I can't afford one wife, let alone more than one. I guess that those who can afford them......

Muslim men are supposed to treat all of their wives equally. Yea, that works well. Even Mohammad had his 'favorite' wife. Islam attempts to control human nature in too many ways. Controlling human nature does not work very well as all of the irregular warfare throughout the Islamic world would indicate to me. A very high percentage of the population is unhappy enough to risk their lives and wage war with all of the destruction that entails instead of working to make their lives better. After all, it is far easier to destroy than to create.
