[quote]Abdullah and Oosman: The Prophet is not saying in the Hadith, SHOULD have married a younger woman or even recommending him to do so, in my opinion, he is merely stating his opinion. (Recall the date palm tree Hadith, where he simply expressed his opinion on date palm watering).

How convenient of Muslims to construe it as a command when it appeases them?

Abdullah:

>>Islamic Shariah forbids smoking because the prophet Muhammad said that anything which is harmful to the body is forbidden.

May I have the reference please?

>>How would polygamy be against the publics interest? It's not like women are being forced into a polygamous relationship.

That is exactly the point. Women are morally and psychologically cajoled into it. 
 
Oosman:

>>Junaid, smoking is indeed a very poor analogy.

Why?

>>Also please do answer why you are so bent upon restricting polygyny when Quran Sunnah leave it open for us to do as we please.

That is exactly the point. The Koran and Sunnah leave it for us to decide based on our reason and common sense. So that is what we are deciding for ourselves based on all our common sense and reason.

Remember, the issue is of 'permission' not 'multiple marriage'.

>>Why do you want to restrict something that Allah has allowed.

God has also allowed wife beating as a last resort to saving marriage. But it stands as a suggestion not as free allowance. Likewise multiple marriage is a suggestion. Unfortunately both suggestions have been rampantly abused.

>>Next will you be forbidding something that is halal?

Please refrain from conjecture

General Comment:
Also spare me emotional outbursts.
