    Libya's new regime in two swift strokes contradicts the Western Islamic apologists who claim that there is no contradiction between Islamic law and American law. "Libya's liberation: interim ruler unveils more radical than expected plans for Islamic law," by Richard Spencer in the Telegraph, October 23

    Honestly, I don't have a problem with polygamy. Marry however many people you want to, as long as they're consenting adults...

    Banning interest is tempting when observing the behavior of some creditors.

    Aside from that, yes, having a Sharia based system is a bad idea.

    Yep. If people figure that they are better off with many spouses, then they should go for it.

    I've a great deal of SYMPATHY for any man dumb enough to lumber himself with more than one wife.
    Jeez , I just barely managed keeping up with one, bless her. :)

    As for "interest on loans " I was told Gaddafi had already banned interests on loans/usury ages ago . If not , then when was it re-introduced ?


    btw - polygamy worked successfully for many centuries throughout Africa + many other parts of the world. It beats western adulterous hypocracy .

    that's because your wife is equal to you socially and is most likely a heck of a lot smarter and better educated than you'll ever be ;) On the other hand a woman under sharia law is an oppressed subservient person. In the western world having several wives is like having several bosses indeed, under sharia law having several wives is like having several servants.

    Only people who are unable to see the forest behind the trees condone this stuff. Regardless of how you view polygamy, Libya is quickly and unapologetically moving toward a theocracy ruled by Islamic shariah laws.

    A bit like , Israel - right ?

    Israel is moving towards becoming a right wing lunatic Theocracy like Iran soon.

    With more and more religious parties involved in the Knesset and gaining power through a corrupt coalition government, the chareidim are becoming bolder and bolder in passing more laws to benefit themselves and to run the lives of all Israelis. They have already managed to takeover the Ministry of the Interior, all life-cycle events, etc. When will Israel wake up and kick the bums out of the government and cease to fund their Rabbis and parasitic Yeshivah students and their families'

    MANY MORE SIMILAR reports from some Israeli dailies - including UK edition of Jewish chronical.

    I've learned to differentiate between the wishes of a tiny fringe segment of a free society which have zero chance to ever become law and legal decrees of a state's government which is turning that country into a fundamentalist sharia-based theocracy.

    "Free society " my eye -

    A society where marriage laws are dictated by Rabbis ? For starters - Can a Jew legitimately marry a Christian in your Israel's "Free society " ???

    How "free " is a Jewish woman whose husband have left her , to remarry if the estranged husband refuse giving her a GET ?

    What's the legal position in Israel of a SHIKSA ?



    GERTCHA .:rolleyes:

    "According to Shariah law, enemies' wives should be raped and they have started raping these women already,"

    "We didn't send our troops, our pilots to help in the liberation of Libya in order to see any one group in Libyan society oppressed," interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae said. "The liberation of Libya means the liberation of Libyan women as well as Libyan men."

    Homa Arjomand of the International Campaign Against Sharia Court in Canada said the wives of men who worked under the Gadhafi regime as pharmacists, teachers and other occupations are already being targeted for rape.

    "According to Shariah law, enemies' wives should be raped and they have started raping these women already," Arjomand said. She said adopting an Islamic state like Iran would mean a lifetime of oppression. "Women would be segregated from men and would be under complete limitations - from schools, to swimming, to dances, forcing them to marry at a younger age, to putting them in polygamous relationships."

    In its most Liberal interpretation, Shariah law prohibits pre-pubescent girls from showing their faces and forces women to wear hijabs in public.
    Homosexuals could be executed and adulterers stoned. Men can marry multiple partners.

    Racism, religionism, and regressivism seem to form the basic principles of the new "liberated" Libya.

    Hooray for Libya - I want Polygamy here! Can I have 300 wives and 700 concubines like Solomon? Yipee! Whew! Okay...stop -- too many women - I am exhausted! Let me sleep ladies please!!!

    And no interest on loans? Awesome!!! Friends don't charge interest against friends. Clearly, the US government and it's predatory economic system is NOT our friend. Interest is supposed to be only charged to foreigners.

    Polygamy is an abuse of women. So I most certainly have a problem with it.

    Funny how it always involves the right to have many wives but not husbands. Wonder why? :bored:

    BTW banks that don't charge interets, charge fees. No difference in essence

    Libyans shall be equal before the law. They shall enjoy equal civil and political rights, shall have the same opportunities, and be subject to the same public duties and obligations, without distinction of religion, belief, race, language, wealth, kinship or political or social opinions.


    (there is a lot of meanspirited envy here... Even some of our Arab friends want every Arab country to descend into chaos and poverty if their Arab Spring revolutions flounder)

    The purpose of polgamy wasn't sex..

    Mohammed forbid the exposure of infant girls.. which was common practice all over the ME..

    Polygamy was to insure that every female would have the protection of a family, clan and tribe.. It was essential to survival in such a harsh and barren land.

    I agree wit DCSideboard that polygamy is a very bad idea.

    Not so much about consenting adults as it is about girls raised in this environment.

    Also our examples of polygamy practiced in this Country by Morons, er, I mean early Mormons and current fundamentalist morons show abuse of girls who are brainwashed and coerced into marrying in their teens men who are in their 40's and above.

    No keep your sharia BS, better yet, roll it up and shove it where the sun does not shine.

    Have you ever considered ascertaining the facts?
