My journey through Islam and the Middle East continues...Here's some things I learned last week...
A debate has been sparked in France after a court annulled a Muslim marriage because the husband said his wife was not a virgin as she had claimed. In the case, Mr X, an engineer in his 30s, married Ms Y, a student nurse in her 20s. But on the wedding night, Mr X complained that he could not display the blood-stained sheet held as proof of a bride's 'purity' and went to court the following morning to get an annulment. His lawyer successfully argued that Ms Y had deceived him on one of the "essential elements of the marriage", which has nothing to do with religion...If the sheet don't feet, you must acqueet.
Muslim leaders in Kenya's North Eastern Province have declared war on condoms to campaign against the promotion of condoms as a means of preventing HIV...I hope those condoms don't fall for the ol' Trojan horse trick.
Amnesty International has urged Saudi authorities to release a Saudi university professor who is facing flogging and imprisonment for meeting a woman to whom he is not related for coffee in the conservative Islamic kingdom...Yes, but was the coffee made from a 100% Arabica beans?
Polygamy in the U.S. is not limited to remote enclaves in the West or breakaway sects once affiliated with the Mormon Church. Several scholars say it's growing among black Muslims in the inner city — and particularly in Philadelphia, which is known for its large orthodox black Muslim community....Fantastic! These guys can't take care of one family and they're taking on another?
Staff at a UK top-security prison appear frightened inmates and are concerned that Muslim prisoners are taking control of the wings, according to an internal review...Just close your eyes...It will go away.
Join me next week for another fun-filled episode of Super Whacky Muslim Fun Time...
