Germany’s top court demands easing of child marriage law amid mass migration from Muslim countries
With unchecked mass migration from Muslim-majority North Africa and Middle East, the German authorities are struggling to cope with the surge in child marriages across the country. Germany’s top constitutional court on Wednesday urged the government to ease the child marriage law which nullifies such marital unions, and requires the separation of child brides from […]
Pakistan: Sharia court dismisses plea from Sharia advocates against law that sets minimum age for marriage
“The arguments for or against the law were cited from Islamic literature, not one argument was made citing human rights or other modern progressive ideas.” 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 […]
UK: Muslim ‘trusted community figurehead’ guilty of multiple serious sex offenses against children
The whataboutery is likely to flow thick and fast over this post: what about the Roman Catholic priests who abused children on an industrial scale? What about all the other non-Muslim pedophiles, such as the mayor of College Park, Maryland? And so I must emphasize yet again, for those in the back, that I am […]
Denmark: Muslim migrant takes 12-year-old to Somalia for marriage with 75-year-old, sells her when she refuses
As we have noted many times, women are treated essentially as commodities in Islamic law, and this story is a particularly revealing incidence of that. When the girl refused the arranged marriage, her father began to treat her as if she were an infidel woman, who could be treated as a sex slave as per […]
Pakistan: 60-year-old Muslim kidnaps 15-year-old Christian girl, forces her to marry him and convert to Islam
Imagine the outcry if a Muslim teenage girl had been forced to convert to Christianity and marry a Christian. But that would not happen and should not happen. This, on the other hand, happens all the time, and gets no media attention. It doesn’t fit the narrative. “Christian Girl Kidnapped by 60-Year-Old Muslim in Pakistan,” […]
Belgium: Muslim migrant rapes and impregnates eight-year-old, says in his country sex with minors is accepted
Sex with minors is widely accepted in Syria and other majority-Muslim countries for one primary reason: the example of Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. 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 […]
UN calls on Islamic Republic of Pakistan to halt forced conversions, forced marriages and child marriages
The Qur’an says “There is no compulsion in religion” (2:256). However, what constitutes “compulsion” is in the eye of the beholder. The institutionalized subjugation of the dhimma, with its regular humiliation and harassment, from which one can be freed for the simple price of converting to Islam, is not considered compulsion. Remember Steve Centanni and […]
A Child Bride in Afghanistan
CNN’s relentlessly favorable coverage of Islam is well known. It is useful to recall, however, that this has not always been uniformly the case. The fact was little noted at the time, but just over one year ago, there came a welcome surprise: CNN inadvertently helped to undo a nine-year-old Afghan girl’s marriage to a […]
Turkey: Muslims enraged, demand arrest of journalist for revealing Muslim cleric’s marriage to a child
This is a quite common phenomenon. Supporters of jihad violence and Sharia oppression routinely grow enraged over the reporting of news items that make jihad or Islam look bad, however accurate that news may be. They’re not angry at the incident, only at the fact that it is being reported. “Journalist faces online harassment after […]
