"Under Islamic law, a man can have as many wives as he can support, with the traditional number topping out at around four."
The is the very first sentecnce and the begining of false statements. In Islamic laws, a man can not have more than 4 wives at one time. Also when he is ready to mary second/third or fourth, he must have permissions from his other existing wives.
"The Arabic word harem means "the place of the women." The most important part of the harem was the zenana, or the inner sanctum where the sultan’s fantasies were played out...."
This statement is also wrong - zenana is a place where all the female stays and outsider men not allowed, however, this place is occupied by female famiy members and not a place for Sultan's fantasies.
All three comments before this are very true, just to add one line to Tvrss comment - how about Playboy Mansion ?
