From the ever-vigilant Daniel Pipes, a thread worth bookmarking (thanks to Sheila for pointing it out), that deals with the rise of accepted polygamy in the West, and the grave implications this all has for the future of our nations and our national identities. In fact, this is such a serious issue that this post marks the creation of a new category on the Anvil dedicated to Polygamy as just one more link in the chain of Islamist incursions into our societies:
As the definition of marriage loosens from its once-strict notion of a man and a woman, all sorts of novel arrangements are turning up � notably homosexual “marriages” and polygamy. This development has come at just the right moment for the growing, demanding Muslim populations in the West, which are asserting their right to one husband and multiple wives. This weblog entry looks, in reverse chronological order, at some of the more interesting signs of polygamy’s advance in the West.
Please follow this link to read much more. Please note that Dr. Pipes keeps most of his threads updated, with the latest in this particular case (as of this posting) being May 28, 2007.
