PREVIEW

Because our country receives people of all nationalities, cultures and religions, you may meet and develop a relationship with a Muslim man. He may be especially attractive because of his dark good looks, education, financial means and the interest he shows in you. You may be excited that you have found the 'tall, dark and handsome man' you have been looking for. His sweet words and attention may blind you regarding the influence of his Muslim religion and culture. Because we have freedom of religion, he may agree that you can keep your religion and you may think there will be no problem with such a marriage. Do not be deceived and become a victim of his religion which has very oppressive rules regarding women=s status and rights. Such a marriage will cause you great heartache.

YOUR STATUS

* Islam does not regard women as equal to men:

1. Women are inferior.

"Men are superior to women." (K 2:228)

There is an Arabic saying that says, "My son comes first, then my horse, then my wife."

2. Women have half the rights of men.

a. in a court as a witness:

"Get two witnesses of men. If not, get a man and two women." (K 2:282)

b. in inheritance:

Mohammed Sayings about Women:

1. Women are the most deficient people mentally and spiritually.

"I have seen no one more deficient mentally and spiritually than women." (B 2:541)

2. Women are bad omen.

"Women, the house, and the horse are bad omens." (B 7:30)

3. Women cause men trouble.

"[O men], I have not left for you an affliction more harmful than women." (B 7:33)

4. Women are unclean.

"If you are coming from a bathroom or have had sex with a woman, do not pray unless you are washed." (K 4:43)

YOUR MARRIAGE

* Islam allows a man to have four wives at a time.

"Marry women you wish two or three or four." (K 4:3)

* Wives are only sexual objects.

"Your wives are like a field. Plow them as often and anyway you wish.(K 2:223) "

* A man can divorce his wife by oral announcement but the wife has no such right. If a woman is divorced from her husband, she cannot lawfully remarry him until she has remarried and divorced from another man. This does not have to be a legal marriage but an arranged marriage of convenience to satisfy the law. The main point is that she must have had sex with another man before she can remarry her previous husband.

"If he (a husband) divorces her (his wife), she will not be lawful to him until she has had sex with another husband.(K 2:230) "

Omar Bin Khetub, Mohammed's 2nd successor, called the man who has sex with a woman to make her lawful to her ex-husband, the borrowed "billy goat".

* Wives are subject to punishment.

Muslim women are raised to believe they are of little worth. They are brain-washed into believing there is nothing better for them.

YOUR CHILDREN

If you marry a Muslim, Islamic law requires that your children be raised Muslim. If he divorces you, Islamic law gives him custody of the children and you will not be allowed to see them.

Islamic law states, "Children of a mixed marriage follow the better of the two religions of their parents.", which is considered Islam, as the Koran states that Islam is the only true religion.

"Islam is the religion that Allah accepts." (K 3:19)

* As long as you remain a Christian, you are not allowed to be the guardian of your Muslim children. If your husband dies, his family gets custody of the children. Under Islamic law, Christian mothers are not trusted to raise their children to be Muslim. The Koran instructs Muslims not to trust Jews or Christians.

"Do not befriend the infidels (non-Muslims)." (K 4:144)

YOUR FUTURE

* If your Muslim husband dies and you are living in a Muslim country, Islamic law would be applied regarding your inheritance.

* If you have not converted to Islam, you will inherit nothing.

* If you have converted to Islam and have no children, you will inherit one fourth of your husband's estate and his parents, brothers, sisters, uncles, aunts and grandparents will divide the rest. If you have children, you will get one eighth of his estate and the children will get the rest, with male children getting twice the inheritance of female children.

THE REAL MOTIVES OF MUSLIM MEN

Do not be naive and become a victim. Very often there is a motive behind such a marriage. While you may be in love, a Muslim man could just be using you to obtain legal immigrant status and citizenship.

DISCUSSION

* You may say, "But my Muslim fiancé does not practice Islam."

You must be warned that Islam is more than a religion; it is a way of life, a complete code of the 7th Century pagan Arabian culture that Muslims want to force non-Muslims to adopt. If there is ever a dispute between you and your Muslim husband, he only needs to travel to a Muslim country and Islamic law, which favor men, would apply.

* You may say, "But my Muslim fiancé is well-educated. He will treat me with respect."

I suggest that you watch the movie "Not Without My Daughter".

It is a true story of an American woman who married a Muslim doctor. This movie is available in video stores. It will enlighten you to the dangerous situation you will be getting involved in. You can see how badly this well-educated Muslim treated her. Also, do you realize that Osama Bin Laden, the leader of the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization, is a well-educated Muslim, a Saudi engineer and Ayman El-Zawahiri, Bin Laden's advisor, is an Egyptian doctor and Mohammed Atef, Bin Laden's military chief was an Egyptian engineer. They were all well-educated Muslims, but they all treated women very badly.
[Time magazine, November 12, 2001, p 62]

It is not a matter of education but culture. The Muslim's mind is ingrained with the teachings of the Koran and his Muslim culture which favor men. It does not matter whether he practices Islam or not.

I once counseled an educated American woman who held a management position at her workplace. She had sometime earlier divorced her American husband. I was shocked to learn that she was engaged to marry a Muslim. When I asked her why, she said, "Muslims let their wives stay home and I would like to be able to stay home." I shared with her what the Koran teaches about women and how she could expect to be treated. She realized she would be treated as a slave. I advised her to find a Christian man. A Christian man would treat her with dignity as he is taught in the Bible, "Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her." (Eph 5:25). A Muslim would certainly treat her according to the Koran and Islamic culture, "Husband, discipline your rebellious wives, beat them and deny them sex." (K 4:34)

As our conversation ended, I asked her, "do you want to be a partner or a prisoner? Is the goal of your marriage happiness?" Happiness! She replied and you are right she added.

Some Helpful Tips

You may fall in love with a Muslim because he is kind to you, well educated and rich. What more could a woman want?

Please do not forget YOUR FREEDOM, your most precious possession next to your salvation. Becoming a Muslim's wife would mean you are sacrificing your freedom.

Reading this tract may be a life saving experience for you and your future children. While you may be shocked by this revelation about the dangers of marriage to a Muslim, every word is the truth.

Following are some helpful tips:

* See the movie, "Not without My Daughter."

* If you hope to have a successful married life, consider finding a Christian man. Start by becoming involved in church. This will help you to find Christian fellowship and may lead you to the man the Lord is preparing for you.

"Do not be unequally yoked together with non-believers. For what fellowship has righteousness with lawlessness and what communion has light with darkness? What accord has Christ with Belial or what part has a believer with an unbeliever and what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For you are the temple of the living God." (2 Cor 6:14-16)

If you are married to a Muslim, never even consider giving up your Lord and Savior Jesus Christ under any situations. To do so, means you are at risk of facing eternal separation from God. "He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides in him." (Jn 3:36)

Do not be naive. Do not become a victim. Your happiness is our concern.

GLOSSARY

* Islam originally is a political revolution led by Muhammad Bin Abd Allah in Arabia in the 7th century. The term was not derived from the Arabic word "salam", which means "peace" as Muslims claim. It was derived from "istislam" which means "surrender or die", the word Muhammad shouted while pursing his opposition. His militant commands and pagan beliefs are contained in the Koran, the book of Islam.

* Mecca is the city in Arabia where Muhammad began his campaign (610-623 A.D.) to gain followers. At that time, because he had no military support, he took no action against people who chose not to follow him.

* Medina is the city in Arabia where Muhammad moved after his mother's tribe offered him military support. In Medina (623-633 A.D.) he and his mother's tribe waged wars to force people to follow them or be killed. In the Koran, one can clearly see the difference in Muhammad's tolerant teachings in Mecca and his harsh teachings in Medina. Today, Muslims continue to wage wars, wherever they have political power, to force people into Islam.

* The Koran is the book of Islam that Muhammad claimed was revealed to him by Allah, the moon god of Arabs.

(K 1:1) stands for (Koran chapter 1: verse 1)

* The Bukhary is a collection of Muhammad's sayings.

(B 1:1) stands for (Bukhary volume 1: saying 1)

* Jihad, the holy war, is the most sacred duty of Muslims and is carried out by militant Muslims, politically known as terrorists. Their goal is to spread Islam by force and, as instructed by the Koran, to kill whoever refuses to convert.
