Muslims - would you date a non-Muslim?

Is this a male? Do you fancy a Muslim girl and your a Christian?

So basically dating then with a third wheel? And with a very short timespan until engagement/marriage?

It's weird thinking how this works for me I guess normally it is a person you have already known for a while? Aka family friend or someone from school?

Definitely and I'll explain why - in the mid-80's a Tannzanian/Indian Muslim woman met, befriended, fell in love with and later married a white Scottish athiest man in London, without that happening I wouldn't be here today

As far as I'm concerned, Religion is all about belief and doing good things. It should not defy common sense.

aye sister HAwar are you going to marry a non-muslim?

Belief - believing in Allah, the Quran and His messenger.

Doing good things - acting upon what is taught by Allah through the Quran and the teachings of Muhammad (SAW).

'Common sense' - this can be a subjective determination of what is right and wrong without necessarily actually being correct or right.

A Muslim believing and doing good things according to what the religion teaches is common sense by my determination, since it is what is approved by Allah, the one from whom we came and the one to whom we will return. To use 'common sense' to defy Allah by saying it's okay to date and marry non-Muslims for boys and girls is contrarily not common sense.
That said, it is one thing to do a sin and another to say that the sin is okay to commit, as naturally we all sin, but my point stands that 'religion should not defy common sense' since common sense would be to not defy religion in the first place...

Then what do you propose people like myself do? I'm not going to simply abandon my faith. Or should I just remain single and lonely forever...?

If your Dad was atheist,why did you become muslim?

So if he wants us to exclude non-muslims from our live like that, then that surely means that he loves them less than us? If that's the case, then why did he create them?

Sorry, but I'm not having any of that.

Lol, teach those who do not know Islam about Islam, be friends with them, talk with them; that does not mean date them (and dating is haram - even other Muslims), and it doesn't mean marry them. Yes, a man can marry a *chaste* Christian or Jewish woman, but that does not mean date them.
All this said, how many chaste Jews and Christians live here in the West and will willingly marry a Muslim man in a halal way? If you can find one and get to know them in a halal way, there is nothing sinful about it, but if you can't, then anything which breaches these rules is sinful. The Quran and Sunnah outlines these things. If you wish to now reject the Quran and the Sunnah based on your own whims, then you have no right to call yourself Muslim (since you are disbelieving in Islam by doing that); if you wish to accept that is sinful but still do the sin anyway, that just means you committed a sin but you are still a Muslim - this is the decision you have to make.

As said, there is a difference between saying 'I am willing to commit this sin' and saying 'this is/is not a sin'.
