Default different race and religion?

this may (and i hope not) escalate into a flaming thread depending on ur view/opinion and of cos ur post

lets say a guy and a girl love each other, but the guy is a chinese christian and the girl a malay muslim, wad will they do? wad do u think they shld do? i hope i dun see sgclubber posting "they shld elope or drink poison and die together" lol, this is not romeo and juliet

shld the guy gif up christianity? or shld the girl turn back on the tradition of malay and gif up islam? or shld they gif up their love instead?

do race and religion have to be a barrier for love and relationship?

EDIT: this is a sensitive issue to some people, so i deeply apologize for any offense u mite have felt yea? its just a totally curious qns that popped into my mind while watching romeo and juliet

This sounds like a radical situation. In the first place, they should have considered the differences in their faith.

But alright, if I'm the guy...I won't convert just for her. Don't ask me why, I just feel this way.

It's alright if I'm a free thinker, but not if I already believe in a religion.

I personally feel that religion is a big hurdle to cross. Should have settled that from the beginning. Less headaches in the future.

Hey burgerboi,to sidetrack a little, i noe of my fren's parents who elope to be together due to family objection(same race though). They had never return to their parents' hse eversince. but they don regret it, they are glad for their choice they made. Love is almighty. It gies u strength to do wat u think it's impossible and unbelieveable.

In this case, i'm not in the situation to say if they should give up on the relationship or religion. it's a hard choice since christianity/islamism might be deeply etched in their roots.

My POV: if they really love one another, they might jus want to forsake their religion? Provided, this doesn't become a hot topic to argue over durings tiffs/quarrels..

*just 2 cents of worth*

its a rare case lahz.. but i have 2 friends who are still together now.. the guy is a malay, the girl is a chinese christian.. the girl told me tt she won't be the one converting, but from what i know, muslims can't convert or else they'll be thrown out of the family (tt's wad i've heard from some malay frens). n its almost impossible for a muslim to get married to a non-muslim.
its a dilemma, n only the couple can settle it between themselves. the impt thing is tt they have to cope with their families viewpoints as well, so i guess its gonna be a tough decision when they really plan to get married..
for me.. i'm a free-thinker, so i just need to convert to muslim to get married to my bf lahz..
