Answer 1

no of course it isn't wrong.

you are fine:]]

I think Love is blind and people shouldn't care about other peoples relationships because it is none of their business.

I think you should keep doing what you are doing and be happy:]]

GOD BLESS

Answer 2

I dont think it is wrong. I think they should do what makes them happy!

Answer 3

There's nothing wrong with that!

Answer 4

You must have some doubts yourself, or you wouldn't care one way or the other what anyone else thought about it, nor would you have to ask if it's wrong.

It's only wrong if you accept that judgement.

Answer 5

Difficult, but not wrong, except in the eyes of the intolerant.

Answer 6

2 Cor 6:14 says we should not be unequally yoked.  Loving anyone is never wrong, but because of differences, they can cause you to do wrong.  If you want a good relationship, put away the major differences from start.

Answer 7

People who think that its wrong for any reason for two ppl to be in love are closed minded

Answer 8

I am in the same dilemna right now too.  I used to be a christian, but now I am atheist.  Many of my friends are christians, and many of those christian girls would date me if I asked them out.  However, I have to see first if they are a fundamentalist (whacky/crazy) christian, or...if they are a cool person who doesn't practice/believe strongly in christianity.  I would date a christian, because they are nice people.  However, I would also date an atheist girl, because they are nice people too.  It will depend on your maturity and level of love you have for him.  However...race/color should never be a factor when choosing to date someone.  EVER.  Everyone is colored...just slightly different shades.  Color doesn't make a person, character does.  Follow your heart.

Answer 9

It's most definitely not wrong! Love is a very, very beautiful thing, in deed!

If the two of you plan to get married, however, here are some questions you might ask yourselves.

Which religion will you raise your children in, if there are any? Many oh-so-enlightened couples today say they'll just allow their child to choose when the child gets old enough. However, what this encourages is the idea that faith is a buffet and that they can just pick and choose a little of what they like from each dish. It really is important to choose whether your children will be raised Christian or Muslim and stick with it, though it is also a good idea to let them celebrate holidays from both faiths.

Which religion will the weddin be performed in? Will the ceremony be performed by an Imam or a priest/reverend/pastor? One possibility might be to see if each religious leader would be willing to share with the other and perform the ceremony together. That way, the two of you could also incorporate traditional elements from both faiths.

Does the Muslim bride plan to wear the hajib? If the children are to be raised Christian, will they be able to understand why Mommy doesn't attend church with them? If they are to be raised Muslim, will they be able to understand why Daddy doesn't go to the mosque or pray 5 times daily facing Mecca?

There are plenty of things to consider if the love leads to marriage, but if the two of you love each other that much, then you can surely overcome any issue brought up by the differences in race or religion.

Answer 10

If your faith matters to you, you will want to raise your children in it.

If your faith doesn't matter, don't call yourself a Muslim or a Christian you are secular.

Answer 11

Being in love with someone from a different culture is not wrong.

Converting is ok, if you truly believe the religion you are espousing, Just because you are with someone doesn't necessarily mean it is heartfelt conversion.  I don't know why race is so important to the Arab community. Some cultures/religions/families are just not very accepting of outsiders. Some believe in purity of race. I'm guessing a white guy would be just as upsetting in the muslim community.  I don't know enough about the muslim beliefs to be able to do more analysis of the racial issues.  Good luck to you both!!!.

Answer 12

Many Muslims are of the color you mentioned specially in the Middle East. It is impossible for people to get upset of the man's color specially in the Arab communities except when whom you fell in love with is not yet a Muslim. It is not about  the color it is more of being a Christian.

Answer 13

race has nothin to do with it hun, but religion could definantly destroy a relationship.

Answer 14

Do they love each other? Why should religion matter? It's all fairy tales after all. It's like saying, my husband doesn't believe in Jack and the Beanstalk, so I shouldn't be with him. It's crazy logic.

Answer 15

Wont say that it is wrong, but sometimes such demanding differences can make  trouble for marriages ! Sometimes love is not always enough to get thru the differences, not talking at all about a man or womans color, but the traditions and religions and paths they want to follow can be different, and thus cause a struggle.

Answer 16

no it is not wrong.  only the two involved can decide if it is best to stay together. it is a shame that society often frowns about such things.

i suggest not looking at things as right or wrong, but what is best, what is for the highest good, what is the brightest path, etc.  being in love is wonderful.  i hope you can enjoy this in your life and i wish the best to both of you.  go within your heart, and use the wisdom of your heart.  it is not easy sometimes to tune out the opinions or demands of others, but it is best if you can.  God wants us to know how to make our own decisions, i think.  so, you decide  it is ok, then what?

could you move to a part of the world where there is at least, less judgements about the matter, if you decide to stay together?  love is the most powerful force in our universe, but it must involve wisdom as a main ingredient when making decisions.  i hope you two make it, being that you are in love.  blessings to you.

Answer 17

I see no problem with that whatsoever. I say if you two really like each other than who cares what other people say.

Answer 18

Religion and race should play no part in a relationship.  Some agree with on not the other.  Some say race plays no part but religion does and I am proof that it does not.  I am a member of the Church of Satan and have been so for many years.  I am a proud Satanist and am open about my beliefs.  However my wife is a Christian.  She was raised one and continues to be one.  We do understand each others standpoint we just don't agree with the other.  We do enjoy discussions about them every now and then and seeing how much they differ.  Honesty her family has more of a problem with it than her or I do.  Her mother doesn't understand how we can raise our daughter in this situation.  To solve the problem the family causes on us I stay away from them.  I recently saw her family for the first time in 2 years and only was around them for 5 minutes.  Point is if you dont let it bother you or effect the relationship it wont.

Answer 19

Only ignorant people would get upset.  Do what makes you happy.

Answer 20

1: Religion is divisive, it is a political mechanism used to control populations. Get rid of it altogether, it is unnecessary and often damaging.

2: There are no different races, we are all just people.

Answer 21

It's not wrong at all.
