Raymond Ibrahim: Muslim Authorities Say Girls Can Be Married “Even If They Are In The Cradle”

Dec 31, 2014 9:31 am By Raymond Ibrahim

Muslim attempts at “reformation” continue to be limited to words not actions.  A few days ago, efforts to set a minimum age for marriage in Saudi Arabia “received a blow after the Grand Mufti said there was nothing wrong with girls below 15 getting married.”

Two years earlier, the justice ministry began pushing for setting a minimum age in the Arabian kingdom.  According to Gulf News, “It submitted an integrated study on the negative psychological and social effects of underage marriages to religious scholars and requested a fatwa that sets a minimum age.”

However, the ulema—the “religious scholar,” the learned ones of Islamic law—responded by totally ignoring the request.  Saudi Arabia’s highest religious authority, its Grand Mufti, Sheikh Abdul Aziz, shrugged the whole matter off by saying “There is currently no intention to discuss the issue.”  In other words, case closed.

Although the brief Gulf News report focuses on the age 15, going back to earlier reports when the justice ministry began bringing this issue up, one discovers that the issue at stake is full-blown pedophilia.

Back in 2011, for example, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council, issued a fatwa asserting that there is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.”… Keep reading

      You’ve heard of the longstanding Islamic tradition of thighing, no?

      The perfect paedophile married Aysha when when she was six,and groomed her for his fogging purposes until she was nine.

      When he had his way with her she must have so badly internally torn up that she never had ant children.

      The followers and proponents of the religion of pi.s want to continually justify this practice in the name of their fake prophet and their satanic deity.

    These *men* will be brought to judgment by the True God who has shown His love and affection for little children through His Son, Jesus Christ (Matt. 18:6). This verse speaks of “causing a little one to *sin*”…so how much worse will it be for those who deliberately harm by raping, these little children.

      Better that a millstone be tied around their neck and they be thrown into the depth of the sea. What an utterly rotten, insane ideology is Islam that its believers would imagine such an obscenity to be acceptable. Islam produces insanity in its believers.

    Islam: the religion of choice for pedophiles for 1400 years.

    “..the fatwa complained that “Uninformed interference with Sharia rulings by the press and journalists is on the increase”—likely a reference to the justice ministry’s advocacy—“posing dire consequences to society,..”

    Translation:
    Interference with Sharia is on the increase posing dire consequences to Islam.

    This is why we should be optimistic; today, Islam is facing real criticism for the first time in fourteen centuries. Muslim intellectuals are starting to ask tough questions and Muslim scholars have no satisfying answers. Islam is slowly but surely dying.

    Islam is nothing but an excuse
    With other Muslims it is pedophilia under the pre-text of marriage.
    When Muslims rape non-Muslims it is also called the “will of Allah”

    Muslims follow Muhammad’s shameful example.
    My question to Muslims:
    Have you no honor left at all?
    The humiliation that Muslims should rightly feel is not caused from outside of Islam but from within its own disgusting rotted core.

    Let’s put this negativity into perspective

    In this blog I have seen over the years, much to my alarm, a tendency to badmouth the Holy Prophet Mohammed. Well, no one can say he robbed a cradle. He negotiated his deal for Aisha with her father, and didn’t take her into possession until she was six. Plus, he claims he didn’t nail her until her gala ninth birthday party.

    Islam promotes the practice of pedophilia- but the leftist media wont say this. How many Muslims who rape children wll be registered as sex offenders? Odds are very few- they will argue raping children is their right, and to stop them would be racist

    I was going to post that fundamentalist Muslims and their prophet and moon god Allah behave like animals, but this is a disservice to animals, they are evil slime, no words can describe their depravity.
