Why does not a Muslim give his daughter in marriage to a Jew or a Christian?

A Muslim husband respects the origin of his wife's religion, be she a Christian or a Jew, her Book, and her messenger and his faith is deemed incomplete without that. He also gives her the freedom of practicing her religious rituals. The opposite; however, is not true. If a Christian or a Jew believes that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, we can give him our daughters in marriage.

Islam complements and completes the creed. So, if a Muslim wanted to embrace Christianity, for instance, it would be at the expense of his belief in Muhammad and the Qur’an, and he will lose his direct relation with the Lord of the worlds by believing in Trinity and resorting to priests, saints, and others. And if he wanted to embrace Judaism, it would be at the expense of his belief in Jesus and the true Gospel, although none is allowed to embrace Judaism, in the first place, because it is a national religion, not international one, and it is the epitome of ultranationalism.
