Christians by and large do not punish people for converting to another religion; they just become disheartened and realize that the person probably wasn't really a born-again Christian. In Muslim societies however, people are brutally punished and sometimes even murdered from converting to Christianity. One of the greatest sins in Islam is denouncing Allah and changing their religion.\n\n Islam is a religion of wickedness.

I think the first two people who answered your question and mamar give you the reasons people convert to Islam.  They hate the God of Christianity, they are ignorant of the history of Muhammed, and they find ways to convince themselves that being a murderer and pedophile was actually morally OK.

I am afraid you will not find good data on this. In many countries you are forced to be islamic. If you don't convert you will be killed. Hear of Dar fur? This is not across the board but it is huge. Many people are disowned by their families if they leave. Here is a link to one guy I know left Isam.

One reason I converted to Islam is because that I couldn't believe that a human being could be god. That is I could not beleive that Jesus was god. There are other reasons too.  Islam is good to me.\n\nLike any other religion we have people that say that they are Muslim, but don't follow the teachings and give Islam a bad name. One example in Christianity is the KKK, I personally don't believe that people in the KKK are true Christians. The same goes with Terriorist in Islam, they don't follow the teachings correctly.

Consider your choices: One of you have to convert to the other religion or see if there are any civil ceremonies instead of a religious one.\n\nGood luck, congrats

Reading the all these "Yes" posted in response to the question as if it was "still" a granted freedom to change or leave Islam is evidence that people often don't understand that religions are not all the same...\n\nLeaving Islam is Apostasy. It is not "considered" IT IS A CRIME as quoted in all aspect of Islamic scriptures and legislatures in or outside of Islamic countries.\n\nIf a member of you family turns his back to Islam it brings shame to reletatives.\nHonor crimes are endorsed in the Koran, which explains the killings or at least the mistreatment of people who leave Islam even today.\n\nThe Koran is very very very clear and explicit, you do not need to be a scholar to figure out that leaving Islam puts you in a position where you become less than a slave. A muslim may not focus on those passages yet a more fondamentalist will use the same scriptural autority to apply this inhuman blackmail.\n\nHere are the quotes from Islamic scriptures:\nAnd do get a Koran yourself, read in your living room on your own. \n\nI am not quoting everything about Apostasy (Leaving islam) but they should make you understand why a peaceful Muslim may feel tremendous termoil when faced to choose between his heart and the situation of someone leaving the religion...\n\nQuotes:\n\n----------------\n\n"Those who blasphemed and back away from the ways of Allah and die as blasphemers, Allah shall not forgive them." Suratan Nisa', Ayah 48\n\n"Kill whoever changes his religion," Hadith\n\n"Kill those who believe in many gods" (Sura al-Tawba 9:5)\n\n\nHere this is not even the Pakistani constitution:\n\n"If a Muslim is found guilty of the crime of apostasy, either through words or through actions, he will be asked to repent during a three day period. If he has not repented within this time limit, he will be sentenced to death as an apostate and his property will be seized by the Revenue office. Every Muslim who refuses to pray will be asked to comply with the obligation to pray within the prescribed time limit. If he persists in his refusal, he will be punished by death." \n           - Article 306 of the Mauritanian Constitution\n\n---------------------------\n\n\nYES you can be killed for leaving Islam...\n\nEven here in America, many who leave the religion must often move to another location in order to protect the wellbeing of their family and the future of their children. Many leave without mentioning it to anyone so that there is no repercussions about it.\n\nIt is so amazing to take our civil right for granted and express such a naive YES to this question. \n\nThink about the reactions to the cartoons, will you trust someone practicing Islam to tell you it is a religion of tolerance or will you trust how they act and walk their talk ...\n\nGo ! read the Koran, wake up and see what this religion is all about.

Yes only if you convert into Islam.Don't pretend that you are Muslim if you don't mean it and don't become a Muslim just because you want to marry a Muslim girl. You should embrace Islam only when you are ready and I truly hope that you do that with honesty.\n\nDon't marry your girlfriend if you are not a true Muslim yet. You will get a lot of troubles then. I hope your heart will open one day to accept and practise the real Islam before you marry a Muslim girl. May God bless you.

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.

For Muslims? yes\n\nWill she convert to your religion to prove her love? \n\nDoes not look like it otherwise you would not been asking this question.\n\nSo she keeps her religion first and you secondary .\n\nWhy she does not open her mind ? and convert to your religion?\n\nAll Muslims are going to tell you that you must convert . But it goes both ways.\n\nIf she wont be Muslim anymore You will not have any problem marrying her.\n\nThough under civil law you can marry her, without either of you converting.\n\nAfter marriage a girl is supposed to join husbands family, it looks like you want to do opposite.\n\nAre you sure about conversion? \n\nIf you convert then what? \n\nWhat Islam has in spiritual section which advait Vedanta does not cover ? We do not have a one book religion not narrow definitions. There is so much to learn that whole life time is short. But the freedom Hinduism gives is unique.\n\nYou will be just getting loosing your family and if your marriage somehow did not work, you will have already lost too much. Because the moment you leave your religion for marriage , you lost an identity , you had since birth.\n\nUnder civil law you both Will be better off. Nobody will be loosing his/her personal belief yet get full benefits.\n\nOr you care more for the relationship to continue than her?\n\nGet another Girl will be my suggestion If she insists that you should really convert.\n\nOtherwise you are going to end up frustated after a few years.

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)
