Exposing the role that Islamic jihad theology and ideology play in the modern global conflicts

Over 1000 known child marriages in Germany

Aug 15, 2016 10:05 am By Christine Douglass-Williams

Increasingly bizarre news is coming out of Germany as the country gets beaten down by sharia norms due to the massive influx of Muslim migrants.

Now, at least 1000 child marriages are documented in Germany; and a German judge ruled in June that the marriage of a 14-year-old Syrian girl to her 20-year-old cousin was valid.

It was deemed a landmark ruling which bore serious implications for the country, as the judge was said to have “openly and completely uncritically quoted sharia law”.

child marriages
“Report: More Than 1,000 Known Child Marriages in Germany”, by Raheem Kassam, Breitbart, August 14, 2016:

German authorities are reportedly “sounding the alarm” over a sharp rise in child marriages after noting that more and more girls are disappearing from school. Justice Minister Heiko Maas has announced “drastic” new measures to tackle the problem.

The girls are usually married to older men, and the trend is being linked to the new wave of migrants who entered the country over the past 18 months. The state has logged over 1,000 child marriages, but N24.de reports that the number of unreported cases may dwarf this number.

In the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, Mr. Maas said he would be setting up a new working group which will begin its work on September 5th.

SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann said the protection of children is an absolute priority which must also apply to minors from a migrant background.

“Forced marriages are, in Germany, punishable,” he said. “…that’s how it should be.”

“No one, especially not a child should be forced into marriage.”

The marriages, the report notes, are often arranged. Oppermann notes that child marriages often result in girls becoming pregnant at a young age and subsequently leaving school. “[Y]oung refugees must be informed of their rights in Germany,” he said.

And officials are also contemplating a change in law to refuse to accept an underage marriage that took place in a different country before the migrants arrived.

In June a German judge ruled that the marriage of a 14-year-old Syrian girl to her 20-year-old cousin was valid, despite Germany law. The Oberlandesgericht Bamberg (Higher Regional Court in Bamberg, Bavaria) decided the marriage must be recognised as the wedding has already taken place as was recognised as legal in their native Syria, conducted in accordance with Sunni marriage rites.

“These marriages have been recognized in Germany, although they violate our rights,” said Interior Committee Bundestag spokesman Armin Schuster.

The consequences currently being touted include prison terms of up to five years, even for marriages which are conducted privately in religious, cultural, or social ceremonies.

N24 notes that even UNICEF is concerned about the child marriages.

CEO Christian Schneider said. “For the welfare of refugee children who live in Germany, the state has a particular responsibility to protect – for them the same principles apply as for German children”.

In February, Breitbart London reported that dozens of child brides had arrived in Norway, with the youngest being just 11-years of age. The phenomenon has also caused concern in the Netherlands, prompted by the disappearance of the nine-month pregnant 14-year-old girl Fatema Alkasem and her 24-year-old husband.

Last month the German region of North Rhine-Westphalia, which has seen 188 marriages of migrants who are underage, saw calls grow for the government to intervene and stop the practice…

    The cringing Disunited Kingdom does not merely recognise polygamy amongst
    mohammedans. It actually pays men benefits for a harem of up to four.
    Child brides are completely overlooked, as were/are the British victims of muslim
    child abuse.
    Even the cultural enrichers from South Eastern Europe who we, currently,
    have to admit, have brides who were under age when married & are still
    acquiring child brides.

      Maybe this will keep Muslim men satiated long enough to stop raping British children.

        ?

        It’s the polygamy that’s causing the excess of rapists!!!

        Take 100 muslims, 50 male & 50 female
        10 males take 4 wives each,
        Leaves 10 females for 40 males!!
        After they’ve gang banged those 10…they stone them (for being raped!)
        And then move on to the indigenous teenagers!

        Simple maths.

          I SAY THAT OUT OF THE 40 MALES 2 MALES WILL 5 WIVES EACH. THAT WILL LEAVE 38 MALES, THEY WILL SHOW THEIR OTHER “TRUE COLOR” HOMOSEAXUALITY. THE 38 MALES WILL BECOME EACH OTHER BITCH.

    ‘Cousin marriage’ regarded as not acceptable among the indigenous in the UK due to the likely high risk of disabilities in offspring……..but common and acceptable among muslim immigrants resulting in an alarming increase in physical and mental disabilities among their offspring.
    .
    A huge drain on social services and a blind eye turned by the authorities.

      You are correct. I am one of them. My mom and dad are first cousins. I have all kind of disabilities and I am sure it is from that. To name a few I have not been to movies in 30 years not have I read a book in 30 years. m

        I am truly and genuinely sorry for what you’re going through because of islam. Unfortunately, we are unable to choose our parents, and each of us must endure the conditions we are born under.

        However, not all is lost! By your posts on JW I’ve read so far, you have proven to be far more intelligent than a large percent of physically healthy people. Your body is proof that islam is a scourge which spreads wherever it goes, and your mind is your greatest weapon against it (the scourge of islam).

        I remember Robert writing somewhere that in today’s time, battles are fought with a pen and keyboard, meaning information, because knowing your enemy and letting other people know about it is the most effective way of standing up to it. That’s why our greatest warriors against islam are people like Robert Spencer, Pamela Geller, Hugh Fitzgerald, Raymond Ibrahim, and many others.

        So please, don’t lose hope and stay strong!

    The following are extracts from”The Undoing:Islam by its own words, the exceptional free-book which is turning many heads in some very high places, get your free copy or read it online here;- http://abelandsolomon.simplesite.com/424568444

    A child bride
    Mohammed took further wives after the death of his beloved Khadijah, the one we know most about is Aisha, who in her own words, married; “when I was six and we consummated the marriage when I was nine. I still used to play with dolls…” Indeed, the marriage might have been consummated earlier had it not been for the poor girl falling sick and losing all of her hair straight after the marriage. This marriage became a model for child marriages which is enshrined in Sharia Law. The United Nations and medical charities report that in Muslim countries some children die from these child marriages because their bodies are not yet ready for sex or childbearing.

    A taste for killing
    Mohammed’s biographies recount; “Then they (the Jews) surrendered, and the apostle confined them in Medina…the apostle went out to the market of Medina and dug trenches in it. The he sent for them and struck off their heads in those trenches as they were brought out in batches…There were 600 or 700 in all, though some put the figure as high as 800 or 900.” “The Messenger of Allah commanded that all of the Jewish men and boys who had reached puberty should be beheaded. Then the Prophet divided the wealth, wives, and children of the Banu Qurayza Jews among the Muslims.”

    Sex-slaves
    The keeping of women as captives was not a moral issue in early Islam. Hadiths record a discussion involving Mohammed about trying to preserve the resale value of sex slaves by not getting them pregnant; “(Al-Khudri) sitting with Allah’s Apostle asked, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! We get female captives as our share of booty, and we are interested in their prices, what is your opinion about coitus interruptus?’ Mohammed traded sex-slaves; “the Apostle traded for Safiyah by giving Dihyah her two cousins (and five others). The women of Khaybar were distributed among the Muslims.”

    Poison!
    At Khaybar, a captive named Zaynab, who, in revenge for what Mohammed had done to her people, plotted to prepare him a meal which she would poison, saying to herself, “if he was a true prophet he would not be tricked, but if he merely was a king he would eat and die”. “When the messenger of Allah rested from his labour, Zaynab bt. al-Harith, the wife of Sallam b. Mishkam (whom Muhammad had killed), served him a roast sheep. She had asked what part of the sheep the messenger of Allah liked best and was told that it was the foreleg. So she loaded that part with poison…” He took the poisoned meat and it was a long, slow and painful demise lasting over three years.

    west is devil , first colonized more than 52 nations , while killing their languages , culture and every thing
    white devils still are occupying Canada , America , South Africa and Australia etc…

    then after ww2 they always interfere in other countries internal matters
    they fueled Libya , Syria etc civil wars
    now Muslims are being killed and families be destroyed due to west interference and fueling civil wars for selfish causes

    now 1000s of orphan refugees children are missing in west which go there because west pigs use to call themselves civilized
    see online reports of international children organizations about these poor unaccompanied refugees children and what is happening to them ????

      Some of those “children” have been found to be in their 20″s and they are raping their way across the host countries.

      In the west we do not mutilate our women and relegate them to menial lives as house maids and brood mares.

      Islam swept across the middle east colonizing and killing every living being that did not submit and eradicating their languages and cultures. Islam demands that you eat animals who die in agony and fear. You abuse dogs. I really hate islam as much for the unmitigated horrific abuse it heaps on innocent animals as anything else. Blow it out your ear “Abbas”

      More from the foul abbas:

      Notice abbas has *no* criticism for child rape. And why would he? This is entirely Islamic.

      ……………………………

      Grimly laughable. This is a reference to the “unaccompanied minors” who are flooding into Europe. Studies in Sweden, Denmark, and Norway have found that the *majority* of these “minors” are of age; some as old as *30*:

      “Just how old do you think these migrant ‘children’ are? Alarming pictures of refugees – including ‘the fastest 14-year-old in Sweden’ – that shed light on a growing scandal amid Europe’s asylum crisis”

      http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3422000/Just-old-think-migrant-children-Alarming-pictures-shed-light-growing-scandal-amid-asylum-crisis.html

      Many of these “minors” just melt into the Muslim population. These are not refugee children as abbas implies–they are adult Muslim invaders.

      Europe is foolishly charitable enough to allow these “minors” into the free West, but abbas still considers them “devil”. And why not? He despises the “filthy Infidels”.

      Abbas solution for “white devils” occupying Australia is to replace them all with muslims.
      That will really fix the injustices suffered by indigenous Australians at the hands of the racist whiteys.
      Let Sharia replace Aussie law. Let the muslims have sex (Sharia legal) with underage indigenous children.

      Great idea abbas! You’re a genius! (sarc)

      Muslim imperialism was far worse and still is. All of North Africa. Almost all of the Middle East. All of the former Hindu Kush. Much of Central Asia.

      For 500 years Muslims attacked Europe before the Crusades.

    The world’s eyes are upon Germany. Will Germans bow down to fear, and allow child marriages to exist within their borders or not? It’s really not that complicated. Rape, or no rape? Of course, we know what Merkel thinks about this, but what about the sane Germans? If the “wife” is under legal age, she is being currently raped, and a judge in Germany is ok with that.

    Over 1000 known child marriages in Germany
    ………………………….

    I’m sure there are many, many more that are *not* known to German authorities.

    More:

    Now, at least 1000 child marriages are documented in Germany; and a German judge ruled in June that the marriage of a 14-year-old Syrian girl to her 20-year-old cousin was valid.
    ………………………….

    Well, this *validation* of child rape by a German court is terrifying, and has grim implications for more pedophilia in Germany going forward. This judge should *be removed*.

    And this is not just happening in Germany, but all over Europe:

    Child marriages is nothing which came now, with the new refugees 2014-2016. Ita has been going on in tne Muslim “No-go-for-Westereners-zones” in France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden for many years. The authoriries have stopped to even try to help this thousands of young teenage girls because the Muslim comminutues have got more and more power. It’s another kind of terror than Isis which prevent social workers and police to enter the Muslim controlled areas in cities like Marseille, Berlin, Brussels, Copenhagen, Malmö, Stockholm… It’s the fear for getting killed or seriously damaged.

    What’s more is the endless increasing number of “suicides” and “deaths” among the poor girls who are trapped in these ghettos together with parents, brothers and uncles that Islam made crazy. The most common cause of death among these Muslim young teenage girls is “falling from balcony”. Nobody help these girls, who succeed to commit suicide by hanging themselves when the apartments are full of male relatives “watching TV and didn’t notice that the girl hanged herself”.

    No one is ever punished for these crimes.

    Creeping Sharia. Now even a German judge accepts that Muslims sleep with underage girls.
    Note please: it is allowed if you are Muslim.
    Next will be the acceptance of Female Genital Mutilation according to Sharia.
    Next will be the acceptance of polygamy with underage girls according to Sharia.
    Next will be the acceptance of beating of wives according to Sharia.
    Next will be more and more Muslims in politics.
    Next will be Muslim judges!!!???
    Western society is going downhill.

      IF LIES ARE A MIRROR TO THE TRUTH then Islam is a true cult or religion if you wish.

      Hiding behind “you do not have “true knowledge of Islam” is a canard oft repeated. Pray tell me what is “true knowledge of Islam”. I have read the Koran and it comes off as a book a school going child would have written while playing Pokemon Go.
      Oh yes! I forgot that the “infallible perfect and glorious Koran” only be understood in Arabic. Is this why most of you idiots who do not read, write or speak Arabic commit mayhem and murder because you did not read about the “the religion of peace” in Arabic but in vile transalations of the Koran by “greedy Jews who funded / supported” the same

    As bad as it is, meaning ALL, repeat ALL muslim men are pedo’s, the worst travesty in this entire incident is that worthless german judge fucc pos! Anyone, anywhere can and will continue to break the law and test and break the laws of morality and here you have a judge, pos worthless cunt judge who had the chance to right a definite wrong, set the correct precedent and instead, handed his balls over to the slime muslims with his decision. This muslim shit, all of it will not get any better until someone, somewhere, decides to enforce our laws and start chopping hands, dicks and heads off those muslim pigs.

    The justification for the court ruling on this marriage is that the marriage is valid under Syrian law and therefore has to be recognized in Germany.

    What complete rubbish! Since when does Syrian law trump German law in Germany? This is a very dangerous ruling that needs to be appealed immediately.

    Given this court ruling, the German government also needs to pass laws specifically stating that German marriage laws take precedence over foreign laws.
