natjack Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yaay! Damned if I do, damned if I don't. way to phrase a hypothesis, glam!But it's different for you, as I understand it, you're not a born Muslim, and you only converted in your 40s. So you're going to have different ways of looking at right and wrong than some fundie immam or immigrant from a village in Pakistan or somewhere. People trying to excuse something by finding out other places that do the same or worse, or did 200 years ago, doesn't wash really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natjack Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Jerry Lee Lewis married his cousin Myra when she was just 12 if I remember correctly.We've already covered that. And look what it did for his career ... slung out of UK and dumped by all his associates in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyfriday Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 People trying to excuse something by finding out other places that do the same or worse, or did 200 years ago, doesn't wash really. But no one's trying to excuse anything-99% of posters on this thread abhor what this father is advocating and have been quite vocal in saying so.

boyfriday Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I would imagine that the idea of a 12 year old bride would not be unacceptable to a follower of Mohammed,after all he led by example didnt he,of course the majority wouldnt show that face in public would they? So you believe the majority of Muslims would marry and have sex with a 12 year old child? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaabMan Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 So you believe the majority of Muslims would marry and have sex with a 12 year old child? Of course they would.

XXTickerXX Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Of course they would. Whats good for the prophet is good for the follower is it not? Isn`t 12 a bit old.Aisha was only 9 when she married Mohammed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaabMan Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Isn`t 12 a bit old.Aisha was only 9 when she married Mohammed. I know, its wrong and sick. Personally i think little girls should be treated like little girls and not sex objects or property. Its just wrong it still goes on in the 21st century.

Total Chaos Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Muslims can marry at 13 anyway. XXTickerXX from the corner of my eye, i keep thinking a small fly is on my monitor,from your avator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerage Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Yes 12 is definately too young. Personally I would not like to think that any girl was handed over for marriage at any age it should be done for love and her own choice. I certainly wouldn't like to think of my own daughter at 16 being handed over to some bloke 10 or 20 years older!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frededwards Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I couldn't care less what they do in their countries of origin, but whilst in ours they should obey the indiginous legistlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
