The last I heard we weren't supposed to judge other cultures and push our standards and principles on anyone.
Doubly so with islam.
Let the feminists deal with this one.
I often have mini fantasies about dropping all the feminists and leftists in the middle of a Muslim country.
I’d give it a week before they were begging to come back and close the borders hahaha
He explained to me the line in the Koran that allows multiple wives It reads something like “a man may have more than one wife if he is able to tear them all fairly and keep them happy” The very next line reads “no man can keep more than 1 woman happy”
According to Anas ibn Malik, the Prophet Muhammad used to visit all eleven of his wives in one night; but he could manage this, as he had the sexual prowess of thirty men.
[1] The historian Al-Tabari calculated that Muhammad married a total of fifteen women, though only ever eleven at one time; and two of these marriages were never consummated.
[2] This tally of fifteen does not include at least four concubines. According to Merriam-Webster, a concubine is “a woman with whom a man cohabits without being married”, and has a “social status in a household below that of a wife.”
[3] All of Muhammad’s concubines were his slaves.

I don't really have an issue with polygamy. What consenting adults do is none of my business. I don't know how one can support gay marriage, but then also be against polygamy.
Men are hardwired to sleep with as many women as possible. Women are hardwired to seek out men who are protectors and have resources. Biological facts.
The only issues I've seen with polygamy is that in some communities (think Mormons), they have an issue with elder men pushing out young boys who might be considered competitors for the women.

Might be lucky if they can live for one day much less a week as their persona they think is so cool. I wonder how many will be able to keep that feminists stance without a Hijab and veil to keep that head attached to the body?
