Muslims Practicing Polygamy in the US

When will the government stormtroopers burn them out? When will the state of Texas come and take their children? Nevermind - they’re not white and are part of the new state-enforced religion.

Could this have something to do with them being illegal immigrants? Maybe? We tend to not care a lot about those people.

As well, they do it “quietly”. They don’t have an entire enclosed compound preventing people from leaving while they practice pedophilia and incest.

The pedo/incest was the main sticking point with the Mormons you know. Did this article mention that the Muslims were doing those things? I must have missed that part.

Oh and most of the article is about the practice of polygamy in Africa.

Umm rape is normal with Muslim Polygamy. Don’t see anybody doing anything about it.

Why is polygamy illegal?

At this point, good question. I’m sure the CA supreme court will soon find that it’s “in the interests of the State.”

That’s a tough one. I mean, if a supreme court can find nothing unconstitutional about same-sex marriage, then surely polygamy’s illegality can eventually be overturned.

I’m not sure, but those laws are probably quite old.

I dunno. Mohammed married little six year old Aisha and took her virginity at 9 while she was “playing with dolls.” Mohammed, being “al-insan al-kamil,” seems to have legitimized the practice amongst Muslims.

I’m sure a cursory investigation amongst US Muslims will turn up some interesting findings due to the practices of their prophet, if anyone in .gov can peel themselves from Saudi bribes long enough to look.

That’s probably true. I’m sure there are at least a dozen or so laws that could be dug up and they’d be completely ridiculous. I’m also equally sure that the moral do-gooders will never let that law be overturned.

I get the feeling you don’t like Muslims very much. Or anyone that looks remotely like someone who might possibly have some Arab blood in them.

Xenophobe much?

EDIT: From Wikipedia - “Colin Turner, a professor of Persian language and Islamic history, states that Muhammad’s marriage, in its historical context, would not have been considered the least improper.

IMO, any pedophile should be tortured & killed, but given that the majority of pedophiles I’ve seen on TV are middle-aged white rednecks… I’ll reserve my judgment on a man who lived hundreds of years ago and did something that was common at the time.

Right is right and wrong is wrong, no matter the historical context. The Qur’an’s argument is that Mohammed is an “uswa hasana”, or an excellent model of conduct. It doesn’t say he’s an excellent model of conduct only for the sixth century.

I get the feeling you’re not really cognizant of my position.

Xenophobia is an undue fear of foreigners. Given the history of Islam, I’d say there’s nothing “undue” about my position.

I wouldn’t know about that, so I’ll let someone else question that. But I’m sure as fuck not going to base my actions on a man-written book, and I don’t think too many Muslims go around chatting up 6 year olds.

My feeling comes from some of your previous posts.

And it’s undue because it seems like you’re basing your fear on stereotypes.

OH MAN, WATCH OUT IT’S A SCARY MUSLIM!!!1!!

Two things Mak: The Quran clearly and unambiguously states that the prophet Mohammed was not perfect. And nowhere does it say anything about chatting up girls, let alone 6 years old.

If you don’t have anything besides ad hominem and ridicule, it’s probably time to end the conversation.

That was more to point out how ridiculous your stereotype of the Muslim world is. Did you even realize that Dave Chappelle is Muslim?

  1. Thank you for clearing that up.

  2. That’s why I said they don’t go around chatting them up.

Could you provide those Qur’anic references please?

Everything I’ve read says the opposite:
