Is prohibiting a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim considered racist?

 Responding to the suspicion:

1- It is true that Islam permits a Muslim man to marry a non-Muslim woman (Christian or Jewish) and does not permit a Muslim woman to marry a non-Muslim. At first glance, this is considered inequality, but if the real reason for this is known, the surprise will disappear, and the illusion of inequality will disappear. There is an Islamic point of view in this regard that explains the wisdom behind this. All Islamic legislation is based on a specific wisdom and a real interest for all parties.
2- Marriage in Islam is based on "affection and mercy" and psychological peace. Islam is keen to build the family on sound foundations that guarantee the continuity of the marital relationship. Islam is a religion that respects all previous heavenly religions and makes belief in all previous prophets an integral part of the Islamic faith. If a Muslim man marries a Christian or Jewish woman, the Muslim is commanded to respect her faith, and it is not permissible for him - from the Islamic point of view - to prevent her from practicing the rituals of her religion and going to church or temple for that purpose. Thus, Islam is keen to provide an element of respect from the husband for his wife's faith and worship. This guarantees and protects the family from collapse.
3 - However, if a non-Muslim man marries a Muslim woman, the element of respect for the wife's faith is missing. The Muslim believes in the previous religions and the previous prophets of God, and respects and reveres them, but the non-Muslim does not believe in the Prophet of Islam and does not recognize him, rather he considers him a false prophet and believes - usually - all the slander and lies that are spread against Islam and against the Prophet of Islam, and there are many of them.
Even if the non-Muslim husband does not state this to his wife, she will continue to live under the burden of a feeling of disrespect from her husband for her faith. This is a matter in which words of appeasement and compliments are of no use. The issue is an issue of principle. The element of mutual respect between husband and wife is the basis for the continuation of the marital relationship.
4- Islam was logical with itself when it forbade a Muslim man from marrying a non-Muslim woman who follows a religion other than Christianity and Judaism, for the same reason it forbade a Muslim woman from marrying a non-Muslim.
A Muslim only believes in the heavenly religions, and all others are human religions. In this case, the element of reverence and respect for the wife’s faith - apart from pleasantries - is missing. This negatively affects the marital relationship, and does not achieve the “affection and mercy” required in the marital relationship.



It would have been better for them to reproach their Lord in the Old Testament, which forbade this.

Deuteronomy (Chapter 7: Numbers 1-4)

When the Lord your God brings you into the land which you are entering to possess, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you, and the Lord your God delivers them over to you, and you conquer them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall not make a covenant with them, nor show them compassion , nor make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor take his daughter for your son. [align=left

According to the Targum of Jonathan, whosoever marries with them, it is as if he married with their idols :

and this law , according to the Jewish writers (c), is binding with respect to other nations besides the seven; and whosoever marries any Heathen, of whatsoever nation, is to be beaten .





Exodus 34 (verses 15-16)

Beware lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they fornicate with their gods and sacrifice to their gods; and you be called and eat of their sacrifices,
and take of their daughters for your sons, and their daughters fornicate with their gods and make your sons fornicate with their gods.




And in the Book of Ezra: Chapter 10 (verses 2-3)

Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra: [ Behold, we have been unfaithful to our God, and have taken strange women from among the peoples of the land. But now there is hope for Israel in this.
Let us now make a covenant with our God, to cast out all the women and those who were born of them, according to the counsel of my lord, and those who fear the commandment of our God, and to do according to the law.


Then they separated from these women, as in the rest of the chapter, after Ezra had met with the elders: in fulfillment of the commandment.

And the book says about this: -
Ezr 10:19 And they gave their hand to cast out their wives, offering a ram of the flock for their iniquity.





 A Muslim woman who married a Christian, what will be her situation?

He will force her not to wear the hijab and ask her to resemble unveiled women.
He will force her to attend mixed events and sit with his brothers, his sisters' husbands, and other men.
The Muslim woman will be forced to purify pork and prepare two glasses of wine at the request of her husband at the dining table. She may force herself, or he may force her, to eat meat and drink wine.
She will be forced to go with him to church to baptize their children... because the children follow the religion of their father and the father will not accept them embracing a religion that he does not recognize. The

Muslim woman will find herself with a pagan cuckold who does not fear God in her (because he simply does not know God) and does not recognize her religion or her prophet, just as Muslims recognize the revelation of the Torah and the Gospel and the prophets, peace be upon them... So who after that would want a non-Muslim husband except a non-believing woman?
