thank you lots.. i've been finding for its online version for looooong

Also marriage of Aisha (RA) to prophet Muhammed is also a commonly asked question and 4:34.

And pathetic argument of "Allah is Moon-God" is becoming rather famous too.

Herostratos · **Re: 20 Most Common Questions about ISLAM -** 04-30-2006

Too bad the authors must resort to lies though...

I read about why polygamy was allowed, and after much blah blah blah in familiar muslem style about the other religions doing it too, they claimed that there were more women than men in the society, therefore polygamy was practical. It is statistically correct, but there's lies, ****ed lies and statistics you know..

From birth there are born more men than women. Because men has worse health than women, there becomes more women than men when they are about 50 years old... And women above 50 years rarely get married.

It is true as they say, that there are more men killed during wars than women, but when they are using examples from the western world afterwards, the observant reader will understand something is flawed...

After having read the first answer, I decided I had better things to do.

And as an interesting question: Qatar has 185 males to 100 females; why not allow females to have more than one husband?(No, the answers provided in the FAQ were not logical)

Umm-Layth · **Re: 20 Most Common Questions about ISLAM -** 05-02-2006

It isn't about attacking our tawheed anymore even.

If you carefully examine the questions you can see how it is just about attacking things and bring doubts. They want to start this game with us but you know we can't play by their rules.

We should always turn the tables and call them right back to tawheed so that they have to play by our rules.

well if you look at the world at the time islam came you will find that poeple were marrying way more than 4 women even. it was the custom of the day to have lots of wives
islam actually limited the number DOWN to 4
besides i think children have the rights to know who their fathers are which would kinda be difficult if ur mom had more than one husband...

That means Islam was civilized a thousand years ago. But is todays standard not a little higher?

No problem, new technology makes that possible.

20. Is the Qur an Satan s Handiwork?

never heard this one before

**Ansar Al-'Adl** · **Re: 20 Most Common Questions about ISLAM -** 05-04-2006

Hello Herostratos,
What is 'uncivilized' about polygamy?

As for your question about why polygyny is allowed and not polyandry, there are numerous reasons. First of all, if every person in the relationship wishes to have a child, this is possible in a polygynous relationship as each wife has her child, but it is not possible in a polyandrous relationship as there is only one person giving birth, thus putting all the burden on one individual, which is unfair. A man can spend equal intervals of time with each wife, while a woman would not be able to from pregnancy. At some point humans must acknowledge that men and women are different and they have different bodies, so while one arrangement may work out for men, it may not necessarily work out for women.

Does this answer your question?
