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

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?

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.

I don't think so. I think just as many women cheat as men only they are smart enough about it to keep it from becoming known.
Studies show women seek men for the same reasons men seek women. both sexes people of character refrain from ruining a relationship by choice.

The religious police carry a cane with them (no larger than a man's thumb in circumference but the ones I saw had hardwood canes maybe 4 ft long) So if a woman sits down and her dress or Hijab rides up along her leg exposing just a little more than her ankle the rod will descend upon the expose flesh hard enough to get the offenders attention. I never saw someone do anything but grab their leg in pain so I do not know what would happen if they started to mouth off.

In many cases the religious police are dumb as dirt but they can recite the Quran verse by verse as the cane descends.. No joke !
