  • Again it is a one way street. Muslim men may marry a women of the Christian or Jewish faith. Muslim women may only marry within their Islamic faith.

    In the book “Paramedic to the Prince” the author was dating a Muslim girl. When he asked her if her family would approve. she said if they knew she would be killed.

    So much for tolerance.. If you want to read a good book about saudi from a westerner who spent ten years inside the country. Including being on the medical staff of King Abdullah. Well worth a read.
