Good comment on the Saudi girl's issue of freedom and her relationship to God.
I really liked it. It's probably the story I've read from you.
Whereas Muslim men are allowed to marry women from among the followers of another
revealed religion, Muslim women may not marry non-Muslims: the reason being that Islam enjoins
reverence of all the prophets, while the followers of other religions reject some of them -
e.g., the Prophet Muhammad or, as is the case with the Jews, both Muhammad and Jesus. Thus,
while a non-Muslim woman who marries a Muslim can be sure that - despite all doctrinal
differences - the prophets of her faith will be mentioned with utmost respect in her Muslim
environment, a Muslim woman who would marry a non-Muslim would always be exposed to an
abuse of him whom she regards as God's Apostle.
In the case of a muslim man who is like above he also should not be married.
Hope that answers your question.
