[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I mean...pretty much. I studied Islamic history in HS, there were a lot of good 'reasons'  back THEN for the ways of life prescribed in the hadith--such as the fact that widows had no protection so it was an act of compassion for men to take on many wives. In much the same way, some of the old testament proscriptions against pork.  The difference is--abstaining from pork does not do damage today. Treating women HORRIBLY, killing people (salman Rushdie--fatwa) who question the hadith does. Honestly, from Saudi Arabia to honor killing in western transplant communities... something's gotta give.[/quote]
Stop repeating propaganda.  There is nothing, literally nothing in the Quranic rules on polygamy that casts polygamy as an act of mercy to widows, or encourages marriage to second wives who are widows.  [/quote]

The poster to whom you are replying didn't even mention the Quran. But, you really showed that straw man you are debating.

I'm not debating anything, just correcting someone with little knowledge.  The hadith has no guidance on marrying widows as second wives, either. This is a trope invented and repeated often by Islam's evangelists. It has no scriptural basis, not in the Quran, not in the hadith.

And the poster clearly means the Quran when she says the hadith - Rushdie wasn't threatened for questioning the hadith, you know. [/quote]
I question the quality of your Islamic Studies/Islamic Sciences if today, you are unable to see that governments are redefining a religion to control people. The history of Islamic Science and Islamic civilization is far different than we see today. You should really be able to see that if you have studied it but, perhaps Political Islam wasn't part of your curriculum either.[/quote]
I didn't talk about any of this, have at it if you like. I am simply pointing out the mistake in the first post - polygamy scripturally is not about providing protection for widows, and marrying widows as second wives is not prescribed by either hadith or Quran.  As for everything else, have it your way. [/quote]
