Catholic Site: Obergefell Will Bring Islamic Sharia Law

According to the Catholic site Crisis, American Muslims are thrilled with the Obergefell ruling because they know it opens the door to polygamy. And then Sharia law will come to America. They write:

It’s no secret that Islam is no friend to the gay lifestyle. The issue of gay rights is a non-starter in Muslim-majority societies. In many places, the big question for gays is not whether they will be allowed to marry, but whether they will be allowed to live.

Muslims, however, are only a small minority in the U.S. It would not be to their benefit to make an issue of the matter. Indeed, Muslim leaders in the U.S. probably understand that the Supreme Court decision will work to their advantage.

How so? In two ways. The first is that the legalization of same-sex “marriage” leads inexorably to the legalization of polygamy. The arguments used to justify SSM can just as easily be used to justify multiple-partner marriages. In making the case for gay marriage, the Supreme Court has wiped out the case against polygamy.

So in the long run—and it probably won’t take that long—the biggest beneficiaries of the court ruling will be polygamous Muslim men. Polygamy, in turn, will help to accelerate Muslim population growth, thus increasing the likelihood that a parallel sharia legal system will emerge in America (as it already has in the UK).

In short, to paraphrase Mark Steyn, the same people who brought you Heather has Two Mommies will be happy to bring you Heather has Four Mommies and a Big Bearded Daddy.
