Asking this question on the forum gives a decent representation of the views of the public, from the racist to the sympathizer.
If somehow in 5 years we got to the point where we were ready to make a commitment, I wouldn't hesitate to "convert" to islam just to please her parents. I would kinda sorta like to keep my name however.
My beliefs have always been that religion is always a resource and never THE source. Therefore, you believe what you really want too.
I don't think her parents go to temple often and what not...so thats almost a moot point.

I have a cousion sister in america (a hindu born and and brought up in India) who married an american guy (this was after she already had her green card so please no thinking along that line). Her parents strictly told her that she may marry him but the guy has to change his religion and they have to get married in India. They now celebrate both hindu and christian festivals I dont know if they goto church or not or if they ever go to a temple but I guess what it boils down to is that who is more resligious in their convictions.
To quote another incident from when I was back in India a co-worker of mine fell in love with a muslim girl and after much talking and dicussion bot the families aggreed that they boy shud change his religion to Islam as in Islam change of religion means rejecting the way of the god and is an offence punishable by death hence to avoid complications with the commnunity the decison was made. Afterwards its not like they both were totally muslim or totally hindu. Both the families were on good terms with each other and regularly goto each others house for festivities (like diwali and id). I havent read the quran or would say that I understand any of its intricaies but from what I gather a lot of quran is open to interpretation much like how lawyers interpret law to suit the need of the hour.
I say that there are 2 sides to each law. One is the word of the law and the other is the spririt of the law

I know a family that has your situation. The Muslim lady just ran things - kids all brought up strict Muslim, house is full of Muslim stuff, all food cooked Halal, etc. Hinduism preaches religious tolerance and the husband works a lot/ isn't super religious so it worked out. Just be prepared to cede a LOT of things in your relationship if you want it to work out.

Or let her know whos boss.
Why can't it just be a compromise?

Its a little more complicated than that. Muslim men are allowed to marry women from the people of the book (Abrahamic religions), but the women are only allowed to marry Muslim men because the man is usually head of the house, and as such her children would not grow up to be Muslim [reverting from Islam is a big sin].
Unless she really isn't practicing.

My uncle (Indian) is married to a Christian white woman (my aunt), and they take their kids to the Hindu Temple and to the Church.
Thats the best way to do it, especially in a multicultural country like an America.

Don't worry about whether it will work out between you and her family. Just have a happy time together and enjoy it. At least have some happy moments together. Everything else is out of your hands.

It is possible to have a relationship like your uncle's are incredibly rare, even among mixed-religion families. However if 2 religions of the majors could be picked for such a thing, Christianity and Hinduism would be the ones.
Islam is pretty black and white - bringing up your kids non-Muslim is a sin. Hell, it's wrong even for a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim. Christianity isn't quite as explicit on a lot of these subjects which leaves it open to interpretation by many of its followers. People's interpretation of the bible also varies significantly on whether it is to be taken literally, whereas the Koran is very instructive and specific, leaving little doubt.
Bottom line is, inter-religious marriages can work, but MUCH more tricky with Islam involved.
Yes it does.

Great site to learn about the Koran.
