No. Nor would I date/marry a Christian or a Jew (unless they were an agnostic/atheist Jew)

His family would never allow it.

No. They tend to be too conservative for my liking. Although I wouldn't date a jew or christian even! heh

For sure no. Not sure I’d even attempt a relationship with anyone who identified themself as a member of any religion. Jewish, maybe, if it was a cultural designation rather than a religious one.

My ex-boyfriend is Muslim. So, yeah. He's Palestinian. Tall, 6'4, tech guru, funny.... sigh

I kinda regret breaking his heart. He has not moved on since me. I was so good to him (as I try to be with anyone in my life). I feel bad. He was in love with me. If his ex-wife would have been a little more respectful, he and I might have been married by now. At the time, I was dealing with her and my ex-husband's b×tch. I was so overwhelmed and in the middle of so much negativity. It was too much. I had to escape.

The ex-husband's wife didn't like that he and I would talk because we have kids together, HELLO! My ex-boyfriend's b×tch didn't like that her kids liked me. I'm pretty f××king awesome with kids. They come FIRST above anyone! Too much at the same time.

I have dated Muslims. A dear friend from college is gay, and a Muslim living in a country where being gay is much less tolerated than in the US. If I had the money, I'd marry him so he could move to the US. He'd like to move here, even though there's so much bigotry against Muslims.

A atheist friend living in a country where apostasy is a death sentence was raised Muslim. I'd marry him too to get him into the US.

Of course.

As a casual thing, I would go out with someone who is Muslim as long as they were kind and respectful. But anything that was more than just casually going to a movie or out to dinner, no. I don't think that we would be able to agree on what the role of a woman should be in a more serious interpersonal relationship and what rights women should have for personal freedoms and self-determination in society as a whole. I don't think that our core values would be compatible, and compatible core values are crucially important in any kind of serious relationship .

You would be surprised how many amazon warrior women have lived and loved in the Muslim world. And how many Muslim men are more liberal than the stereotype you refer to.

It depends.

There are many people out there who identify as muslim/christian/hindu or whatever that do not necessarily practice their religion.

Realistically, I would be unable to date a female muslim as she would already be betrothed to be married. If she was available to choose, then I would surmise that her faith was open to question and worth a look!

The problem is not a Muslim, but it is any religious person. I have no problem with them but deep down I know they will eventually want to "save me" and may even get into crying because I won't listen. Then their religious leader comes along and declares the both of you are "unequally joked." Did I get that right?

Yep! You got it right!

1

It would entirely depend on how religious/observant they were. I would say that of someone from any faith. And they would have to be acceptable of my agnosticm.

1

No! I wouldnt with anyone religious and in particular Muslims.

1

Date yes, but I've been married twice. A third time would seem excessive.

1

No way. It is mandatory, not an option, to become a Muslim yourself if you marry one.

Persian girls are Extremely H O T ! I don't really support the idea of marriage at this point unless there are children involved.. Its not a good situation for a male with the laws being what they are. But if I was going to get married a Persian girl would be a top choice.

Not all Persians are Muslim. There are some small communities of Christians, Jews, and Zoroastrians in Iran, and bigger expatriate communities.

I've never dated anyone with religious beliefs before and am unwilling to give it a try at my age. I absolutely will not be marrying anyone.

1

I would consider dating anyone who is faith-positive regardless which deity they pray to and if they're not hardcore. Beyond dating faithless only.

1

I wouldn't marry anyone.. ...

Rhetorical question?

Only if they could keep their religion to themselves, which I doubt, so probably not.

I have been pursued by all kinds of women and I would've married a Palestinian if she really wanted peace with the invader conquistador Israelis. ...but she like most activists in the region of faith WANT THEIR alleged gott Allah the winner of the wars and resistance. ....all believers are 99% Atheists preferring their imaginary 1% to be true. ...certain professionals CAN be tolerant in marriage as in their careers serving both believers and Atheists. ...I remain hopeful like John Lennon : IMAGINE

I don’t date any religious people.

0

I would date a Muslim. I will never remarry so that isn't an issue. Whether I'd continue to date him would depend on how he treated me. I'm not going to dumb down or be subservient to any man, and I expect certain behaviors. But if the chemistry is right I'd give it a try.

1

Yeah as long she don't force her belief on me. And be ok with me not being a religion person.

Huh? Why single out MUSLIMS? Like many comments that have been posted, any zealot would be hard to experience. So, why have you singled out MUSLIMS?

Because I spent enough time taking shots at the Christian faith. It was time for a change to ask about another faith.

@EmeraldJewel "taking shots" at any group isnt a productive way to gain information in my humble opinion. Actually its loathsome. Try to become more empathetic and learn about your subject instead of "taking shots" at it.

@JayJackson oh jeez. Take it easy. I think anybody non religious take far more than just shots, considering different beliefs believe people that don’t believe like them deserve eternal punishment.

@EmeraldJewel Also in forgiveness and love. If you have met EVERY BELIEVER then you have the right to the opinion above. Until then your opinion is based on old tenants that were used to dominate others. Just recently the ANGLICAN church allowed Women to be clergy. The Pope has reevaluated certain positions and said on a flight that Homosexuals deserve love and understanding, not scorn. Hindus and Buddhist believe in.... Just because this site and for that matter any other site is labeled agnostic/atheist doesnt mean that you or anyone else has privileges to single the faiths out for ridicule or scorn. Thats what THEY DO, so what sets you as an agnostic/atheist apart? Remember not to long ago these kind of questions were asked of your people and my own by others. Study "jim crow" and learn about the LOVINGS OF VIRGINIA.
