As stated by Robert Spencer on April 12, 2021 in regard to Sweden’s acceptance of child marriage:
As long expected, Sweden is now capitulating to Sharia, piece by piece. Don’t think it will end with child marriage. There is plenty more Sharia to implement. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.
No it didn’t end at child marriage. Now comes this announcement on polygamy. Like child marriage, polygamy has “abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.” Given Sweden’s record of appeasement, what might those exceptions to the rule of polygamy be? If Sweden is going so far as to ban polygamous marriages carried out overseas, there should be no exceptions. Different laws for different groups is completely contrary to the principle of equal rights for all.
“Swedish Gov’t Criticised for Proposing Exceptions in Anti-Polygamy Bill,” by Chris Tomlinson, Breitbart, April 11, 2021:
The Swedish government has been accused of allowing exceptions in a new bill aimed at banning the recognition of polygamous marriages carried out overseas.
Swedish Liberal Party MP Robert Hannah criticised the government bill this week, claiming that while the proposal is advertised as wanting to ban polygamous marriages, it leaves the door open to exceptions.
“The Riksdag [parliament] has clearly stated that NO polygamy should be recognised in Sweden. Nevertheless, the government now has a bill recognising polygamy in some cases,” Hannah said and asked Justice Minister Morgan Johansson when it was “okay for patriarchal men to be married to several wives?”
“Just three years ago, the Social Democrats and the Green Party thought that polygamy should be stopped completely. Now they have turned around completely and think it is okay for men to have several wives in exceptional cases. An exception that risks becoming the main rule,” he added.
On the Swedish government website, the description of the bill states that “the government proposes a general ban on recognising polygamy entered into under foreign law”.
“It is discriminatory that men are allowed to marry several women and not compatible with the principle of equal treatment of spouses on which Swedish law is based and the demands for equality. The government is therefore proposing a new main rule that no foreign polygamy should be recognised in Sweden,” the summary of the bill states.
“Exceptions to the prohibition shall be possible only if there are exceptional reasons,” the summary adds but does not detail what the reasons may be….

Fun fact: it wasn’t just Christian Serbs that conspired to kill Archduke Franz Ferdinand and start World War One, Muslims played a major role in his assassination.

Swedish government proposes unexplained ‘exceptions’ to its anti-polygamy law
…………….
And here’s Sweden caving to *child marriage*:
“Sweden: Government allows child marriage for ‘extraordinary reasons’’
https://www.jihadwatch.org/2021/04/sweden-government-allows-child-marriage-for-extraordinary-reasons
The unspecified “extraordinary reasons” are likely when Muslims demand being allowed child rape.

And mudslimes can’t understand why civilised people have an intense dislike of everything about islam.
BlackSabbath says
Polygamy is a kind of jihad. First, it allows for a massive moslem population explosion. On average, a moslem with four wives will have 10 to 16 children. Then, for every moslem with four wives, three moslem men will not have a wife within their community. So they will have to find infidel women, and convert them to islam. This will boost population explosion. If infidel women refuse to marry the jihadi moslem, then those moslem men will share women within family, that includes sister-in-law or daughter-in-law, sister, cousin, or daughter. This incest creates deformed babies which becomes a burden on the health-care system. Some unmarried moslems who can’t find a moslem wife, infidel wife, or share women within the family, will go after goats and other animals. Some will finally end up raping poor random girl and murder her, and claim to be retarded. This is a slippery slope and Sweden should go for complete ban on islam. It is simple and effective.

I think it’s appropriate to recognize sharia/polygamy under very specific circumstances, e.g. in the case of inheritance disputes: the husband dies, but his second wife abroad won’t inherit anything, simply because we decided to never recognize her status under any circumstances? That would actually be cruel.
gravenimage says
This still doesn’t mean that we would be recognizing polygamy as legal. Similar things have been done for the children of bigamists; this does not entail legalizing bigamy.
Eur says
There are already judicial rulings in different European countries on these cases. The widow’s pension is distributed among the wives and normally, as this amount does not reach the social minimum established, then the government compensates that figure to all the widows. Ultimately, the unfaithful working society ends up paying for the barbaric Islamic habit that is incapable of supporting itself (women are not usually part of the labor market, so widows will be parasitically preceptors of aid all their lives) and takes away social resources for really important issues that add value to all. Islam destroys any society.

That’s a terrific photo. A Muslim knuckle dragger and, I imagine, his four wives. And aren’t they looking beautiful. It is 2021 and there are actually knuckle dragging creatures living like this. It says all that needs to be said about islam. It’s like looking back in time thousands of years except that here are people still living this truly grotesque and totally barbaric lifestyle. Islam has to go. The existence of such a backward throwback is an embarrassment to the human race. And then, of course, there are all those murderous terrorist attacks committed by Muslims continually. This ideology has to become extinct like the old Aztec load of crap became extinct. Islam has been fouling the human race up for too long with its primitive garbage.

There are too many weasels and cowards these days, collectively on twitwit there are brave attack dogs agitating to get someone cancelled but they are weasels just the same.
I think it was on Kenny on Media (SkyNews) tonight where they mentioned the Church in Canada that the state mounted a full scale military lockdown on with two layers of fences and a vast number of cops guarding the place against anyone who might want to attend Church while they tossed the minister into prison just to make sure he couldn’t hold any services.
Thing is, the establishment are comfortable treating Christians like that but the news crew took the camera across to the local Mosque where they were holding Friday prayers and guess what, there were hundreds of cars there and would have amounted to a far larger gathering than the Church had at any time but not a single cop to be seen or were likely to be seen either because they know who is safe to treat like crap and who aren’t. What happened to equality and fairness for all?
Like I say, there are cowards aplenty in our Western government agencies and bureaucracies to a level that they are no longer effectual or fit for purpose.
tim gallagher says
I’m sure you are right, gregbeetham, about the cowardice that was involved in the way the authorities dealt with the peaceful Christian church as opposed to how they treated the Muslims because they realise how the violent Muslims would react. It’s pathetic, that’s for sure. My only solution is for our politicians, and people in general, to wake the hell up and shut the barbaric Muslims out. So much of islam’s nonsense seems so unbelievably primitive and barbaric. To my mind, it is disgusting that Islam’s primitive garbage is still around, polluting the human race.
Bernie Rose’Meyer says
Could not agree with your opinion any more than if it were my opinion… Very well stated I must say… When will the civilised world wake up and stop feeling sorry for those Barbaric Animals and that is showing a disrespect towards the animal kingdom? I have never witnessed a more putrid and disgusting Ideology or so called religion that evidently 1.5 Billion parasites appear to follow?????The question remains is WHY do the rest of the population on this planet accept or allow those evil participants of that ideology to even co exist?
Fred van de Bunt says
By the way, great photo.
I suppose the photo was taken in the White House, being Biden’s advisors team on Islam affairs.

Sweden may be the very first European Nation to have their very own muslim Prime Minister and i want to see the feminists in that country rejoice once that become a reality because that country is very very close to that actually happening.
Im still waiting for somebody to explain to me what was wrong with the Old Sweden that caused them to rebuild it as a New Sweden….Full of people who dont look like, think like, or act anything like, the Old Swedes…
Jim says
There could be Muslim countries to take in future Muslim migrants. I think there are 52 Muslim countries. Surely some of them can take their brothers and sisters in.

Bravo Swedistan. Polygamy, child marriage, what is next? Pork ban?
JamesC. says
Pork ban
Prohibition of crosses on churches
Ban on alcohol
Legalisation of paedophilia and necrophilia
Moslem blasphemy law
All women to wear hijab
…that sort of thing.
Giacomo Latta says
What would be interesting would be a ban on alcohol. The taxes on alcohol in Sweden are so high that most cannot afford to drink a little bit on a daily basis. To get relief there only option is to go on a boat ride to a neighbouring country so they can purchase duty-free booze. Unfortunately, it also means going on a giant bender to make it all worthwhile. If only there was a tax on left-wing babble; Sweden would be so much better off.
OLD GUY says
This is exactly what the Muslim/Islamic migration invasion brings to the countries that open their borders to these people. It’s a mistake to under estimate your enemies plan to slowly take over your country through migration. Muslim’s know they can not defeat us on the battle field. But they can defeat us if they get enough Muslim/islamic people into your country to burden your social and legal system with continued demands for sharia laws and welfare, not to mention intimidation and violence or getting into your political system.
Mohini says
I’m an Indian woman and India seems more progressive than Sweden to me. We have a Muslim personal law which allows all these sexist things to happen-but only to Muslim women, and I don’t care tuppence for them.
In all my years of residence in this great nation, I’ve only seen steps taken towards the collective empowerment of the population.
Ironically, an already feminist nation has started regressing.

Swedish law is based on equality:
Can a woman have four or more husbands?
Walter Sieruk says
With this article it’s now an appropriate time to reiterate the fact that 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.
