Let Me Count the Ways I Love You

Nice one Feroze

I am sure Producers and Director of Big Love are in agreement over your article, Dont know if FLDS agree wit hyou or not.... so let me ask mr shahi... is polygymy good or bad?

The author is like the retarded child of the neighborhood. You know his logic and organization of fits and starts brings smiles to our lips. He knows it and we all feel good that he is happy.

Good work!!

LOL hamzaad...you are such an idiot..but funny one

Feroze is a thoughtful, intelligent writer whereas Kulharee isn't.

Keep writing Feroze.

nice article, Kulharee. I agree that it's a difficult question -- if you are for gay marriage, it should follow that you should be for polygamy as well since the same arguments apply to both situations. I think that really does expose some of the weaknesses of the libertarian pov, because it shows that a bit of social engineering by the state in terms of defining marriage is not a bad thing unless we want the US to look like an FLDS ranch which really does not seem like a nice place to live.

Why not raise voice declaring extra-marital affairs illegal? and yes also imprison its practitioners.

Is this about the Kamasutra? I didn't read it thinking it might be part of forbidden knowledge.

Very profound and well written, Kulharee! As mentioned by Mr banneditem, do you watch Big Love?
A mention of Chand Mohammad, aka Chandar Mohan and Fiza, aka Anuradha Bali is appropriate here, even though he gave her a talaaq a few weeks ago.

Most men are monogamous because they can only support one household economically. That's why -- over the ages -- polygamy has been practiced mostly by rich folks. It does not matter what is allowed or proscribed by religion, most people don't pay any attention to religion if they can get away with it. Also, most men are opportunists. Most women are like most men, except they are less secure financially and get fewer opportunities.

BJ2: what if the women earn a living? would the profit-making motive, not to mention the sex drive, cause men to accept polygamy? Shouldnt it then be in the self interest of men to burn boy's schools in Pakistan, destroy male fetuses in India while promoting the education of girls at the same time?

clueless writes "Physical weakness is a boon for women"

There is no such thing, it takes great physical strength to bear a child and great pain to deliver it that can equal anything that men might be able to do with their "strength"- these images are perpetrated by those that want to promote the breadwinner/housewife model of family one that very few people can maintain while in many premodern societies women work like "mules" and when the capitalist system wants to use them as mules then "strength" doesn't become an issue does it- this BS strength business is part trained incapacity and result of division of labor and part politics of gender...

That said Kulharee's purpose in this article is just to disparage Islam out of ignorance and kiss the a$$ of his masters the US elite, the sell out brown sahib that he is. A system based on peace, i.e. Islam, where just compensation for child bearing is made compulsory, where the pains and travails of reproductive labor is recognized, and where women are made just sharers in property and where they are given a voice in household disputes and a chance to end the marital relationship can be considered oppressive to women, compared to any other system. And finally the Quran's statement 'badokum mim baad', the one is as/from the other showing equality of status busts the myths of the brown sahibs and they hypocritical gora sahibs who because they devalued women treated colonized races as is they were women.....God damn them all
