Why are Muslims very stubborn in inter-faith marriages?

This is asked with comparative observations of other religious people in mind.



In an inter-faith relationship, the Muslim partner will typically insist the non-Muslim person to convert to Islam in order to proceed into marriage. It is found that Muslims will rarely, if ever, convert to another religion in order to sustain a relationship because Islam objects to it. A Muslim parent will want any children from an inter-faith marriage to be brought up as Muslims. Why can't Muslims be accommodating like other religious people and have children brought up appreciating both the mother's %26amp; father's religions?



Why won鈥檛 Muslims embrace %26amp; welcome other religions? Why must Muslims be unfair %26amp; dictate? Surely a "mixed/inter-faith marriage" is exactly what it's called. It is the mixing of cultures, a creation of an intermediate.



Don鈥檛 answer with anything along the lines of:

"Allah knows best". It is an answer people use when they don't have an answer themselves. It's as bad as saying "Because鈥hat鈥檚 how it is".



"If someone really loves the Muslim person then they would change religion, they'd do what it takes to be with them".

Because the opposing argument is:

If a Muslim loves someone who is not Muslim, they can't be that Muslim themselves? And surely if a Muslim is so in love with a non-Muslim, they could take it upon themselves to convert and do what is required to be with their non-Muslim love.



I find Islam has hypocritical allowances when it comes to their concepts in marriage. I think the Islamic approach is not in sync with the concept of marriage. Marriage is a bond and a relationship status taken between 2 people on the basis of their honest identity. Having to change in order to facilitate a marriage is absurd. Isn't changing your identity a form of fallacy?



Why do Muslims consider it a one-way street? It seems that Islam is more of a recruitment process as opposed to a harmonic, peaceful regulatory body. (Yes, I know the irony that Islam mean 'peace').Why are Muslims very stubborn in inter-faith marriages?because Muslims are most backward of all religions and I don't trust them at all anyway.Why are Muslims very stubborn in inter-faith marriages?I don't know but once you get an answer, I need you to explain it to my Jewish mother.

That way, they wouldn't have a problem with their mate.

I'm christian. I've spent all of my life dating non-christians. It doesn't work out. They either don't like what you believe or else think you spend too much time reading the Bible. I'm 50 and still not married. From now on, I will not date outside my faith.
