Muslim Brotherhood pushes for Jim Crow-like Laws for Egypt – Christian Men banned from Marrying Muslim Women

From Eric Dondero:

The Muslim Brotherhood has been campaigning for upcoming Egyptian elections on a platform that includes strict adherence to fundamentalist Muslim ideology. In a recent interview party leader Essam Elarian made homophobic statements and "specifically excluded gay rights" from human rights.

But the MB is taking their discriminatory policies one step further. Under MB rule, if they prevail in the elections as is largely expected, Christian Coptic men (and presumably members from any other non-Muslim faith) will be prohibited from marrying or having relations with any Muslim female.

From afrol News, Afrol.com:

At a recent rally attended by about 25,000 people in Tanta, north of Cairo, Mohammed Badie, leader of the Muslim Brotherhood was reported to state that "it is not permissible for democracy to allow what is forbidden (haram) or forbid what is allowed (halal) even if the entire nation agreed to it."

we will not allow under the pretext of national unity that a Muslim woman would get married to a Christian man which violates the Islamic law."

Ironically, as faith-based blog Crosswalk.com reported in 2010, Muslim men across the Islamic world are more than permitted to marry Christian woman, even if the woman are unwilling, and even if they are underage.

Christian girls throughout the Islamic world are being abducted and trafficked for commercial sexual exploitation and coerced into domestic servitude. Equally shocking is that Muslim men are offered financial incentives when they marry a Christian girl - a technique designed by Islamic fundamentalists to convert young girls to Islam forcefully.

Of course, many people would simply call that Slavery.
