Itulah logika Islam yg brilyan. Tp kenapa orang2 Islam jadi tukang merkosa kalo ga poligami? Apakah orang2 Islam ini serendah anjing yg sedang birahi? Kalo nurut gua sih orang Islam msh lbh rendah dr anjing. http://www.magharebia.com/cocoon/awi/xhtml1/en_GB/features/awi/features/2012/09/10/feature-01 Polygamy call causes stir in Tunisia 2012-09-10 An Islamist preacher is causing controversy in Tunisia for saying polygamy is the solution to the nation's social problems. By Monia Ghanmi for Magharebia in Tunis – 10/09/12 Sharp controversy erupted in Tunisia late last month after an Islamist association called for ending the ban on polygamy as a solution to social problems. Adel Almi called on August 29th for the debate to be re-opened on Tunisia's polygamy ban in order to allow Tunisians to enjoy what "the Sharia and God permit". "Alcohol and cannabis are harmful to the human body, while the practice of polygamy solves many physical and social problems," Almi told Shems FM. Almi was the same controversial preacher behind calls to create morality police in Tunisia. He heads up the "Moderate Association for Awareness and Reform", an organisation once known as the Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and the Prevention of Vice. The Islamist preacher considered the abolition of the polygamy ban to be a popular demand for men and women alike. He further claimed that polygamy was a divine right and therefore must have behind it a legitimate public interest, saying that Tunisia "must re-open the debate on this issue and let the judiciary settle it". Like Almi, other voices are calling for the need to revisit the issue. They argue that polygamy is a solution to spinsterhood, as well as to the problems of adultery and rape. Bahri Jelassi, leader of the Openness and Loyalty Party, called on several occasions to repeal the law criminalising polygamy and to replace it with one which is in line with the spirit of Islamic law. Jelassi asked the Constituent Assembly to specify "the right of every Tunisian to take a concubine along with his wife and to enjoy the ones that their right hands possess." "The concubine is the most effective solution to restore the social and moral balance of Tunisian society, which was damaged by the secular laws of the Code of Personal Status and suffered over a period of five decades from the criminalisation of polygamy," the politician claimed. The laws on personal status issued by Tunisian President Habib Bourguiba in 1956 banned polygamy despite its permissibility in Islam. The practice continues to have its supporters among Tunisians. "As long as polygamy is permitted, why ban it?" commented Jaber Khedhiri. "If one wants another wife, let him have this. Besides, we are not better than the rest of the Islamic countries." Basset Rouichdi said, "I hope that this idea is activated on the ground, so as not to ban what God has permitted, because polygamy is one of the pluses of religion in order to take care of the interests of society, especially women, and to treat society's problems." Walid Salmi said, "I am in favour of polygamy, provided there are convincing grounds for practicing it, like sterility or a wife suffering from disease, and provided also that the first wife consents." However, the material conditions of most Tunisians may prevent the application of polygamy on the ground. "The financial conditions of Tunisia as well as the problems of unemployment and poverty and the cost of living, are all factors that will prevent the acceptance of this idea and its application even in the long run," according to Kamel Attia. On the other hand, this call encountered great opposition from many Tunisians, especially women. Souha Hsini said, "I refuse outright to go into this matter. It is true that it is permissible in Islam, but polygamy is not commensurate with the present era. We no longer live the life of the early Muslims." "I do not think that women in Tunisia will give up this gain easily, because the Tunisian woman is a jealous one and will never be satisfied that her husband has a second woman in his life other than her," Aicha Youssef commented. Rim Azzabi considered that polygamy would undermine family stability and create unnecessary social tragedies. "Marriage is a relationship of friendship, convergence and integrated partnership, and responsibility between women and men," she said. Her husband Jamel Bahri agreed with her, saying, "For me, I cannot marry a second, even if I can afford it. One is enough, the number is not important. What is important is peace of mind and the good rearing of the offspring. This is my happiness."
