How to do you convince your parents to marry the guy you love ?

My parents are Christians, very much into preaching God’s word in the church circles, and are against my relationship with a Muslim boy. Religion is the only reason (as far as they tell me). My parents quote Bible verses that speak about God commanding against inter-religious relationships and marriages. But, I love the guy and neither of us are in the state of moving on.

It's pretty typical for religious parents to want their children to marry within the religion. My parents would have blown their stacks if I hadn't married a Jewish woman.

@LeopoldBloom That's true. Years before people were more religious and were strongly holding on to religious values. As years pass by atleast few people are being more liberal. In my can both me and my boyfriend are not religious. I won't force him to convert to Christianity not will I convert to Islam. We value our love and we don't want religion to restrict our choices.
