Dont do it! Cardinal tells women who want to marry Muslims
06 March, 2009, 08:57

In Portugal, a Catholic Church leader has caused offence by warning women to think twice before marrying a Muslim. The cardinal claims such weddings will only lead to problems.

Portugal may boast a socialist government but it does remain a largely conservative and Catholic country, where growing Muslim immigration has become a thorny issue for Lisbon's Catholic church.

Its leader, Cardinal Jose Policarpo has spoken out with advice for Portuguese women.

Be careful with love, he said. Think twice about marrying a Muslim Because such unions cause a whole host of problems, and even Allah cant tell what might happen.

This has caused a ruffle of controversy among Lisbon's Muslim community. Lisbons Imam Sheikh David says he would never dream of giving such advice to Muslims.

I don't advise Muslims not to get married to a Christian woman just because she is a Christian, he said. No, I tell Muslim men, that you're getting married to a Christian women, so please respect her faith.

Muslims in Lisbon say they do feel integrated in Portuguese society, but now they are worried Cardinal Policarpo's words could incite intolerance and discrimination.

Portugal is an 85 per cent Catholic nation and there are only around 40,000 Muslims in Portugal. Many are immigrants from North Africa.

The cardinal says dialogue is difficult with the Muslim community because "they think their truth is the only truth."

Christians are defending the Cardinal.

Manuel Marujao, a spokesperson for the Episcopal Community in Lisbon said that the cardinal has given no more than just realistic advice to be prudent and cautious about marrying people of different religion and culture and for women to be aware of how women are treated in Muslim society.

@Medieviless Wow, that's how you treat you're converts? I'll blow your house up next, in the NAME OF ALLAH!!!

[Medieviless]

@ILoveBlackMetal100 Again, you biased prick. Why would I want to ''convert you''? Who the fuck cares about you gasbag. If you are interested in knowledge, I'm happy to share information with you, but you're simply bashing something that is far beyond your comprehension. You're not exactly inviting for a discussuion here genius. Even your bid of sarcasm is impervious and dull. So I suggest you focus on your pimples instead of mocking something you will never ever understand.

[ILoveBlackMetal100]

@Medieviless okay, you know what? you converted me. Yay. Now let's go blow up some buildings together :D, maybe rape and beat our women along the ride. Probably be a pedo to a few chicks here and there, awesome right? I know ^^

@ILoveBlackM.. You think you're free? From what douchebag? Ever heard of George Carlin? David Icke? Weep sucker. You have no freakin idea how your life is actually controlled by the worlds elite society aiming at controlling your mind and perception. You believe what they want you to believe moron. I'm the Slave of Allah. Not of your hegemonic anarchistic government like you. So, go find a pornmagazine- which is probably the only thing you can [GRASP], fucking insolent fool.

@Medieviless it's a free world to believe what we want, I know muslims recognise this :)
