In light of all the responses giving a vehement no, I think I'll clarify:
It is not WRONG to love someone in another religion, but with some religions there will be problems that must be overcome, and sacrifices that must be made in order to preserve such love. I suppose it will be up to the individual to see if such sacrifices are worthwhile.

NO i dont think so there is any harm in loving someone from another religion. Love comes from ones heart and sees no religion, moreover all religions are in the end having a same target god the almighty. There might be cultural differences which one may need to sort out when you go for such relationship.

For me the religion is not important at all. But we are different. So, I think this difference in thinking may cause problems in these kinds of relationships.
But, I could not love a man for who the religion is important, for example.
The religion is one kind of way of thinking, and often it includes the lifestyle too.
To love is not wrong at all, but to make a relationship is problematic, no doubt.

For me: not at all!
Love is a feeling, an emotion, in a league of its own, far beyond religion, race, caste, social status.
I have romantic love and friendships with many people of other religions (I am not religious myself) and I think that as long as people are open-minded and willing to work together without enforcing their own beliefs upon another, then there is no problem whatsoever.
It is certainly not wrong, a crime, or a sin. Love is holy to those who believe in whatever God they believe in, it couldn't possibly be made wrong or evil because the person whom you love does not believe in the same God.

As said as Medicsrep,love have no language, no caste, no religion...So it's right to love her/him although you are not in the same religion.

It depends on your religion.
Some religions don't care, while others want you to convert your beloved before you get serious with it.
The conversion crowd does have a point; often when two people who are devoutly devoted to two different religions get married, it ends up that they both more or less give up their religion in favor of their spouse: it ends up that neither of them participates in their religion any more.
