stepped on! Have you noticed Latiffa never got her two maids like it said in hercontract? She mentioned it more than once to Mohammed but he always came up with some excuse!

Here in the States, polygamy is not allowed regardless of how the Mormons behave in Utah or whatever goes on in the hippie communes in Oregon. Can you believe it? I'm amazed about the subcultures we have and how people beat the government by creating a so-called religion that will entitle them not only to a tax shelter but also the freedom to quote their “Book” to get what they want, even if it infringes State or Federal laws. Tough luck!

Can someone update me on how common it is for Muslins to have more than one wife when they live abroad? When I saw Said with Ranya and Jade at the mall, I became really curious about the polygamy issue in Brazil or here in the States, i.e., when Said brought his 2 wives to Brazil, do the government care about him having 2 wives? If it were in the States, how will the government treat this family? It would be interesting to see how he’d fill out the US Census Report. Perhaps Said wouldn’t apply for US citizenship because he might only be interested in creating a business empire, have investments to secure his money in US dollars, etc. and live happily ever after in Fez.

well, and this is just my opinion. said got married in fez, where it is allowed to have up to 4 wives. there is no documentation about their marriages in the us or brazil, etc....but since they all live under the same roof, i think the law would probably consider them as roomates. i dont know how the law goes there but im pretty sure said can afford it. besides he's an investor, it's not like he's trying to get a job at burger king....lol....
you know when it comes to rich people they are welcome anywhere, no matter what their religion, habits or customs may be.
i know it sounds biast, especially for a country that prides itself for equlity but thats how it is....:(

oh, also i think that in that case either jade or ranya would have to go to the police and file a report that he has married both of hem, with proof of course....this if they lived in the united states.....i think....

That was a joke someone sent to me and I thought I share it with ya'll.

--- is the only one who noticed it was just a joke!

I don't have anything against Muslims and/or Taliban members. But I will tell you one thing, since September 11 I have become very vigilant, somewhat paranoid about those who surround us.

I live in a suburb of Tampa, FL and it is here where the professor was fired from USF for "allegedly" having tides to terrorist groups. It is also in the West coast of Florida where most of the psychos who flew the planes into the World Trade Center resided and took flying lessons.

I understand there is good and bad in every culture, Cubans were stereotyped in the early 80's as "Marielitos" and early 90's as "Balseros" ... Believe me when I tell you, I know exactly how it feels when your culture is the butt of jokes.
