[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the poster and others who wanted to know why WOMEN are converting to Islam….

Please keep in mind, I do not think there is anything wrong with Christianity, nor is my purpose to proselytize. This is not to say Muslims don't proselytize. They do as do Christians. But that's not my intention here. From the Muslim standpoint, good Christians are going to Heaven too.

I simply saw another Muslim woman, Muslima being harassed and saw inaccuracies posted by our rabid Islam haters. So I simply want to dispel myths and also to explain the reason why people are converting.

[b]Please remember I have not confirmed all of the statements in this article. [/b]

In The Koran, God limits the number to 4 only under certain situations (with the wife's permission)and prefers you marry only one wife {Koran 4:3} The Koran gives the woman the right to choose who to marry.

I'm glad you acknowledge you can't confirm all the statements in that article. Because the bit about requiring the permission of the first wife to all others is absolute nonsense. Unless you mean permission of other wives to marry each of them. In that case, you are correct that Islam requires the woman's consent for marriage.

But consent of the first wife is not required for all subsequent marriages.[/quote]

[b]Here's the deal. The man must deal justly and fairly between wives if he has more than one. This is a requirement. Yet the Quran then says:
Quran (4:129) - "Ye are never able to be fair and just as between women, even if it is your ardent desire." This underscores that a man is not able to treat multiple wives fairly.  So the Quran permitted it in 600 AD yet put requirements that only practically a saint would be able to meet.[/b]

[b]See, this is why you need to study the Quran well. You clearly haven't. [/b][/quote]
Then why not just say it outright? Why introduce BS like "permission of first wife required"?[/quote]
