Re: Muslim women marrying non-muslim Men
I have not relied on cultural assumptions in forwarding the argument.
*Islamically Muslim women are not allowed to marry outside of the faith, while men are (under the conditions already mentioned).
*
The motivations of Muslim men or even their "muslimness" is not in contention here. What I am saying is that even the most pious Muslim man *can *marry a believing Christian/Jewish woman whereas a similarly pious Muslim woman cannot.
Clearly, you are not directly addressing the issue, instead you prefer to focus on the religiousity of Muslim man/woman, rather than the Islamic law. Like I stated above the very act of marriage to a non-Muslim man is a sin, so why should we talk about that woman being a 5 times praying hijaban with intentions of raising Muslim kids, when she is living in an unIslamic marriage?
I am not highlighting the gender differences, this thread by its very subject matter is directed towards woman. I am simply a believer of the faith as it stands, not attempting to bend it to meet my lifestyle. Your overly defesive and knee-jerk responses are definitely indicative of the hostility that you hold towards men. This thread along with many others is proof of the fact.
