NPR Two-Part Series on Muslim Plural Marriage in the US

Assalaamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullaahi wa Barakaatuh.

Today, NPR (National Public Radio) aired a two-part series on the practice of polygyny amongst Muslims living in the US. The first part focuses on the immigrant community, the second on the African American community. It's interesting to see the contrast between the reactions and opinions expressed in the two communities maashaaAllaah. The second part audio won't be available until around 7 this evening, but maaashaaAllaah the brothers and sisters who were interviewed did an excellent job. So, definitely visit the second story page later to listen to the audio.
