A question to muslim women. I'm talking about polygamy...

I’m afraid, dear Kiprida, that my attitude towards religion (any religion) will insult your feelings so I better break off.

In few words he is saying that he is an atheist!

Not exactly, Tomasito.

Quran
109 The Unbelivers
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

  1. Say: O ye that reject the Faith!
    2.I worship not that which ye worship
    3.Nor will ye worship that which I worship
    4.And I will not worship that which ye have been wont to worship,
    5.Nor will ye worship that which I worship.
    6.To you be your Way, and to me mine.

TomasitoSomeone,

I really don’t care about religious beliefs of a person whom I’m standing face to face and talking. Everybody can be friend of mine. But I would never marry a man who belongs to another religion/ belief, even if I loved him. But it’s a different ‘love story’ :slight_smile:

Islam is my Way, and I’m proud of being a participant of it. To you be your Way, and to me mine.

I don’t understand why you can’t marry a man who belongs another religion. Whe are human beings and we have to consider ourselves first. According to you own words, religion came to divid the human race. The rules that you are now following was constructed by your ancestors and not any god.

Tomasito, bravo! :slight_smile:

Dear Tomasito and Someone supporting Tomasito,

At another post about mate selection I’ve written that I need a homogenious mate :slight_smile: I want him to share my ideas and it’s impossible to love a man who worships to the Sun for me :slight_smile: Also a Muslim guy means a person who follows the God’s rules, not rules of our ancestors, never get drunk and is far away from gambling and drugs!!! It’s a person who will understand what I’m feeling while praying or while fasting! And only Muslim guy can teach our children to all these which we consider the right way.

I don’t say others are bad, but they can’t share my feelings…

Hi someone
I want to become the one

IF my husband accepts :slight_smile:

Mr.Someone I dont why people always talk about polygamy as if it is a sin or something and try to debase of the islam religion you dont have the right to ask such a question because it is obvious that each woman wants to be the only one and not just as a wife but in everything people want to be the one and the best…
I think that behind your question there is a kind of irony…so please before you ask such a question about islam read about it and if there is some thing you dont understand you can ask and we as muslims will try to explain it to you. Do you know why brides wear white dresses??????simply because it is a symbole of purity..what is the purity the white dress refer to? It is the virgin of the bride.. last week I watched Operah Winffry show and she was talking aboute a girl who sells her virginity and why is that???????????beacause it is hard and rarely to find a virgin girl...but in muslim world it is rarely to find an unvirgin girl who is not married,unless she is divorced..so now do you prefer to marry a virgin girl or unvirgin girl? Islam religion is amazing and perfect you just need to understand it...I think to have 2,3 or 4 women is better than making sex with 10 and who knows maybe more and sometimes it ends with a baby that no one would know what is going to happend to him or her but when you get married and have a ababy then you will be responsible of him.In Islam no one can make sex before get married.. The polygamy is not a complicated issue there are rules for it...Is it better for a man to cheat on his wife or to tell her that he wants to get married again and gives the right for his wife to stay with him or asks for the divorce? of course there are reasons for a man to think about gets married again it is not something random.. Dont belive everything you see in media and TVs…muslims are normal humans what you see is just a propaganda…dont think that we are bad or lagging people...I see on tv that they always portrayes muslim women in a bad way, it is true that we are scarfed but we dont wear black and look in an awful way…
and againe there are reasons and rules to be scarfed…
Women study,have fun with her friends and do any thing they want…
And I want to point that not all muslims are real muslims not all of them obligate to the rules of God so if you really want to know about islam you have to read in the right place

Dear Sandy,

Can I answer with a question? Thank you. Why do people always try to arrogate to someone thoughts or ideas which in reality were not meant at all?

Well, I thought that while I don’t break this forum rules I can ask any questions :roll:

Please read my answer above.

Well, it’s slightly offtopic but I’ll answer. I have no preference on this matter. Although… I’d prefer experienced woman not virgin. As I did in reality. My wife was not virgin and I have no discomfort on that matter. She was as free as I was than and it’s OK.

Besides, can anyone tell me why virginity is such a fetish in modern times? What’s so special about it?

Maybe. And I’m almost certain that in sexual questions it’s much more better than e.g. christianity.

I have no doubt about it at all.

Well, here I have some doubts. E.g. can a woman drive a car? I heard that in Emirates husbands present cars to their women which do not have engine. Is that true?

And finally. Dear Sandy, I have no (almost :slight_smile: ) prejudice to your culture. If I ask a question it means that I do it out of curiosity not hostility. You can ask me any questions about my culture and I promise you to answer them frankly (even the most uncomfortable one). :slight_smile:

I am sorry,I am not rude I didnt mean to speak in an impolite way..but acually your question provoked me because there is no doubt about what the answer is going to be. I dont have prejudice to your culture too whatever it is but you didnt ask me about the muslim culture you asked if muslims prefer this or this.... Mabye I answerd in an annoying way because that is enough until when we will still hear about polygamy. you surprised me when you said that you prefer an experinced woman but its your thoughts and belives and I am not as you said that i arrogate your thoughts all what Im saying that if you asked for example why there is polygamy in islam that would be ok for me
About driving cars ,sure we can drive cars I have one so where is the problem,but in some way you are right in saudi arabia women are not allowd to drive I myself dont understand why they cant, but their husbands dont give them cars without engines they give them cars with drivers.. maybe the one who told you that was making a joke...but when they are out of saudi arabia they can drive I have some relatives there and when they come here in Syria they drive and we go out together and have fun..do you see that this question didnt annoy me at all?because I know that media has talked alot about it…

It’s OK, Sandy. What is obvious for you isn’t obvious for me. That’s why I’m asking the question. You see - my answer about virginity was surprise for you but for me it’s obvious :slight_smile:

Sandy,

You have turned so protective of Islam; it’s ok. I am a Muslim too and I know what it’s like to have everyone think that I am retarded just because I cover my hair, but there is no need to turn so hostile; SOMEONE was just asking questions and never forget that people are different; that he - according to Islam - is free to choose his own beliefs.

Someone, if you want to know more about Islam- it’s interesting to read about other religions; you’d better read a translated Qur’an. I look through The Bible all the time. It gives it credibility to know that you are reading from a holy book.

And I’d love to add one more thing, Prophet Mohammed said that when Islam first emerged, it was estranged, and by the end of time will be a stranger again.

Basma,

I know Basma that I was a little bit talking in unfriendly way and I apologized to Someone.
I hope to be friends I like Egyption people too much I a have a friend from Egypt but she lives here in Syria

That is great Sandy

Thanks Honey,
I just said what I belive in
