    That's in America, not in some other country. Let them do what works best for them.

    There have been over 2 dozen ISIS suicide bombings in Arabia and far more pitched gun battles than that. They declared war on Saudi Arabia in 2011.

    I bet the only reason this is even news is because it involves a girl from Thailand and many people in Thailand are not happy about it.

    I heard it's up to five wives in Turkey.

    Many years ago, someone who vacationed in Turkey came back and told me that the law in Turkey (or maybe it was just the province he went to) was a man can have up to 8 wives during his lifetime, but only 5 wives at the same time.

    If Memri did that, the entire anti-sematic world would be pointing it out. They have to watch themselves closely. I can see making a mistake, they translate to many languages, like everyone does, but you can bet it would be corrected quickly.

    Considering they broadcast to countless countries, in many languages, and something like that would be a blatant fu-kup, I have a hard time believing that.

    Muhammed set the limit at 4, while he took a dozen.
    There are many cases of muslims taking a lot more than allowed. Not sure how they do that.
    a Saudi Prince has 30.

    I doubt there are too many, if any, it's no longer practiced in America legally, however there is a place in Northern Mexico where Mormans fled when it was declared illegal and started a community.

    Only four at one time and that is falling out of favor these days just like the age for women to marry is going up and family size is going down.

    Many of these wives are treated more like concubines, without all the privileges normal royal wives would have (however few those are).

    I warned Americans on forums this would happen once homosexuals started marrying.

    Funny who it was that confirmed it for me.

    I have mixed feelings about this: as a general rule, we should mind our own business. But ... if we know that a country has passed laws mandating, for example, the extermination of an entire ethnic group, I'd feel a moral imperative to collaborate with other countries, maybe the UN, to do something to stop it. I realize that legalization of marriage to prepubescent children isn't murder.

    If any are there, they know they are illegals. My church only did this when in the USA it was then legal. The law changed and our church banned this around 1890. Those calling themselves Mormons that marry children are outlaws.

    By the way, islamic extremism tend to see more moderate muslims as apostate, so people who could be killed. That's why for instance they targeted concerts, because they considered that a "true" muslim wouldn't listen music.

    If you are really interested in knowing the truth there are many sites showing the actual translation including even there own Memri's Wiki page. Here is some of the deliberate mistranslation:

    Seems I have to quote my own post Bowerbird.
    I dont care what race of what country, forcing of allowing marriage under 16yo is disgusting. The horror some young girls must endure....Tennessee or Eskimos...

    Weird isn't it, since everywhere you go in Arabia you have always been able to hear music.
