Polygamy?
I was driving home from the CPC this afternoon, and I decided to flip the radio over to NPR to see if they were talking about anything of interest. I happened to catch the beginning of a special report on the increasing practice of polygamy among black Muslim families in Philadelphia. Of course, they changed the names to protect those who could be prosecuted, but other than that, it was an extremely candid look at a segment of society I've never heard of. You can listen to it here; it's only 12 minutes long, and extremely interesting.

I'll have to listen in a bit!! (I'm procrastinating on studying for my world lit final at the moment...busy stuff.)
We actually had a really fascinating discussion about Polygamy the other day in my world lit class, and if it's acceptable based on Islam/Koranic religions, and how it applies in Christianity.
I'll email you about it later...this comment is getting long.
Lylas!
