…[Home] and family environment will be maintained according to Islamic teachings and children will be raised as muslims and they will not be allowed to take any lessons or training from any other religion nor they will attend church or synagogue [italics added for emphasis]. After they become adults, they are free to choose.

I did not respond to your earlier inquiry, it may have been one of my colleagues. In the Qur'an, chapter 5 verse 5 permits a Muslim man to marry a Christian or a Jewish lady provided she is a chaste woman and he has paid dues to her as is her right.

Your question assumes that Qur'an is the only source of legislating a Muslim life. It is not true. The other source of Islamic legislation is teachings of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) called Hadith or Sunnah. Teachings that come from the Sunnah have the same weight as that of the Qur'an. For example, the Qur'an teaches that Muslims should do prescribed prayers (Salah) in the morning, afternoon and at night but it does not say how many times nor it tells you how to do it. We learn from the Prophet that we are required to pray five times a day and how to do it. Similarly, there are techings about Zakat, Fasting, Hajj, inheritance, business dealings and others which are explained by the Prophet.

Prophet Muhammad said that a man is accountable to Allah for his family. He is the provider, the nurturer, the educator and the trainer of his wife and children. He has the responsibility to raise his children as Muslims and teach his wife Islam. Even in the case of marrying a Christian or a Jewess he has the responsibility to raise his children in Islam and teach Islam to his wife as much as she is willing to learn. He is not allowed to force her to convert to Islam. He should give her freedom to practice her religion, such as going to the Church or synagogue. However, she will not be allowed to bring liquers (alcoholic) home or come home drunk or bring pork and other unlawful things. [Note: This implies that Islam views the non-Moslem wife and mother distrustfully, as a corrupting influence on the family - IM]

When children are born they are Muslims by nature - it is God-given thing. It is their parents and the society they grow in make them Christians, Jews, Hindus, etc. God wants all people including growing children to submit to His Will and serve Him all their lives - this is Islam by definition. It means Allah wants all people to be Muslims. However, Islam teaches to respect other religions while recognizing that only Islam is the True Religion revealed by God to mankind. What we call Christianity Judaism, Hinduism were all Islam before they were corrupted by their followers over the centuries.

The non-Moslem wife is the last generation of non-Muslims, and unwittingly becomes a baby-making machine to further Islamic goals of world domination.  Islam runs roughshod over the preferences of the non-Moslem wife and her family of origin.

Islamic Monitor urges non-Moslem women to resist the enticements, blandishments, and seductions of Moslem men. If you are lacking in self-esteem and self-respect, muster all the willfulness you can to resist, and work to maintain your dignity and propriety and build your self-esteem and self-respect. The losses are temporary, but you will save yourself from further undermining and future regret.
