Look Up,  "Things Change."  Remember that it wasn't too long ago that
two men couldn't get married in kanada...Things change. You might not
even be able to imagine how much things change. I suspect it won't be
too much longer that a man will be able to have four wives in kanada.
What's good for the kanadian homosexual is good for the kanadian
heterosexual MUSLIM.



Ugandan 'polygamy' bill protest

By Will Ross

BBC News, Kampala


 There were lots of Muslim women at the demonstration
More than 1,000 Muslims have demonstrated in the Ugandan capital,
Kampala, against a proposed law which they say contradicts the Koran.
The Domestic Relations Bill, which is due to be debated in parliament,
is designed to harmonise family relations and protect the rights of
women.

But the Muslim community say aspects of the bill contravene Islamic
law.

Some protesters stood outside the gates of parliament holding placards
urging MPs to leave the holy book alone.

They see the bill as an attempt to rewrite the Koran.

'No compromise'

One of the contentious issues in the bill concerns polygamy. It states
that a husband should seek permission from his first wife before
taking a second.

On the issue of inheritance, the proposed law calls on women to be
given a fair share of a husband's wealth.

The Muslim community reject this noting that the Koran stipulates what
women may inherit if their husband dies.

There were plenty of Muslim women also at today's demonstration. Some
held four fingers in the in support of the Islamic law which allows a
man to have four wives.

One of the key aims of the bill is to protect the rights of women.

Parliamentarians will be debating whether to end cultural practices
such as wife inheritance and the paying of dowries or bride price.

But for some, the bill does not go far enough, for example, it does
not in its present form condemn marital rape.

Although this demonstration was peaceful, some Muslims say they are
prepared to use violent means to resist the proposed law.

Muslim leaders have called for the law to exempt Muslims as they say
Islamic law cannot be compromised.

Muslims account for more than 10% of the country's population.

			    ***

And world wide they far, FAR out number homosexuals. Think about what
will happen in kanada, moose, when the Muslims get pissed about not
being able to have four wives. They are going to point at you homos
(sexuals and philes) and say. "Hey, dude! You allowed exceptions for
them!."
