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.

What is your faith? If you are a Christian, are you willing to give up your beliefs and turn to Islam? Is he willing to give up his to convert to Christianity? It isn't a decision your parents can make, it is a choice you have to make. If you want your parents blessing for your marriage, you can't really expect them to go against their core beliefs either.
