America’s FATWA On Marriage

The idea of a marriage being one man and one women has a target on it. The usual group of suspects have been chipping away, gaining ground on building a new ‘awareness’ of marriage expansion that is going on all around the world and her in the United States. Then Wizbang - there was just one more player in the picture. It was one I had not given much thought to but has tremendous clout due to fear of ‘offending’ their beliefs.

Who is this new marriage expanding power? Muslim Polygamy in American. Debbie Schlussel in her article points out that while Mormons (who mostly don’t practice polygamy) are subject to ridicule, it is absent when it comes to Muslims.

The fact is there are Muslim men with multiple wives living everywhere in America. But unlike the Mormons–most of whom don’t practice polygamy anymore–Muslims with multiple wives aren’t subject to ridicule, like HBO shows or Jay Leno jokes. And they aren’t prosecuted, like Mormon Tom Green was.

Another blog raises two questions about liberals support for polygamy. Though a majority of Americans oppose polygamy this was the same situation toward same sex marriage 20 years ago.

Schlussel also makes this statement about the government’s approach to this issue, which is disturbing piece of information.

While our government recognizes these marriages for Muslims, it enforces polygamy laws against everyone else. In Dearborn, Michigan–Islamic America’ nucleus–statutory rape cases have been dismissed on the grounds that there was a marriage (of a 14-year-old girl! in one case) in the eyes of the mosque.

Wizbang sums it up this way.

So, American law has become subjugated to Islamic law. And according to law enforcement, the free practice of Islam includes the statutory rape of little girls. I don’t like where this is going.

Either people come here to become a part of American laws and way of life or we shall become a part of theirs. This never was a question before. It is now.
