Kirsty I suggest you do a little bit of research. Pologamy was "formally" abolished in the Church of the Latter Day Saints in 1890. However, you can find MANY examples of it in the USA

Quoting AEnigma III: Do you deny that pologamy exists in the Church of the Latter Day Saints? |
In some rare cases it exists. However, over the years this has been frowned upon by most members of the Latter Day Saints.

Not frowned upon Teachip, but ILLEGAL!!! However, it doesn't seem to stop them all in Salt Lake City
This was ONE example of mine about sexism in religions such as the Latter Day Saints. There are many more

I watched the series 'Big Love' a few times, it was a sort of drama series, about a mormon-family in the USA. It was horrible, the guy had 3 wives, but they all seemed to want it that way. They had this sort of sister-relationship with each other, and the man spend each night in someone elses house. They would argue who got the news about his promotion (in career) first, who was the best mom etc, but still they accepted their position and even seemed to like each other!!
Ofcourse this was a very one sided 'dizi', but I was still shocked that this exists. For me, jealousy and selfishness are healthy in a certain proportion in a love-relationship. Some things are not to be shared. They obviously think otherwise.

You are wrong. Another example of you being very opinionated about something you are mis-informed about. Yet stating it like it is fact

Quoting Cacık: Quoting elham: Isn't it remarkable how headscarves always bring all the anti-Muslims out in droves? Maybe they can explain: |
Hi Elham - firstly thanks for calling me an anti-Muslim. Isn't also amazing that you consider all who think that time-wasters of tax-payers money and court time are naturally anti-Muslim. I could care whether this girl was Muslim or Hindu, Christian or Jewish, the fact remains that many jobs require certain things, and in this world too many people are jumping to sue when they think anything is against them. Let me ask you what would happen then if I, non-covered person were to ask for a job in a place that requires me the wear a headscarf, would I have any chance in court fighting against it - probably not. Secondly I would not even go for the job because I know it would be pointless.
Secondly, many of my closest and dearest friends and family are Muslims (and many I might add being covered ladies whom I love) and I love them deeply and unconditionally and have a very good understanding of their values and thoughts as do they of me and mine. Many times their viewpoints are no different to mine. |
There are laws about discrimination for good reason. As long as the way you dress isn't too way out, how would you feel if you were denied a job because of the way you dress, or how long your hair is. There is too much discrimination in the world and these kind of laws are there to protect us from such prejudice. Good for her for standing up for her rights and I for one have no objection about my taxes going towards protecting people's rights.
