Re: I'm a catholic guy and in love with a muslim girl
Gravity_kills, if it is in your opinion, then so be it. But, could someone prove to my without a shadow of a doubt that God truly means that a muslim woman can not marry a man 'of the book'?
People of the Book
The phrase refers to believers (Muslims) mentioned in the Quran, the Christians (after Jesus, and before Muhammed), the Jews (after Moses, and before Jesus), and so on. It does not refer to the present day Jews & Christians.
Here is a verse from the Quran, which answers your questions well:
" Do not marry unbelieving women (idolaters), until they believe: A slave woman who believes is better than an unbelieving woman, even though she allures you. Nor marry (your girls) to unbelievers until they believe: A man slave who believes is better than an unbeliever, even though he allures you. Unbelievers do (but) beckon you to the Fire. But Allah beckons by His Grace to the Garden (of Bliss) and forgiveness, and makes His Signs clear to mankind: That they may celebrate His praise. "(2:221)
