^Sexist, aren't we?
So it has always been their agenda to keep the weaker weak, very nice. Again, this only benefits men, bigger pool of women to choose from. Seriously this is ridiculous.
I read somewhere that it is forbidden for a muslim woman to marry a non-muslim because the husband has the authority over his wife and children and if the husband is not Muslim it will be difficult to raise children as Muslims since he will want to raise them according to his religion.
Now here's my problem: what if the non-Muslim wife has an issue with that? What if she wants to raise her children according to her religion or what if she wants to stay in a secular country like America and the husband wants to take them to an islamic country like Afghanistan/Iran/Saudi? Wouldn't that also lead to problems? I see the husband getting sole custody of the children and the wife will most likely get divorced. I see problems in either case so it doesn't make any sense to allow men to marry a non-muslim unless their intent was to keep their options open. marry 4 times. marry anybody, have sex slaves.....Who's left? So basically, make as many Muslim babies as possible. No wonder it's the fastest growing religion.
Ok whatever, I am mad. This is not the God I believe in.
p.s. WATCH "NOT WITHOUT MY DAUGHTER"... It is very evident that problems are bound to happen one way or another.
First, your last point: You are absolutely right that problems are likely to happen one way or another, which is why marriage to non-Muslims is discouraged.
Secondly, you didn't try to negate the argument put forward by the scholars in cricketplaya's post: that most societies apply pressure on wives to conform with the husband's norms. That has been a steady influence for the past millenium and a half.
Thirdly, you argue that the intent of permitting marriage to non-muslims must be to enable men to marry more times. You ignore how Islam encourages a violent response to national violent provocation (rather than turning the other cheek), which means that historically most Islamic states from the time of the Prophet( pbuh) to very recently) were regularly at war. Muslim countries rarely had professional armies and instead used conscripted or volunteer civilian men as soldiers, which means that there were high male mortality rates. Polygamy offered a way of sustaining the Muslim population under these circumstances.
The objective of this third point is that the overwhelming majority of Muslim polygamous marriage have historically been, and continue to be, amongst Muslims. Your point that the purposes of being able to marry non-Muslim women must be to support polygamy is therefore invalid.
because one man will not marry without considering the lifestyle of the woman. Just like other important decisions in life we take care of every detail, same way when getting married one should marry a pious person. The man should first invite her to the truth even she’s Jewish or Christian. Anyways, I think all these specific issues will confuse you even more.. just pray for a sign 
…anyway, you all got the point.
jk!
