 *Williams wrote openly of 'Islamification' in a 2010 article around halal meat and polygamy: 'one area of Islamification that has come to light recently concerns the food that we eat. Islamic food agencies are pushing to integrate halal into the mainstream market in the UK'. Referring to a Vancouver court assessing the constitutionality of polygamy, she proceeded to associating inter-sex marriage and 'Muslim polygamy': 'could polygamy be incorporated into some European legal systems in the future? Just as we have seen the normalising of homosexual unions - could this be the next push against marriage and the family?' <ref> Andrea Williams, [http://www.christianconcern.com/blog/halal-and-polygamy-whose-culture-do-we-want Halal and polygamy - whose culture do we want?], ''Christian Concern'', accessed October 3 2016. </ref>
