Speaking of child marriage: "Man charged with statutory rape in 'marriage' to 14-year-old girl," by Christine Vendel for The Kansas City Star, November 8 (thanks to Axel):
Vincent Mosby signed a marriage contract and paid a dowry in a religious ceremony in August, police said.Mosby, 23, of Kansas City didn't legally wed his 14-year-old bride, however, because Missouri law won't allow it without a judge's order. Police said she was pressured into the union because her mother and stepfather thought she was going to be sexually active with a boy her age.
Although the bride's stepfather arranged the "marriage," according to court records, other relatives frowned upon the union and told police in late August. The relatives also took the girl to protect her from further sexual abuse, according to court records.
A relative told police that Mosby called and threatened violence if family members didn't "give me back my wife in 72 hours," according to court records. Two days later, on Sept. 9, someone fired three shots into the Kansas City home of the girl's aunt. No one was hit.
Police arrested Mosby on Saturday for his alleged sexual relationship with the teenager. Jackson County prosecutors on Sunday filed one count of statutory rape. A judge set a $100,000 cash-only bond.
Police said the girl's stepfather and mother became concerned that she was going to become sexually active, so the stepfather allegedly approached Mosby about marrying the girl. The girl was "strongly encouraged" to wed Mosby, police said.
The stepfather, Mosby and the teen had several "sit downs" before the stepfather arranged for a religious ceremony on Aug. 4 at her home, not far from the stepfather's mosque.
Two members of the mosque attended, but the bride "was not allowed to be present," court records said. She waited in her room upstairs. Her stepfather allegedly came upstairs after the ceremony, which consisted of prayers and a contract signing, to announce that she was married.
Police say they have the "marriage contract" with the signatures of Mosby, the girl and the stepfather....
In Islam, boys and girls are considered adults based on when they hit puberty, and people in some parts of the world do marry young, said Mahnaz Shabbir of Stilwell, a past president of the Heartland Muslim Council.
However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land....
Let us not forget that islam not only allows for marriage of pre-pubescent girls, but divorce as well. (koran 65:4)
Jew Lover
I missed the section of the koran that said islam says muslimes should live by the laws of the land...can someone please point out where islam states this?
One must assume that Mr 'Vincent Mosby' is a convert to Islam. No way would Muslims marry off a Muslima to an Infidel.
I wonder how many Western pedophiles are attracted to Islam once they find out that sharia permits them to legally marry girls as young as six and molest those girls in various ways (though without vaginal penetration; sodomy is permissible), from then on, until full vaginal use is permitted when the girl hits puberty, or when she turns nine?
Islam is known to attract social outcasts, such as ex-cons, etc.
Wouldn't it be funny if he appeared on Chris Hanson's "To Catch a Predator" Series?

Chris: But she is 14!
Vincent Mosby: But our religion permits us to have sex with a 6 year old! It says so in the koran!
However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land....
That is, until Islam takes over and abolishes such laws, replacing them with Shari'a.
However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land...
If you think some kufr is watching.
However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land...
Indeed, Allah's admonitions are written plainly in the Quran: Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's... and My kingdom is not of this world .
Oh wait, silly me, that was Jesus.
"However, she said, Islam also says followers should live by the laws of the land...."
And I've a bridge for sale with a beautiful view of New York Harbor!
again, stealing from another culture, this time we Jews, who say "The law of the land is The Law"
Wow this moslem likes his children really old. His prophet liked them at 6 years old. Maybe he should get a islamic community citation for his patients.
CAIR official: No, you are wrong, Vince. The age is 9. You aren't following Islam if you have it at 6! Hadrat Mohammed (saw) himself waited until his wife was 9, before...
On DDA's comment above, there's one part of me that finds it funny that Western pedophiles convert to Islam so that Muslims would happily turn over their daughters to them to be sex objects - not much different from what passes as a Nikah.
When are the mother and step father being charged???
Accessory to statutory rape, contributing to the delinquency, accessory to kidnapping, and because they were paid, slavery.
