As long expected, Sweden is now capitulating to Sharia, piece by piece. Don’t think it will end with child marriage. There is plenty more Sharia to implement.
Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.
Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in January 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
“Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this” — Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria
“There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.” — Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, Iraqi expert on Islamic law
There is no minimum age for marriage and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” — Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, prominent cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council
“Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.” — Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology
These authorities say these things because hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage:
“The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88).
Another tradition has Aisha herself recount the scene:
The Prophet engaged me when I was a girl of six (years). We went to Medina and stayed at the home of Bani-al-Harith bin Khazraj. Then I got ill and my hair fell down. Later on my hair grew (again) and my mother, Um Ruman, came to me while I was playing in a swing with some of my girl friends. She called me, and I went to her, not knowing what she wanted to do to me. She caught me by the hand and made me stand at the door of the house. I was breathless then, and when my breathing became all right, she took some water and rubbed my face and head with it. Then she took me into the house. There in the house I saw some Ansari women who said, “Best wishes and Allah’s Blessing and a good luck.” Then she entrusted me to them and they prepared me (for the marriage). Unexpectedly Allah’s Apostle came to me in the forenoon and my mother handed me over to him, and at that time I was a girl of nine years of age. (Bukhari 5.58.234).
Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old.
Marrying young girls was not all that unusual for its time, but because in Islam Muhammad is the supreme example of conduct (cf. Qur’an 33:21), he is considered exemplary in this unto today. And so in April 2011, the Bangladesh Mufti Fazlul Haque Amini declared that those trying to pass a law banning child marriage in that country were putting Muhammad in a bad light: “Banning child marriage will cause challenging the marriage of the holy prophet of Islam, [putting] the moral character of the prophet into controversy and challenge.” He added a threat: “Islam permits child marriage and it will not be tolerated if any ruler will ever try to touch this issue in the name of giving more rights to women.” The Mufti said that 200,000 jihadists were ready to sacrifice their lives for any law restricting child marriage.
Likewise the influential website Islamonline.com in December 2010 justified child marriage by invoking not only Muhammad’s example, but the Qur’an as well:
The Noble Qur’an has also mentioned the waiting period [i.e. for a divorced wife to remarry] for the wife who has not yet menstruated, saying: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women, if you doubt, then their period is three months, and [also for] those who have not menstruated” [Qur’an 65:4]. Since this is not negated later, we can take from this verse that it is permissible to have sexual intercourse with a prepubescent girl. The Qur’an is not like the books of jurisprudence which mention what the implications of things are, even if they are prohibited. It is true that the prophet entered into a marriage contract with A’isha when she was six years old, however he did not have sex with her until she was nine years old, according to al-Bukhari.
Other countries make Muhammad’s example the basis of their laws regarding the legal marriageable age for girls. Article 1041 of the Civil Code of the Islamic Republic of Iran states that girls can be engaged before the age of nine, and married at nine: “Marriage before puberty (nine full lunar years for girls) is prohibited. Marriage contracted before reaching puberty with the permission of the guardian is valid provided that the interests of the ward are duly observed.”
According to Amir Taheri in The Spirit of Allah: Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution (pp. 90-91), Iran’s Ayatollah Khomeini himself married a ten-year-old girl when he was twenty-eight. Khomeini called marriage to a prepubescent girl “a divine blessing,” and advised the faithful to give their own daughters away accordingly: “Do your best to ensure that your daughters do not see their first blood in your house.” When he took power in Iran, he lowered the legal marriageable age of girls to nine, in accord with Muhammad’s example.
“The government says YES to child marriage for ‘extraordinary reasons,'” translated from “Regeringen säger JA till barnäktenskap vid ‘synnerliga skäl,'” Fria Tider, April 9, 2021:
LAW & LAW. The government says yes to approving child marriage if there are “special reasons.” This is stated in a bill that is expected to come into effect on 1 July this year. At the same time, the explicit 18-year-old requirement in the legal text is abolished.
On its website, the government has hidden the new bill behind a press release concerning a ban on the recognition of foreign polygamy.
– That men are allowed to marry several women is not compatible with the principle of equal treatment of spouses on which Swedish law is based and the requirements for equality, comments Minister of Justice and Migration Morgan Johansson, despite the fact that he is prepared to make certain exceptions.
How to deal with immigrants who have married children is an even more sensitive political issue.
Three years ago, the right-wing opposition demanded a total ban on all forms of marriage entered into in which one party is under age. The ruling left-wing coalition instead said that child marriage should in some cases be accepted by Swedish authorities.
– We have girls and boys in Sweden today, ie Swedish citizens, who are cohabiting with each other, who have sex with each other, who live together and who have children together, commented the Social Democratic Member of Parliament Hillevi Larsson during a parliamentary debate in which she tried to defend child marriage.
In a vote in March 2018, the Riksdag finally overrode the government and voted through a total ban. This was because the Moderates, the Sweden Democrats, the Christian Democrats, the Center Party and the Liberals agreed on a motion for such a ban.
Abolished 18-year requirement
Now the government has returned with a bill in which they want to make an exception to the total ban demanded by the Riksdag. The new proposed law abolishes the current explicit 18-year-old requirement for marriages entered into under foreign law. Furthermore, child marriage may be approved in Sweden if “there are special reasons.”
“For there to be special reasons, it is required that a denied recognition in the individual case has serious consequences, for example, for someone in the couple, or that it otherwise seems unreasonable not to recognize the marriage,” the government writes, leaving it to the judiciary to decide what should be considered “special reasons.”
According to a proposed legal text, the exemption applies if both parties are now over 18 years of age, but the marriage was not established in accordance with Swedish law. For example, in cases in which children get divorced or women are forced to marry someone against their will. The government wants the new law to come into effect on 1 July this year.
Several consultative bodies are critical of the government’s proposal to say yes to certain forms of child marriage. Among them “Girls’ Rights In Society” and “Neither Whore Nor Submissive.”
“A state governed by the rule of law such as Sweden must also be able to deal with the rights of these vulnerable women and children, even when there are extremely difficult circumstances in cases where they have entered into marriage abroad under conditions that are contrary to Swedish law,” writes Girls’ Rights In Society in its response.
“We believe that exceptions should not be made when it comes to child and forced marriage, ie not for special reasons,” writes Neither Whore Nor Submissive.

Wellington says
From the vantage point of this American, Sweden looks beyond pathetic. And to think Sweden during the Vietnam War regularly lectured America on how awful it was. But where was Sweden when the real killing began in SE Asia once the Americans left in 1975?
And what of huge amounts of iron ore provided to Germany under Hitler to keep Germany’s war capacity at optimal level? Ugh.
And how about Haakon VII, brave Norwegian King that he was, and who refused to capitulate to the Nazis taking over his nation in 1940? Haakon sought refuge in neutral Sweden and was denied this and for which, quite understandably, he never forgave the Swedes.
Sick of Sweden. It’s a disgrace. Yes, there are good Swedes, of course there are, but Sweden as a whole sucks.
James Lincoln says
Wellington,
Thanks for the history!
The only good things coming out of Sweden right now are Volvos and Swedish meatballs…

India? I thought Volvo moved their manufacturing to Germany years ago b’cos the Germans had lower taxes. Even while German cars moved their manufacturing to Alabama and South Carolina
Mauricio says
I still think that the tv mini series “Caliphate”, which is a Netflix-swedish production is marvellous. Check it out guys; something admirable and modern, coming out from Sweden. I wonder why the US (Hollywood) have not done such a good production involving directly or indirectly the negative aspects of islam. Partially based on a true story, and very entertaining.

Volvo is owned by the Chinese. The cars are still produced in Sweden as well as in other countries.

Rod says
Sweden during the Vietnam War regularly lectured America on how awful it was.
Didn’t everybody, Wellington? That’s how I remember it.
But where was Sweden when the real killing began in SE Asia once the Americans left in 1975?
And here we go back to the jihadwatch fantasy world. All those bombs, bullets, incendiaries, napalm, on South Vietnam, North Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos were all harmless blanks, just meant to frighten the bad guys. All those bodies I saw in newsreels were actors or dummies.
It wasn’t awful? Lots of Americans seemed to think so.
Giacomo Latta says
I can only presume from the absence of any comment on the subject of child marriage by our visiting halfwit means that Rod is 100% behind child marriage. And FGM I would assume. After all, you wouldn’t want your child bride to get the idea that sex might be for the female as well as the male. Sound like you, halfwit?
Wellington says
War is Hell, Rod, and the fact remains that the massive killing in SE Asia began only after America left in 1975, and demonstrating why America was there in the first place.
Never have I contended that when America was involved in Vietnam things were just wonderful. You set up a straw dog and then knocked it down. Very cheap of you. I have stated nothing which is not true but your familiarity with the truth is so often deficient one way or another, demonstrable to many here at JW.
Ecosse1314 says
Rancid Rod is just an out and out racist. He hides behind his anonymity and criticises Western countries but never has the balls to state where he is from. Never a criticism of Islam in any shape or form.
Rod says
Wellington, after reading your post last week (see below), I’ve approached my government, suggesting that they hand out guns to all our law abiding citizens, so as to further reduce our already low crime rates.
They were not impressed, and sent me the statistics below, readily accessible to all, suggesting that guns have NOT prevented the USA from having horrific crime rates compared with a random selection of other western societies. Maybe John Lott is pulling your leg? The “least amount of crime”? Seems the USA might have the most amount of crime, despite all their guns.
According to Wellington – “John Lott’s “More Guns, Less Crime.” This book’s thesis, which is backed up with massive amounts of detail, is that those communities which have the most amount of guns in the hands of law abiding citizens have the least amount of crime.”
Murder rates per 100,000 population (the most serious crime)
USA 5.3
Israel 1.4
Australia 0.8
Canada 1.8
Germany 1.0
Japan 0.2
Incarceration rates per 100,000 population (indicating rates of crime)
USA 665
Israel 234
Australia 169
Canada 107
germany 77
Japan 39
You can check Sweden, UK, Austria, Latvia, New Zealand, etc, if you like. I fear the result will be the same. So, keep your guns. They aren’t doing you much good, after all. Are they?

What claptrap–“Rod” has posted these numbers several times before–the claim that he just received this from his (always unnamed) government is utter tosh, “Rod” seems incapable of being honest, ever for something minor like this.
Does “Rod” have a problem with child marriage? Not that he has ever said–and I doubt very much that he will condemn pedophilia now, either.
Wellington says
On the specific matter, Rod, of Lott’s work, you did nothing to refute it. Lott’s work is extraordinarily detailed and covers all kinds of municipalities and counties. Municipalities and counties with the most guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens have less crime. But what did you do? You went to the American nation at large to make your ill-thought out point. Dumb. You entirely missed what John Lott was conveying.
As for you approaching your government, as you stated, what government is that, Rod? Your turn.
john smith says
No Rod, Jihadwatch is not a fantasy world, the stories that appear here are authentic and all can be verified. Unfortunately we Know that doesn’t suit your agenda, as you constantly attack JW and many of the good people that visit this site, for simple reason we all oppose evil.
The US, in particular some of the leaders, are by no means perfect, but it ls still the greatest nation this world has ever known. If the US wanted, they could have conquered or reduced the islamic world to a wasteland decades ago, but it has never been their intention. I can assure you had the boot been on the other foot it would of certainly been a different story.
As much as you deny this Rod, I know your a muslim, as only a muslim would try to blame all the evils in this world on anyone but themselves.
islam is truly evil, and allah is no other than satan himself “the greatest of all deceivers”.
Rod says
Was it fifteen years the USA had half a million heavily armed troops in Vietnam? Constantly engaging in firefights with the locals? Was it thousands of bombing raids with squadrons of B52s raining high explosives on North and South Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia? Doesn’t everybody know that the bomb tonnage dropped by the USA exceeded that of WW2?
But, by a miracle casualties were small? When the USA withdrew, not quite victorious, the killing began?
Are these things which have hitherto been closely guarded secrets? But what were all those troops doing for so long? Why didn’t all those bombs do the damage they’re built for?
I’m asking questions, Wellington, not setting up or knocking down any straw men or dogs. What you say begs my questions.
Rod says
john smith, I’ve challenged you to provide one example where I have defended atrocities, or reveal yourself to be lying to your friends and to me. Have you forgotten? I’m awaiting your response.
The best Giacomo can do is “presume” without grounds for doing so. Another, less blatant form of lying. Sophocles accuse me of racism, though no evidence is, or can be, or will be provided. Another lie. Welcome to jihadwatch.
Rod says
I don’t recall denying I’m a Muslim, john. I just pointed out that your allegation is ludicrous, and shows you to be not very rational. Others allege I’m a racist or a communist or a Democrat. Equally idiotic. What next?
gravenimage says
“Rod’s” pretending that the bloody fall of Saigon was either non-violent or is somehow a secret is just ludicrous.
Rod says
No Pinocchio, this is yet another of your lies. The fall of Saigon (the Vietnamese capital actually “fell” to the Vietnamese) wasn’t non-violent or secret. I watched it on film (not a very inspiring moment for the USA), and I’ve visited the sites where it happened. So I know.
What’s the point of all these lies? Is it just to demonstrate that jihadwatchers have little respect for truth? We all know that anyway.
Giacomo Latta says
Rod states that I presume without grounds for doing so. Rod is apparently defective in knowing about the legal process even in own country, as well as true debating. The subject is child marriage. Someone notes a lack of opposition by some halfwit against a stated opinion. If said halfwit is really upset he will make his opposition clear. But he does not. In a court of law the judge notices such a void in opposition no much how much verbiage said halfwit makes and knows his stand on the matter without any need to ask questions of said halfwit. That’s the way life and courts work, Bozo.
This is a very democratic website, halfwit, so do not be afraid of telling us all how you support child marriage and probably just your basic everyday muslim rape squad. Actually we know already how much you love the above but real leaders are never afraid of stating profoundly kept opinions. Only total chickens like you avoid matters.
Wellington says
Rod: Stanley Karnow in his work on Vietnam was surprised when he visited North Vietnam how little damage existed in most of the country. Yes, America dropped a huge amount of tonnage of bombs but over and over again in the same spots, like Haiphong Harbor.
America was in Vietnam for the same reason it was in Korea, i.e., to prevent a brutal Communist takeover. It worked in South Korea, it did not work in South Vietnam. These were two battles fought in a much large war, the Cold War, which the US won by 1991. Or are you OK with brutal Communist rule? Is this better than America trying to stop the spread of Communism during the Cold War?
Think Realpolitik, Rod, if you are able. My God, lots of German and Japanese women and children died during WWII because of American bombing. Was this our fault? Should America just have let Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan alone and not done the only thing that could be done to end WWII and that is take the war to the enemy’s own land?
War is Hell, Rod. What, you never want to engage in war? Do you realize that the consequences from such a pacifist policy would be to enable evil all the more? Not fighting evil, Rod, is evil. Damn cowardly too.
john smith says
Rod, every person on this site (with the exception of you devil worshiping muslims) opposes evil in any shape or form.
You are here for one reason only, and that is to attack the people that are in opposition to lslamic atrocities.
That is called, defending atrocities.
gravenimage says
“Rod’s” claiming that the abuse and murder of so many Vietnamese by the Communists after the fall of Saigon was not violent is just grotesque.
I suppose next he will be saying that there was nothing violent about the Cambodian Killing Fields…
And all of this from “Rod” is just intended to distract from Islamic child rape, in any case.
Will he condemn child “marriage”? Don’t hold your breath–just as he will not condemn Muslims enslaving victims today.
Rod says
I think the original Sophocles would have expressed his arguments succinctly. Rationally goes without saying. So perhaps “Sophocles” might be a woefully inapt pseudonym for our self proclaimed Hellenist.
Rod says
Wellington, I’ve visited Vietnam and seen the “brutal communist rule”. I spent weeks incredulous that the most powerful military force in the world could attack this primitive harmless little country of simple unaggressive friendly people. An eternal shame which the US can never hope to live down. To do so for over a decade, and then to retreat, tail between its legs. Incomprehensible.
I saw the bomb craters, many in South Vietnam (curious no?), I saw the photos, I saw the museums. I’ve read the history, which I gather was never reported or published for US consumption, at the time or since. I’ve seen the documentaries.
So the US tried to prevent “brutal communist rule”, in the process killing or causing the deaths of millions of people who meant the US no harm. Who the hell gives them the right to do that? They failed, and now, under “brutal communist rule” Vietnam is a thriving peaceful prosperous society, which statistics will show is doing a damn sight better as a safe functioning society than the mighty USA. Fast forward to Iraq, 2003. Another society, this time reduced to chaos and ruin by US interference, once again on a lie.
“Fighting evil’ God help us!
Wellington, you do not know what happened in Vietnam. You owe it to yourself to find out. And don’t pass your ignorant mythical untruths on to me.
Rod says
And all those bombs were dropped in the same place. Can’t believe I’m reading this. 7.5 million tons, the internet tells me; “the largest aerial bombardment in human history.”
Rod says
“The US, …….. ls still the greatest nation this world has ever known.”
john smith, how does your world championship in Covid deaths square with this? Over half a million dead, in the world’s most wealthy, advanced nation. An unbelievable record of continuing incompetence, with truly tragic consequences. While many of these deaths could have been avoided, American behaviour made them inevitable.
To my mind, this was institutionalised stupidity, on a massive scale.
Failure to see it for what it is, is equally idiotic.
Some Americans might share you view about the “greatness” of your nation. After four years of Trump and what followed, and your pandemic disaster, which continues still, most of us around the world think otherwise.
As for my record of defending atrocities, I need an example john. Not much to ask. I’ve been posting here for ages. What’s so difficult? Semantics doesn’t cut the mustard. Either I have defended an atrocity, just once, or I haven’t. Don’t keep me waiting.
Rod says
Over a week in 1943, some 10,000 tons of bombs were dropped on Hamburg, destroying most of the city, and killing some tens of thousands of civilians.
For over ten years, the US and its allies dropped over seven MILLION tons of bombs on Vietnam (including on its ally South Vietnam), Laos and Cambodia. The death toll? Massive, obviously.
Then there were the bullets, mortars, rockets, grenades, napalm. and the assassinations.
Deaths? Well, jihadwatchers tell me, it seems the “real” killing began after the Americans had completed their mission. So comforting to have these improbable facts to assuage our guilt.
Rod says
Hey john, I’ve just been hearing about yet more black deaths and racist violence and the constant fear some of your people must live with in your “greatest nation”. It’s horrible. Where does this “greatness” come from? And how do you justify your hatred and contempt for others?
Are you defending the atrocities occurring in your own society?
Giacomo Latta says
Thank you, Rod, for again proving to no end how much you love child marriage and for your (total lack of) defence of the quoted imams and their demented ways. In your case it is what you don’t say that best describes you.
Giacomo Latta says
You’re coming across as frantically desperate by the way, Rod.
Wellington says
Rod: You’ve approached your government? Again I ask you what government is that, Rod? You won’t say.
You’ve been to Vietnam? Frankly, I don’t believe you.
And should America have stayed out of South Korean too, Rod?
Your turn if you care.

Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic practice of an adult male Muslim having a marriage with a little girl who is only a child is clearly seen by most Westerners as a blatant action of child abuse of the vilest sort.
Nevertheless this heinous Islam tradition is accepted as “normal “in most of the Islamic world. Therefore, this may serve as an example of how the influence of Islam is able to warp the cogitation of the human mind to the extent that a person who is a Muslim might not be able to understand the obvious difference between right and wrong.
Such an awful thing as not having the discerning mental power to seethe clear difference is described in the Bible. For in Isaiah 5:20. “Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil…” [N.K.J.V.]
Walter Sieruk says
A jihadwatch.org article explains it well where it reads Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child marriage is accepted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. Child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law.”.
Male Muslim marriage of an adult man to a young girl who is really only a child of common in the world of Islam. One of the “reasons” for this female child abuse in Islam is because of the corrupt and perverse wickedness in the hearts of men. This is seen and described in the Bible with reads “The heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked; who can know it?” Jeremiah 17:9. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, another “reason” girl/child marriages occur with middle aged and even old men is because the founder and prophet of Islam Muhammad married a child. Muslims throughout history as well as in current times actually view Muhammad as a “perfect man” and a “great example for them to follow.”
This well might prove the old saying to be true .The saying is that “Evil is always looking for an excuse.”
It’s also wise to remember prophet Muhammad did likewise engaged in brutal, ruthless murderous warfare. As do Muslims today such as the jihadist Muslim of ISIS, al Qaeda, Hezbollah Hamas and so forth. Many that old saying, just sited above, also explains the excuse for Muslim terrorism in the world today.
Jesus Himself Taught “By their fruits you will know them.” Matthew 7:20. Which might explain the vile child “marriage” of Muhammad and his violent and deadly behavior .Likewise also explains the twenty- first century Muslims who in child marriages and blood and murderous violence of Islam .As they see the prophet Muhammad d as their example of who to follow.
With all this about the fruits of Islam along with fruits history reveals about the life of the prophet of Islam, Muhammad .It thus further appropriate to make known that it might be in keeping with teaching of Jesus that Muhammad could well have been an actual prophet . Nevertheless the very most important thing to understand is the Muhammad was not a prophet send by God . Instead Muhammad was a lying deceptive false prophet send by Satan to start a false religion to lead many people astray.
For Jesus taught “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves.” Matthew 7:15.
Honest Ali says
Islam is pure evil. But Sweden capitulating, and allowing pedophilia, illustrates exactly whey cowardice is the greatest of all evils.
somehistory says
Some how, some way, someone, should have the authority to force them to call it by its real name….daily, torturous rape of a child.
It is not ****marriage.***** They should not be allowed to call it that, to put a label on that makes it sound just hunkydorry. It’s beyond sickening,,,,it’s purly demonic, straight from satan.
The Bible says that God “doesn’t delight in the death of someone wicked,” so I must respect that. But, by crackey, it will be a great day when these foul-dealing, slug scum “meet their Maker,” and find out what is their Judgment for all of their evil deeds.

This is a pathetic cave-in by the Swedish authorities. In one way, it surprises me because, in general, I would say that most countries are probably getting tougher with paedophilia in recent years. But, of course, Islam brings all its filthy, outdated, barbaric garbage with it and there are definitely going to be examples of this type of pathetic surrender to the disgraceful way of life that islam condones. I’m not surprised to hear that Sweden is the country caving in like this. It does seem to be a bit of a basket case when it comes to dealing with Islam. Sweden seems to lack the willpower to stand up to the Muslim barbarians.

3. Delicious Swedish meatballs.
4. Fun cars like the Volvo P1800…

Marriage age in Sweden was 18 until just recently, which makes perfect sense.

Sweden is now going backwards to pandering to the muslims. Sad.
Goofy says
The Swedes are brain dead and they will do whatever they deem appropriate to attain appeasement. That makes them the scum of the earth as they believe in nothing and stand for nothing.
Logically the next step is introduction of “Love Jihad” in Sweden where young Swedish girls are abducted to be “converted” by force to Islam by proclaiming the Shahada at the penalty of death if they try to escape afterwards. After that they will be “married” by force to a middle age Muslim.
The Swedes will probably get used to that idea as well.
They should understand, however, that they eventually will be forced to proclaim the Shahada themselves or be killed or expelled from Sweden because they lack the willingness of being integrated in modern, Swedish society.

Goofy says,
“The Swedes…believe in nothing and stand for nothing.”
It all makes me think of a song that was made famous by the country artist Aaron Tippin called “You’ve Got To Stand For Something” (or you’ll fall for anything).

The left is simply following the rules in made a century with the Frankfurt school. Destroy the family and destroy the culture, destroy morals, destroy every aspect of the culture and civilization to make the society so weak that the communists can take over. They are doing that in America and all over Europe. Step by step with no end in sight. Our societies have enough faults to correct, they do not need to compound a bad situation by bringing in more trouble-makers. But they won’t stop.
Peter Burrows says
Verse 4:34, which is about disciplining a wife, sounds very much like advice for an adult dealing with a child. Combine with 65:4 which implies prepubescent marriage and 33:21, which deifies everything Mohammad did, including his ‘marriage’ to a six-year-old, and Allah has it covered. Can’t disagree with Allah now, can we?
OLD GUY says
Sweden has fallen to the Muslim/Islamic migration invasion of their country, through the open border policies that allowed the islamic enemy in.
Look out Europe and the West the Muslim/Islamic migration invasion is running at full force to take over the world with a dictatorship that will strike down anyone who stands in its way.
Michael Copeland says
“The goal of Islam is to rule the entire world and submit all of mankind to the faith of Islam. Any nation or power that gets in the way of that goal, Islam will fight and destroy.”

This is all part and parcel of the normalization of pedophilia in the west. “Marriage” to children combined with no fault divorce is de facto institutionalized child rape.

How is no-fault divorce child rape?
ROBERT CARRILLO says
These are crimes against civilization..

Just a bunch of dirty old 7th centruy males ! That’s all, & now they excuse them all for anything they do – what a lovely religion for pedophiles to embrace !!! And as for ‘the women’ – I am female & I have a mind of my own, I would not allow any male to tell me what I can or cannot do, this is the problem with this ghastly religion…they have set it up to keep using 7th century thinking, and the stupid women go along with it, and unlesss they have a revolution in their midst they are stuck ! As a woman I know perfectly well that we women have controlled males for centuries by appearing to agree with everything they want, while undercutting them in other ways, and sometimes physically too (Good girl Ms. Bobbitt !!!) – but since I became an old lady I find myself in deep fury at this concept…..no men, you will not get me to whimper artfully while you posture & play ‘big man’, and nor should any other woman, young or old !!! The whole structure of ‘maleness’ needs a good demolition process for a healthier situation all around ! Thank God so many young males these days are prepared to share things on an equal footing – my sons have no problem with doing stuff around the house, or helping with nasty stuff ike diapers !

The only extraordinary reason here is the Swedish government’s monumental stupidity.

Until just recently if looked as though Sweden was opposing this barbarism. These stories are both from 2018:
“Child bride refugees spur Sweden to tighten marriage law”
https://www.reuters.com/article/us-sweden-childmarriage-law/child-bride-refugees-spur-sweden-to-tighten-marriage-law-idUSKCN1MY01J
“Sweden may become latest country to annul child marriages”
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/sweden-may-become-latest-country-annul-child-marriages-n935281
But now it looks at though they have caved to this savagery.
