Most of them sreamed, he is christian, how could you do that you are a muslim.She answered bravely because I love him.Oh GOD what a mess, she was frustrated and went out sad. Why the community cannot accept them?

Gypsy: Where proof/logic is possible, 'faith' is not necessary. As they say, faith is coming to the end of all u know to exist and taking the next step in the firm belief that either u will be taught to fly or ground will come up n meet u.

Which is why most organised relegions promote 'followers' rather than 'disciples', A true disciple is someone who questions everything including the basic premises on which all relegious explanations are based on.

Organised relegions allow questioning to a limit well above the basic premises. Any question tht delves deeper is answered with stuff like "God knows best". Shud say I agree with u on that.

explained by a religious organization, it only meant it is not the true religion. If such religion can not back-up their faith by the book they believe in, then searched for the one that will answers all your question and settle for it. From food to inter-religious marriage, if it can not be supported strongly, then it's a false one. One thing is for sure, Man can not served two Masters, whether the male or female gender.

The old adage "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing" comes to mind..

Most of us enter into these discussions about religion, without ample knowledge to back up our arguments..

The right way is to either do the research yourself or ask a person with knowledge of the specific area..

There are many websites around nowadays, but be warned, that some of those are "fake" and may give wrong advice / guidance..

QL is a great medium. We can share knowledge, discuss issues and give feedback, but personaly , I think religious issues need further clarifications.. This is where Princess Habibah and Umm Sulaiyam have been quite good, although again, their responses are sometimes long and put people off....BUT they do give you the gist of the issue..

You're simply asking the wrong people. Believe it or not, I have a couple of trusted resources whom I consult with. I use my brains and then re-consult the Book again, if still in doubt.

I don't consult the FAMOUS or those claiming to be religious. I'm even sorry to say, mostly I don't trust the large majority of them. I'm extra careful in this regard. Would've hated my religion if I surrendered to those or gave them my ears, let alone my brain.

I think this is what religion brings.. a whole lot of misunderstanding and confusion for all ends.

I guess even if we don't understand the whole lot of it, we should just respect them and their beliefs.

Imagine if we didn't have to deal with religion. People will be less divided?

Your statement is incorrect, even if in practice it might sound as such. The first word in Quran is "Read" i.e do your research, ask the knowledgeable, contemplate, think, use your mind. All these are clearly used all over the Book.

Don't be misled by those who claim "These are commandments"..."Allah said that, I don't know the reason". When you wholly trust in someone and you're short of knowledge or reluctant to ask, you will follow blindly. One still feels safe.

In Him (Allah)I trust, but I'm always loaded with questions, and never shy to raise them. The problem is that answers are, in so many cases, are falsified or carry personal tendencies. And there lies the real danger.

Best to consult the Book, and do hard work to get the right answer.

I am not blaming you for that statement at all.

The point is the prohibition of the marriage between the mentioned person in islam is true .

Any if u r muslim u need to obey it . because in certain levels or real creditability of a muslim she/he well be convinced about that rule

But in case u do not accept it , so don’t but it will show the commitment level of the muslim

No religion is in need of someone but we believe that people need the religion

So u are free to choose that is my opinion ( I am muslim )
