East is East part 2 What are the issues? Marriage outside your religion. Homosexuality Domestic violence Divorce Arranged marriage

What do Muslims think? What are the issues? Marriage outside your religion and arranged marriage Homosexuality Domestic violence Divorce

What do Muslims think? What are the issues? Marriage outside your religion. Muslim men are allowed to marry Jewish or Christian women (children of the book) but they would expect them to become Muslims. Muslim women should marry Muslim men. Arranged marriage are not part of the religion they are more to do with the culture of the individual.

What do Muslims think? What are the issues? 2. Homosexuality Muslims say that homosexuality is a sin against God. "Of all the creatures in the world, will ye approach males, And leave those whom Allah has created for you to be your mates? Nay, ye are a people transgressing (all limits)!"  Would ye really approach men in your lusts rather than women? Nay, ye are a people (grossly) ignorant! 

What do Muslims think? What are the issues? Domestic violence Men have authority over women because God has made the one superior to the other, and because they spend their wealth to maintain them. Good women are obedient. They guard their unseen parts because God has guarded them. As for those from whom you fear disobedience, admonish them and send them to beds apart and beat them. Then if they obey you, take no further action against them. Surely God is high, supreme.

What do Muslims think? What are the issues? Domestic violence admonish them: The husband is to verbally admonish her send them to beds apart: If that fails the husband is to sexually desert his wife beat them: If both measures above fail the husband is commanded to beat his wife.
