I come from a rather open-minded non-muslim family, and I for one don't really mind tying the knot with a girl from another religion. My parents too, agree with me as they feel religion is important, but a happy life is even more important. But as open minded as they are, they are against me getting married to an Islamic girl. Why? Because they do not want me to forget my roots.

I would definitely take Malay girls into account, if the 'must convert' ruling is overturned or something.

Sure, but I don't see the point of converting, and then having to lose so much of my original believes. But honestly, religion is merely a barrier nowadays. I pray, to give myself more confidence and self determination. Nothing more than that. Those that live their lives for their religions, are well, dumb to me. But it's just my opinion. I'm sure many disagree with that, but yeah.

Malaysia is the only country where mixed marriage need to convert. Not to mention Nabi himself prohibits muslims from forcing other people to convert during his time.

Exactly.
