I am going to put my opinion because you put yourself out there. I am a middle eastern Christian lady (Assyrian). I will not EVER date a Muslim guy. For the following reason
1) You are all crazy- even if you claim you are not (my opinion, sorry). I don't know when you will snap.
2) You are controlling
3) Your views are wrong
4) It is taboo of my religion to date your religion, even if you convert to Christianity. My family will disown me and all my relatives will talk about me. My reputation is way too important than some guy. Even if I am desperate.
5) Your religion has killed my people for so long and this makes me angry. I know this is not your doing, but my people will chastise me heavily for this.
6) In your eyes, I will always be seen as a whore.
So no, I will not even be close friends with a Muslim man. This is my opinion, I am not here to fight. Take it or leave it.
Im a non practition muslim too, well mostly, and i get what you mean. My problem too, i date and don't wear hijab, but i believe in the basics and that mostly confuses other people
i would date a muslim guy , ISIS and whatever are obviously not true muslims they do not represent islam at all and we do have terrorists of all races and religions so being a muslim or a christian or a jew or an atheist... etc have nothing to do with being a terrorist
To be honest, I don't really understand what it means to be a "non-practicing" Muslim. It doesn't make sense to me to believe in Islam, but not follow it, nor does it make sense to not believe in Islam, but to still call yourself a Muslim (unless you just call yourself that because you're afraid of the backlash you might receive from your family, friends, community, etc.).
I'm an atheist and I prefer to date other non-believers. I likely wouldn't date a Muslim, but I'd be fine dating an ex-Muslim.
Okay... I find your description of your kind of muslim sounds similar to this: I am black but not too black, the lighter skinned black. Oh and I have a fine nose, wavy hair and other less African features. Would you date me? I AM BLACK PERIOD!
No offence but get a grip of your religious identity, either you are Muslim or not. Yes there are muslims with politically/ ethnically/ religiously violent agendas but be straight forward and stop sugar coating things. Your questions should sound more like this: I am a muslim guy, would you date me? And for the record, I would date you because I am not an Islamophobe / bigot. Have a little faith in yourself chap!
It would depend on the guy and how far he goes with it. I have some family that are Muslim and they're some of the nicest people. I'm not sure you're considered Muslim though... I'm a bit confused. Because you said you don't believe in any god (s) and you don't follow the practices, so... because your family is Muslim, you say you're Muslim, but you don't actually believe the stuff?
No. But not because you're muslim. Because I'm catholic and I want to raise my children catholic as well. In Holland we had a saying that goes:"The devil sleeps between two faiths on the same pillow". My catholic faith is important to me and someone who would ask me to abandon my faith and/or raise my children in his own faith or phylosophy (not mine) would not be a good match for me. I married a man who is catholic like myself, so any problems on faith and religion are not an issue between us as we believe the same thing. Atheists go best with other atheists, catholics go best with other catholics and muslims go best with other muslims. That's what I believe, people may disagree and that's fine, but I say two people of a different faith will not work.
As long as he's not religious (doesn't practice his religion at all, even doesn't mind eating pork and other "haram" stuff), I will date him.
What I DO NOT want is to be forced to live my life a certain way or change according to HIS religion and morals. And I won't raise my kids as muslim.
As long as a guy doesn't do those, I'm fine.
In short: as long as a muslim guy doesn't give a single fuck about his religion, I'm fine with dating him.
Now my parents... that would be a totally different story. lol
If that muslim guy would look like this of course :D

I'm Australian and I don't have a religion. I am in a long term relationship with a practicing Muslim, though he isn't a great Muslim lol he does try to follow it properly and I try to help him with little things like calling him in the morning to wake him up for morning prayer.
We are very happy and very much in love.
If I should be honest, not really. Regardless of whether you are ''non-practicing'' or not, it still means that in a way you are Muslim. However, don't get me wrong, I'm not discriminating. All I'm trying to say is that Islam is a religion that I don't quite like (more specificly your views towards women) and that is a reason for me not to want to date a Muslim. But, nevertheless, that doesn't mean that I'm telling people what to believe in or what path to follow, I don't have the right to do that. Everyone is free to believe in whatever he desires, as long as he doesn't try to impose his views upon others.
i'm not really into religious people.
i wouldn't care if you're a christian, a muslim or whatever. i think these people are not open-minded and i don't like that.
i'm an atheist and i always go for people whose beliefs are similar to mine.
so, to be honest, i wouldn't date a muslim.
