Re: Love or Desire
I know this is not ur personal opinion, but I disagree with it regardless.
The mufti in the link given said, that Christians and Jews both claim that they believe in one God, therefore marriage to them is permissable (for men), but it is better to marry a muslim.
But surely if a Christian is instilling their belief of the Trinity in their child, or a Jew is denying that Jesus was not the Messiah as 'The Messiah' will be born of natural birth (according to jews) while the muslim is yet claiming both to be wrong, then that alone will be enough to cause conflict between couples where religion comes in. The belief in one God as the scholar said, is not enough.
I am saying this because of the following:
In the Quran Jesus is called the Messiah.
Yet, Judaism says that the Messiah will be born of human parents, and possess normal physical attributes like other people. He will not be a demi-god, and will not possess supernatural qualities. (e.g will not be able to perform miracles as Jesus did) In fact, an individual is alive in every generation with the capacity to step into the role of the Messiah. (see Maimonides - Laws of Kings 11:3)
The Messiah must be descended on his father's side from King David (see Genesis 49:10 and Isaiah 11:1). According to the Christian claim that Jesus was the product of a virgin birth, he had no father -- and thus could not have possibly fulfilled the messianic requirement of being descended on his father's side from King David.

Now read below:
Quran 9:30: The Jews call 'Uzair a son of Allah, and the Christians call Christ the son of Allah. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. Allah's curse be on them: how they are deluded away from the Truth!
[Quran 98:6] Those who disbelieved among the people of the scripture, and the idol worshipers, have incurred the fire of Gehenna forever. They are the worst creatures.
[Quran 98:1] Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, were not going to depart (from their ways) until there should come to them Clear Evidence,-
[Quran 98:6] Those who reject (Truth), among the People of the Book and among the Polytheists, will be in Hell-Fire, to dwell therein (for aye). They are the worst of creatures.
If you look at the verses of the Quran, it tells us amongst other things, that rejectors are the worst of creatures & that they will be condemned to Hellfire. Therefore, again, how is marriage to them allowed?
Judging from the ayahs I have quoted, I do not believe that marriage to Christians & Jews is allowed. Unless someone can provide undisputable evidence to refute what I said, I will continue to stand by my statement.
As marriage to the rejectors and the cursed does look permissable from where I'm standing.
Furthermore, as I said in another post, If I being a muslim were to enjoin partners with Allah (as in christian trinity) na'uthubillah, or reject Quranic teachings, would I be deemed a believer still? Even if I insisted that the Book was given to me too? Would I still be deemed suitable for marriage to a muslim male? I should think not. I'd be a rejector. Isn't that what christians and jews are today? Yet scholars say that marriage to them is permissable!? It doesn't make sense to me.
