Well from what I know, Muslim men are allowed to get married with Christians or Jews though it is strongly discouraged. They can only get married to a Christian/Jew in a Muslim country.
Traditionally Muslim women had only entered marriage with Muslim men. It is not explicitly clear though, whether they can get married to a Christian or Jew.
I believe this is an issue of point of law and interpretation.
As an overview, it is best for Muslims men to marry Muslim women. The Quran strongly discourgaes a Muslim marrying a Christian/Jew. I personally do not see any point getting married to a Christian/Jew, since it is clearly foreseeable problems may arise with this.
