Thoughts on Dating a Muslim? Would you become a Muslim if you really loved Someone?

[chazus]

How exactly do you change your beliefs for someone else? Do you believe your faith in whatever thing is changed by what is written on a piece of paper?

There's plenty of other fish in the sea who don't adhere to ancient texts and immoral laws.

I always had reasoning behind why i loved someone. I have yet to love someone without reason and im already married now. If my own religion (lack of it in my case) is displeasing to a partner enough to push her away, we are both better off for it. Real relationship is about trust and being comfortable with someone, such a situation seems to only bring problems. Its not the same as dropping a job or moving to a new city to be with someone, we are talking about changing your own personal understanding of your own life, this is just not possible. It would just be a lie, a breach of trust. If the other partner is serious enough about the religion that they have to convert you to consider your love valid, im not sure what youd expect to not go wrong if they ever find out you really did it for that very reason.

I would have no problem dating a Muslim, but I wouldn't convert to Islam.

Isn't that illegal? I wasn't sure, sorry to sound clueless.

It seems odd to fall in love with a person who demands such a thing from you, no I wouldn't - regardless of their religious beliefs.

I'm more spiritual then religious

I wouldn't convert to any religion if I don't believe in it.... truly and with a whole heart.
If my partner (female in my case) or her family would require me to convert to their religion for me to be with her than they're not the kind of people I want to associate myself with... what matters is the person.
Not to be racist or anything, you can find fundamentalists in any religion... but nowadays, at this point in history.... it seems to be Muslims who are more on the devout side... with religion playing a crucial role in their daily lives... I'd find it near impossible for me to fall in-love with a Muslim woman... not like that she'd take me anyway... as an Atheist of Jewish ancestry I'm probably as infidel as anyone can get.

No, the chance of me becoming a Muslim for a girlfriend is slim to none; I can date religious people certainly, but not those whom allow it to rule their life, or that they expect me to convert.

I'm a lapsed catholic anyhow, so i'm uncertain on how Islam would view that if even in the unlikely scenario i did attempt to convert.

[TEHPALLYTANK]

No, I wouldn't.

[Kraenen]

Be it religion or political stance or anything else, you shouldn't change your beliefs or preferences because you have strong feelings for someone.

[Punks]

I wipe my own ass so no.

[Deleted]

No, I wouldn't change who I am just to be with them. If they loved me back, they wouldn't try to force me into it either.

Let's Say you fall Madly in love with a Muslim, Would you convert to Islam if it was the only way to be with and marry them?

No - nor would I expect them to convert to atheism. However the difference is - their religion might expect me to convert, and that is a problem.

[Krolikn]

No way. I wouldn't marry someone who cared that much about a religion anyway.

[cuafpr]

no i'd never change religions, or give up religion for anyone.

[Synros]

Ah no. No chance, I would never date a Muslim.

[Abbzow]

As a muslim myself, No do not convert to Islam, or any religion for that matter, just for the sake of being with that said person. It's really insulting towards them if you make them believe that you're a "muslim" but actually just converted to be with her and have no believe in the religion at all.

Either you actually study Islam and see what it is all about and why She believes in it and make a decision if you also believe in it or not. If not you should really just let it be..For her sake and her family.

[Deleted]

Doubt it. If I changed my core beliefs I wouldn't be me any more.

[Bakis]

Wouldnt date anyone committed to any faith.
