Replying to Paul on Selma

Submitted by Petra (United Kingdom), Mar 28, 2006 at 01:08

Hello Paul. Muslim here from Malaysia.

I think I speak for all the Muslims here that the reason why no one bothers to reply to Selma is because her post is probably a big lie/fraud.Every Muslim know(even a child) that a Muslim man can have only up to a maximum of 4 wives and the polygamous union is best with the consent of the elder wife/wives.Sorry Selma, you lost your credibility therefore made your opinion untrustworthy to say the least.

And just so you know, Islam is probably the first if not one of the earliest religion to recognize women's rights by giving them the right to own land & property, compensation in case of divorce plus alimony and so on.Quite the contrary, Islam respects woman greatly.I was brought up to respect all women especially mothers because that was what my religion taught me and my family.Those who mistreat women are not true, if not good muslims at all.

Good day to you,Paul and any all others who manage to read this.Later
