Is polygamy the cause of Muslim violence?

The KORAN and the example set by their prophet are the causes of Muslim violence

Muslims are the cause of Muslim violence.

Women tend to civilize men, especially in a culture that recognizes and encourages monogamous marriage. Whenever there is an imbalance, the culture becomes more unstable. Expect China to rear it’s head as this new generation takes over.

I know that polygamy is premitted by Islam, but I wonder how prevalent it really is. Donald Trump or Michael Bloomberge could probably each have 22 wives but that wouldn’t impact the broader society.

But the basic problem (not enough brides for all the brothers) is likely to get worse as sex selection abortions continue in China and now India and possibly even among these ethnic groups in the west.

And when you actually don’t have an equal number of women and men monogamy won’t help.

You’d need women to take multiple husbands and I just don’t see that working out in any but isolated, eccentric, cases.

When a rich man can have many wives and concubines, kept locked in his house as virtual slaves until they die, where does that leave the rest of men?

Angrytown, that's where. So they need a "religion" that directs their anger and frustration outward at infidels, instead of inward at their "betters" who have cornered the market on girls and women.

well polygamy is the major part of the Mormon religion (first principle) and Utah Territory was probably one of the most violent area in North America 1845-1877 for white on white crime during Brigham Young’s reign of terror.....

Muslim men marry their eight year old first cousins who then start producing children at age eleven.

What could possibly go wrong such a Gene Pool?

....”the Muslim world, as usual, is at war with itself”....

Well, as if that’s news. Truly if they aren’t fighting another they most definatley go after each other. And it hasn’t nothing to do with anything but the Islamic law and those who give it to the people as each determines.

It’s a hateful, death cult and that’s all there is to know. You cannot “restore” it for it was and always will be just what it is.

No matter what you take away from Islam it will remain a death cult.

Mormons did practice polygamy and they never blew up people and things...

Article is pretty lame logic...

I always figured that any guy who went polygamous probably got what he deserved (Hell on earth...) but anyway, we also have this... “Variability is one of the virtues of a woman. It avoids the crude requirement of polygamy. So long as you have one good wife you are sure to have a spiritual harem.” ― G.K. Chesterton

judaism permitted polygamy. the article does not mention that. polygamy was widespread in china, japan, among the native peoples in the western hemisphere, classical greece, polynesia, australian aboriginal peoples, and africa well into historical times. in contrast, monogamy in the western world did not come into practice until classical roman times. a literal interpretation of the bible (old and new testaments) reveals to an honest and impartial reader that nothing in the bible forbids polygamy. the contemporary christian view that jesus forbids polygamy did not gain acceptance until christian teachings were modified and adapted to become more attractive to middle class romans.

the article is interesting, but woefully incomplete in its presentation of data and analysis, and i do not sense any correlation, nor any honest attempt to present a case for any such correlation. this is not to say the writer is being deceptive so much as to say that the writer never rises significantly beyond his peers to a level needed to convince me of the premise. ymmv.

Polygamy is one reason Muslims are violent. Young male children getting their butts buggered by horny Muslim adults is another. Being completely controlled by a militant religion that rewards violence is yet another. There is really no reason for Muslims not to be violent. It is the Islamic nature.

Hey, if you have to put up with more than one woman, or if you can’t get one at all because wealthier guys have all got four apiece tied up, I guess you might tend to get a little bit violent.

Does polygamy also explain the Mountain Meadows masacre?
