Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
^ FYI: There's a lot of differences between a Western upbringing and a "Westernized" Paki upbringing... It's not like one is good/bad, or one is more liberal, it's just pretty different and you may be surprised (not that that is a bad thing) about the different ways you uproach life.
Re: I’m a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
I think that her point was that just because someone calls themselves Muslim and their actions Islamic does not guarrantee that they are a virtuous believer. These are labels that are placed on us or that we put on ourselves, but they do not always reflect what is on the inside.
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Sudquest, when you ask for someone's opinion, then respect it, whether or not you like it. Secondly, opinions have nothing to do with the religion the opinion-givers may subscribe to, so dont make broadstrokes that are not correct.
Now then, why are you asking others any how? Your and your girl's religious convictions are your own personal matter, if you two are at peace, then to hell with what anyone else says. Your situation is unconventional, but no one here is going to live it but you. If the two of you are willing to make it work, then why does it matter what anyone says?
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Sudquest, I don't really know the religious laws, but I have seen on TV that the church doesnt accept marriage with muslims also .. many couple where the female is christian cant do their marriage in a church .. they dont even allow to marry twice in a church if someone divored and want to marry again ...
All I want to say that religions has their laws and limits sets and sometimes we cant fight againt them.. just accept them.
My personal experience is of a friend... a pakistani muslim female married to a european christian, I guess chathloic male .. they just had court marriage and now have a baby boy .. the family of the girl accepted the male as its their only daughter, they both even went to pakistan for a holiday.
When their son was born, the mother and father of the girl where in their town, well the father of the girl refused to do azan in the baby boy's ear .. so they called another friends husband who then perfumed the azan in the childs ear. Now I dont know how he will be raised, but their marriage seems to be working and accepted, both are highly educated (phds) so of strong character.
I hope this information might help you.
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
wow.....wot a thread...
this is sumthing new...
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Sudquest, what exactly is your question? Are you looking for affirmation of what you intend to do, or are you looking for the pros and cons of what you intend to do?
On a forum like this, you will get a variety of opinions... none of which or all of which.... will match your own spectrum of thoughts. Perhaps if you are clear in your mind what you seek, the answers will be obvious to you.
My opinion is... steer clear of anyone else's opinion and do what you believe in. If you are truly in love and intend to make it work, and both of you beleive in what is between the two of you, go ahead and marry at cityhall. The ......religion or lack therof ..........question is best worked out in private between the two of you.
Whether a marriage will last for eternity is a question that is best left to the future. Do what you can for the present.
I am married to a culturally christian but verging on the atheist American man. We make it work very well and are happy together. I beleive if you BOTH want to make it work, ofcourse you can as long as you do not listen to others and thier myriad opinions.
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
change ur religion dude or else keep away from here...simple as...call me a hater or wateve but thats how it is
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
What do you mean by the underlined text? I am just trying to understand what you are trying to say, is it threat or something?
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Sudquest i dont mean to be rude but it looks like you came here with the intention of getting an answer which you have already decided. If someone does not agree with you, that doesnt mean they are insulting you. One more point is do not question the intelligency of others and raise yourself to be something high because that really isnt the case from what i can see. A normal person would accept all feedback and evaluate it, rather than picking answers and mouthing off at people who made a comment you personally do not agree with. In my opinion you and this other individual deserve each other and should basically just stop seeking attention. For the parents of the girl and you however, i shall be bothered to actually give my time in pasting some valuable sites reluctantly. Wait till i get 25 posts first...
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Sudquest, you are seem very intelligent, if people will give you the bad example of a Catholic marrying a Muslim, I am sure you will see many who have successful marriage. Religion is important but it takes two to have a beautiful married life. I am sure both of you, when you get married, will make the effort to understand each other's cultural and religious beliefs. Good Luck from my side.
Re: I’m a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
“thats how it is” refers to the fact that God has set a law for this issue and everyone knows what that is and if you want me to spell it out it is that a muslim girl can only marry a muslim… end of story…is there something you dont understand?

Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
The fact which slipped your mind is that the guy is catholic and laws set by God are for us not for him, how these rules apply to him.
These rules do apply to his GF who is muslim, do you get my point now.
As earlier in your post you mentioned;
Should be addressed to the woman who believes in the same religion as us. How does it sounds now.
Re: I’m a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
well u da dude ask da ques n if they gal is readin this then it is being addressed 2 her
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
^The question still remains will you ask (if you can) the woman to change her religion because it's not allowed in Islam?
Re: I’m a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
no why wud u ask the gal to change her religion? i wud tell her not to marry a christian…wats the point sayin u belong 2 a religion but then change it becuz u dnt like 1 of its rules…
religion is not a game u cant jus pick n choose…yo u r deluded…according 2 ur basis if a muslim was commitin a sin by drinking u wud ask em 2 change ther religion so in ther “new” religion they wudnt be commitin a sin!..u r crazy…at the end of the day if sumthing has been made unlawful by Allah(swt) then its wrong, even if u a non muslim wrong is a wrong,ther is only 1 God n religion!

Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Thank you I made my point. It's always easy to point finger at other faiths.
Re: I’m a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
i dnt understand u dude fact of matter is da muslim gal is in da wrong ( n so r u )
Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
So essentially even the christian religion would not approve, and would only offer a inferior blessing/marriage service than they would to 2 christians gettin married.
And as far as I am aware Islam does not allow such a blessing.
