But, what is most revealing about his answer is the long-winded round-about way he answers it. When someone can't give a straight answer to a straight question, one has to wonder why.
As well as the obvious answer to this, it is also because they are so arrogant & sure of themselves that they see no problem in doing so..
Does anyone know his background?
Abdul Raheem Green, formerly Anthony Green, born 1962 [1] or 1964 [2], is a British convert to Islam and Islamic lecturer.
Born in Dar-es-salaam in Tanzania to British parents [2], his father (born in England), Gavin Green, was a colonial administrator in the then extant British Empire. At an early age he moved back to the UK with his parents. His mother is of original Polish origin [3] [4].
At the age of ten he attended a Roman Catholic Monastic boarding school at Gilling Castle and then went onto Ampleforth College and went on to study history in the University of London. However, he left his education unfinished in an effort to devote himself to Islamic works.
He became dissatisfied with Christianity at the age of eight with it not making sense to him Green researched and practiced many religions [6] [3] [4], including Buddhism (for three years) before converting to Islam. [2]
Whilst in Britain his father in 1976 began working for Barclays Bank International and was subsequently sent to Cairo, Egypt, to set up a branch of the bank there.
His study of the Qur'an immediately attracted him to Islam leading to his conversion in 1988. He has given Da'wah in Britain since then. [2] [7].
Green worked for five years in the London Central Mosque and Islamic Cultural Centre as the Visits and English Dawa Co-ordinator, but now runs a consultancy, Green and Chambers Consulting, with his friend and fellow convert to Islam Yusuf Chambers, as well as making regular appearances on PeaceTV and Islam Channel.
Green had two wives, now one, who is British-born Muslim of Pakistani origin and has eleven children. Currently, he is working with an Islamic media company based in England and engages himself in da?wah activities including lectures on Islam in London?s famous Hyde Park. He is well known for his efforts at the renowned "Speaker?s Corner" in London?s Hyde Park. [2]
Whilst claiming two wives, Green was asked in an interview: Does not the British law prohibit bigamy? Green responded "It does. Yet several Britishers are bigamists. But those who practise bigamy can protect the second marriage under the provisions of 'common law wives'. Under this children out of such marriages are legitimate and wives inherit property."[8]
