Don't marry him unless he actually does convert. Take him to a group of Muslim converts (rare) or evangelical Arabs or Turks. Although they are rare, they do exist. See if he is comfortable and makes friends and likes the group. Then see if he converts, and how his family feels.

I have warned people against marrying Muslim men and realize by reading this site that I am lucky to have a man who never hindered my practice of religion. He is more liberal than most although we have had many problems in other areas. However, on Christmas Eve he actually went to church with me. He made some snide comments but at least he went after 30 years, which was a miracle in itself., and I'm praising God for that.
