Is there any limit in the marriage?

By Qur’an you can have up to 4 wives (but some people say it really depends on the man)

But, you can easily divorce your wife (just with a statement?) and then you have to wait (1 month or 3 months) for the divorce to count. You can’t divorce the same woman more than 3 times without her sleeping with a husband she married after the one…Also, the husband doesn’t need to tell his “other” wives that he is married to another woman. He is allowed to marry a non-muslim, although the woman is not allowed to marry a non-muslim…

Am I correct?

For every deadbeat father in America that you name, I can name 10 that are doing what they should and are supporting their kids. Does that mean there is no problem with deadbeat dads? Absolutly not, it’s just that all divorced men are not deadbeats and not every Muslim who is divorced is an outstand model of what a father should be. I think even you would have to admit that 58 times is excesive.

Hello Lance …

Yes not all American men are deadbeat dads and not all American men are outstanding models of what a dad should be…ALSO not every Muslim that is divorced is a model of what a dad should be.
Who am I to say what is excessive?

At least we don’t train our 9-10 year old kids with machine guns or sell them lies about the Holocaust (as they teach their kids in the Gaza Strip that the Holocaust never happened) in gradeschool or brainwash them to be suicide bombers.
