I'm in the beginning of a relationship with someone from a different religious backround...can I make it work?

I'm Jewish
He's Muslim
Yes Israel kind of is an issue, but we can discuss it without ripping each other's heads off

I think the two of you will do fine as long as it is only the two of you. The real challenge comes when the relatives are introduced. If you truly want to make this go, then you must be ready for the family questions and have ready answers - on both sides (yours and your partners). If the two of you are happy and want to make a go of it, you can. I hope you have understanding and supporting families.
