Re: Muslim women marrying non-muslim Men
interesting- where did you do your Islamic education??? I would think an Al Azhar scholor would certainly know his Islamic thought.
No not interesting. Its just a snide way of phrasing something that bothers you. I am not challenging his education or his Islamic thought - I am merely stating the obvious: In that linked article I see maybe two references to the Quran/Hadiths and neither relates to the commentary regarding the unavailability of Muslim men. As for my education, whether Islamic or secular, is no ones business.

When you combine the men marrying non muslims with the one who return back to the old country to marry...you create an imbalance...otherwise how do you explain the sheer number of single never married muslim girls out there over 30 they are 5-10x the single male number.

That is anecdotal evidence combined with societal factors. It is not incumbent upon me to explain why there are single never married Muslim girls over 30: Maybe its the preferences of their parents in choosing a partner, pursuing professional goals, or a host of other reasons. Not being able to find a single Muslim male in their country, region, or the larger world is not one of them. If a Muslim woman does not intend to marry because of XYZ reasons, the lack of single Muslim men is NOT one of the reasons. I can respect personal preferences and goals, but they are not valid excuses for marrying outside the faith.

Like i said before it is "wrong" but it doesn't make someone a non-muslim ...and i think it is interesting then men refuse to accept that it's important for them NOT to marry out...as important in these times as it is for women to marry in.**
Just by putting the word wrong in quotes implies that you don't believe it to be a fact of Islam. The marriage provisions are clearly stated in the Quran and all Muslims are required to follow the word of G-d.
No one is denying that it is preferred for Muslim Men to marry Muslim women, but this thread is not about Muslim men is it? If you want to talk about the importance of Muslims marrying each other than start one and I will be happy to contribute in support of it. I know that what I am saying riles up man haters everywhere (no I am not calling you that) but the fact is that there different roles and responsibilities for Muslim men and women in Islam.
