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

Philippines: Islamic scholars invoke the Qur’an in opposing law forbidding child marriage

Nov 24, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 16 Comments

No surprise here. 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 […]

Pakistan: 13-year-old Christian girl rescued from her 44-year-old abductor and rapist ‘husband’

Nov 6, 2020 12:00 pm By Christine Douglass-Williams 23 Comments

Child marriage is part of Islamic tradition and law (Sahih Bukhari book 63, hadith 122), and so is the taking of kaffir women as sex slaves (Quran 4:24, 4:3, 23:1-6, 33:50, 70:30). The practice of abduction and forced conversion of non-Muslim girls, followed by forced marriage, is routine in Pakistan. The suffering of non-Muslim girls […]

Australia: Muslim migrant grooms 14-year-old girl for sex, says in his culture there’s no minimum age

Oct 2, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer 44 Comments

Mustafa Naseri is right about Afghan culture, which is, of course, deeply rooted within Islam. 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 […]

India: Muslim rapes 10-year-old girl who is forced to marry him, then he divorces her

Aug 25, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam by Muhammad’s example. The rape doesn’t matter; any guilt the rapist thereby incurs is expiated by the marriage itself. And divorce of prepubescent girls is provided for in the Qur’an: “And those who no longer expect menstruation among your women – if you doubt, then their period is three […]

Pakistan court: 14-year-old Christian girl kidnapped and converted to Islam must remain married to her captor

Aug 10, 2020 3:00 pm By Robert Spencer

These “love jihad” incidents are motivated by supremacist assumptions. The idea is that the Muslim community will always grow at the expense of the non-Muslim community. In the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, the court shares the same assumptions. “Pakistani Court Rules 14-Year-Old Christian Girl Must Remain Married to Muslim Kidnapper,” by John Hayward, Breitbart, August […]

Turkey: Religious Affairs Ministry says it’s permissible for girls to be married at age nine

Aug 10, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

It would have been surprising if the Diyanet had said anything else.

Aisha, Muhammad’s Child Bride: A Rebuttal of Lesley Hazleton

Jul 23, 2020 11:00 am By Isaac Marshall

 ‘Quick-witted’, ‘tart tongued’, ‘daring’, ‘headstrong’ and ‘assertive’ are not five phrases I would immediately attribute to Aisha when I hear them. What springs to mind is rather ‘prepubescent child-bride’; the authority for this assertion consists of multiple Islamic sources rather than speculative, cringeworthy platitudes. This is the issue we face when dissecting one of […]

Turkey: “Banning Early Marriages is Fighting Against Allah”

Jul 22, 2020 8:00 am By Uzay Bulut

A Muslim group in Turkey has set up a platform called “Turkey’s Platform of Family Assembly for Young Marriages” to defend child marriages and expressed their opposition to women’s rights advocates and international conventions, accusing them of “increasing prostitution and violence.” In a written statement, the President of the Platform, Adem Çevik, said that “to […]

Human Rights Commission of Pakistan says over 1000 non-Muslim girls forcibly converted to Islam annually

Jun 16, 2020 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Notice that Islamic organizations blocked attempts to outlaw this: “the Sindh government attempted to outlaw forced conversions and marriages twice. Though the bill was unanimously passed by the Sindh Assembly, religious parties objected to an age limit for conversions and threatened to besiege the assembly if the bill received the approval of the governor. This […]

Nigeria: Muslim cleric shares Facebook post about how a five-year-old girl raped an adult male

“A 30-year-old Islamic convert who was arrested after brandishing a machete over the weekend is said to have quarrelled with a neighbouring family whose 11-year-old daughter he wanted to marry….The family called the police and officers arrived at the address of the Islamic convert who had locked himself in his mother’s home.

UK: Muslim who was “respected Blackburn community figure” sexually assaulted 8-year-old girl

Dec 14, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

This is reminiscent of the many, many sickening cases in which Roman Catholic priests sexually assaulted young girls and boys. The difference is that while sexual assault, even of young children, occurs in all cultures, only in Islam does it have divine sanction. In this case, victim was eight years old. This may have been […]

Muslim cleric: “Allah permitted the Prophet Muhammad to marry Aisha when she was 9 years old”

Islamic apologists in the West routinely deny that Aisha was nine. Will they accuse this cleric of “Islamophobia”? Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam.

“Child marriage is not regarded as forced marriage in Switzerland and is therefore not prohibited”

This means that Switzerland will only see more child marriage, because as Muslim migrants stream into the country, many of them will bring with them certain attitudes. Child marriage is sanctioned in Islam. Islamic tradition records that Muhammad consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) Aisha when she was nine, and the resultant fact that child […]
