@IsmailRoyer You must not have listened to the video. The man said it's okay to have sex with a young girl as soon as she has a period.

Also the evidence show that girls mature at a younger age now than in Muhammud's time.

@Olso43142725Max As they should.

There are many negatives associated with polygamy - both for individuals and for society.

NEGATIVES FOR WOMEN
Higher rates of depression, anxiety, emotional distress, low self-esteem, loneliness, and somatization. A meta-analysis of 24 studies found women in polygamous marriages had more than twice the odds of depression compared with monogamous women.

Ubiquitous co-wife conflict over affection, sex, money, inheritance, and children’s resources; ethnographic reviews of dozens of societies find almost no harmonious co-wife relations Resource dilution, greater economic vulnerability, and higher risk of being treated as lower-status or property-like.

Worse physical health metrics in many datasets: higher maternal mortality, shorter life expectancy, higher HIV rates in some settings, and more domestic violence. First wives sometimes fare better than later wives, but overall comparisons still show disadvantages Younger average age at marriage and larger husband-wife age gaps.

NEGATIVES FOR CHILDREN
Higher psychological symptom scores (somatization, depression, anxiety, hostility, etc.) and a modestly elevated Global Severity Index.

Reduced paternal time, attention, and investment per child because one father’s resources are spread across more wives and offspring. In many African and historical datasets, poorer nutrition, health, immunization, and higher infant/child mortality compared with monogamous households in the same societies.

Greater family stress, sibling rivalry across maternal lines, and risk of neglect or favoritism. Daughters may marry younger; sons of later wives can face disadvantages.

NEGATIVES FOR MEN
In isolated fundamentalist communities, reports of expulsion of adolescent boys (“lost boys”) when they become marriage-market competitors.

High financial and managerial strain; husbands themselves sometimes describe the arrangement as stressful and would not recommend it. Poorer men are often locked out of marriage or delayed in marrying when wealthier men take multiple wives.

Even successful polygynists divide time, money, and emotional energy, reducing the quality of any single pair-bond. Legal status adds further individual costs in most countries: bigamy/polygamy remains a crime or produces void later marriages, so additional spouses typically lack inheritance, property, tax, immigration, or social-security rights.

NEGATIVES FOR SOCIETY
Marriage-market imbalance and unmarried men: Even modest polygyny (a few percent of men taking two or more wives) mathematically reduces available wives for other men. This has been linked in many studies to larger pools of low-status, unmarried young men, who statistically show higher rates of crime, violence, substance abuse, and risk-taking.

Higher crime, social disorder, and in some cross-national work, associations with weaker democratic institutions, lower civil liberties, and greater intra- and inter-group violence. Lower average education, worse child health at the population level, and faster population growth with less investment per child in some comparisons of highly polygynous vs. monogamous countries.

Greater gender inequality, earlier female marriage, and in high-prevalence settings correlations with practices such as female genital mutilation or trafficking.

Economic effects: men may divert resources toward acquiring additional wives rather than productive investment; some analyses find lower GDP-per-capita growth in highly polygynous countries after controls.

Inheritance disputes, clan-based power concentrations, and difficulty integrating large plural households into modern legal and welfare systems. Isolated communities can also strain local schools, welfare, and policing.

@MasterMaliq It is a stated GOAL of Islam to subjugate the entire world. Muslim American's primary loyalty is to the Ummah not to the United States.

[Gail Dawson @gailrenee97]

Exactly. I know why Muslims migrate to Christian countries. Christians build thriving societies.

You, however, missed my point. I was responding to his claim that Muslims migrate to Christian countries because Christians bomb their countries. This is false.
If it were the actual reason, then they would move to Muslims countries that are aligned with their world view.

@enesovat22 Welcome to the body of Christ.

@AnalyticalTaymi And your source is?

@abdulafandii @qpskiirants2 And where is tawhid in the quran?

[Gail Dawson @gailrenee97]

@sneako Why would that be, Sneako?

Could it have something to do with Christian nations being open and welcoming and tolerant and some Muslim countries being terror proxies?

@honeeybuch Muhammud was a war-mongering pedophile who married his adopted son's wife.

The Lord Jesus Christ was sinless. I pray you come to know Him and His saving grace.

@Ahraz__ Jesus explicitly says He came to die for our sins.

He says in Mt. 20:28 - "just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."

@AlliyBello @beet_kon It is well attested that the "People of the Book" are the Jews and Christians.

Quran 5:68. Say, ˹O Prophet,˺ “O People of the Book! You have nothing to stand on unless you observe the Torah, the Gospel, and what has been revealed to you from your Lord.”

[Gail Dawson @gailrenee97]

@AlliyBello @beet_kon Surah 98:6. Indeed, those who disbelieve from the People of the Book and the polytheists will be in the Fire of Hell, to stay there forever. They are the worst of ˹all˺ beings. 7.Indeed, those who believe and do good—they are the best of ˹all˺ beings.

@WhiteHouse Nothing funny about this. It is traitorous.

@InspiringPhilos Praise God. Congratulations!

@sneako "100% of the American political conversation?" Really?
