You know Travis I have watched reams of TV news and documentary stuff on the Afghans and Islam et al and I have yet to see one talking head or scholar mention this polygamy component in any discussion. A fair number of these folks are well informed and I respect them but still I have yet to hear a peep about the obvious relationship between polygamy amongst the wealthy males and the endless supply of young poor "serfs" anxious to externalize their frustrations.

I can't understand it either. It's the rotting camel in the tent everyone ignores.

It's amazing how something so obviously is so obviously and universally ignored by the mediots. Do they think we're all idiots like them?
