Reader comment on item: Westerners Welcome Harems
in response to reader comment: What's wrong with polygamy?

Submitted by Ari Zade (Australia), Nov 28, 2008 at 00:00

In our obsession with being anti-Islam and anti-Sharia, we should not lose sight of the fact that Judeo-Christian-style monogamy has no foundation in nature nor any necessary link to civilized culture. There are plenty of viable cultures that have practiced polygyny, polyandry, and other variations on the polygamy theme.
