Irish Anti-Polygamy Law 'Racist'?
Remember back in the 1800s, when polygamy was, well, frowned upon, and the Mormon pioneers were persecuted when they practiced it? Well, times have changed. If not in the U.S., at least in Ireland. Muslim immigrants who have tried to bring their plural wives and children from each marriage with them to Ireland have run up against Ireland's anti-polygamy law, similar to laws in other countries. Now, the Irish Council for Civil Liberties has said the law is religious discrimination and should be illegal. Go figure.
