Muhammad use to divide his time among his wives to prevent jealousy. On the night it was Hafsa's turn she went to go visit her father. She returned before expected and she caught Muhammad and the maid Maryam in bed having sex. Hafsa was furious and first told Aisha; soon the rest of wives found out. Muhammad was ostracized by wives and the sex scandel caused him much trouble that he justified his actions by revelation (66:1-4)

They had no other choice, islam or die. Too bad. Maybe they should choose:
JESUS: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No man comes to the Father but by Me."
"Hear O Israel, the Lord is our God, the Lord is One"
(Shema Yisrael Adonai eloheinu Adonai ehad)

are you sure these hadith are accurate? and if so, make sure you have the number correct. i have been searching for them and i cannot find them. only 2 anti-islamic sites come up. a little suspicious, wouldn't you think?
i still do not understand even after reading the hadith. where did the whole story come from? the hadith was about something completely different!!

Because a lot of them feel entitled to more than one woman. IN many countries where they thrive, women are treated with no respect, which is reflective why some of the radicals hate america, because in our country men and women rights are equal.. for the most part. Besides.. when they die aren't they sopposed to go to heaven and get 100 virgins each or something like that?? That should explain the mindset.

King David was more than an adulturer; he murdered a man to have his wife and still the Jews hail him is one of their greatest leaders.

Does it matter to you why they follow him? Shut up and get a life; worry about yourself, first.
