@Mirch

I did not call it quitting the religion. I told her that she cannot marry a Mushrik unless she denounces her religion. Islam clearly forbids Muslim women to marry a Mushrik . If one marries a Mushrik to whom she may stay married till death then she will be in a constant state of sin. Sin is something one commits and repents and Allah(SWT) may out of Allah’s mercy forgive one. But what is the way out of this constant state of sin ? None, other than separation or avoiding to get married and stay away from this sin altogether.

It kind of makes me flinch when someone calls him a Mushrik. Like I said, the sect he belongs to does not do idol worship. There are people, some mughal scholars among them, who consider Hindus (at least Vedic Hindus) people of the book.
Maybe I’m just kidding myself here, but still, it’s something to keep in mind.
Why should the 'ahl-e-kitaab’s be confined to a small area of the middle east? Surely, there would have been revelations made to other civilizations India, China etc. albeit these have been quite corrupted with the passing of time. And, you’ll admit they had a lott of time to get corrupted in…
