The Qur’an allows a Muslim man to marry chaste women from among the believers and chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture, that is, primarily Jews and Christians.
Muslim women, however, cannot marry non-Muslim men, because it is understood that the woman will become part of her husband’s household.
To strengthen their religion, Muslims in Spain have put up hundreds of posters in a migrant-dominated area that call on their fellow Muslim men to marry Christian women, and then teach them that “Islam is the true religion.”
“It is permissible and encouraged that the Muslim man marries honest and chaste women who belong to the People of the Book. Even though they have distorted and altered the tradition, they are still suitable for marriage,” the poster reads, according to Breitbart, which translated the poster’s content into English from the original report in the Spanish newspaper La Gaceta.
“Brother, enter a partnership with a Spaniard, teach her that Islam is the true religion,” the poster adds. “Islamic law dictates that the fruits of this alliance will follow Islam, which will further strengthen our community.”
The posters have appeared in El Raval, a neighborhood in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona. The area is infamous for its nightlife, cabarets and crime. About half of its population was born abroad, mostly South America, Pakistan, the Philippines and Romania.
The poster, which denigrates Christians, invites members of the community to an “information meeting” to be held on Tuesday at an Arabic restaurant.
Currently, about four percent of Spain’s population is Muslim, more than half of which are immigrants. Some jihadist groups have been calling for a re-establishment of Islamic rule in Al-Andalus.
