I answered no opinion.

One society's pedophilia is another society's cultural norm. Period. This is a loaded question meant to incite/demean, imo.

Well obviously from this video, I'm sure you can draw the conclusion that what we in the West would classify as underage six is permitted. Be aware however that pedophilia is a term with various biological, sociological, and legal definitions.

I personally am repulsed by the idea of forced marriages in the first place. Pedophilia is the least of my many issues with traditional Islamic culture.
 
Don't Christians believe that God impregnated a young teenage girl?

Seems to me that back in the day, they had a totally different concept of pedophilia, regardless of modern beliefs on the matter.

I agree Maggie that the argument of moral relativism can be invoked here. However, it is my personal opinion that this is wrong. Girls/women in such situations rarely get a say in who they marry, and in most cases probably don't enjoy having sex with someone they're forced to be with.
 
Islam is not some monolithic entity. Each nation has its own laws that decide the age of consent. That number is higher or lower depending on where you are.

The biggest problem is, that this "cultural norm" will a norm here ( together with Sharia law) , and very very soon.

 
Not likely. See, states in the US have this little thing called "age of consent." That's not about to go away just because Muslims are increasing in number.
 
Yep, some information for you.



 
my second roommate in college was a muslim. he was 21, his mother was 30. she was 9 years old when he was born. a grown man having sex with a 9 year old girl is paedo.

there is a difference between a young teenage girl (13-14) and a 6 year old. :shrug:
 
you're right, the first one is duty to kill the infidels.

Quotes from the Qur'an

I feel like this horse is beaten dead beyond recognition. Yes, there are quotes in the Quran that instruct Muslims to kill infidels. Guess what, the Old Testament also contains this little book called Deuteronomy. People of all religions need to THINK before they take scripture literally and disregard context.
 
Nevertheless almost all Muslims hate non-Muslims.

Islam Watch - Links to other websites

I'm not sure the link you provides proves your claim that almost all Muslims hate non-Muslims. I have plenty of friends that are Muslim, who are every day Americans. Some are more devout than others. Not one of them "hates" me or wants to kill me for being a nonreligious deist. It's evident that you know very little of the people that actually practice Islam outside of what your personal selection of sources chooses to tell you, and this is coming from someone who despises organized religion and many of the facets of traditional Islamic culture.

Big surprise, Alfons giving gramatically disasterous reactionary statements. I'm pretty sure that Islam isn't the only religion that deserves criticism in fact all the Abrahamic faiths are pretty up there.

The biggest problem is, that this "cultural norm" will a norm here ( together with Sharia law) , and very very soon.

Evidence? There is no significant movement nor will there ever be for sharia law to become the status quo in the US. Last I checked you're pretty fond of christianity being the norm, what do you normally call a kettle sir?

I don't disagree with you. Personally, I find the way that Islam treats women (and, in this example, children) to be appalling. But it is their culture. They are not evil because of their beliefs. I don't believe in hanging dogs up by their hind legs, clubbing to death and eating them for dinner is acceptable behavior either. But it's done in other countries. And I'd say the same thing about eating live monkey brains. Now, although these have to do with animals, it's absolutely appalling to me that people would do such things. But that's their lifestyle. And as long as they don't bring these appalling lifestyles to my country, I have little say in the matter. Except one of tolerance.

I completely agree. I feel that we should still be able to judge them, though not force anything upon them. I will say as a liberal however that tolerance only goes so far. One should not be tolerant of behavior that is harmful to others.
 
I answered no... realizing there are groups and areas in this world where Islamic people would marry off their daughters at 12 or younger and those men would have sex with them. That I think is the exception of brainswashed peoples living out in the remote villages. In society I would have a hard time believing that a large percentage (say >30%) of Muslim's worldwide would engage in what the West would consider pedophilia.

Yes I also realize that Muhammad married Aisha at 6 and had sex with her supposedly at 9. That was a long time ago ... the question is positioned in "today" - not historically. If the question were historic - I'd have answered "yes".
 
If you look up the entry for "reactionary" in the dictionary, you will find a picture of Alfons freaking out and running away from a dude with a turban.

It's ok I'm sure Palin will save him.
