so i really like this guy however i don't know if it is worth pursuing because he is Islam?

Don't get into this relationship. This is my honest and sincere advice. Unless of course you wish to convert. Then its fine.

Your a Methodist' so what are you born again?

If you suspect that you might want to be a full-on Christian, don't do this.

Have you examined the claims of your own faith? Have you been on an Alpha Course? You would be better off finding Jesus now, than jumping into a relationship where later on, being a real 24/7 Christian makes the guy's family hate you.

Forget him and follow after Jesus with all your heart. He'll find you the right man in good time.

Abu Danyaro is using reverse psychology - ignore his post.

1st of all, if you are not convinced that qur'an is a revelation then like what has been said by brother abu danyaro you may try to find any contradiciton in the Qur'an. I boldly like to claim that there is none. There's some that looks like contadiction but if you think critically then you'll find it's not. Ask me if you find any that you think is a contadiction. I'll anwser it within the best of my knowledge. because I think it makes sense for a revelation from Allah to have no contradiction because Allah is perfect and thus, a revelation from him should also be perfect. And there's also a lot of scientific facts in the Qur'an that has just been discovered in this 20th century and as you all know, it's a book that has never been changed for 1400 years!! ( a proof that Allah protects His revelation). How, if you think the prophet Muhamad (May Peace be upon him) wrote it eventhough he's an illitrate, would know all the scientific knowledge that can only be known in this 20th century? there are examples like the stages of foetus in its mother's womb al haj chapter 22: verse 5.

About you pursuing the muslim, Islam is a pure religion. Therefore if he practises the teaching of Islam, then you should not be scared to pursue him. How would you know if he's practising Islam or not (If you ask this)? Study Islam and may you find the truth. Why you should be scared to study Islam if you really are trying to find the truth because it's there. Just remember, sometimes the truth hurts. And in Islam it's OK to marry the people of the book which is the Jews and the Christians. So you can pursue him. and another thing, Islam is the religion and the followers are muslim(man) and muslimah(woman).May you find the beauty of Islam.

Please forgive me if I made any mistake. May Allah guide all of us and may peace be upon you.

As a Muslim if he's a practicing Muslim you will have nothing to fear. In Islam how a Husband treats his wife is the difference between him going to Heaven and Hell.

I can't make judgements on this guy because you get good and bad people in every religion.

Although whether his parents would co operate is another story. Especially if he's Desi.

My advise to you is this: DO NOT GET INVOLVED! for the following reasons:

1) He is following a religion (Islam) which is the fastest growing religion in the world today.

2) Most of the converts (they call them revertees) became Muslims after reading a book called "The Holy Quran" which the Prophet Muhammad claimed to have been revealed to him by ALLAH (the Muslim name for GOD)

3) In this Book, ALLAH has challenged everyone to look through it and that they will not find any imperfection therein! Imagine the insolence and the arrogance.

4) This is the only Book in the world that has stayed for over 1400 years without any revised version or edition and is "authored" by only one person

5) The Prophet of this faith made a bold claim which has not been made by any prophet before: "I leave behind two things,- The Holy Quran, and The Hadith (My sayings). As long as you hold on to these two you will never go astray"

Finally, the faith this guy is following was said to have been spread by the "sword" in the past, but it is getting more adherents today without the sword than it had ever had in the past!

So my advise to you is to search for this book, read it, find out all evidence to disprove its claims and then get serious with the guy!

Islam means struggle, and I've never heard of a parent calling their child "struggle"

(I don't think that you would be going to hell for liking a Muslim, there are good Muslims and bad ones, there are good Christians and bad ones, it's 6 or 1/2 dozen either way)

Certainly, difference in core beliefs makes any long term relationship difficult, and marriage with children nearly impossible.

So- you ought to think about why you really like this guy. Is it because he's cute and friendly? if you don't share basic values, that's probably not enough on which to base a relationship.

Good luck. All relationships are complicated. Whatever decision you make will be the right one for you, and you will certainly learn and grow from it.

It's absolutely worth pursuing. First, I know of several mix faith couples who have perfectly healthy relationships. Secondly, if the two of you care for one another, you should explore the possibilities. The key is to understand each others expectations. If his and your expectations are acceptable to each other...do what you do.

It could be if he's practicing. IMO, islam is one of the most misogynistic beliefs out there. Also, if he was raised devout, there's probably no hope for him.

Derrrrrrrrrrr. Derrrrrrrrrrr.

you are ignorant.
