also, an interesting article i found on the internet:
Vatican's wedding warning
It discourages marriages of Catholics and Muslims

I'm not sure about that. Women lead by example, not by dictate (by your own definition of how things are). A "Godly woman" can't help but reflect that Godliness out by her actions. And people take notice, including and especially the man.

Of course the same goes for a Godly man...so it isn't words or decrees that set the stage for influence, it's actions.

My thoughts.

truthful points although i believe very idealistic. it is true that a beautiful flower can bloom in a field, but throw in some weeds and it is overtaken. in america, anyone can be free to choose and practice a religion and it may dictate our reasoning that other countries must enjoy the same freedom. in iraq i do not believe they have the same freedom to choose a different religion than islam and practice it in complete freedom. and in spain, well they ousted all the muslims as best they could, and we all know that government almost completely run by men. so those intermarriages that may have happened never did which they see as a good thing.
again, aside from the uphill battle of setting a good example to an world that does not know Christ. the reality is, people choose what they like, because they want others to like the same thing! it is human nature.
