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

Canada: Imam says 50-year-old man marrying 9-year-old girl is “legitimate” in Islam

Oct 31, 2016 2:23 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams

Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, a Canadian Muslim scholar and Imam and the Chancellor of the Islamic Online University , sees no wrong in the marriage between Mohammad and Aisha. In a lecture few years ago, Bilal Philips explained that Islam defines puberty, meaning menstruation and capability of bearing a child, as the dividing line between childhood and maturity.

According to two hadiths in Bukhari about 54-year-old Muhammad and 9-year-old Aisha:

“It is reported from Aisha that she said: The Prophet entered into marriage with me when I was a girl of six … and at the time [of joining his household] I was a girl of nine years of age.”

“Khadija died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed [alone] for two years or so. He married Aisha when she was a girl of six years of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.”

Debates and heated arguments are ongoing about what age Aisha was when Muhammad actually consummated his marriage with her, but it is plain from these hadith, the earliest and most reliable available sources, that it is mainstream belief in Islam to hold that Muhammad did marry Aisha when she was six and consummated the marriage when she was nine. Many Muslims invoke Muhammad’s example to justify raping children as a religious right, but Westerners are terrified to discuss these facts and their implications. To try to justify this or explain it away does no good to the female victims of incalculable human rights abuses that are justified under an Islamic banner.

The likes of Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips are given open forums with reprieves from feminists and so-called human rights advocates in the West. The fear of confronting this openly is revolting, and all the while those who do point out the truth are branded “Islamophobes.” Even worse, leaders who have the responsibility to protect innocents are aiding the perpetrators in the name of political correctness:

Police investigate alleged hate crime after flyers depicting Mohammad deflowering 9-year-old Aisha were sent in October 2016 to mailboxes in Edmonton, Alberta.

“Canadian Imam: 50 year old man marrying 9 year old girl is “legitimate” in Islam”, by Jonathan Halevi, CiJ News, October 30, 2016:

Police investigate alleged hate crime after flyers depicting Mohammad deflowering 9-year-old Aisha were sent in October 2016 to mailboxes in Edmonton, Alberta.

CIJnews was told that the Crown Prosecutor believes that the this flyer meets the criteria of a hate crime, among other things because of its pornographic content.

Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips, a Canadian Muslim scholar and Imam and the Chancellor of the Islamic Online University , sees no wrong in the marriage between Mohammad and Aisha. In a lecture few years ago, Bilal Philips explained that Islam defines puberty, meaning menstruation and capability of bearing a child, as the dividing line between childhood and maturity. He claimed that 1400 years ago 9-year-old girls were more mature than children today and life was much shorter. However, he maintained that marrying a matured 9-year-old girl remains legitimate. “If a Muslim man in his 50s, even today, wanted to marry a young woman who was 9 or 10, she reached puberty, it is legitimate,” he said.

The following is a transcript of Bilal Philip’s lecture:

“So what is the way in which we should understand this? First and foremost, it is important for us to understand it within, you know, the context of the time, that in these times people have set laws in terms of what ages people can marry at, and what ages they can’t.

“They have set a certain set of laws where if one has relations with a woman who is, or a young lady, who is below a certain age then they will consider that to be paedophilia, and if she is a above that age that is considered to be, and it is consensual, consensual sex, was OK.

“The point is that when you go and look at the numbers across Europe, you’ll find that it varies from country to country, varying all the way from 12 to 18 to just depends on which country you go to, from France to Germany to Netherlands to Italy to Spain. You know you’re going around those different countries you’ll find the numbers varying from 12 to 18. So what may be considered acceptable relations in one country is considered to be paedophilia in another country. So they have numbers and they have set to define where consensual sex is acceptable or not.

“For us and Islam we have a natural principle, a natural dividing line, which is for a woman to be considered an adult or that she may be married and have sexual relations etc. that dividing line is puberty. That is a natural dividing line. Puberty is the body saying that that young lady is now capable of bearing a child. That’s what puberty is about for females, menstruation.

“So whether one, in this society, considers that person still to be a child or not, that’s not the issue. The issue is that biologically, she is now an adult capable of bearing a child.

“That is the bottom line and it’s a natural division, and that will take into account variations which exist amongst people, amongst tribes, areas of the world etc., because you’ll find that number varied.

“In Arabia, 9 was a common age for puberty, other countries it varied. So that was the point. This was the dividing line.

“When we’re talking about paedophilia, what is paedophilia anyway? Is paedophilia really adults going and marrying children? No.

“The paedophiles who are coming out of Britain and Germany, this is the most largest body of paedophiles, and the US, you know, going into Southeast Asia, to Thailand, to Sri Lanka, the Philippines, these countries where people are in poverty, right? and where you know young children have sold themselves, so sell their bodies to earn money, and where parents will be willing to sell their children for money.

“These people who go there, they’re going to marry these kids? No, They’re going there to abuse them, just to take pleasures and then leave. So it’s not about marriage at all.

“So when we look in terms of the Prophet’s [Mohammad], peace be upon him [PBUH], situation, this was marriage.

“So one, we have a natural dividing line – puberty. Two – we have the issue of whether it was marriage or whether it was sexual abuse.

“And when we consider really 1400 years ago what were the ages in which people are considered to be marriageable or not, I’m sure, I’m not, I haven’t studied British history or not, but I’m sure if you go back in British history 1400 years ago, and look at that marriage customs of that time, it’s not going to be any different. So he would end up having to go back and label the British kings as paedophiles and all other kind of things too.

“The point is that in the world at that time, they didn’t have, they had not set these old ages that we now find 18 and 16 and 18, this type of thing, as they have here today. People matured faster and life was shorter. You know if you made it to 50 you know you’re an old, really an old person, you know, this you’ve lived your life out.

“People died 35 as an old person, 35, 40, you died then you died ad an old person. So life was, people developed much faster. As soon as the child reached a certain age they were taught the basic things that a person should know how to run a family, take care of a home, cook and all the different things that were needed, children learned that. What we call children today learned that.

“So where today you can find a woman in her 20s studying in University, she still does not how to cook, she can’t iron, you know, she’s basically a baby, so going to university, I mean, there is something in those days that is inconceivable.

“So the attitude of society towards responsibility and all this kind of thing have changed. Consider Usama ibn Zayd, whom the Prophet PBUH made the head, military commander for the Muslim armies, 17 years old. Imagine putting you know 17 year old the head of the Pentagon, you know, he’s got his finger, he can press any button and send missiles all over the world. Hey, we would be in World War 3 in a minute, right?

“So we know that, there was a whole different level of maturity, people matured at a whole different pace. So we always have to look at these things within the context.

“And then we look at the consequences. People who have suffered from paedophilia in childhood. What about those people when they reach adulthood? These people have problems. They’ve got psychological problems. They’re going to psychiatrists and you know, they’ve got all kinds of.

Who was Aisha [9-year-old girl who was married to Mohammad, the founder and prophet of Islam]? Aisha was one of the leading scholars of the Ummah [Islamic nation], the fourth most prolific narrator of hadith [narrations attributed to Mohammad and his way of life and rulings], you know. Scholar of Sharia [Islamic Law], honored by the Ummah [Islamic nation].

“She was the person with you know psychological problems and all these kind of things and her life was shattered? No.

“So obviously, that whole marriage situation was a legitimate marriage. It had nothing to do with paedophilia in any way shape or form. It was a legitimate marriage which produced you know positive and good results. And it was a marriage of that time.

“But it remains legitimate, that if a Muslim man in his 50s, even today, wanted to marry a young woman who was 9 or 10, she reached puberty, it is legitimate.

“The fact that the world is not doing it, and most places people are not doing it, it doesn’t mean that it no longer is permissible. No. It remains.

“And in some societies, I know for example in India, though you know the whole issue of what they call child marriages, they tried to ban it. It is officially illegal, but they have shown that well over 50 percent of marriages taking place in India today, in spite of the banning and everything else, the girls are marrying under age what they consider to be underage, it is like 16.”

In one of his lectures (Published on YouTube on June 11, 2015), Bilal Philips addressed the “consequences of delaying in Marriage.” He argued the delaying the marriage bring about moral corruption, such as pornography, masturbation, lesbianism and homosexuality. The following is the transcript of Bilal Philips’ lecture:

“Here in our lives where this attitude of time, spare time, we have time, you don’t need to do this now, is the area of marriage. Young people when they reach the age of marriage. Parents are saying to them. Don’t get married, no. Wait, finish your studies and. Wait until you’ve got a job and you earned enough and you can build this thing and that, yeah, that’s the time. So that doesn’t happen until you are in your thirties. Right? That may be ok for the man. But for the woman it becomes a problem.

“It becomes a problem. Delaying Marriage. And the Prophet [Mohammad] peace be upon him told us: يا معشر الشباب من استطاع منكم الباءة فليتزوج O young people who ever among you are able should get married.

“He said get married young. Get married young and we delay. So what happens? Those years, which are the most critical years, the years in which hormones are flowing, desires are strong. We tell them don’t get married.

“So what happens? People just turn it off and say ok. Turn off the desires, I’ll carry on. No. They end up in corruption. Either they’re watching, you know, pornographic stuff, which they shouldn’t be watching the channels etc. Now that these things are all available in this society or they engage, get caught up in masturbation or something like this, whatever they’re going end up doing things that they don’t need to be doing things, which are harmful to them. harmful to the society.

“That’s the consequence. Once we delay it brings in corruption. Worse than that, you end up with lesbianism, homosexuality gets born out of those circumstances.

“So the harm is great. We should marry young. We should marry our children young. And just so that you don’t think he’s saying that. It’s easy for him to say that. You know, my son was 16 years old, I got him married at 16. His wife was 18.

“They now have 6 kids, live in Dubai. Having a happy life. A good life God Willing (انشالله). My other son who just turned 17, he’s going to get married in August, God Willing, his wife is 15. So it can be done.

“You know who am I, you know, I‘m a convert Muslim. When I was studying in [the City of] Madeenah, I met one brother. Saudi in Madeenah. He had gotten married when he was 3 years old. I was shocked, 3 years old. Yeah, he got married [when] his wife was 2 and he was 3. Yeah. Not a problem. Praise be to Allah [الحَمْد لله] they are happily married, have bunch of kids and, you know, sure.

“When the Prophet [Mohammad] peace be upon him said, marry young and have a lot of kids, you see, he has all the opportunity. I mean you’ll be able to to to play with your great grandchildren, you know, you would not be so old you can’t even, you know, you’re lying on the bed all you can do is look at them and you can actually go and play with them, your great grandchildren.

“So, Praise be to Allah, I’m not going to say that you have to go and do that with your kids now, but I‘m just saying that you know, it works. There’s no harm in it in fact it prevents corruption and prevents corruption.”

In his book “Contemporary Issues” from 2002, which was accessible for downloading in the online library of the website Muslims of Calgary, Bilal Philips among other things justified the rationale of early marriage in Islam.

The following are excerpts from Bilal Philips’ book:

“CHILD MARRIAGES

“The Prophet (PBUH) has been accused of being a pedophile due his marriage to Aa’ishah at the age of 9…

“3. Islam sets the age of marriage at puberty, as it is the natural dividing line between childhood and adulthood. Menstruation indicates that a young girl has reached childbearing age. This age may vary from country to country, but it is discernible and not arbitrary…

“5. Islam stipulates that a girl or boy married before puberty will not live with their spouse until they have attained puberty. Furthermore, they have the right to cancel or proceed with the marriage when they reach puberty.

“6. Aa’ishah was seven when she was married off to the Prophet (PBUH) and she came to live with him when she reached puberty at nine…”

Canadian Imam: Muslim girls are eligible for marriage at the age of 8 years and 9 months

Sayyid Muhammad Rizvi, the Imam of the Islamic Shia Ithna Asheri Jamaat of Toronto and the Jaffari Islmic Centre in Thornhill Woods, discusses in his book “Marriage and Morals in Islam” the Islamic law and rulings regarding to the age of puberty and early marriage.

The followings are excerpts from chapter three “The Islamic Sexual Morality (2) Its Structure”:

“Sexual desire is aroused in human beings at the age of puberty. In Islamic legal definition puberty (bulugh) is determined by one of the following: 1. age: fifteen lunar years for boys and nine lunar years for girls…”

“Since the sexual urge begins at puberty and as Islam says that sexual urge should be fulfilled only through marriage, it has allowed marriage as soon as the boy and the girl reach the age of puberty. In the case of girls, it not only allows them to be married as soon as they become mature, but also recommends such marriage. It is based on such teachings that Islam discourages girls from postponing their marriage because of education; instead, it says that girls should get married and then continue their education if they wish to do so.”

“Physical maturity by itself, however, is not enough for a person to handle the marriage responsibilities; rushd (maturity of mind) is equally important…”

“If a person does not marry soon after maturing and finds it difficult to control his or her sexual desire, then the only way to fulfill the sexual desire is mut’a.”

“In Islamic laws, according to the Shi’ah fiqh, marriage is of two types: da’im, permanent and munqati’, temporary. The munqati’ marriage is also known as mut’a…”

“I cannot overemphasize the temporary nature of mut’a. The message of Islam is quite clear: marry on a permanent basis; if that is not possible, then adopt temporary abstinence; if that is not possible, only then use the mut’a marriage.”

Nine years in lunar year, the minimum age according Islam for girl to marry, is in fact 8 years and nine months in solar year, as the lunar year is shorter by 11-12 days of the solar year.

These Islamic rulings regarding the age of puberty are being taught in Islamic schools in North America. For instance, the textbook for 7 Grade students of the Islamic Shia Study Centre West Madrasah (ISSC) in Brampton, Ontario explains the definition of puberty in Islam, and consequently the duties (wajib) applicable to all mature males and females.

The following is an excerpt from “Lesson 6 Gender-Specific (for Girls)” appears on page 100 of the aforementioned textbook which also appeared on the site of :

“Signs of Bulugh

As boys and girls grow into men and women, they change physically and emotionally. This age of maturity is also called the age of puberty (or bulugh in Arabic). Boys mature (become bāligh) closer to the ages of 13-15 years. Girls mature earlier and in Islām are considered to be bāligha from the age of 9 (i.e. on her 9th Islāmic birthday).

    Well it seems someone should tell Anthony Weiner that what he’s doing with his sexting to a 15 year old minor is okie dokie. Oh, that’s right you have to be a fuggin’ muzzie to get away with it. Weiner is looking at 15 years! He should also be castrated in my books! Why is it that the muzzies can do it as a cultural “thing”, but when we bring attention to such a vile practise it’s hate crime? Children are our last piece of innocence and these vile, perverted, mentally handicapped pieces of shit want to take that away from the children as well. Islam is a cult! No real religion would allow that to happen to children.

    Hi All,

    in a way off topic, but for those who believe that our ‘leaders’ ought to learn about Islam, that they are not fully informed, believe me, they know!

    Link:
    http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/65628/Secret-plot-to-let-50million-African-workers-into-EU

    That’s from Saturday Oct 11, 2008 !!!

    You think that’s it?

    Today is a memorial day (For some Christians in Germany) for Parson Roland Weißelberg. He was always opposing and resisting the East German government. Later he became alarmed about the Islamization of Europe.

    Since nobody really listened, in a public protest
    ====================================.
    he burned himself to death, today in AD 2006!
    ===================================.

    Good man, have a look at him: http://pi-news.net/wp/uploads/2016/10/weisselberg-265×440.jpg

    As I said, in 2006. Our “leaders” knew and know fully well! This is planned for a long time. In Germany, initially among Pegida and AfD members, the term “Volks Verräter” has come to the fore, and is used more and more by others too.

    “Volks Verräter” means “Traitors to the People” where people implies culture, civilization and nationhood. The term “Volk” (the English “Folk” stems from it) has a very wide meaning in German.

    American readers: I hope to God that Trump wins. But, how much and what can he change? The raisinhead will have made far reaching changes or appointments within the power structures in your country, or your country’s institutions as it may. Trump has his work cut out. Of course, if you are stupid and vote Hillary… She’s still riding high, as does the traitor Merkel in Germany. Though, the latter is gradually losing. But the Germans voted for her several times, and you voted twice for the rasinhead – God help us.

    PS: Mohammed referred to black Africans as raisinheads and laughed about their appearance, so I am not insulting President Hussain, but honor his beloved prophet

      How do Muslims manage such a trick?
      Simple
      Muslims make a grand display of piety and false humility when they pray five times a day with a WUDU wash attempt to wash Islam’s stink away. Yes world, 5 times. Those who have little to hide do not need to FLAUNT the — (Innocence of Muslims).
      Dirty, Dirty, Dirty, Dirty, indeed.

      If Muhammad were not such a gross carnal-lust pig, Muslims would not have to pay endlessly with their Islamic prayer and piety parade dance for Muhammad’s dirty sins to this very day.

      Yet, Muslims have the audacity to mock Christians for the belief that Jesus died on the cross.

    Canada: Imam says 50-year-old man marrying 9-year-old girl is “legitimate” in Islam
    ……………………….

    Well, Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips’s not wrong. This child rape is mainstream Islam, on the model of the foul “Prophet”. Hundreds of thousands of little girls suffer child “marriage” in Dar-al-Islam every year. This is a conservative figure. In some places, the *majority* of girls are married off while still children.

    Here is one such case, with fatal results for the little victim:

    “Afghanistan: 8-year-old bride of mullah bleeds to death on her wedding night”

    ……………………….

    How is *exposing* a vicious crime itself a “hate crime”? Suicidal madness.

    It is raping a nine-year-old child that is hate, not exposing it.

    Here’s my picture of the deflowering of poor little Aisha:

    Well he makes a good argument. Only one big flaw… an eight or nine year old girl cannot give consent under our Western laws. Then a child cannot sign a marriage contract, nor can she go live with somebody under the guise of being his wife. Any attempt at consummating a marriage with such is pedophilia and rape under our statutes. So really, all his arguments are a meaningless rationalization to justify a barbaric religion.

    • gravenimage says

      Oct 31, 2016 at 7:49 pm

      Muslim females–even adults–do not sign the marriage contract. Her “Mehram”–usually her father–signs permission for the husband-to-be to have use of the female’s vagina. Seriously–that’s what “marriage” is in Islam. *Ugh*.

      That such behavior was acceptable 1400 years ago (and probably not just in THAT part of the world) does not make such practice acceptable or legal–in the West–today.

      But let’s not fool ourselves: you can take the followers of backwards ideologies from THOSE places, but you cannot take such ideologies from those brainwashed by them.

      Western LAWS, however, prohibit that.

    “Under our Western laws”. That is why they are so eager to replace them with Sharia.

    So they can marry 9 year old girls, have multiple wives, mutilate their genitals, dress them like bank robbers and murder their daughters if they consider they have offended Allah.

    Feminists? Is this all OK with you cause I’m not hearing anything.

      “Feminist” doesn’t mean anything anymore.
      Back in June, I spent hours each day sending these JW articles to as many politicians and women’s groups as I could find online. Only one women’s group even responded, saying something like how they didn’t have funds or people to address all concerns.
      That is, of course, if I didn’t get censored/blocked by Google.
      In any case, politically it seems “feminists” only advocate for abortion.
      I think our best female advocates may be religious women of various backgrounds. We’re still facing the same problem that so many don’t know. Remember the HuffPo article that was highlighted here a few days ago? There’s so much misinformation.

      Because his prophet was a child raping cockroach, and he is protected by the liberal’s evil code that all cultures are equal. So the liberals will to anything absolutely anything, to ignore it, bury it, and if that fails……….shut you up even if they have to put you in jail.

    Actually, re claim that girls ‘matured’ ‘earlier’ in the 5th-7th century is very likely to be false.

    All the latest modern medical research suggests strongly that age at first menses was *later* – sixteen or seventeen – rather than earlier, among pre-modern populations. That’s because a girl has to have a certain body mass and a certain percentage of body fat; and in most pre-modern human populations and indeed among many ordinary people in western countries even in the 19th century, girls just didn’t *reach* that ‘triggering point’ of body mass – height and weight – and body fat, until their late teens.

    In any case: a girl doesn’t finish laying down her adult skeleton and bone mass until she is *eighteen*. Pregnancy before that age – unless she is *very* well-nourished – therefore involves competiton between the baby and the mother for available calcium and other critical nutrients. I understand that the available statistics show in general that pregnancies that happen before age 16 are more dangerous for both mother and baby than those that occur after that age. So very early marriage and childbearing are correlated with higher infant and maternal mortality. Child marriage is a *really* stupid and destructive idea, from a medical POV. Even in crazed-by-Islam Yemen people have not been able to avoid seeing this ugly reality – they call the very youngest “brides”, the girls who are subjected to ‘marital’ rape at age 8 or 9 or 10, “the brides fo death”. Yet even though they see that the practice is destructive, even though they have a proverb summing up the all-too-common lethal result, they continue to practise the forced ‘marriage’ of terrified girl-children.

    In Miriam Ali’s book “Without Mercy” – recounting her attempts to rescue her own underaged daughters who had been carted off to Yemen by their Yemeni Muslim father, and promptly sold off as slave-‘wives’ to much older male relatives – she encountered child-brides, girls married off between age 8 or 9 and age 13.
    Here, from a review of that book that a poster here at Jihadwatch offered to us, years ago, is an account of what happened to one such girl:

    “Zana had met so many girls taken from the Midlands (England), taken by force who were now in Yemen.

    “One was a petite blonde from Derby.

    “She was 9 years old when she was taken and had already three miscarriages when she became pregnant a forth time. This time the child had been stillborn. The death of this little baby had taken the child-mother’s sanity. She was 12 years old.”

    Mohammedans of course refuse to accept scientific fact, preferring their bizarre and antihuman fantasies that just happen to sacralise the lusts – indeed, the blatant sexual sadism – of a great many Dirty Old Men.

      *Very* true, DDA. Besides, reading Islamic literature it is clear that little Aisha was *not* mature–it emphasizes her playing with dolls and on swings with her little friends.

      According to studies of the the Hadith, Aisha’s menarch was likely in March of 620 AD, when she was fifteen. At that point, Muhammed had already been raping the poor girl for six years.

    Regarding the photo, I like what Jesus says in Mt 6:5-6:
    “When you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, who love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on street corners so that others may see them. Amen, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you pray, go to your inner room, close the door, and pray to your Father in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will repay you.”

    Muslim leaders can easily tell who is not praying, so they know who does not conform. Jihad Watch has reported dire consequences for some who do not submit to bowing for prayer in public.

  20. davej says

    Oct 31, 2016 at 9:36 pm

    Agreed, praying en masse in public, asses in the air, wailing and bowing while blocking the public streets, is a deliberate affront to non-believers and an insult to our culture.This is not private individual devotion, it is organized demonstrative programming.

    It is done to both intimidate the infidels and discipline the believers into rote obedience.

    Islam manages to out-Orwell Orwell. Peace is war (or actually submission), slavery is freedom and strength is ignorance. The usual upside down, opposite and backwards world of Allah, may his evil be revealed.

Furthermore, with the many other grandmothers I have, going back 150 years, i read many writings and diaries of theirs. Only to end up heavy hearted and in tears, knowing that these girls were robbed of their innocence. Often I wondered if they prayed for a better life for their descendants. .. the me’s, us’s and we’s. Soooo, here we all are again, we somehow amazingly allowed another cultish group to enter in, justifying a sexual perversion behing the cloak of a religion..oh and yes! By all means, for their Almighty ……it amazes me how so many speak for something they’ve never seen. It amazes me how they get their revelations. ….it is simply amazing the blind faith they have put in people..for, if it were from an Almighty, then why the inhumane?…this is Inhumane!..I would never fight to the death for an inhumane almighty god…..never ….God is good..this is not good…this is evil…

    moslims do not want to believe the truth about anything. Trying to convince any of them like this fool that what he is advocating is wrong, foolish, stupid, unscientific, ridiculous, etc. is like trying to argue with a speck of lint.

    They pretend and insist that they *know* things, when in fact they are ignorant, demonically controlled evil creatures who have given their souls to satan and his beast.

    It has been proven, over long years of fact-finding, that a child is not mature until around the age of 25 when their brain is finally one of an adult. Just because a child is capable of getting pregnant if raped…and it is not marriage, it is rape…does not mean she is ready to have a baby, or that her body is ready to have a baby. The insides still must grow, develop and mature. Her brain must develop and mature, her emotions, her reasoning, her understanding…all must mature before she is ready to be married and have children. She will never, ever, be ready to be raped by a dirty, filthy worshipper of evil.
    Children should be allowed to be children and grow up as God meant them to.

    But, these idiots for satan, loving (if it can be called love) and lusting for the evil they do, will not be deterred or convinced that they are wrong. One may as well argue with a piece of lint as try to convince them that it is wrong, immoral and criminal to rape a child.

    The Almighty Creator will Judge them for what they do, and why they do it. Evil will be punished and eliminated.

    Immigration officials and police in every Western country should ask Muslims:

    – Do you believe in Qur’an Chapter 33 Verse 21 that Muhammed is an example for Muslims to follow, even though Bukhari hadiths note that he married Aisha when she was six and consumated the marriage when she was nine and thus was a pedophile?

    If they say yes, don’t let them into you country.
    If they are already in your country, deport them.
    If they are citizens, first strip them of citizenship, then deport them.

    Don’t tolerate this for one second.

    It is only in recent times do we see the onset of puberty in young girls happening at around 11 years. That is a result of growth hormones in the food. In the 7th century puberty would have been later around 13 years. Western law is clear about the definition of a pedophile. Enough said.

  30. Jan Aage Jeppesen says

    “3. Islam sets the age of marriage at puberty, as it is the natural dividing line between childhood and adulthood. Menstruation indicates that a young girl has reached childbearing age. This age may vary from country to country, but it is discernible and not arbitrary…”

    (Excerpt from Bilal Philips’ book).

    Actually Islam does not set the age of marriage at puberty. As the Quran is the primary source of Islamic Law, and the Sunnah is only secondary, the answer about legal marriage age is therefore not to be found in the Hadiths but in the Quran:

    “The waiting period of those of your women who have lost all expectation of menstruation shall be three months in case you entertain any doubt; and the same shall apply to those who have not yet menstruated. (7) …” (Q 65,4).

    Note (7):

    “Those women may not have experienced menstruation either because they are too young, or because their menstrual cycle was delayed (as does happen in the case of some women), or because they never experienced menstruation at all (which happens rarely). In any event, the waiting period of such women is the same as for the women who are divorced after menopause; namely, three months from the time of the pronouncement of divorce.”

    (Source: “Towards Understanding the Quran” by Sayyid Abul A’la Maududi, The Islamic Foundation, 2006).

    As a man can divorce a prepubescent girl it follows logically that he can also marry one. Therefore, no minimum marriage age for girls are set in the Quran. It is up to the families to determine what marriage age is appropriate.

    However, in Christianity puberty defined the minimum marriage age for girls:

    “Betrothals [sponsalia] require seven full years in the contracting parties. The marriageable age is fourteen full years in males and twelve full years in females, under penalty of nullity (unless natural puberty supplies the want of years). Marriages void because of the absence of legal or natural puberty are held as sponsalia, inducing thereby impediment of “public decorum” (Cap. 14, tit. de despon. impub., X, 4, 2). Civil codes generally require a more advanced age than the canonical.”

    (Source: Catholic Encyclopedia, 1917).

    The canonical age of marriage was adopted from Roman law:

    “In Ancient Rome, it was very common for girls to marry and have children shortly after the onset of puberty. Roman law required brides to be at least 12 years old. In Roman law, first marriages to brides from 12 to 24 required the consent of the bride and her father; by the late antique period, Roman law permitted women over 25 to marry without parental consent. The Catholic canon law followed the Roman law. In the 12th century, the Catholic Church drastically changed legal standards for marital consent by allowing daughters over 12 and sons over 14 to marry without their parents’ approval, even if their marriage was made clandestinely. Parish studies have confirmed that late medieval women did sometimes marry without their parents’ approval.”

    (Source: Wikipedia article about “marriageable age”).

    The conclusion is that Bilal Philips is lying outright and tries to make Islam less barbaric than it actually is in regard to child marriage.

    The Imam says; “So we know that, there was a whole different level of maturity, people matured at a whole different pace. So we always have to look at these things within the context.”

    Well I turn his own words back on him and expect he and Islam look at things within the context that it is now 2016, to which, such practices are outdated, abhorrent acts of pedophilia and have no place in modern society. Also within the context, that modern medical insight actually promotes masturbation as a healthy, natural, normal thing to do. That Lesbianism and homosexuality is something one is born with and getting married at an early age is unlikely to ever change their sexuality….

    But science, logic and not least of all, common sense, are all elements bereft within Islamic teachings. The sooner we call out the failings and evil elements of Islam undeterred by being labeled “Islamophobe”, the sooner the world would be a better place to live.
