Can a Muslim Woman Marry a Non-Muslim Man?

One perception that prevails (wrongly) amongst Muslim circles is that Islam permits Muslim men to marry non-Muslim women but the reverse is forbiden. Dr. Imam Khaleel Mohammed is a scholar who sharpens his critical reasoning when reading religious scriptures. Unlike most Muslim scholars, he understands that Koranic interpretations must not be static but evolve with time and space; not misogynistic but gender progressive. Dr. Mohammed argues, succinctly, that a Muslim woman is permitted to marry a non-Muslim man.
