Utah has lots of open space. Maybe we should move all muslims to it.

There's a lot of pagan liberals practicing polygamy/polygyny/polyamory these days. I hope the courts will pursue them and not just the Mormons.

"TruthBearer.org, a polygamy rights organization"

Of course. There just has to be a polygamy rights organization.

No just the one's in the US that think sharia law should be the order of the day.

Most american men are polygamists of the wost type. They marry them one at a time and then cast them out one at a time.

They still have multiple wives in adulterous relationships.

Funny also how it is legal to live with a dozen women and get them all pregnant, but if you try to make a legal committment to them they will haul you off to jail. LOL.

Such hypocrisy.

Outlaw divorce and then you will stop the vast majority of polygamists (multiple wives, one at a time)

Naaahhhh, what would make them think that?
They will never fall below NAMBLA for their pedophilia. It's safe to assume they will remain in similar company regardless of Jeffs.
LOL, damn some peoples stupidity make me laugh.

That's what I thought! There is also the welfare grifting angle to the Jeffs group that has applied to other Polygamists. That won't make them popular either.

"Harms Image" Do ya think? They're kidding, right?

To go after another angle in the article, I *do* agree that putting Jeffs on the "Top 10 List" just proves, as if it needed proving, how political the FBI really is.

Utah isn't the only place where polygamy is being practiced.

I can assure you that polygamy is prcticed in all 50 states. It is just better kept under covers than in Utah. Their are almost as many polyigamsit in Arizona as in Utah

Polygamists should seek treatment for masochistic tendencies.

1 wife is enough to deal with, but 5 wives...

No way.

Better be glad you were not Solomon. He is said to have had 700 wives and 300 concubines.

"May you have 5 wives" should become a curse.

Of course, he also had the divine right of kings. No nasty divorces, alimony, custody fights etc.

Agreed. Serial polygamy is just fine in Hollywood.
