You're right. I had a similar experience. Though we were still young and in secondary school, SS3 to be exact.
Her mum, a Ghanaian Muslim and her dad a Nigerian Muslim from Kano.
They threatened to kill her or take her to Ghana if ever seen with me again. Well, that has NOT deterred me from following/nursing my dream till this day.
I want to prove to people (and my family/friends), that tolerating and accepting each other's religion and tribes (in totality) is not only POSSIBLE but way way ATTAINABLE!
So help me God!
I gbadun your positivity. Just try and make a name for yourself, and watch the issue of religion intolerance and/or incompatibility go to the backburner.
Keep in mind that some people will put their feet down. In that case, just walk

It is possible, you know....inter-religious marriage.

All you have to do is thrash out the issues that will arise from such a marriage....eg religion kids will follow, etc.before you get married.... and it will go well.

(And personally....I know of at least two examples of Muslims marrying Christians...and the marriages worked.).

Personally speaking...I don't believe in inter-religious marriages. But....it can work...so long as the couple is willing to compromise.

I have always loved and admired religion tolerance. And I've always prayed and wished for a Muslim lady for a wife.
My friend's parents while I was in Secondary school were my role models and inspiration - married for over 30 years - the man an Imam/Alfa, while the woman a strong Christian women leader in her church.
God please give me a Muslim lady for a wife - she does her thing, I do mine.

Guy no deceive yourself except the parents are very liberal.It can only work if the man is the muslim and the woman is the christian.Muslims will never give the hand of their daughter to a kafri in marriage except if the girl herself was already a christian before you met like Fasholas kids if not you go old on top that your ambition.I have lived among them for years

This is nonsense. You should either accept him n his religion and practice it or never marry him at all. You claim the children understand but do u really know the psychological effect its having on them. They go to mosque on Friday and get taught and on sunday, they are taught another in a Church.
In case u don't know but am sure u know, it leads to a broken family and divided home. I refuse to buy your idea cos u know deep down ur heart that it has not been easy but u are mere covering up cos u are a public figure.

Inter-planetary marriage might not work....DNA issues. smiley

Plus....an extra-terrestrial specie might be grossly different from a human specie to be so incompatible in every way.

Hypocrites.

Well...eventually the kids decide.

I know of at least two inter-religious marriages...where the husband in both instance was Muslim. One of the marriages...hubby and wife agreed that the kids be brought up as Muslims(one of them converted to Christianity...but that was at adulthood)....the other case...wife took the kids to church....and as such the kids became Christian.

Personally, i dont see fashola as the type of muslim the holy prophet(SAW) refers to as believers or how does he explain the fact that his children are church goer muslims. He will wake up in the morning to pray subhi and neither his wife nor children living under thesame roof with him will be there. A muslim who cannot control his immediate family to perform solat cannot be taken to be a devoted muslim or is he comparable to his counterpart in Osun state- Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola?

Speaking to Channels TV In an interview yesterday, First Lady of Lagos state, Dame Abimbola Fashola explained how she and governor Fashola have been able to manage their home despite their religious differences. Abimbola who is Catholic, while her husband, Fashola is a Muslim, has this to say;

"We got married in the Church, the Catholic church, that is who I am, that's where you will take me from and that was done. But ever since then my husband has practiced his religion and I have practiced mine. There is no trouble whatsoever. My husband has his own part of the house where he prays, I have my own altar there with my crucifix and my rosary and everything and everyone is minding their own business. When its time for family prayer, we pray. I pray mine to the name of Jesus Christ while he prays in Allah's name & the children understand all that. My children are baptized and they go to church. When he wants them to go to mosque with him they go to the mosque with him."

A lot of us need to learn from this. Who knows if both of them rejected each other based on religious bias, they might not have achieved such a great destiny?

Mrs Fashola also revealed that to get her husband to do something she wants personally, he would ask her to put it in writing so that he would not forget and give it urgent attention. She said it has become important now that everything that she needs to be done has to be documented and passed to her husband because that is how he says he can manage the homefront and the state effectively.

Muslim and catholic has little difference. In fact history has it that Muhammed learnt most things from the Catholic church which was then practicing the backsliding form of ChrisTianity. Things like Fatima, repeating prayers with beads, scapula(a talisman-looking object hung around the waist or neck), etc are practiced by both faith and not in the Bible

Another anti-Bible doctrine that connects both religions is the idea of PURGATORY.
Purgatory is in Koran and exclusively in Catholic Bible.

Thank you for your adtice. It was duly noted!
But my brother, I, Otis, have equally lived and still live among them till date. My best friend is a Muslim and his name is Yusuf and we have been friends for 10 years now ; 2005 -( 2015)to be precise.
