Islamic Leader Wants to Legalise Polygamy in Italy
The Catholic Herald (UK) ^ | 8/18/16 | Staff Reporter

Leader of Muslim group says there is 'no reason' for polygamy not to be permitted now that same-sex unions have been legalised

The leader of the Union of Islamic Communities in Italy has said there is “no reason” for polygamy not to be legalised after the Italian government passed a law to recognise the union of same-sex civil unions.

In a Facebook status, Hamza Piccardo wrote: “There’s no reason for Italy not to accept polygamous marriages of consenting persons.

“When it comes to civil rights here, then polygamy is a civil right. Muslims don’t agree with homosexual partnership and still they have to accept a system that allows it,” he added.

The Facebook status proved to be controversial among Italians, who are deeply divided on the issue of civil partnerships. The Italian government voted in favour of allowing civil unions between couples of the same gender, despite opposition from the Catholic Church. This gives the couples the same rights as married people under Italian law except they are not allowed to adopt children.

According to Crux, Piccardo shared a photo of the mayor of Milan celebrating the civil union between two men. Underneath it he wrote: “If it’s only a matter of civil rights, then polygamy is a civil right.”

Since Francis was out to lunch for much of the debate about same-sex civil unions in Italy, it will be interesting to see how he responds to his Islamic pals on this one.

Does Italy have so-called same sex marriage?

If so, there is no basis for denying polygamous marriage.

They REALLY do intend to increase the demographic numbers in Muslim population in Italy. This is a roller coaster and these cars are headed down a slippery slope.

OK. I want to legalize, in all Islamic countries, starting tomorrow: 1) Absolute equal rights for all religions, 2) Protections for those who want to disavow Islam and become Christians or any other faith, 3) Conversion to Judaism at will, 4) Equal rights for women, including the ability to also practice polygamy if they so wish, 5) the right to criticize Islam freely.

These are just my initial proposals.

Why don’t the raggie legalize it in the sewer he crawled out of and let Italy do their own thing.

They forget genital mutation of all women. Muslims really know how screw the women over. Dirtbags of the first order.

Yow.

Yes. Include that in the protest signs.

Islam is a perverted, Satanic religion and muslims are idiots to think it will ever be accepted in the modern world.

It is a well reasoned argument. In a sense, it is libertarian (not the wacko variety). “We should be able to do things that don’t harm others.”

As a side note, when I did business in China the execs there found it profoundly odd and sad that I only had one wife. They found it downright funny that I considered her an equal.
