Islam And Christianity
Islam doesn’t allow Muslims women to marry the non Muslims the people of book. If you come to know that he is a drug dealer or involve in human trafficking would you still like to marry him? Shirk or polytheism is more repulsive. This is a matter of faith, not just a cultural problem. If you value your faith you cannot choose a polytheist and if his polytheism doesn’t bother you, you can do whatever you like. The Muslim men are allowed to marry the women of the people of book because women usually live under the provisions of their husbands. They are influenced by them. And it was allowed only when the Muslims were culturally superior back then. It minimizes the prospects of their being influenced by their wives in the matter of faith. In the present cultural situation it is not recommended for Muslims men to marry Christians or Jewish women, let alone the Muslims women to marry non Muslims.
