I have read information about this from many different sources I'm sure I couldn't find them all nor do I care too. So I will not be posting my sources since this not a term paper that I am writing.....Care too list your sources that these cultures didn't have harems?
AHa, the verbal alternative to "sleight of hand", change the subject and try to get them to attempt to prove a negative.

I'm just trying to say I don't think it is really necessary for me to site my sources. Everyone knows that the Arabs and Turks had harems and the Vikings are usually associated with rape and pillage. If he feels like proving me wrong then go ahead and let him.

As for your comment about my verbal sleight of hand I think someone would have to be pretty dumb to fall for that one.
