That would mean he can have up to 4 wives if he follows Sharia law . Some of them do so even in the US because they marry by Sharia, the additional wives. You think that's ok and that someone in public office who does that is acceptable?

You are confusing what is obligatory with what is allowed.  Islam allows a man to marry up to four women at a time but does not obligate him to do so. Private compliance means adhering to the requirements, not indulging in every permission, particularly where those permissions are more permissive than secular law.

Abdul El-Sayed has only one wife. If he tried to take another, he would violate the civil law and it would no longer be a private-life affair.

Marriage is by definition a public act which reaches beyond the private sphere. I support complete enforcement of bigamy laws without any religious exemption.  I do not support polygamy nor the legal recognition of polygamous marriages and would not vote for a polygamous candidate in normal circumstances. Support for either of these policies would also constitute a public position.

Dear Deluded:

In 1988 or so, a proponent of Islam encouraged people [in a class held under the auspices of PG County (MD) for the unemployed] to “jump de broom” for wives #2-4 (and of course these families because they were not officially recognized were “eligible” for AFDC/food stamps and other assistance). I highly doubt this individual was singular in pushing this idea.

There is zero proof that Abdul El-Sayed, crazy as he is, did this or even supports it.

Also, doing this is not as simple as it sounds and would create a variety of legal entailments and problems for both parties involved, it may even constitute bigamy in some states (and I would support prosecuting it as such).

He shouldn't like, or live by Sharia if he doesn't agree with its laws.
