DAR AL HARB - U.S.A.: HERE IT IS LADIES & GENTLEMEN: USING THE 1ST AMENDMENT TO IMPLEMENT SHARI'AH IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

I am sure that the A.C.L.U. is working on lawsuits to make all kinds of shari'ah endorsed islamic practices legal in the United States via 1st Amendment fights...

Our very own laws being used against us in order to implement shari'ah/islam in the United States, how ironic...

Are there any legal Beagals that are working on countering this jihad via lawsuit?!?!?

Multiple wives often misunderstood, Muslims say
By CHLOE JOHNSON

While the practice is not legal in the United States, polygamy is accepted in some parts of the world and permitted under certain circumstances in some religions, including Islam.

Abu-Ibrahim Mohamed, a member of the Islamic Society of the Seacoast Area in Dover, said Muslims look to their faith for guidance in life, including a perspective on polygamy. "Islam presents a unique world view and a complete way of life," he said in an e-mail to the newspaper.

Muslims look upon marriage as a scared institution and a serious commitment, he said. Polygamy is a highly regulated contract that multiplies the vows of marriage. So it's an additional challenge for the faithful, he said.

"Many times, polygamy is looked at as man's right to legally marry more than one woman," he said. "This is a totally flawed way of looking at the matter."

He said people should consider looking at it as a woman's right to be cared for and provided for, and to have the full legal rights of a wife.

The Quran regulates polygamy, like other aspects of life, he said. There are conditions that make polygamy permitted at times and prohibited at others, and recommended for some and not others depending on the circumstances, he said. The issue is misunderstood by many, even some Muslims.

Stereotypes also cause misunderstanding. This has led many Muslims in the United States to take a defensive or sometimes apologetic approach resulting in more inaccurate representations, he said.

Mohamed said many Muslim Americans would agree that the outlawing of polygamy is denying certain citizens their full freedom of religion.
