Converting in order to marry a Muslim girl.

Go for it OP, I know a few reverts including my brother in law, best thing that ever happened to them according to them. Although my brother in law reverted way before marriage, so a little different to your situation.

Perhaps you should speak to someone knowledgeable on the matter, a local mosque or a revert to give you a better grasp on the matter. Well that or you could ask an EDL riddled GD on their views of you contemplating converting to Islam :)

edit: No good can come from beginning a relationship/marriage based off a lie. If you actually love her you will show her the respect she deserves, so if you decide to convert/revert do it whole heartedly. If you decide you don't want to, just be honest with her then the balls in her court.

Well he's not confirmed it either way, I can only assume from some of the pictures ive seen in this thread :p

This reminds me of dances with wolves minus the sausage.

She should accept you for who you are and not ask you to convert. If anyone is going to convert it should be the women.

Do you plan to take her last name also?

If she loves you and you love her, you will both accept what religion you are. Converting just for love is a huge no no!

That's not how it always works. It they're strict enough, they will not marry someone of another religion, nor convert. For many Jews/Christians it's the same.
 
I've been in this boat.. Once dated a English/Persian girl.. She would ask they same but i found it to be completely unreasonable because basically it would be a LIE. What i also said why do i have to convert just to appease her family how about she converted to my faith. All in all it was like a dark cloud over our relationship and probably had something to do with our eventual breakup.

If she loves you she wouldnt even ask you to do something like this.

My local MP is a Muslim, his wife is a Christian, so no need to convert.

Of course there isnt because in Islam you can marry a christian woman and even a jewish woman as we all believe in the same god.

Now a woman who wants to marry a non muslim guy?? the man must convert simple as that.

Reason for it is here:

The reason for forbidding a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim, is that a Christian or a Jewish man believes only in his prophet, and doesn’t believe in prophet Mohamed Salla Allah Allih Wa Salam or any of the other prophets (blessing be upon them).

For example, when this Muslim woman, tries to teach her kids to love and respect all prophets and believe in all of them, her non-Muslim husband will not agree, because he believes only in his prophet. He will interfere in the way she raises her kids, and prevents her from raising them in an Islamic way. And here comes the real problem, because she will have only two options, whether she leaves the whole thing as it is, and does nothing about it -which will be an insult to her religion- or she argues about the matter, and this will sure lead to more marital problems.

On the other hand, there will be no such problems between a Muslim husband, and a non Muslim wife, because if this wife tried to teach her kids to love and believe in her prophet, her Muslim husband will not refuse that because he already believes in her prophet and all prophets. This is why Islam allows the marriage between Muslim man and non-Muslim woman, and forbids the marriage between Muslim woman, and non-Muslim man. Because Islam respects the marital relationship and wants to guarantee its stability, not because it respects men, and disrespects women

don't you mean convert? Revert would indicate going back to something... i.e. converting to Islam then reverting to being a non-believer...

Nothing to do with being butthurt, its probably due to the fact that you made a stupid and downright inexcusable comment regarding his ex girlfriend.

Thats not smart nor very big of you, do some growing up.

Ive always said that it isnt Islam but rather culture that stops women from getting more rights.

Heres a thought fella, why not do some reading about Islam, understanding what its all about before jumping in with your comments;).

At the very heart of it, Islam is a very simple religion...its people who convolute the religion by bringing their silly backwards cultures into the mix.

EDIT: just to make it clear, a muslim woman is not allowed to marry a non muslim man...nothing to do with culture but rather its a religious reason as posted in my post above. Personally i dont agree with the reasons above as everyone is different in the way they think but going by personal experiences, there is a good reason as to why muslim women are not allowed to marry non muslim men unless the man converts.
