According to the bahishti zewar - all witnesses have to be Muslim, regardless of where in the world you are. Nikah is an Islamic marriage and witnesses form a part of the marriage ceremony. How can a Nikah be valid Islamically, if part of it was unislamic (i.e witnesses?) The witnesses required are for the bride. In this case it would be her father/brother/uncles/grandfather. Naturally these people would be Muslims.
