Prejudice studies (2) -Japanese has prejudice toward muslim-

 Prejudice often force people to make an misunderstanding.  In last blog, I wrote the reason why Japanese people has some prejudice of muslim. I think that our society rarely has communication with muslim. In my case, I have less muslim friends than Christian friends. Therefore, I do not have enough knowledge about muslim and the soiety.

 Today, I write the other misunderstanding. Before I talked with my Japanese friends. Then I talked that I have some muslim friends and sometimes chat with them. Then, one of my friend asked me "how many mothers does your muslim friends have? ".

 I think that this is a typical misunderstanding. Because he thought that all muslim countries has polygyny. Therefore, he asked me that how many mothers?  So, UAE, Morroco, Saudi Arabia are polygyny countries as far as I know. But some muslim countries are not polygyny countries. For example, Tunisia, Indonessia, Turkey.

 And some people also make a misunderstanding which they can have many wives in polygyny countries. Moreover some people envy this system. However,  they can have only 4 wives in their islam law basically. Its one of other misunderstanding.

 So, maybe some people think that polygyny are obscene. But its hard for them to keep family life of polygyny. Because the husbands have to treat wives equally in islam law. And they have to have a lost money to provide their wives too.

 If I had been born in these countries, Would I have chose to get some wives?  Maybe i will not. because I think that it is so hard for me to keep these relationships.
