Response to Lisa, march 6 ,2009:

quote:It is also in Quran that it is ok to marry a woman of the BOOK meaning a Christian or Jew and a wife is a good thing and it encourages marriage and tries to do all to keep marriages together so why on earth would this man IF HE LOVES YOU not want to put you first

Yes a muslim is permitted to marry a "woman of the book"! but lets not leave out this little detail from qu'ran!

surah 60-10,Do not hold on to your marriages with unbelieving women. Demand what you have spent on them and let the unbelievers do the same. This is the order of Allah which He has decreed between you. Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise

And lest you say the people of the book are not considered "unbelieving women"

surah 9;29, kill those people of the Book Jews and Christians " who do not believe in Allah" and the Last Day, do not refrain from what has been prohibited by Allah and His Messenger and do not embrace the religion of truth Al-Islam until they pay Jizya protection tax

The above command pertains even to your mother and father, brothers and sisters if you should revert to islam from amongst the "people of the book"!

surah 9-23,O believers! Do not take your fathers and your brothers as your friends if they prefer Kufr (unbelief) over Iman (belief); for those who turn away from this commandment shall be considered wrongdoers

Also we have this lovely little morsel from the command of allah!

surah 9-24, O Prophet, tell them: If your fathers, your sons, your brothers, your spouses, your relatives, the wealth that you have acquired, th, e business in which you fear a loss, and the homes which you like are dearer to you than Allah His Messenger and making Jihad (struggle) in His Way, then wait until Allah brings about His decision. Allah does not guide the transgressors

with their own hands and feel themselves subdue
