Should France ban the veil?

Because you can't tell who the father is

Sadly, I'm sure that the real answer is similarly asinine

I honestly think that is the real answer; ancient Arabia didn't have DNA testing. Otherwise, why else would Islam ban women from having multiple husbands in your opinion?

duuuuuuuuuuuuuh. Because a woman's body is a sanctuary and only one man should be allowed to enter that sanctuary.

Would homosexual Muslims be allowed to have more than one husband if Muslim's were tolerant of homosexuals and gay marriage was legal?

That is an interesting theory. I think it has more to do with a complete disregard for women, however. When you think about it, the power dynamic of 'allowing' a woman more than 1 husband dictates that men become the possessed, something a patriarchy certainly couldn't allow.

It was probably a mix of factors, and paternity was likely a very convenient factor.

Homosexuals get thrown of a cliff... did you not know? Therefore, dealing with the matter becomes easy, they don't have to bother about making rules of the number of men a guy wants to marry. SIMPLE!

Anyways, homosexuals fight for their rights, and I read enwaibe was supportative of it. shouldnt they allow polygamy too?

A man is attracted to a man
A woman is attracted to a woman
A woman is attracted to 4 men
A man is attracted to 4 women

Grant everyone their right!

This may be of some help to enlighten your rather uneducated mind!

Why can men have multiple wives, but women cannot have multiple husbands?

This chapter should help you undertand your question....

Yes, to your surprise, homosexuals do not exist in an Islamic world. I just informed you fo the punishment; they get thrown of a cliff. I know Christianity disapproves of homosexuals too, not sure about Judaism(maybe you can help me with that).

Homosexuals are just as poorly treated by all the monotheistic religions. Pretty awful. Judaism and Christianity, granted, no longer stone people for it (though you still get the odd zealot here and there!) But back in their own respective "dark ages" they did their fair share. Islam, unfortunately, is still going through a pretty epic dark age in most parts of the world and, CURRENTLY, has the worst abuse of them.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homosexuality_in_ancient_Greece

The most common form of same-sex relationships between males in Greece was "paiderastia" meaning "boy love". It was a relationship between an older male and an adolescent youth. In Athens the older man was called erastes, he was to educate, protect, love, and provide a role model for his beloved. His beloved was called eromenos whose reward for his lover lay in his beauty, youth, and promise.

I can see where the catholic church gets their influences from budumtish.

It is evident that the nature of women is physiologically and psychologically different from that of men. Psychologically speaking, the woman is monogamous by her very nature. Furthermore, in all cultures, new and old, the headship of the family is normally man’s. One can imagine what would happen if the family had two or more heads. Furthermore, if the woman was married to more than one husband, which would be the father of her children?
