Interested in marrying a Muslim woman

Shalom Rav, As a 21-year-old Jewish man, I’ve recently established a romantic connection with a woman who recently converted to Islam, my soul yearns for insight rooted in the depths of our shared religious traditions. In navigating this interfaith journey, I seek wisdom from our heritage to understand the sacred laws that govern our faiths and the nuances of our circumstances. How might we embrace love's path while honoring the sanctity of our distinct beliefs? In the glow of our union, I humbly turn to those well-versed in the richness of Jewish tradition for guidance. Your insights, drawn from the wellspring of our heritage, would be a guiding light as we navigate the delicate interplay of faith and devotion in our intertwined lives. L'shalom,

Shalom,

I feel compelled to share my perspective, whether it is well-received or not. There is one true faith, and other religions are unsuccessful imitations.

For those fortunate to adhere to the original, authentic faith, there might be little reason to seek out its replicated versions. Understanding Judaism can provide valuable insights, even for those who may not realise they possess the truth.

This perspective extends to all religions, including Islam. Unfortunately, countless lives are lost each year in the name of Islam. It's important to note that Islam, at its core, rejects other faiths, and its principles include 'Muhammad’s law by the sword.' This implies that individuals not embracing Muslim beliefs are automatically sentenced to death.

Dabbling in this evil while asserting its goodness is unacceptable, as what is deemed good may not align with the tenets of Islam.

Deuteronomy 7:3-4
Do not intermarry with them. Do not give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons, for they will turn your children away from following me to serve other gods.
