You are also a Muslim, correct? Islam doesn't seem to have a problem with up to 4 wives. (at a time) Zalis Send a noteboard - 13/10/2010 04:12:44 PM
But then again, they don't seem to treat women very well, either. While Muslim individuals may esteem their mothers & sisters like everyone else, they're legally worth about half of what a man is under Sharia. Between that, female circumcision (which still happens) and how easy it is for a man to divorce... I'm puzzled as to why a woman would want to be a Muslim.

PS - If I'm incorrect in remembering you to be a Muslim, I apologize.
The sword might be grateful to the forge fire, but never fond of it.
