answer

In Islam, it is permissible, though being makruh tahrimi, for Muslim males to marry the females from among the People of the Book [Christian and Jewish women]. Both a Muslim male and a Muslim female cannot marry a Buddhist or an atheist. If they marry, this act takes them out of the fold of Islam.

Marrying a non-Muslim woman involves disadvantages in terms of the children they will have in the future. In the past, children were able to safeguard their religion under the influence of their environment in Islamic states. However, it is very difficult, maybe impossible, today for a Muslim man who gets married in a Christian country to protect his children from the influence of their environment. Even if he lives in a country inhabited by Muslims, it is next to impossible at such a time as this to bring a child with a non-Muslim mother up under an Islamic education. There is no sin graver than bringing one's children up as disbelievers. He, together with them, will go to Hell. It is declared in hadith-i sharifs:

(All of you are like shepherds of flocks. As a shepherd protects his flock, so you should protect your households and those under your command from Hell. You must teach them Islam. If you do not, you will be held responsible.) [Muslim]

(Many Muslim children will go to the Hell named Waylbecause of their fathers, for their fathers, being seized by the ambition of earning money and making merry and running after worldly affairs only, did not teach their children Islam and the Qur'an al-karim. I am far removed from such fathers. And they are away from me. Those who do not teach their children their religion will go to Hell.)

How difficult it is to teach Islam to a child whose mother is a Christian. It is stated in the hadith-i sharif above that if a father does not teach Islam to his child for any reason whatsoever, he, together with his child, will go to Hell.

Muslims are allowed to marry Christian and Jew women too because they have a book of revelation just like Muslims.

Why:

Islam respects previous revelations such as the Torah and The Bible and previous ones. As such, a Muslim husband will allow a his Christian or Jew to practice her religion freely without any problem. Yes we prefer that she convert to Islam, better for her as she will become a believer as should be according to the old scripture, but she will not be obliged to do so. Children will of course follow their father in his religion and eventually become Muslims. In fact all children, regardless of their parents faith, they are all born Muslims "by Fitra" meaning born on the oath taken from them before the creation of this universe by Allah the almighty.

NOW! if a Muslim woman is married to a non-Muslim, then she will not be allowed to practice her religion freely since Christians and Jews and other faiths hate Islam and do not acknowledge prophet Mohamme pace be upon him as messenger of God. A man is always stroner than the women and affects her man than she does to him.

Also, the children will diffenately follow or made to follow their father's religion and in this case we lose them to hell which are ordered to save people from it.

Answer 3

yes

Well that depends. If you are a Christian or Jewish woman then no, it is not necessary to convert. Muslim men are allowed to marry women from among "people of the book" that is the Christians and the Jews. On the other hand, if you are a non-Muslim male then the answer is yes, you have to convert because Muslim women are only allowed to marry Muslim men.
