Outrage is building in Germany after it was revealed that a Syrian refugee is claiming social benefits for his FOUR wives and 22 children. Ghazia A. - whose full name has not been disclosed - fled Syria in 2015 and headed to Germany via Turkey, accompanied by his four wives and 23 children - but one of the daughters has now married and is currently living in Saudi Arabia. According to Muslim tradition, a man is allowed to have up to four wives as long as he can support them financially. Germany does not officially recognize polygamy but is footing the bill for his clan nonetheless.
Ghazia A. fled Syria in 2015 and headed to Germany via Turkey. He has another daughter who married and is living in Saudi Arabia. The refugee had to choose one wife to be his 'official' partner. The 49-year-old is not often at this main home as he visits his other wives. A neighbor of Ghazia told Bild that he is often absent from his 'main' family while visiting other wives and children. 'According to our religion I have the duty to visit each family equally and not to prioritize any of them,' Ghazia A. told Bild. The story has caused a storm on social media. 'Of course, the #Syrian (49) lives with his 4 women & 22 children from #Social benefits, from what else?!' one person noted in a tweet.
A German financial manager released his calculation of what the German state is paying to the entire family annually. On the website of the Employers' Association he estimated that the refugees are getting roughly 360,000 Euro per year. But there is no official confirmation on what they receive.
'I am practically always on my way to be with my family – yet I would gladly like to work,' added Ghazia A. Back in his home country he used to earn money with his car sharing and car service business which covered raising his extended clan. Some people believe the case reflects the 'new reality' in Germany since it opened its doors to over a million people. 'The new reality in the big canton – nice Friday to you all. My neighbour has 4 women and 23 children,' one message said. Another one claimed that the 'the Syrian with 4 women and 23 children is now being sold to us as a new normality.' According to Guido Göbel, a local official in Montabaur, covering the financial expenses for the Syrian family is not easy. However, he said that the case is an 'exemption.'

While it is true that Ghazia A. did try to make that claim, his "needs unit" was finally defined as a family of 7 (one wife and 5 children), according with German welfare law. Just saying.

There is no such thing.

Irrespective of the money issue, the important thing about this example is that it demonstrates why the US, Canada, Britain, France, Germany, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Italy, Australia and New Zealand will be predominately Muslim within 20 years or just one (1) generation.
In order for a culture to maintain it self for more than 25 years , the required fertility rate is 2.11 children per family.
Current birth rates for European white countries is:
France 1.8
England 1.6
Greece 1.3
Germany 1.3
Italy 1.2
It all has to do with the birth rates people.

on a side note, and maybe this will sound racist but i dont really care, but it seems like in general white women just arent as phsysically capable of having numerous children NOW like they used to.

Now I am NOT bashing all Muslims NOR am I putting them all into one basket... I guess I am speaking more about those uneducated, brain washed Muslims in the Middle East and asian countries.... where poverty is a normal accepted way of life for the majority who have been cut off from the rest of the world and here they are now in Europe confused, upset, broke with their 20 children waiting for their hand outs.......

Yes. Entirely different topic though.
Talking about the actual problem is much more expedient then talking about polygamy, wouldn't you agree?

Well, IMO, I disagree with polygamy. If I love someone with all my heart why do I need another one? Isn't one enough? It is for me.
