THANK YOU for the very helpful and shocked answers. i appreciate rimlaw also for understanding the way it is with our fellow idiotic countrymen, converting to islam in order to evade prosecution.
it just crossed my mind because, as i am working in court, a guy was arrested after hiding in saudi arabia where he converted to islam while his legal wife filed for a concubinage case in the philippines. so many men who are keeping concubines are coming out as converted muslims, and it seems their wives are helpless as soon as they become so and come out flaunting their new wives. it baffles me. is there a different islamic practice going on in our country that is so alien from the true islam?
there was also an american in our province who committed rape against all his housemaids. to evade prosecution, he married all of them, because philippine law absolves rape if the rapist marries the victim. the only way he could marry all of his victims is to convert to islam so he could have many wives in accordance with what we morons understand it.
that's why i believe there is a need for us christians to be enlightened by this kind of practice because it has become a "haven for criminality" if this trend goes on and on. i particularly despise the way it disempowers the offended party.
yes, i believe islam does not esteem sinful acts and provides for a more severe punishment... it's so sad and unfair that the misinformation is spreading out like a gangrene in our society...
