake of identification as a Muslim \nWhen a Muslim wants to enter Makkah and Madinah to perform Hajj or Umrah, he has to produce documents to show that he is a Muslim as Non-Muslims are not allowed to enter these cities. \nCan reverts retain their previous names? \nYes he/she certainly can do so. Here are examples of names of people who have converted: \n\nHassan Guy Eaton previously known as Guy Eaton, Ruke Aldeen Smith, Aisha Gouverneur, Abdel Rashid Skinner, Ahmed Holt, Murad Aldeen, Ibrahim Hewitt, Ahmad Bullock, Ahmed Thomson, Jodi Anway, Mohammadzadeh, Susan Elsayyad, Jamilah Kolocotronis Jitmoud\n\nHow Long Does it Take for a Convert to be a full-fledged Muslim? \nA person becomes a Muslim upon pronouncing the shahadah in front of two adult Muslim witnesses. A Muslim has to do the daily prayers, fast in Ramadan and apply the teachings of Islam in his daily life. But if a revert is unable to do all the prayers immediately after his conversion, he should try to do those he could. However, he should aim to be a practicing Muslim as soon as possible in order not to miss out in the race to accumulate blessings.\n\ngood muslim names\nmostly arabic or persian but i think u can pick anything.\n\n'Abal - Wild rose\nAbia - Great\n'Abidah, Abida - Worshipper\n'Abir, Abeer - Fragrance, perfume\n'Ablah, Abla', Ablaa - Perfectly formed\nAbra - Example, lesson\nAbrar - Devoted to God\nA'dab, Aadab - Hope and need\nAdara - Virgin\n'Adawiyah - Summer plant\nAdiba - Well-mannered, cultured, polite; writer\n'Adilah, Adila, Adeela - Equal, just, honest\n'Adn - Paradise\n'Afaf - Chaste, virtuous, decent, pure\n'Afifah - Chaste, modest\nAfnan - Tree branches or twigs\n'Afra', Afraa - White\nAfrah - Celebrations, festivals\nAfya - Shadows\n'Ahd - Pledge, commitment, delegation\nAhlam - Witty, imaginative; one who has pleasant dreams\n'A'idah, Aida - Visiting, returning; reward\nAin - Eye, thus "precious"\nAini - Spring, flower, source, choice\n'A'ishah, Aisha, Ayishah - Living, prosperous; youngest wife of the Prophet\nAkilah - Intelligent, logical, one who reasons\nAla', Aalaa - Signs of Allah\nAlhena - A ring; (A star in the constellation Gemini)\nAlima - Wise\nAlimah - Skilled in music or dance\n'Aliyah, Aliyyah, Alia, A'lia - Exaulted, elev

It depends who THE PEOPLE are.If you mean everyone the world or England as a whole then no I don't think so.If you mean Muslims then definitely NO labour are to scared to put sanctions on any culture but christian because they are so P.C the British  are the most accepting culture of differences for example we don't ban hi-jabs like Holland,or France who have banned them in schools.personally I believe they are degrading to women like they are second class citizens but that's my opinion who am i to force that on anyone, the same way certain sects of Muslims feel they can tell me what to think and feel by killing innocent people.  Muslims or any other religion , no body has the right including the labour government to kill for belief which are not the same as there own.

my answer is none and none it might make an interesting change if anyone from even a different town came here. Why leave England to get away from foreign people ,surely other countries are full of them ? !!!

I doubt it as Islam is such a peaceful religion as British Muslims tell us all the time.\n\nThe politicians tell us all how we have this amazing multicultural society whilst all the while minorities and majority whites seal themselves into communities exclusively filled with the same kind of people as they are. Thinking insular thoughts and suspecting the other communities until it all erupts in violence sooner or later.

if she accepts, GO AND MARRY HERE, what is the problem,,??she does not have to convert,,, at all (marriage for Muslims is a contract without religious ceremony\n\nPeople People, it is allowed for muslims to get married to a christian or Jew  without the need to convert,, This is fact, if any muslim  says different either he is lying or does not know anything about his religion  (Study what u claim u belong to, before asking)

Like all immigrant or race or ethnic groups, muslims bring something to the party which enhances life for everyone within the UK.\n\nOne rotten apple does not spoil the cider! As a successful European multicultural society, our diversity is our economic strength, as is the case in the good ol' USA (a land built by immigrants).  \n\nUnfortunately the lack of tolerance and understanding between ALL different communities has allowed a situation where the muslim population is seen as the 'scapegoats'.\n\n2nd and 3rd generation muslims (who are effectively British) feel as if they no longer have a voice within contemporary British society. This situation lends itself to feeding the radical element of Islam which corrupts the muslim youth of the UK.\n\nTo answer your question, the UK authorities are well aware of the undesirable individuals within the British muslim community and will only deport/imprison those involved in what we call in Britain, 'Treason' (still punishable by death in UK).\n\nOur espionage is second to none, and the political landscape of our country may change from time to time but certain traits of British life remain the same. We have seen it all before, many times. Deportation of Muslims is not necessary!

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. :)

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

Yes of course it is, religion is everyone personal rights and NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO FORCE YOU TO CHOOSE YOUR RELIGION. (but the Muslims won't think so, do you watch the news lately?, they almost execute someone because he convert). What's important is : \n1. Don't just leave Islam and convert to Christianity cause Arabs is bad and Christian organizations is good. They just the people, not the religion itself. An Atheist or even a Satanic believers can do good deeds to you while your fellow Muslims can trash you. Try to understand that concept.\n2. You have to learn Christianity first, different religion also entitled you different rules and obligations. Are you ready to do that and live the way of Jesus?

i didn't learn about islam on yahoo. i learned about islam from the actions of the followers of islam.. from the state of the countries that are majority muslim. I would rather die than convert to islam or live under backwards islamic laws. \nIslam MUST reform.\none can cleary see that most majority muslim countries are uneducated, poor, have a high percentage of illiteracy, are lacking basic freedoms of religion, press, voting, are dictatorships.
