It does happen - the danger is very real in a misogynistic 'cultures' I do not know enough about Islam to know that this is why women have less rights in such countries - perhaps in certain offshoot groups..... If the culture/religion says that women have less rights then the warning signs are there. We never believe that it could happen to us/ to our marriage. Life has a way of dumping you on your head though. Even a different country and the same religion is dangerous. I no longer beleive that you should take such risks - too many mums and kids going through this - There is an organization called child-find for just such things.

As the psychology and position in society and the household are different for the two sexes, so are the rulings regarding each. In the case of marriage, it is commonly recognized in virtually all cultural groups that the man is the head of the household. That is not to say that there isn't power-sharing between the spouses which varies from place to place and family to family, but men tend to have a dominant position within families generally. In light of this fact, Muslim women are not allowed to marry Jewish or Christian men for fear that they will have a certain amount of dominance over them and their children which may preclude them from practicing Islam. There is no guarantee stipulated within either of these religions which allows a wife of another faith to practice her religion freely. On the other hand, A Muslim man is required by Islamic law to not hinder his Christian or Jewish wife from practicing her faith. As to the expansion of empire idea, I would think "the more the merrier" would apply. If all the Muslims married anybody else, irrespective of faith, wouldn't that lead to this expansion faster? And yet, there are limitation for the specific reasons mentioned earlier. In addition, the exception for Christians and Jews is due to the similar beliefs and values that are shared as opposed to other faiths. On the demographic front, it is a good thing that there are far more single Muslim men coming to America than there are women or families. So there is some balance to the numbers in terms of pairing. Finding enough husbands to go around here in the American Muslim community is not much of an issue and neither is polygamy.

Look Bunny. Your question is quiet racist:
You said:
American woman
Muslim man
Why you identified the woman as American (without mentioning her religion) and the man as Muslim (without mentioning his nationality)??
Why didnt you say: A christian/Jewish/athiest woman?
It is quiet sad that that woman got divorced and was denied the right to see her kids. But let us be neutral. Before judging a case like this one should first know why divoirce took place. May be the woman was mistaken and it served her right, and may be the man was a worthless guy. In all cases you can't judge a whole race by the deeds of a person.

Probably a bunch, but then again you could make a fortune betting on the stupidity of American women when picking guys.
Since American women usually go through their share of loser American men who will ruin their credit, sleep with all of their girlfriends, and beat them up, until they finally get smart and find a decent guy, it shouldn't be surprising that they would go after Arabic guys who will essentially do the same thing.

All true and lasting solutions to women's problems are found in the Qur'an. Islam, which was revealed to guide humanity to salvation, genuinely values women. Many verses protect women and their rights, for the Qur'an eliminated the prevalent misguided stereotypes of women and gave them a respectable position in society. Our Lord teaches that superiority in His presence is based not on gender, but rather on one's fear and respect of Allah, faith, good character, devotion, and dedication to Him. Allah has revealed the steps that women need to take to ensure their protection and respect within society, and for them to find the love and dignity that they deserve. All of these measures benefit women and seek to prevent damage to their interests or any form of oppression and unnecessary stress.
