please,,, NO jay... jeez...

once you're Black and Cuban than you comprehend that there are Black Puerto Ricans. Being Puerto Rican isn't a race that's a nationality. There are Black and there are White Puerto Ricans. So lots could rely on the what the guy guy or woman enjoyed

I doubt if your parents would approve, and I am pretty sure HER parents wouldn't, either. But not all Muslims are strict.

That's family level -- and you each should talk to your folks and ask how they'd feel if you dated someone of another nationality or religion. Don't expect approval.

What you need to do on a PERSONAL level is decide how you feel about religion in general and whether you can accept that you don't believe in exactly the same things.... though the Muslim religion does recognize Jesus as a prophet, so there really isn't as bad a conflict as people make of it.

I personally don't like how EITHER religion treats women. But if you get along well with her, you are probably both willing to compromise. Your parents will be the sticking point -- Muslim fathers tend to behave as though their daughters are simply property, and they sometimes murder their own children if a girl does something that offends their sense of "honor." This has even happened in the US, though of course the bastard was arrested; in the Middle East he would not be.

So tread carefully. If her father is fanatic, you might be risking her life.

I think, honestly, if you want to make it work, give it a shot. Meet with her, get to know her, learn what she likes and dislikes, what she's passionate about, what's important to her, what makes her laugh. Those are the things that are important. Knowing you have the same outlook on life is what will make it last.

But, if you both have very different views on particular moral issues, it will be difficult. I know that there are some cultural and religious differences that you will need to overcome to make it work. If both of you are willing to be open minded then you can probably make it work.

Make sure you don't see her as a "muslim girl." Just see her as a girl. A human being. A person to try and live your life with.

I really hope that things work out and that the two of you can have a long, happy relationship.

It should be up to your girl,but families,especially muslim ones,are often extremely strict with their daughters,,you could wind up DEAD.

WTF?!?! disgrace apounus PuertoRicans?!?i should kick your ***! Lol jk. Look. This isn't rocket science homie.you can make it happen as long as you have the heart to match hers your in the clear! You can compromise your ways along with her to compromise as well
