BlackPublicMedia.org and the National Black Programming Consortium present the new Ask A Muslim series.
While we know a large majority of Muslims in America are foreign born there is a large and growing native-born population with a significant voice on the modern face of Islam, and a good majority are black. The Ask A Muslim series focuses on this population gathering scholars, Imams, writers, and cultural observers - even the very first practicing Muslim US Congressman - to share their views on a myriad of topics provided by everyday citizens on the streets of Philadelphia.
This week "Ask A Muslim" focuses on why Muslim men can really have up to four wives, and women cannot; also, it asks whether Muslims believe in love?

None of what these people said makes sense for the 21st century. it's backward thinking. polygamy is illegal in the United States anyway, so it's all moot.

Thanks again Tambay. I love this series. It is very informative. As a Christian sista this hit home because I was engaged to a man that converted to the Muslim faith. I asked him about this four wives deal and he told me he wouldn't rule the possibility out. Needless to say I told him I was out and broke it off real quick. He still a good brotha and I respect him and his faith but he just wasn't the one for me. Thanks Again.
