its time for the jews to learn from our cousins the ishmael peoples and take many wives abraham did it . these will be from the oppressed nations of the world a great salvation 300 million jews by 2050 .
32. to #15 re amount of money the state is paying him
(10.09.07)
14k in shekels for 67 children is nothing this will not help you feed them or school them considering how many children he has, this is a tiny amount
33. Is bigamy legal?

35. THE GOOD LIFE!!!

36. POlygamy
Hajim Sarsoor ,   Jenin   (10.09.07)
Jews have sex with multiple partners and nobody protests. An Arab marries his loved women and raises children and a storm of protest erupts. Hipocracy and double standards are obvious.
37. A good role model for all Arabs
Shahdah   (10.09.07)
Keep up the good work.
38. This is the mentality that has kept the Arabs in the 7th C.
Mike Jefferson ,   Washington, D.C.   (10.09.07)
Multiple wives, consanguinous marriages, tribal mentality. Is there any wonder that peace is a foreign concept to these folks?
39. This IS his only job it's all he can do

40. OMG...that guy needs a vasectomy
Y ,   Israel   (10.09.07)
Why would any woman want to be with him...typical f*cked up Arabs
41. to Hajim of Jenin
MF ,   Israel   (10.09.07)
Human nature just doesnt work like that! One man or woman can love lots of children at once, but an adult relationship with a marital partner is hard to split up fairly between multiple partners. Even Mohammed ordered a max of 4 wives for the ordinary Muslim. The only emotions here are probably instinctual and not affectionate. This prolific father probably thinks he is one of his camels. Also situation described here cannot possibly be compared to unmarried "romantic" relationships in other societies. It appears to me that Shahad is just taking advantage of the poverty of the young women he is adding to his harem, because he can afford to.
42. Very funny!!
IAMsterdam ,   TA/Amsterdam   (10.09.07)
Fantastic, finally something that you laugh about....the same happened in the Netherlands when we would bring cheap labor from Turkey and Morroco (70's)....they would get Dutch citizenship and then they would bring their 4 or more wives and their 20 kids, they got welfare,etc....now the Netherlands have to eat what they cooked....you see more muslims on the street then Dutch....
43. Exponential Explosion
Brod ,   USA   (10.09.07)
Is this how the Islamist-Jihadists make their numbers? Oriana Fallaci in her book, "The Force of Reason," tells how the Islamist-Jihadist Trojan Horse in Europe does their exponential explosion with funding from the Wahhabhists, so that in time, the Europeans will become a minority in their own countries. This is something to be wary about. The government should enact a Law to control such exponential explosion by making polygamy illegal irrespective of religion.
44. 33,Suzanne: It is BEGamy, not BIGamy since he begs for so
Rivkah   (10.09.07)
much money from the government for his family. In America, it is legal to have one legal wife at a time, but any number of non-legal partners, apparently. In America, divorce is not necessary for remarriage as long as there is NOT cohabitation with more than one legal wife. Bigamy is when a person legallly marries more than one person and COHABITS with both LEGAL wives. It is not bigamy until one of the legal wives or husbands complains to the police that the spouse COHABITS with more than one legal spouse. Also, if a marriage occurs in Mexico, legal documents from Mexico are not recognized as valid in America if anyone contests it. Divorcing a previous spouse is the protection from being ACCUSED of cohabiting with more than one legal spouse.
45. No wonder Islam is so popular...
John ,   Atlanta, GA   (10.10.07)
...amongst emotionally limited men. Get a wife, have all the sex all you want with her (she has no choice; and even being with you is better than the alternatives) until the stretch-marks cause you to loose interest in her, and then get new, younger wife and start over. And then the state sends you a check for each kid! If I didn't actually love my wife, I might be able to be sold on this!
46. All My Children
