Muslims call for polygamy to be legalized in Italy after same sex marriage gets nod (DEBATE)

Over two years ago, Jihad Watch covered the story of the Muslim cleric in Germany who declared that Muslims in the West should “demand their rights” to practice polygamy.



Now Westerners are again faced with the same demand, only made more strongly, and this time in Italy. It comes from the Union of Islamic Communities and Organizations, Italy’s largest Muslim umbrella group. The argument: if gay marriage, which Muslims disagree with, is a civil right, then Italians must accept polygamy as a civil right, too.



This so-called civil rights call for the institution of polygamy represents far more than some pursuit of a status equal to that of gays. Polygamy is a degradation of women’s rights, and represents a rejection of democratic constitutions that uphold the principle of equality for women. This case for polygamy is an example of how Islamic supremacists use our democracies against us and encroach upon our freedoms in their pursuit of Sharia. Note also that Hamza Piccardo, the founder of the Union of Islamic Communities and Organizations, stated:



“Do not underestimate the demographic action of polygamy. It would rebalance population decline and the consequent need for foreign labour.”



Piccardo presents polygamy as a solution to labour shortfalls, when his real agenda of colonizing the West through the Islamic practice of hijrah has been glaringly revealed in his call for polygamy.
