So I gather from reading this that the time is 'almost' ripe for having more than one wife in the old pirate kingdom...and no more usury interest at the bank?
Interesting article btw, and just where does the Times stand with folks here?
O'h...as a thought, I've been maried seven times...but never all at once...now that would have been interesting, a nightmare but interesting anyway.
:cool:

Would you be so good as to explain what is or is not British culture lukesh? It's not a legislative change either, merely a changing of the Inland Revenue's rules. To be honest my personal thinking on this matter is that people should be able to label whoever they want as their next of kin; male, female, sexual partner or not; hell even their sister, brother or friend if that's what they want.
If Muslims live in Britain they have to accept that they live under British law. ‘Muslim leaders campaigning to incorporate sharia into British domestic law’ should either move to one of the many countries where sharia law is incorporated into domestic law (worth noting that not one of them is a democracy) or they should accept British law like most if not all other minority religions have in the UK.
British Jews have never as far as I know demanded the incorporation of Jewish law into British law. Nor have Sikhs. Or Hindus. I see no reason to treat Muslims differently.
Government stuff should be kept secular where possible anyway in my opinion.
Moonrat- Enjoy!
Disillusioned- the laws have been bended to suit Jews, Muslims and Sikhs in the past (kosher and halal slaughter, turbans rather helmets for motorcyclists, certainly more examles). Surely the point is that minorities might more appropriately have to accept the views of the majority, rather than the other way round?
Within Islamic culture, youll find that the bulk of adherents follow monogomous practices, with exceptions solely amongst the ruling elite (which in any culture bend any and all rules and traditions to serve their own desires).
Beyond this, polygamy is practiced much more widely in non-muslim tribal cultures and can be found to predate the birth of Islam. American Indians frequently practiced polygamy as have tribal groupings across the globe.
Let us recall that the Mormons themselves (fully of white Anglo-Saxon heritage) practiced polygamy (and some offshoots continue to do so to the present day).
Just as with the typical slanted and selective focus of mainstream claims about female circumcision being an "Islamic practice" (which in reality it is not save for a few exceptional cases), this is just another issue intended to further prejudice the largely misinformed public toward the media's new whipping boys.
Perfect! Isn't C articulate!
Diesel I think you do swallow the mainstream media's bogus claims about a global islamic threat.
what have you got to say about that luke
look, there's a tumbleweed floating past.
Judaism as a religion allows polygamy. It's as a culture that it is prohibited.
yup
this is in my opinion a bad moe since you cant make exception for one group and another, thats why long term gay couples deserve same rights as married couples
if im not allowed to marry more than one wife, hy should someone else be entitled to those benefits
i think he said "yup" in relation to what you said, then said that why should muslims be allowed to get benefits because of their culture whereas non-muslims shouldn't, i think thats what he meant
oh i changed topic, sorry, i was on about the article after the 1st line
shouldnt have one law for one group and one for another, i cant have another wife, so why should a guy whose got multiple brides be allowed to have tax breaks
What is British culture? Christianity has only been around for a short time compared to the practices of the native Britons... Most of the food we eat isn't British in origin (unless you eat a Sunday roast every day, to which I'd say you're a very lucky man), most of the music we listen to ain't British and besides... aren't the government and the Church supposed to be seperate?
Why is that greedy? If you can love a member of the same sex, why can't you love two people? Why isn't polyamoury legit?
It's not greedy loving who you love is it?
You can get mops with screw on heads... so take the head off a mop & wear it.
Folks in Holland appear to be having some second thoughts about diversity, particularly islamic diversity.
Things just aren't looking good on the diversity front these days...but ~
:eek:
So what exactly *is* 'British culture'? If you can't define it then how do you defend it? You are right that 'our culture is being constantly changed' of course; culture is a constantly shifting thing. Why should 'marriage' only be between two people anyway? What if three people live together in a loving relationship? By all accounts this is a change in the taxation system so don't blow it up into 'chnage our calendar into an islamic one' (sic).
If Muslims do not like the existing laws here - simple answer!
As for more than one wife...we, the 'enlightened' ones, in the Oxident tend to practice polygamy...but it's serial poligamy. One wife at a time. I can't imagine living in thehateful mess that having four at home would be...I do love the ladies but four at once is just more work than the whole 'relationship' issue is worth.
:cool:
I presume your "simple answer" is that they should deal with it the same as any resident who doesn't like existing laws.......
Right?

This little phamplet is being circulate here in an effort to display 'reasonableness' and such...too many "modalities" as the Nigerians say.
:eek:
this law is absurd cause its one law for some and one law for others
im not allowed to have more than one wife, so why should someone else be allowed to have the same tax breaks for multiple wives
simple fact is that its unequal and doesnt represent the people of this land
they should stop tryin to appease religious groups with gestures that are an insult to our legal system and principles that this country was founded upon much liek they should stop trying to appease the rabid right wing press that would favour chips in our necks that explode when we commit a crime
Spoken like a true blue fascist......
Democracy means that people can campaign against laws they don't like.
But that would be a bit sophisticated for the man who has the flags of the 3 bastions of freedom and democracy as his avatar...
:rolleyes:
