Shalom, Muslims don’t dislike Jews in general, in fact we are very closely linked & have a category which affords the Jews & Christians special status as ‘People of The Scriptures’. A brief glance into history will affirm this position. It was the Ottoman Empire which invited the Sephardic Jews into it’s state when they were driven out by the Spanish in 1492. Even Salahuddin had an esteemed Jewish physician in his court, the famous Maimonides (famous for the medical oath attributed to him & also for his works on Judaism). We do however have an issue with Zionism & Israel & the continued oppression & annihilation of the Palestinans- off all faiths & the relentless expropriation of their land. It is indeed unfortunate some who claim to be Jews, namely the Ashkenazim- who incidentally are not Bani Israel, or descendants of Jacob, rather they are the descendants of the Khazar/Kazan Empire of Central Asia & the Caucasus who converted to Judaism to stem the onslaught of Christian Byzantium & the Muslim East- act in such a way as to associate Judaism with colonialist expanisionism of the most brutal sort. This is the basis for the current animosity towards the Israelis/Askhenazis. As far as I am aware there is manifestly more hatred for Muslims amongst Jews than vice-versa. The monoply of the Jewish media & business interests, not only in the US but all over the Globe, and the ramblings of the political fraternity vis-a-vis Israeli/Askhenazi intransigence & contempt for humanity only serves to further alienate the common folk of the two great faiths. The vast majority of Muslim leaders try to deflect attention from their own despotic regimes by deliberatly inflaming emotions for the Palestinians, without acting with any substance. It is rather akin to the situation in the US with the incumbent government & the demonisation of Islam breeding hatred for Muslims

There isn’t actually a religious contract in Islam, just a short sermon to relate the union of marraige to the couple & the guests, in religious terms to remind them of their obligations to one another & God. The contract itself is witnessed by two eligable males (by that i mean those who satisfy certain criteria for being witnesses- character, standing etc- not batchelors!) or a male & two females (the reason for this has to do with the practicalites of calling witnesses to account in the case of disputes & locating males is usually easier). A sum of money is used as a sort of bond on the contract & this is usually in relation to the social standing of the bride ( can be anything from a couple of hundred dollars to hundreds of thousands, Just a point: this is kept by the wife if the husband divorces her, & returned by her if she requests a divorce). Both husband & wife have to fulfil their respective obligations with regard to the marriage & these are laid out in religious law, the man being financially responsible for the women in every aspect of her expenditure, insomuch as if she is used to domestic assistance it is incumbent upon him to provide it at his expense & to provide her with maintenance in return for her fulfiling the domestic duties (whatever they have decided upon) Any money she earns through business ventures or otherwise is solely her property & he has no claim on it even if he is struggling to make ends meet. A right of the male is not to have conjugal relations denied, unless due to ill health. This is to preserve the family unit as the foundation upon which all of society rests & therefore there is no excuse for infidelity or unfaithfulness. As a male I’d say if you look at the Islamic scriptures, the women has it easier in many respects, it’s just a shame the majority of muslims don’t live by it. As for polygamy; it is permitted but only if the wives are treated equally, not only financially as in providing residence & upkeep but also physically, which is something very few men in very unusual circumstances would be capable of. On top of that you’d be very selfish & somewhat reckless to do so if your wife disagreed, & would be held accountable.
