    Everyone here has valid points.. But all one sided views if everyone here had leearnt the Faith's then all ur responses would be diffferent . not jsut quoting wat u read... Loving and  understanding... not like Guest22667281 who obviously one sided and one of those stupid extremists that ruine the goodness of there faith .. cause of there stupid1ty to understand..
    Yes a muslim man can marry outside his faith .. but the kids are automaticaly musilim..as for a orhtodox its harder to as the church is very controlling of who they marry and what is the outcome..

    remember u are not marrying the church u are marrying the person u love..

    if u both can be open understanding nothing can stop the way u raise ur children..or the way u live ur liffe

     its simple. Its high time non muslim women woke up and stop saying they fall in love with muslims  and are ready to convert. Because the muslim b******s will never allow their sisters to marry non muslims.. 

     

    Islam is poison . Pure poison. Its about time we start converting muslims to other religions. 

     

    Its sad that the Western World NEVER listened to the cries of India when the Muslims broke the land up into several parts. Muslims are tolerant when their population is low. The moment it rises, h**l breaks loose. 

    Moral of the story: if the diplomatic UK had heard the cries of the Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Christians of India, Israel, and other countries, perhaps the curb to muslims would have been in shape. Perhaps we would not all be crying because that would have meant you realise the dangers of Islam. 

     

    But now that its biting white land, they have woken up. Please keep your muslims to yourself now. We dont want them in Israel , we dont want them in India, we dont want them anywhere. 

    Face what we faced for years, the oppression , the craze of Muslim extremists. Serves you right! 

    Kashmir is the land of the usually peaceful hindus. Now they have been ETHNICALLY CLEANSED to a point of no return. Its worse than what hte n***s did to the Jews. But NO ONE WANTS TO f*****g LISTEN. 

    Just because we are people of colour, you watched while the Muslims took our lands away and even support them to keep Indian progress curbed. What do you want now ?

    To kick them out, send them over to our countries and make life a living h**l for us too? 

    Hindus, Jews etc. never pick a stone and hit. They get hit and which self respecting human or community will be quiet forever. We have learnt over the years to answer with a boulder instead. 

    Is that wrong ? Muslim population is a poision and all those rebellious b******s who want to convert to Islam just because they want to go against their communities are nasty , people who get thrills out of rubbing it into their communities faces. 

    Thats what Islam is. It spreads and RUBS IT IN YOUR FACE till you start retaliating, then they make a huge hue and cry, and show how victimised they are. They are NOT victims. They are the CAUSE. 

    Thankfully, Indian muslims because of education and living within interreligious communities are more tolerant. but they are out numbering the birth rates as well. What do we do?

    Most mUslim women are married by age 18, have two babies by 20 four by 22 six by 24.. and then ? the cycle continues. 

    How do you guys help yourself when you left the countries that were supposedly NOT SUPERIOR TO YOU BECAUSE OF COLOUR, to rot ? 

     

    Its called KARMA, and what your ancestors did and left us in, is what you are getting back. 

    I still support the cause of a white europe. I am a coloured man and son of a HIndu kashmiri father whose family was devastated and had to leave Kashmir during Mughal Raj. we cant go bak now because we have no where to go. Happy in India. But everytime muslims start a riot, hindus fight back and then ? the whole onus is pushed bak to the hindus persecuting muslims. 

     

    This is the muslim modus operandi. Please understand this. If and when there comes a time , when the muslim backlash and terrorism starts hugely in europe, and the government wants all people of  muslim to go bak, I will be the first person they kick out just because I look like a muslim. 

    Now you know why the sikhs, the hindus, the christians of india, the jews , etc hate islam. 

    NOW YOU KNOW ! I am also going to be victimised by being sent back , which is inevitable, and I dont mind it either. Just that white land ignorance to islam is exactly what got me here. To get away from them, to live a better life after england sucked the life out of us.

    But yes I DO SUPPORT ANYTHING AGAINST ISLAM. Even if its the manipulative white person who milked us out of everything and made us get into this horrendous situation. 

    I will go back when the english government asks me to do so without a blink . Course it will ruin my life and put me bak into the communal tensions no thanks to islam, but I guess I DESERVE IT because the white man thinks I do.

    In my opinion i am a Greek Orthodox man and i would only DATE outside of our faith but never get married. I could only marry inside the Church, im not forced to but i believe its the right thing for my and my future children and i have always wanted my children to have Greek Orthodox blood running through theyre vains. Even though you love this man i would never give up my religion for a man or woman ever. Our religion faith and values are one of the most important things in my life and i would NEVER give it up for anyone.

     Hello, Im Greek orthodox and I met a muslim guy.......we had a relation and he said to me that I have to accept not to marry on the church and to have the kids like him and everything like his way if i want to marry him. He never thought about what my religion asks or what i want. He has one religion but he forgets that I also have mine and even if he doesnt think that this religion is good I believe it cause I believe truly in my religion....Not in the religion that our prists trying to push us. I believe that love means that both have to sacrifise smth if they are from different religions....because as I wont get married on the church so he should allow me to have the kids like me......because they will be inside my body......so how can they be muslims if they have christian blood???The marriage is not the main problem I think...but the kids and the every day life....Greek orthodox have totaly different way of living than muslims.....As hard as it is greek orthodox should not get married muslim.......if u know  a way please tell me!God is love and if you loved someone then how can you say that ok...he is muslim forget him?I dont think that love works like this......

     Well as a Orthodox Christian, we are taught that we must marry within the orthodox faith. I believe that  yes, you should marry within the same religion because as stated above it 's easier to raise the children if that will be an option. You see this is where i get stumped because as christians were taught to love one another and your neighbors and people you don't now and not judge, but if you have to select who to marry then i feel like that takes something away from that love. Yes it's a contradiction that the muslim religion and the orthodox are at different spectrums when it comes to views on marriage and dating, and yet they both teach love and compassion. I cannot say which religion is correct and which is not because no one really knows. I believe there is one GOD, and that depending on where on this earth you live, determines your specific religion. I don't think it's right to kill people because of different beliefs because technically that's going against orthodoxy to love one another, but also it says that you must defend your faith. The muslim religion also says you can kill in the name of Allah (correct me if i'm wrong please) if you are being persecuted, so like the song, WHERE IS THE LOVE? Why is your God better than mine and my GOD better than yours????? I believe it's one GOD and people have different perceptions on what their God looks and what the teachings are. So to break that down, why should we be limited on who we can love and marry?

    I AM MUSLIM LIVING IN LONDON AND I AM GETTING MARRIED TO A GREEK WOMAN. IN ISLAM IT IS FINE TO GET MARRIED TO A JEWISH OR CHRISTIAN WOMAN AS OTHERS HAVE SAID.

    AS FOR THE GREEK CHURCH SHE IS CAST OUT OF CHURCH BECUASE I WILL NOT BE BAPTISED/CONVERT.

    I FIND THE ORTHODOX VIEW VERY NARROW AND RACIST ACTUALLY LIKE n**i GERMANY.

    ORTHODOX RELIGION THINKS THEY ARE THE BEST LIKE THEY ARE THE CHOSEN PEOPLE AND EVERY BODY ELSE IS RUBBISH. SO WHY DID GOD MAKE THE REST OF US?? JUST TO MAKE YOU GUYS FEEL REALLY GOOD AND SUPERIOR .

    GET OVER YOUR SELF YOU ARE NOT THE BEST AND ONLY. MOST OF YOU WITH THAT THINKING HAVE TO REMEMBER...NEARLY ALL OF YOU ARE INBRED!!   FELL SUPERIOR NOW?

    WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?  MARRYING A MUSLIM IS A BETRAYAL OF EVERYTHING GREEK.  EVERYTHING YOUR FOREBEARERS SACRIFICED FOR FROM 1459 TILL 1833 WILL BE FOR NOUGHT UPON YOUR MARRIAGE.

    for a muslim man there is no problem to get married with christian or jwesh women we all believe in god , but he musn't married of sombody who doesn't bielive in god,as in islam it is better to married a muslim women because of children
  11. Guest18574398
    Yes, she can marry, if the man comes to Orthodox Christianity. Else the marriage is only a contract, like in Islam, is not a sacrament, like in Christianity. So, if u are talking about real marriage and not a contract, then u can not marry outside of Orthodox church. As i said, Christian marriage is an sacrament. For getting to marriage sacrament you need to have the first required sacrament, which is baptism. In Orthodox Christianity the procession is accomplish by Jesus Christ Himself, and man and woman become one flesh. The bond is made for the eternity, not only for this passing life. Here few informations about what Christian marriage, a sacrament, by Saint John Chrysostom: http://www.roca.org/OA/121/121b.htm Here informations about contractual nature of Islam marriage: http://www.moslim.nu/marriage/Pages/Marriage05.html

    Hi there, I am currently in this situation and i will tell you this.... YOu can definitely get married but not in an orthodox church as he would have to convert. The ceremony would have to be completed in a church that welcomes interfaith ceremonies i.e. united church or anglican church. The orthodox church basically states that if you get married outside of the greek church you are no longer considered a member of your church.. Its considered a stigmatized act....

    Hi There, A muslim man can marry a christian or jewish woman. I am a muslim and know. A muslim woman can only marry a muslim man. it's better for a muslim man to marry a muslim woman, as it is easier to bring up their children when both have the same beliefs, but strictly speaking nothing prevents him from marrying a christian or jew (people of the book).

    Only if she's got rocks in her head.
