I think the thread is about Islamic polygamy but I just wanted to make a quick point, which is that the Jews are allowed to take more than one wife if they wish. However the Rabbis about 100 years ago made an order for the jews not to do it for the reason that they have turned on religion and are not morally capable. The ban was supposed to be for a certain amount of time, but that time has elapsed and the Rabbis still did not lift the ban.
My point is that sometimes what the people are doing is not the same as what the religion teaches. If the Jews according to Old testament have the option of polygamy and Jesus did not come to change the law then the only conculsion is that its an exsisting option, and there are still today groups of Bible based christians who practice it even though it is not the mainstream norm.
