| Muzzies pPractice Polygamy in Toronto |
| 2008-05-27 |
| "Polygamy is happening in Toronto; it's not common, but it's happening," said Aly Hindy, imam at Salahuddin Islamic Centre. Hindy, hardly a stranger to controversy, is well known for his friendship with the family of Omar Khadr, the young Canadian detainee at Guantanamo Bay, and his outspoken views on the implementation of Islamic law. In the past five years, Hindy said he has officiated or "blessed" more than 30 polygamous marriages; the most recent was two months ago. Even some imams in the GTA have second wives, he added. "This is in our religion and nobody can force us to do anything against our religion," he said. "If the laws of the country conflict with Islamic law, if one goes against the other, then I am going to follow Islamic law, simple as that." |

| #4 Nope, can't force you to act "against your religion", you got that right. Other than tossing your polygamous asses in the pokey, that is. Look up "unlawful" sometime, Sheik. |

| #3 Lucky for him he doesn't live in Texas, but then again, maybe the requirement to follow the law only applies to Mormons. |

| #2 So Hindy has laid down the gauntlet. What are Canadians gonna do about it? Recent history gives no comfort. |

| #1 "If the laws of the country conflict with Islamic law, if one goes against the other, then I am going to follow Islamic law, simple as that." I can think of no more truthful declaration of war between the West and Islam than that. Every person in the world should hear those words, and interpret them accordingly. No nation can survive with more than one legal system. Shoot him and hang his body in the center of downtown Quebec for all to see, with these words on a plaque at his feet. |
