Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Nigeria: Muslim leader warns that regulations on polygamy violate the Qur’an

Feb 26, 2017 6:07 pm By Robert Spencer

Western leaders are staking the future of Europe and North America on the assumption, or hope, that Muslims don’t take the Qur’an literally, particularly passages exhorting believers to kill Infidels (2:191; 4:89; 9:5; 47:4). But again and again we see that the plain meaning of Qur’anic passages are dominant among Muslim exegetes. The Qur’an allows for polygamy (4:3), and Muhammad had multiple wives, and as far as Aminu Daurawa is concerned, that is that.

“Cleric to Sanusi: Your proposal on polygamy will violate the Quran,” by Dyepkazah Shibayan, The Cable, February 24, 2017 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Aminu Daurawa, Kano state commandant of Hisbah, a religious police outfit, says the position of God on marriage has been stated in the Quran and any means of regulation would be seen as an act of “infringement”.

Reacting to the proposal of Muhammad Sanusi, emir of Kano to outlaw forced marriages and regulate polygamy, Daurawa said the criteria for marrying another wife as contained in the Quran should be strictly followed….

“Allah position on marriage is sacrosanct as stated in the Holy Quran and any infringement is nullity,” Daurawa said.

“What needs to be done is not enactment of a law that would bar the poor from marrying more than one wife but rather enlightenment on the intricacies of polygamy.

“There about 13 criteria to be followed before one qualifies to marry a second wife and this include been just and caring to the wife as been enshrined in the Holy Quran should be strictly followed.”

    If only they would ( go back to their own country).

    A few years ago, in Philadelphia, a Muslim form one of the former French North Africa countries (I forgot which one) and ONE OF HIS WIVES was convicted ANOTHER OF HIS WIVES. (The wife who was with him was also convicted).

    This was either towards the end of Bush The Younger or the early days of Hussein Obama.

      What did they do to the wife?

      Murder is quite common in polygamous marriages. Not surprising, since they are loveless.

        As I recall, they both went to prison -life so probably (Pa., I beleive has a Dem governor) serve a few years.

        But, really sickening- these people, and their primitive ways in the 21st century.

    Can the Muslims EVEN SUPPORT ONE WIFE- WITHOUT WELFARE-?

      Very good question muzzies are professionally living on dole in Western countries whereas other non-Western people living here are fully integrated and contributing their share to society.

      Nigeria is a divided country, half of the people are civilized, one of my good friends is a Nigerian, Christian of course. The other half is Islamic and uncivilized, they’re Boko Haram terrorists or stupid clerics like the one quoted in this article. Muzzies think their bloody Koran is eternal and not created, they worship each word in it, so their way of life is totally incompatible with civilization, not only Western civilization mind you.

    • Sergio says

      No. All of them have welfare. To avoid the Law each additional wife is registered as a sister or a cousin of the wife or the husband. Muslims from small towns and villages never had any documents. They are born and die in the village. When they move to Europe or America they can give any name they want. THERE IS NO PRACTICAL WAY TO CHECK millions of migrants! Impossible!! I was there!

    He’s not pontificating in America (yet), but he does show how the imams will always drag out the book or the hadith or anything muslim to get their way. Since Britistan allows multiple wives with multiple welfare checks, I suspect Obama’s flunkies already let a few in here.
    Sooner or later American imams will start pushing for open recognition of polygamy. I also recall that Prof. Brown thought muslim slavery was O.K. because the koran allowed it.
    If we don’t keep pushing back our grandsons could be sold into slavery and our granddaughters could be fighting for the support of their children with 3 other wives from a husband they never chose.

      There is something (I don’t know what it is called) but like a Social Security number for aliens, etc.

      It seems that a few years ago, there were (in different cities) THOUSANDS OF CHECKS TO ONE ADDRESS. Somebody recently wrote a book about this. ( was discussed on a radio program either Sat night or Sunday night).

      And, it seems, each can claim TWENTY DEPENDENTS.

    This is one of the big reasons Muslims can’t exist in Western Countries they are not willing to accept the Western Way of life without demanding westerners conform to there Morbid Sick Perverted lifestyle of Pedophilia, Polygamy, Converting Countries from Christianity to Islamic they need to stay in the Middle East that is the only hope for Peace it is time Liberals wake up & smell the Roses these Middle Eastern Scumbags will use Deception, or what ever it takes to get into a Western Country Over Populate with Muslims then get More Members in the Senate & House it is bad enough with Ellison, & Camela Harris 5 or 6 more will spell disaster.

      The goal of Islam is to expand and to take over the World. So every men can have many wives…legally.
      Mohammed military took over many countries. Iran got $158 billion from Obama so they can afford to built up their army to take over the Islamic countries and EU.

    Nigeria: Muslim leader warns that regulations on polygamy violate the Qur’an
    …………………….

    This pious thug is not wrong.

    More:

    “There about 13 criteria to be followed before one qualifies to marry a second wife and this include been just and caring to the wife as been enshrined in the Holy Quran should be strictly followed.”
    …………………….

    Well, yes–we wouldn’t want a situation where the first wife didn’t know that she could be summarily divorced if she complains that her husband takes a second wife, or that either did now know that they would be beaten, raped, or “Honor Killed” if they are disobedient, now, would we?

    There is no love in Islam.

    Islam – the first “religion” ever to be founded entirely around a man’s penis.

    • dumbledoresarmy says

      Feb 27, 2017 at 3:07 am

      Yep, pretty much. We had a regular commenter here some years ago who called Islam “Mo’s Worship-the-Penis Club”.

      But in a way, even that doesn’t quite describe the problem. It’s more that Islam deifies, or sacralises, the *lawless* male id, those aspects of male sexuality or desire that are *destructive*. In Islam Thanatos has devoured or subsumed Eros.

      As James Freeman Clarke, way back in the 19th century, put it in his book “Ten Great Religions”, chapter 11, “Mohammed and Islam”, after having spent some time discussing and reflecting on the findings of all the then-available (and quite high-calibre) western scholarship on the subject of islam,

      “It [Islam] makes life barren and empty. It encourages a savage pride and cruelty. It makes men tyrants or slaves, women puppets, religion the submission to an infinite despotism.”

      • BLC says

        Feb 27, 2017 at 1:07 pm

        I heard a speech by a U.S. military man. He said that Islam is a political ideology masquerading as a religion. I believe that. Islam is no religion, a cult, maybe, but certainly not a religion.

        • Sergio says

          Feb 27, 2017 at 1:45 pm

          It is religion and the ideology with the goal to ISLAMIZE the WORLD and to bring Sharia law to whole World. Europe is almost Islamized. Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Holland are finished. Spain, Sweden, Canada, USA are next on Muslim’s list. Will be no women in all colleges so men can be admitted more easily; each man can have few wives who will “not talk back” or will be heavily beaten, good shish kebeb food or beat your wives, many kids ( on welfare?), no income taxes ( too many kids), women don’t drive ( save money on 2nd car). Why D. Trump doesn’t want it? MSNBC, CNN, NY TIMES, hate D. Trump.

    As Muslims migrate for a number of reasons, one of which is economical, the other to propagate in a place which heretofore had experienced minimal to no Muslim birth rate, I believe the main reason for migrants from throughout the world in general is not the salient reasons for migration among Muslims.
    Usually, people of other faiths than Islam come to America to rebuild their lives as much as possible in the American image.

    Muslims arrive any way can, not to live as individuals of a multi-ethnic/religious melting pot, in peace with each other, but to settle selectively among each other to constitute the Muslim-centric environments they left before coming to America. America opened its doors and resources to these people, only to learn they scoff at American rule of law in favor of what they bring with them, shariah.
    In addition, the more that are admitted to the USA, the more Imams will be dispatched to follow them to “remind” them that they are to preserve their roots in the koran & shariah. They are obligated to observe Islamic requirements as directed by the koran with all else insignificant….all else!

    Therefore, I do not believe that they will regard other Americans any differently than they have demonstrated their attitudes and behaviors in the UK or other EU countries to which they arrived.
    And, when most of them arrive in new lands, they are not adaptable to trades and professions, therefore they are supported by public welfare funds, paid by the very tax-payers whom they scorn as “non-believers.” Such migrant communities do not lend to any efforts to break their dependencies upon public funds in exchange for efforts to learn and adapt. Instead, efforts are made to galvanize such communities to resist becoming Americans loyal to the U.S. Constitution and this nation.

    It is a strange scenario from its very start, because with most ethic/religious groups who have come to the USA, efforts were extended by welfare recipients with their will to support themselves and to succeed as contributors to the communities in which they considered themselves as contributing citizens.
    Not so with Muslims who live within the dictates of their imams, shariah, and koran.

    • Neil Howard says

      Feb 27, 2017 at 3:34 pm

      You are right Mr. Lee. And even though the majority of Muslims aren’t radicals and don’t advocate violence, many still are privately loyal to sharia but understand they must comply with the laws of their occupying country. When the Muslims have converged in specific areas and become numerous, the imams begin to pressure them into a separation from the society and directing a separate commitment to the radical “tribe”. The reality is that the qoran commands it’s followers to destroy all other religions and impose sharia as the only rule worldwide. This is the most honorable accomplishment they can do. And it teaches that the commitment to dominate the infidel wherever they find them in the course of this “most glorious” goal is expected. In other words, murder, rape, torture, deception, and anything conceivable is acceptable and actually encouraged. Bottom line is that anyone who is a Muslim is ultimately commanded to obey and fulfill. Even the many who don’t believe this to be relevant in modern times are intimidated to compliance for fear of the consequences of resistance. And btw, we all need to remember, Islamism is not a religion, it’s a reprehensible doctrine that teaches peace and love, but ONLY BETWEEN FELLOW BELIEVERS. The very opposite is taught towards all others.

      Just another example of the slave mentality of all those stupidly degenerate black, “raisin head”(Muhammad’s epithet) fools. This fool is just an weak brained parrot for Arab cultural imperialism. Before the primitive ideas of Islam arrived in what is now known as Nigeria, did the Hausas have a workable culture? If so, what made them give it up for the primitive Stone Age culture of Arabs?

      Or maybe, Africans who have been been brainwashed by primitive Arab nonsense just love being slaves of Arab cultural imperialism. No doubt, that’s one of the reasons they are called “abeed” when they land in the most culturally backward slave regime in the world, Saudi Arabia.

    How many kids that they can’t afford to feed does the rest of the world need on that God forsaken continent? Africa and the middle East are the primary source of all the world’s problems today. Together they are like a giant dark sphere that is now exploding outward. Lets rescue the Christians and leave the rest to sort it out among themselves.

    And all this in spite of the modern West’s attempts to help for fifty years and more. My aunt volunteered and went to help Africa every year as I was growing up. It only seems to be worse now.

    Here’s a thundering broadside from a lucid and cosmopolitan Irishman, the late Conor Cruise O’Brien, on the subject of mohammedan social relations. It is from an article that appeared in “The Times” in May 1989; perhaps the last time anything as blisteringly truthful about Islam made it into a mainstream publication in the western world.

    “Muslim society looks profoundly repulsive… It looks profoundly repulsive because it *is* repulsive… A westerner who claims to admire Muslim society, whilst still adhering to Western values, is either a hypocrite or an ignoramus or a bit of both. At the heart of the matter is the Muslim family, an abominable institution…”.

    • maghan says

      Feb 27, 2017 at 5:52 am

      And fully certified many years before 1989 by the observant Winston Churchill. Maybe Churchill’s candid observations of Islam in practice provoked the childishly petulant response by ex-POTUS, Obama, when he had Churchill’s bust removed form the Oval Office.

    This statement from a Nigerian: Muslim leader comes as no surprise. Anything that is moral, reasonabble or moderate is totally contrary to the Qur’an and Haddith. Polygamy is one of the lesser evils.

  12. mortimer says

    Feb 27, 2017 at 8:54 am

    If the Koran is ETERNAL, PERFECT AND COMPLETE … according to orthodox Islam … then there is no debate about polygamy. Many classical doctrines of Islam are eternal… all of which are anathema to modernity … 1) polygamy, 2) child marriage 3) polygamy 4) cousin marriage/inbreeding 5) jizya 6) political assassination 7) sharia vigilantism 8) inhumane punishments 9) bigoted warfare against disbelievers.

    Many of Islam’s core doctrines cannot be practiced in most of the world without a fine and a jail sentence. Muslims need to start asking themselves:

    “WHAT DOES MODERNITY KNOW THAT ALLAH DID NOT KNOW in the 7th CENTURY???”

    It’s only a matter of time before they demand to have 4 wives in non-Muslim countries, and I can guarantee you that in Britain it will be allowed, even if there is no law.

    Cleric to Sanusi: Your proposal on polygamy will violate the Quran

    Where’s the “feminist” outrage at a patriarchal culture that treats women as chattel?

  15. Walter Sieruk says

    Feb 27, 2017 at 1:58 pm

    Polygamy is not sanctioned by God. For example God gave Adam one wife. Furthermore, in the New Testament Jesus taught “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife…” Jesus said “wife.” Not “wives” Mathew 19:5. [K.J.V.] Likewise, in First Timothy 3:2. In instructs “A bishop the must be blameless, the husband on one wife.” Here again it’s “one wife” Nevertheless, there are some people who will act as apologists for polygamy by say the king David of Israel and then later his son ,who became King Solomon of Israel did practice polygamy. Such people aren’t taking into account both the time and place. For the only reason that God did tolerate this tradition was not because it was right or that He approved of it. It was because this practice of having many wives was such an entrenched custom in the ancient Middle East that God allowed it for the above mentioned Kings of Israel. This does not mean that this custom, of polygamy, was to keep on going in other times and places.

    • Gen Jones says

      Feb 28, 2017 at 12:51 pm

      True. It’s important to remember that marriage is considered a sacrament in Catholicism. In Islam it is a mere contract. Christians, Jews and Hindus in the US are married in their religious tradition but also by the law of the state they reside in. Muslims do not care if they are legally married since their religiously sanctioned union overrides that. So a man can have several Islamic wives and who are legally and for tax reasons single moms so they can collect benefits.
