Note that taking a second wife while still being married to the first is allowed under Islamic law, but not American law. The latter didn’t seem to carry much weight in the Abdulazeez family.
“And if you fear that you will not deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry those that please you of women, two or three or four….” — Qur’an 4:3
And as for the beatings: “Men are the managers of the affairs of women for that Allah has preferred in bounty one of them over another, and for that they have expended of their property. Righteous women are therefore obedient, guarding the secret for Allah’s guarding. And those you fear may be rebellious admonish; banish them to their couches, and beat them.” — Qur’an 4:34
“EXCLUSIVE: Muslim Marine murderer’s father ‘sexually assaulted wife and beat his son’ – and wanted to take second wife ‘because it was allowed under Islamic law,'” by Paul Thompson, Dailymail.com, July 17, 2015:
The Muslim murderer of four US Marines came from an abusive and violent home where his mother was physically and verbally abused by her husband.
Court documents obtained by Daily Mail Online reveal that Muhammad Youssuf Abdulazeez was also victim of beatings by his father that were carried out ‘without provocation or justification.’
The Kuwaiti born gunman was caught up in the messy divorce in his senior year at high school in 2009.
The documents reveal that his father Youssuf Saed Abdulazeez also told his wife of 28 years he was going to take a second wife as it was permitted under Islamic law. …

Yeah, this is life under Islam the man has all the power to treat those weaker in a subservient way and it is considered virtuous. Where as in Christian culture the man is expected to protect the weakest.
Alarmed Pig Farmer says
At first I was shocked to hear that a fellow saved by the United States from penury in Kuwait would turn around and wholly disregard American law to fulfill his personal sex drive. It seemed to me like Dad here is an ingrate demanding prerogative based upon his status in a protected group.
Then I realized that, yes it is a true fact that anti-bigamy felony laws are only enforced on Mormons. A hundred times more Moslem men take multiple wives in this country than Mormons, but they rate prerogative based upon the fact that Islam is one of the world’s great religions, whereas the FBI apparently regards the LDS as not a legitimate branch of Christianity, and it wouldn’t matter even if it were cuz Christians aren’t a protected group.
So, sure, he’s a wife beater and a Jihad mass murder operation funder, but that should not impinge on his right to take multiple wives as a Moslemo-American.
Westman says
There seems to be too many wife beaters in Muslim families. Such tenderness can be passed on to the kids.
For many Muslims, foreplay is soccer?
Westman says
Farmer,
That’s the FLDS(a polygamous break-off), not the LDS church that attempts to carry on polygamy. The FLDS, having centralized authority, made the mistake of keeping centralized records of marriages which allowed Texas to prosecute them.
Islam has no central authority so it’s easier to hide polygamy as just a poor sister living with the family.
Shane says
With these facts now revealed, it seems to me that the entire family should be deported, at least the abusive father. I would not be surprised if the father encouraged his son to be a good Muslim and kill the infidel Americans.
Brian Hoff says
I wouldnot ho;d my breath waiting for it to happen.
gravenimage says
No, indeed. “Brian Hoff”–really, “DefenderofIslam”–believes that his pious coreligionists who practice polygamy, rape their wives, beat their children, and teach those children to murder Americans have every right to stay in this country.
And why not? “DefenderofIslam” has made it clear that he wants to see the United States turned into another Islamic hell hole.
John Stefan Obeda says
Dear friend Alarmed, two things: Permit me please to simply state that, since Mormonism denies the Holy Trinity and the substitutionary atonement of His Son which are key doctrines of the Bible and other important doctrines, it is not correct to consider Mormonism as a branch of Christianity and the other point: it does sadden me that it seems to me that our Western countries have a blind eye to Islamists who practise polygamy. I hear that there are Islamists in Toronto that have more than one wife. Maybe it’s difficult to detect, but I think that it’s more that we stupidly simply let it go because it’s Islam.
Just A Concerned Citizen says
On a related note, I just returned from my favorite neighborhood cafe here in Bahrain–wanted to read the Arabic newspaper to see what they had to say about Chattanooga. One of the back page stories (usually reserved for “oddball” news, like the Chinese mother who apparently refused to smash open the window of her BMW to save her three-year old kiddo) dealt with a Muslim man sentenced to seven and a half years in New South Wales, Australia for marrying off his 12 year old daughter to a 20-something. The judge ruled that “tolerance” was not going to fly when it came to respecting the religious beliefs of the father.
It’s refreshing to see that they made no bones about the religious/cultural justifications–when the story wasn’t intended for western consumption, they sometimes neglect to remind me that this guy was a misunderstander and extremist who had absolutely nothing to do with Islam.
Caroline says
Sharia has no place in the west. Bigamy is illegal and must be punished by law as it would be for any other group.
Wellington says
I’d go even further, Caroline, by maintaining that Islam has no place in the West. Western values and Islamic values (if you can call them that) can simply long term not exist with one another. One or the other has to go. Muslims know this. Many in the West still do not.

The ‘Religion of Pummeling’, ‘it’s great for stress relief and some exercise says landlord ‘Gamal’…and when morale improve a 2nd wife is possible. A little more pummeling and it’s #3…
Jaladhi says
Oh, just only a second wife – why not third and fourth which is allowed under his allah’s laws!! How very considerate of him for the first wife!! LOl… Moron!
Godwin says
He wants to multiply like rats to take over infidel country, USA. These dangerous species should be deported ASAP to avoid further attacks..
sooz22 says
And they breed like rabbits. Think of the statistics: American women are aborting their babies, while islamic men have up to four wives and none of them believe in birth control! muslims have an open door to our society and with their birth records, could take over this country tomorrow, even today, with their sheer numbers!
Brian Hoff says
You are fearmonging again. Muslim only make 1% of the US population than by 2050 only make up 2% of the US population.
gravenimage says
“Fearmongering”, huh? “Brian Hoff” has said that he wants to see America turned into a Muslim country.

This is what muslims are instructed in their mosques. The father seems to be at least an accessory to the deed.
William says
The woman in the front row to our left is conspicuously without a head cover. She is showing her hair and a lot of skin. How is that? How did the others allow that? Doesn’t she realize the others view such behavior with disgust? If she continues like that, she could be in danger.
JamesonRocks says
Maybe she is the family sex slave???
Angemon says
Ah, he was a devout, practicing muslim then. But, you know, the World Wide Web and stuff – that’s what gets muslim youths radicalized.

………………………..
What could be more Islamic than polygamy, wife beating, and marital rape?
Except for waging violent Jihad, of course…
In other words, violence in the name of Islam was a family affair, as it so often is…
cs says
What a happy family…
