Definition of Pedophilia
Pedophilia (US) or paedophilia (UK) is the paraphilia of being
sexually attracted primarily or exclusively to prepubescent or
peripubescent children[1]. A person with this attraction is called a
pedophile or paedophile.
In contrast to the generally accepted medical definition, the term
pedophile is also used colloquially to denote significantly older
adults who are sexually attracted to adolescents below the local age
of consent,[2] as well as those who have sexually abused a child.
In contemporary law enforcement definitions, the term "pedophile" is
generally used to describe those accused or convicted of the sexual
abuse of a minor. Pedophilia is considered a taboo and is illegal in
most societies, cultures and religions; except in the Islamic world
with regards to Islam.
[edit] Primary Articles Exploring Islam's Relationship with Pedophilia
The following are summaries of pages discussing Islam, in relation to
pedophilia:
[edit] Pedophilia in the Qur'an
Main Article: Pedophilia in the Quran
The Qur'an permits pedophilia. The following Qur'anic verse allows sex
with pre-pubescent girls who have not yet menstruated.
And (as for) those of your women who have despaired of menstruation,
if you have a doubt, their prescribed time shall be three months, and
of those too who have not had their courses; and (as for) the pregnant
women, their prescribed time is that they lay down their burden; and
whoever is careful of (his duty to) Allah He will make easy for him
his affair.
Qur'an 65:4
What is being discussed is the Iddat (العدة), which is a waiting
period a female must observe before she can remarry. According to this
verse, the stipulated waiting period for a divorced girl who has not
yet menstruated is three months.
[edit] Was Muhammad a Pedophile?
Main Article: Aisha's Age of Consummation
Muhammad was a pedophile, even according to the most stringent
clinical definition of pedophilia - the DSM-IV-TR:
A. Over a period of at least six months, recurrent, intense sexually
arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual
activity with a prepubescent child or children (generally age 13 years
or younger).
B. The person has acted on these sexual urges, or the sexual urges or
fantasies caused marked distress or interpersonal difficulty.
C. The person is at least age 16 years and at least 5 years older than
the child or children in Criterion A.
Note: This does not include an individual in late adolescence involved
in an ongoing sexual relationship with a 12- or 13-year-old.
PsychiatryOnline - Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders, Fourth Edition
Muhammad was engaged to Aisha when she was only 6 year old and he was
51, and consummated the marriage while she was still pre-pubescent,
aged 9 years old. Thus he fulfilled all three requirements needed for
a positive diagnosis. A short version of the same article can be found
here.
[edit] Muhammad's companions and Pedophilia
Main Article: Muhammad's companions and Pedophilia
Besides Muhammad himself, his companions also committed pedophilia.
Umar was the 3rd caliph of Islam and married Umm Kulthum at a time
when she was 10-12 years old. Some sources even say that she was five
years old when Umar married her.
"'Umar asked 'Ali for the hand of his daughter, Umm Kulthum in
marriage. 'Ali replied that she has not yet attained the age (of
maturity). 'Umar replied, 'By Allah, this is not true. You do not want
her to marry me. If she is underage, send her to me'. Thus 'Ali gave
his daughter Umm Kulthum a dress and asked her to go to 'Umar and tell
him that her father wants to know what this dress is for. When she
came to Umar and gave him the message, he grabbed her hand and
forcibly pulled her towards him. 'Umm Kulthum asked him to leave her
hand, which Umar did and said, 'You are a very mannered lady with
great morals. Go and tell your father that you are very pretty and you
are not what he said of you'. With that 'Ali married Umm Kulthum to
'Umar."
In Tarikh Khamees, Volume 2, p. 384 ('Dhikr Umm Kalthum') and Zakhair
Al-Aqba, p. 168
[edit] Contemporary Pedophilic Islamic Marriages
Main Article: Contemporary Pedophilic Islamic Marriages
Because of its many endorsements within Islamic scripture, child
marriages are permitted by the majority of Muslim scholars and
leaders, and in many Islamic countries it is common practice.
Because this happened to the Prophet, we cannot tell people that it is
prohibited to marry at an early age.
Sheikh Hamoud Hashim al-Tharihi, general secretary of the Vice and
Virtue Committee and member of the Islah Party in Yemen
Girls far below the age of puberty are forcibly married to older
persons (sometimes in their 50s and later) for various personal gains
by the girls' guardian. Pedophilic Islamic marriages are most
prevalent in Pakistan and Afghanistan, followed by other countries in
the middle east and Bangladesh.[3][4] This practice may also be
prevalent to a lesser extent amongst other Muslim communities, and is
worryingly on the rise among the growing Muslim populations in many
Western countries, such as the United Kingdom[5] and the United States.
[6] There are many reasons and justification that may be given by the
world-wide practitioners of pedophilic Islamic marriages, the common
denominator being Islam.
[edit] Other Important Articles
[edit] The Meaning of 'Consummate'
Main Article: Consummate
A growing number of Muslims (primarily in the West) cannot bring
themselves to accept the narrations given by Aisha in which she states
that she was married to Muhammad when she was six years old and that
he consummated his marriage with her when she was nine years of age,
even though these are recorded in Bukhari's sahih ahadith collection.
These Muslims will usually resort to questioning the English
translation [7] of Dr. Mushin Khan, without addressing the ahadith in
their original Arabic. A reading of the relevant Bukhari ahadith make
it clear that Muhammad had sexual intercourse with Aisha when she was
nine years of age. The terms used are: "udkhilath" and "bana biha",
which can only mean "sexual intercourse" in the context of the
ahadith. The confusion from Muslims regarding this comes from their
lack of understanding regarding the English phrase "consummation of
marriage", their ignorance of Arabic and their unwillingness to admit
that their prophet had sexual intercourse with a nine year old child.
Instead of attacking the English phrase "consummation of the
marriage", it might better serve Muslim apologists to read the
relevant ahadith in the original Arabic before venturing a rebuttal.
[edit] Islamic Writing and Pedophilia
Main Articles: Qur'an, Hadith and Scholars:Pedophilia and Qur'an,
Hadith and Scholars:Aisha
There are many references to the permissibility of pedophilia, to be
found in authentic Islamic scripture.
Narrated Sahl bin Sad: While we were sitting in the company of the
Prophet a woman came to him and presented herself (for marriage) to
him. The Prophet looked at her, lowering his eyes and raising them,
but did not give a reply. One of his companions said, "Marry her to me
O Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet asked (him), "Have you got anything?"
He said, "I have got nothing." The Prophet said, "Not even an iron
ring?" He Sad, "Not even an iron ring, but I will tear my garment into
two halves and give her one half and keep the other half." The
Prophet; said, "No. Do you know some of the Quran (by heart)?" He
said, "Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I have agreed to marry her to you
with what you know of the Qur'an (as her Mahr)." 'And for those who
have no courses (i.e. they are still immature). (65.4) And the 'Iddat
for the girl before puberty is three months (in the above Verse).
Sahih Bukhari 7:62:63
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) married her when she was seven years old, and he
was taken to his house as a bride when she was nine, and her dolls
were with her; and when he (the Holy Prophet) died she was eighteen
years old.
Sahih Muslim 8:3311
[edit] The Harmful effects of Abuse, Documented in Islamic Scripture
Main Article: The Tragedy of Aisha: a Product of Abuse
It is no secret that sexual abuse of children has serious consequences
on its victims and, among Muslims and non-Muslims alike, it is no
longer a secret that the Qur'an explicitly condones pedophilia. Of
course, for Muslims to finally acknowledge the harmful effects of
abuse on a child it becomes necessary for us to expose those effects
through authentic Islamic sources. That is why we find Aisha,
Muhammad's third and "favorite" wife, to be the perfect model for
assessing pedophilia and its consequences on the victims. The life of
Aisha bint Abu Bakr truly was a seventh century tragedy.
[edit] Pedophilia and the Tu Quoque Defence
Main Article: A Refutation of 'The Islamophobe's Glass House'
A refutation of the e-book The Islamophobe's Glass House: Refuting the
Claim that Prophet Muhammad was a Pedophile by Ibn al-Hashimi. In his
introduction titled "The Glass House", the author reveals that the
first way he is going to prove Muhammad was not a pedophile is by
applying the logical fallacy of ad hominem tu quoque. His first claim
is that Jewish law permits a man to marry a girl as young as three
years of age, and Christian law permits a man to marry a girl as young
as seven years of age. He also brings up Mary, the mother of Jesus,
and Joseph. Relying on 2nd century AD non-canonical (not considered to
be Christian scripture) writings, the author attempts to parallel
Joseph's actions with those of Muhammad. Both claims are false, and
the author fails to prove that the label of "pedophile" is inaccurate
for a 54-year-old man who has sexual intercourse with a nine-year-old
girl.
[edit] Muhammad a Pedophile? Another Look
Main Article: Was Muhammad a Pedophile?
A second look at the question; was Muhammad a pedophile? One of the
most disturbing things about Islam is that it does not categorically
condemn pedophilia. Indeed, it cannot, for to do so would draw
attention to the pedophilia of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.
Mormonism has the same problem with its founder, Joseph Smith. Many
Muslims cannot condemn pedophilia even if they would like to, for they
would have to abandon Islam. Muslims tacitly approve of pedophilia,
even if they are embarrassed to say so. So mesmerized are Muslims by
the example of Muhammad's pedophilia that they are unable to
categorically denounce pedophilia or feel shame. It is prevalent in
many Muslim countries disguised as child marriage. The UN is today
trying to stop the evil of child marriage among the backward Islamic
regions of Asia and Africa. The future of some 300 million young girls
depends on it.
[edit] Proof that Aisha was Still Pre-pubescent Aged Fifteen
Main Article: Pedophilia Revisited
Most Muslims are unaware that the Sahih ahadith say that Aisha, the
wife of Muhammad, was below the age of puberty when she was at least
fourteen years old. This is because they have never read the Sahih
ahadith in Arabic. The narrators of the Sahih ahadith were not ashamed
that Muhammad had married and had sexual relations with Aisha when she
was below the age of puberty. Hence, from the original Arabic, it is
clear that Aisha was below the age of puberty at the age of 14 (at the
time of the raid on the Bani Mustaliq) or 15 (at the time of the
Ethiopian slaves dancing incident).

Paedophilia was pretty much acceptable within the Babylonian Talmund
as well though there may be some natural explanation for these
passages such as the need to deal with moral situations as they arose,
arranged marriages, precocious sexual behaviour:
It appears that some of these practices were what caused ructions when
Jews migrated to Europe.
Moed Kattan 17a . If a Jew is tempted to do evil he should go to a
city where he is not known and do the evil there.
Sanhedrin 55b . A Jew may marry a three year old girl (specifically,
three years "and a day" old).
Sanhedrin 54b . A Jew may have sex with a child as long as the child
is less than nine years old.
A girl who is three years of age and one day may be betrothed by
cohabitation. . . .(Yeb. 57b)
A maiden aged three years and a day may be acquired in marriage by
coition, and if her deceased husband's brother cohabited with her she
becomes his. (Sanh. 69a, 69b, also discussed in Yeb. 60b)
Of coruse this is only the Babylonian Talmund (there are other books
from non babylonian Jews) and not the Torah.
The last can be disputed though

From it
"Exhibit A is a hitherto secret document called Crimen Sollicationis -
Latin for "the crime of solicitation" - issued in 1962 by the
Congregation of the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), an office attached to
the Vatican. Described as a "blueprint for deception and concealment"
by lawyers investigating the worldwide sex-abuse scandals, Crimen
Sollicationis contains strict instructions for dealing with what the
Vatican calls the "worst crimes" - such as allegations of paedophilia
and bestiality. Rather than report these offences to the civil
authorities, the CDF instructs bishops to investigate them "in the
most secretive way" or face the "penalty of excommunication".
Then, in 2001, the CDF followed this document up with a second
directive, which ordered bishops to send their reports directly to
Rome, where they would be kept safely under lock and key along with
other so-called Pontifical Secrets. Wall and his co-authors argue that
it is this and not the Da Vinci Code that is the "real conspiracy" at
the heart of modern Catholicism. They say it is no coincidence that
the person responsible for the promulgation of the second document was
none other than the head of the CDF, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, now
Pope Benedict XVI. "
S you see, it's nothing to do with "comments precluding a case".
Paedophilia has been widespread in many religions, including the Roman
form of Christianity. The Vatican however, rather than dealing with
the issue sternly seeks sternly to achieve a cover -up in every case,
and it's adherents in the main fear speaking out!

"Acceptable to Catholics" LOL, islamotard, in the USA ALL such
Catholic priests
have been prosecuted for their kiddy diddling, unlike in islamonazi
shitocracies where
it's all very legal.
Nice hate spam, you covered all the requirements.
Trouble is, you failed to tell the audience Islam was the first of the
Abrahamic faiths (Judaism,Christianity and Islam) to provide
protection to young girls from inappropriate sexual attention. Being
the first to address this problem raises problems of its own,
particularly for a "religion of the book" that writes things down. The
first real protection of its kind provided by an Abrahamic faith was
pretty revolutionary a thousand years ago, but it doesn't measure up
to that expected by modern society today. Yet hate-spammers regularly
quote this ancient document as if it is the last word for Islamic
societies.
Just as Judaism has evolved since the Babylonian Talmud declared sex
with a girl under the age of 3 was inconsequential, Islamic societies
in parts of the world with advanced knowledge of child protection
issues have moved beyond the pioneering protection detailed in the
Koran.
Christianity too has acknowledged community standards for a minimum
age of consent, despite its canonical text being silent on the issue.
Christianity left it to secular law to develop child protection rules
and relies on its founder's statement that Christians must abide by
the rules of the society in which they live.
The first attempt to set a minimum age of consent in a Christian
dominated western society chose the age of 12, because that was the
most probable age of Mary when she became pregnant with Jesus. If she
had remained unmarried older than this in the society of the time she
would have been considered an "old maid". In Mary's society the only
protection the Talmud provided was for girls over the age of 3, and
even then stated that a man "acquired" a girl over 3 as a wife by
having sex with her. Sex with a girl under the age of 3 was deemed
"inconsequential".
If hate-spammers applied the same standards to Judaism and
Christianity as they do to Islam, we would expect them to write
articles condemning both Jews and Christians for allowing sex with
girls under the age of 3. After all, the last canonical text which
applies to these branches of the Abrahamic faith, written a millennium
before the Koran, said it was inconsequential.
The intent of the hate-spammer is not to inform the reader however,
but to provide disinformation in an attempt to foment hatred against
minorities.
So long as we keep this in mind we can avoid being poisoned by their
hate spam.
To be fair it is not acceptable at all and if discovered was dealt
with, it was however dealt with too much leniency and without adaquete
concern and respect for the victim. This was apparently in the
interests of stopping a scandal and in the hope that the offending
church official would repent and reform.

"Thighing" is an Islamic practice still followed today even in Muslim
communities in the U.S. and Britain:
Regarding the practice of "thighing", the masterbating between the
legs of a
female infant or actually sodomizing her, Islamic clerics have this to
say:
Pedophilia decrees from www.islamic-fatwa.net
Question 1809
After the permanent committee for the scientific research and fatwahs
(religious decrees) reviewed the question forwarded by the grand
scholar of
the committee with reference number 1809 issued on 3/5/1453 and
7/5/1421
(Islamic calendar)
Question: 'It has become widespread these days, and especially during
weddings, the habit of mufa'khathat of the children. (mufa'khathat -
literally translated, it means "placing between the thighs" which
means
placing the male member between the thighs of a child).
What is the opinion of scholars, knowing full well that the prophet,
the
peace of Allah be upon him, also practiced the "thighing" of Aisha -
the
mother of believers - may Allah be pleased with her ?
Answer: After studying the issue, the committee has answered as
follows:
As for the prophet, his thighing his fiancée Aisha when she was six
years of
age and not able to consummate the relationship was due to her small
age.
That is why the Prophet used to place his male member between her
thighs and
massage it, as the prophet had control of his male member not like
other
men.
Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, The Supreme Leader of Iran, the Shia
Grand
Ayatollah, 1979-89 said in his official statements:
"A man can quench his sexual lusts with a child as young as a baby.
However,
he should not penetrate. Sodomizing the baby is halal (allowed by
sharia).
If the man penetrates and damages the child, then he should be
responsible
for her subsistence all her life. This girl, however, does not count
as one
of his four permanent wives. The man will not be eligible to marry the
girl's sister. It is better for a girl to marry when her menstruation
starts, and
at her husband's house rather than her father's home. Any father
marrying
his daughter so young will have a permanent place in heaven."
Khomeini, "Tahrirolvasyleh" fourth volume, Darol Elm, Gom, Iran, 1990
"It is not illegal for an adult male to 'thigh' or enjoy a young girl
who is
still in the age of weaning; meaning to place his penis between her
thighs,
and to kiss her."
Ayatu Allah Al Khumaini's "Tahrir Al wasila" p. 241, issue number 12
"Young boys or girls in full sexual effervescence are kept from
getting
married before they reach the legal age of majority. This is against
the
intention of divine laws. Why should the marriage of pubescent girls
and
boys be forbidden because they are still minors, when they are allowed
to
listen to the radio and to sexually arousing music?"

MUHAMMAD, THE PROPHET OF ISLAM
PART 1 MECCA
An Arab is regarded as an old man, a sheik, when he is fifty.
Muhammad married Aisha when she was six years old in Mecca and she
joined
him in Medina three years later when he was 53. He began having sex
with
Aisha when she was nine years old and still playing with dolls.
This is the original story told by the ONLY valid biographers of
Muhammad
and Islam, Ibn Ishaq and Tabari, and the hadiths of Bukhari and
Muslim.
Refer also to the works of the Qur'an commentators Ibn Kathir and Ibn
Qayyim. (Ibn Kathir, The Life of the Prophet Muhammad (Al-Sira
al-Nabawiyya), Volume II, translated by professor Trevor Le Gassick,

Muhammad said that he had dreamed of Aisha before demanding her from
her
father, and his own brother in Islam, Abu Bakr, claiming special
'prophets
rights' when Abu Bakr was reluctant to give her to him.
Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 235: Narrated 'Aisha: That the
Prophet
said to her, "You have been shown to me twice in my dreams. I saw you
pictured on a piece of silk and someone said to me, 'This is your
wife.'
When I uncovered the picture, I saw that it was yours. I said, 'If
this is
from Allah, it will be done."
Bukhari, Volume 7, Book 62, Number 18: Narrated 'Ursa: The Prophet
asked Abu
Bakr for 'Aisha's hand in marriage. Abu Bakr said "But I am your
brother!"
The Prophet said, "You are my brother in Allah's religion and His
Book, but
she (Aisha) is lawful for me to marry."
Marriage to a female already offered to another was illegal in Arab
law. Abu
Bakr had already arranged for Aisha to marry Djubayr Mutim.
Muhammad married 'A'isha in Mecca when she was a child of six and
lived with
her in Medina when she was nine or ten. She was the only virgin that
he
married. Her father, Abu Bakr, married her to him and the apostle gave
her
four hundred dirhams. (Ibn Ishaq, Sirat Rasulullah (The Life of
Muhammad)
translated by Alfred Guillaume [Oxford University Press, p. 792)
Tabari VII:7 "The Prophet married Aisha in Mecca three years before
the
Hijrah, after the death of Khadija. At the time she was six."
Tabari IX:128 "When the Prophet married Aisha, she was very young and
not
yet ready for consummation." [The History of Al-Tabari: The Foundation
of
the Community] translated by M.V. McDonald annotated by W. Montgomery

annotated by Ismail K. Poonawala [State University of New York Press,

Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 236: Narrated Hisham's father:
Khadija
died three years before the Prophet departed to Medina. He stayed
there for
two years or so and then he married 'Aisha when she was a girl of six
years
of age, and he consummated that marriage when she was nine years old.

The article is accurate, the events are accurate, the MSM ignores them

That's a laugh.
It also indicates immaturity to codify as devine a law the allowing of
betrothal of a 54 year old man to a girl of 6 years of age for placing
of his penis between a girls thigh and 9 for full sex.
It would have been better to have attempted nothing at all.

Christianity works by attempting to invoke internal compassion within
its adherence rather than creating laws though it clearly declares
what is right and wrong in some cases. The lack of stultifying 'law'
was probably the genious of christianity. It was supposedly tought by
parables, examples, thought experiments etc.
Apart from midde eastern syric and coptic christianity most modern
christianity is infact Germanic and incorporates Germanic mores. If
you are interested you might read "the germanisation of early medieval
christianity"
The small nuclear family of europeans, their small villages and the
egalitarian status of women (which only declined under christianity)
ensured that 'child abuse' was probably relatively rare.
In Europe polygamy was rare since women were economically dependant on
men for climatic reasons and men couldn't afford to feed more than
one, hence they were ironically more companionate and equal.
Note the life of a Viking Woman: (You may assume that European
pagans had similar mores before their conversion to christianity)
Girls were married between the ages of 12-16. The girls had no final
say in the marriage and they were then expected to run a household. A
wife could divorce their husband if their husband mistreated them or
their children, was lazy or not a good provider or insulted her
family. The process of divorce was quite simple and all the wife had
to do was call some witnesses and proclaim she was divorced from her
husband at the front door and at their bed.
The Viking woman had more rights than any other woman in Europe at the
time. Everything a woman brought into a Viking marriage was hers, and
did not become the property of her husband's estate. This included her
dowry, which usually included linen and wool, a spinning wheel, a loom
and a bed. This may vary, depending on the wealth of the bride's
family.
Husbands trusted their wives and allowed them to be responsible for
many important things. The woman of the house wore the keys to all the
buildings tied around her waist as a sign of her authority and
responsibility.
One thing noble about the Viking's way of life is the way that they
treated their women. In many cultures, women are not entitled to the
same rights and respect as Viking women were given. In most cultures
it would be the man's decision to divorce the wife, but in the
Viking's case this is different. Also, the wife was not regarded as
the possession of a man, but almost like an equal other. She was given
responsibilities and trust, and the right to divorce her husband if he
was not treating her respectfully. The only enforcement that remained
on Viking women was that they did not get a choice about whom they
married.

The Catholic Church or any other Church hide nothing at any trial
Interesting stuff about Viking women. I'll take your word for it until
I read otherwise.
Customs are different in different countries. Mohammed said any girl
who was married without her consent could have the marriage annulled
simply by asking as soon as she reached puberty. He also forbade men
having sex with girls before they reached puberty. Viking women could
be married without their consent you say? Fortunately the world has
turned many times since then.

Being considered an old maid by 12 reflected the customs in many parts
of the world back in Mohammed's time. In societies where the life
expectancy was 30 and one in 3 women died of complications of
childbirth I suppose you had to start early or risk extinction.

I see you are trying to keep the hate pot boiling. Pity female genital
mutilation is a pre-Islamic tribal tradition that is not condoned by
any canonical Islamic text. It is a sad fact that 12 year old girls,
and younger, become pregnant even in western societies regardless of
their religious background. It is not surprising girls die of
pregnancy complications in countries with low standards of medical
care.

The position of women in many societies is not a great one. Singling

Marying at 11, then being impregnated. Idiotic.
15, 14 maybe 13 in some cases but never 11.
Men withholding medical treatment from their wives because the
religion gives the husband power over the woman.
That continues to happen as well.

It's clear that the Koran is a limiting document, it is a violent
doctrine, it is discriminatory, it is far nastier for women than
christianity.
I am not one to make excuses for what is an anachronistic fabrication
simply because it is someones dear 'religion'
In fact it is not so much a religion as a form of social movement that
is incompatible with secular governnece and religious freedom.

In the Church as a while there have been cover ups extending to the

As for you, your persona is so nasty that you are very like a

The church acts according to Christian Law and does not make comments
without evidence. If enough evidence is found the only persons
informed are the Police (not the media)
Then the Church is legally bound by law to only present evidence in
court which can take years. The media of course try to gouge

I note your failure to properly capitalise the word "Islamic". Bit of
a giveaway really ;-)
It is no surprise that cultures that preserve pre-Islamic tribal
traditions in addition to following Islam have Islamic clerics among
their population who promote their tribal traditions. Clerics are part
of the community after all.
Unlike Christianity, there is no power hierarchy in Islam. There is no
Islamic Pope with the authority to dictate policy, so each Islamic
community makes its own policy. This makes it easy for hate mongers to
pick and choose instances of poor policy to suit their agenda. If they
applied the same standard to Christianity they would report the
beliefs of "Little Pebble" (http://www.shoal.net.au/~mwoa/) as if
every Christian in the world subscribed to these beliefs and engaged
in these practices:

When in doubt chant some dogma.
I do a little work in the area of child protection. If you want your
eyes opened regarding the prevalence of underage sex in western
cultures I suggest you attend a training seminar with Barnardos or one
of the other child protection agencies. Part of the training involves
dealing with sexual advances from pre-teens. It happens so frequently
it is included as part of the standard training programme.
If you need a concrete example, try this:
"Pre-teen pregnancy fuels outrage at DOCS
MARK COLVIN: The revelation that a 12-year-old girl in Central Western
New South Wales is pregnant would be enough on its own to fuel the
flames of outrage. But add the detail that the girl's mother had
allowed her to share a bed with a 15-year-old boyfriend, and those
flames explode into a bonfire." (http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2008/
s2600038.htm)
The girl's mother allowed her to share a bed with her 15 year old
boyfriend from the age of 11. Cases like this rarely make the news
because they are handled quietly within the child protection system.

The issue here is not age of marriage, but age of sexual activity.
In many third world countries marriage is the only form of social
security for women and girls. A thousand years ago Islam wrote the
first protection against inappropriate sexual advances in Abrahamic
history into its canonical text. It was a revolution on the same scale
as Women's Lib in today's context. Judaism and Christianity never
offered protection of any kind to women and girls. Yet today hate-
spammers rail against Islam for daring to be the first to offer such
protection.
Seems to me people who do this are more interested in fomenting hate
than protecting women.
> Men withholding medical treatment from their wives because the

> That continues to happen as well.
Dozens of children seem to die in the USA every year because their
parents withhold medical treatment for religious reasons.
"There are American states in which Jehovah's Witnesses and Christian
Scientists who kill their children by denying them lifesaving blood
transfusions or other medical procedures can escape the consequences
of their crime by pleading "freedom of religion." Currently, thirty-
nine states' civil codes include religious exemptions from child abuse
or neglect charges, while thirty-one allow a religious defense to a
criminal charge. In a study of 172 child deaths where medical
treatment was withheld on religious grounds, it was found that 140
children would have had at least a 90 percent likelihood of survival
with medical care." (http://www.secularhumanism.org/library/fi/
harwood_23_03.htm)
Will we be seeing an article from you denouncing the evil American
Christians any time soon?

Take a look at how women fare under Hinduism.
Of course writing about this would confuse the message of hate
currently directed at Islam by our friends the hate-spammers.

Every text sets down limits. Contrary to your belief, the Koran
establishes better protection for women than its preceding texts in
the Abrahamic faith.
> I am not one to make excuses for what is an anachronistic fabrication

But you are one to point out aspects of the "anachronistic
fabrication" that can be used to foment hatred. You can't have it both
ways.
As a liberal my personal opinion is that people should be able to live
however they like as long as they don't interfere with the same rights
in others. I'm also interested in how other people live, and why.
Some choose to follow guidelines set down in writing thousands of
years ago. Some are pretty pedantic about it while most use the
guidelines in their modern context.
Hate-spammers simply highlight the bad behaviour of the pedants, or
try to link pre-existing tribal customs with the religion of the
target minority. This is an effective tactic if the audience is
relatively uninformed on the topic. It is easy to poison the stream in
this situation.
> In fact it is not so much a religion as a form of social movement that

Thats the Abrahamic tradition for you. One all powerful God with an
unchanging set of rules to follow. Written in stone no less.
I find it odd hatemongers gloss over the fact Islam shares common
roots with Judaism and Christianity. Attacking the majority groups in
society takes courage though, so picking on minorities is all we can
expect from them.
DM
All I did was point out your tactics.
If you find that uncomfortable, perhaps you should consider what your
conscience is trying to tell you.

The fact that their attitudes, often in long literate countries,
continues to prevail widely shows the koranic attitudes tollerate
indifference and the kind of mysoginy that leads to FGM. It quickly
dies down in communities that have converted to christianity.

The propblem with this argument is that only Catholocism has a pope.
All of the other branches of christianity work as islam does and they
do not show a propensity to advocate violence and religious
intollerance to anywhere the degree islam does.
The other problem is that there is no place in the new testement that
advocates the following
1 Subjegation of christians and jews as Dhimis
2 Enslavement and even death of Kaffirs
3 Female witness 1/4th that of a male.
4 Different rules for believers and unbelievers.
5 Severe punishment for appostates.
All of these things are in the koran. Nothing, absolutely nothing
like that exists in the Bible.
There is nothing so hideous in the bible as the above for a pope or
christian cleric to draw upon at all. Yet these things are definetly
only in the Koran.
That is a big difference. Islam can never escape the Koran. It is an
extraordinarily ambiguopus document that contradicts itself many times
but that is the only hope. The koranic scholar picks one sura that
allows tollerance or he picks one that allows intollerance as he
desires.
4 Dur al islam (the global governmental rule of islam)
The fact that your own personal religion of 'religious relitivism' ie
all religions are equal prevents you from seeing the deeply hideous
weakness of this 'religion'.
Its nice to sing kumbaya but its not realistic and drives us to ignore
'preventable evils'
It isn't even a religion its a socio-political movement, it is of a
completly different nature to 'religion' as western conditioning has
taught us.

We know its wrong.
We know its wrong for a 54 year old to marry a 6 year old, slide his
cock between her thighs, and penetrate her at 9. Wrong.
Having your primary and most revered 'prophet' do that kind of sets a
low tone doesn't it?
Must influence your societies attitude toward women.
No better than David Koresh.

15 - 11 = 3.5, on the other hand 54 - 6 = 48, 11 is 25% older than
9 and 80% older than 6.

I get your point about offering protection, it was however minimal
protection at a such a low level that effectively allowed abuse meant
that it entrenched the lowest common denominator and continues to
limit progression of islamic societies.
Judaism continues to be an evolving religion.
The need to offer 'protection' was rendundant in christianity innpart
becuase European social structures and relative sexual egalitarianism
did not create these situations.
Polygammy was limited. A Germanic man was required to offer marriage
to to the widow of his brother.

Possibly.
There are many intelligent and easily assimilated migrants from parts
of the world that most people like and can't complain about.
Islam is not one of them.
Europeans are being rapidly minoritised, there is an ethnocide by
europeans happening.
Islam is so different, so hideous it is easy to create self
consciousness in Whites.
It is after all the source of social unrest, crime, terrorism,
fatwahs, intollerance in France, Denmark etc.
However I am not for 'hating islam' for this reasons.
Europeans must recognise their own self worth, their own right to
exist and to avoid destruction by immigration.
Hating islam will not achieve this. You get nowhere with a negative.
However I am against Islamic immigration.

Mere sects and extremists within those sects.
However when I spoke to a Polish doctors who had a clinic in Morroco
he told me of several instances that happened.
There was no government to protect the woman.

Then you should be an opponent of Islam.
Islam is not liberal and it will not tollerate liberalism once
established.

Not really.
Islam rejects christ as the massiah, islam is a completely different
value system and defines a completely different relationship with god.
Islam was probably and Arab attempt to incorporate the sucess of syric-
christianity and judaism to create a kind of pan-arabic nationalist
state religion.
It needs to be treated as a socio-political movement encrusted onto a
religion rather than just another pure religion.
Hence it needs to be opposed not only religiously but politically.

George W Bush ? God 'Told him' to invade Iraq - Evil Christian!!!!
Weren't the Iraqis initially happy that Saddam was out of
power? Wasn't Saddam somewhat totalitarian in his rule of
Iraq?
In 1922, the Vatican promulgated an instruction to do with what it
called crimen solicitationis (the crime of solicitation within the
confessional) and what it called the ‘‘worst crime’’ - the sexual
abuse of children. The document was issued in Latin. No authoritative
version was produced in English.
The document was circulated only to bishops and under terms of strict
secrecy.
A new version of the guidelines was produced in 1962, but this,
according to the Murphy Commission, was unknown within the Dublin
diocese until some time in the 1990s.
Desmond Connell, the former archbishop, told the commission he had
never seen the 1962 document, nor had he met anyone who had seen it.
John Dolan, the chancellor of the diocese and a monsignor, whose job
is to ensure that the administrative records of the diocese are kept
safe, said he didn’t know that ‘‘lurking in the very end, at the very
back [of the decree crimen solicitationis], was a little paragraph on
the ‘‘worst crime’’.
He was unaware of the 1962 document until an Australian bishop
discovered towards the end of the 1990s that it was still valid. Until
then, he did not know of any guidelines by the Vatican on the issue of
clerical child sexual abuse.
The Murphy Commission commented on how ‘‘unusual’’ it was, ‘‘whereby a
document setting out the procedure for dealing with clerical child
sexual abuse was in existence but virtually no one knew about it or
used it’’.
In 1996, victims of clerical abuse hounded the bishops into devising a
‘framework document’, setting out guidelines for dealing with
allegations of abuse. John Dolan said: ‘‘They [the authors of the
framework document] did not feel Rome was supporting them in dealing
with this issue ... they were meeting an onslaught of complaints, and
Rome was pulling any particular solid ground that they had from under
them’’.
The 1922 and 1962 Vatican instructions on dealing with allegations of
clerical child sex abuse demanded absolute secrecy in the conduct of
investigations. T he secrecy was so pervasive that, to some, it seemed
to demand that the complaint also be kept secret from the state
authorities.
Cannon 1341 states that the bishop is to ‘‘start a judicial
administrative procedure, for the imposition or the declaration of
penalties, only when he perceives that neither by fraternal correction
nor reproof, nor by any methods of pastoral care, can the scandal be
sufficiently repaired, justice restored, and the offender reformed’’.
The Murphy Commission notes: ‘‘This canon was interpreted to mean that
bishops are required to attempt to reform the abusers in the first
place." In Dublin, efforts were made to reform abusing priests by
sending them to therapeutic centres. But, according to the commission,
‘‘the archdiocese seems to have been reluctant to go beyond the reform
process, even when it was abundantly clear that the reform process had
failed’’.
But, more tellingly, the commission stated they ‘‘could find very
little evidence, particularly in the early decades of the commission’s
remit, of any attempt by church authorities to restore justice to the
victims’’.
I t says the question of harm to the victims never seemed to have been
considered by the archdiocese.
In considering whether a person is guilty of the ‘‘worst crime’’,
canon law states a person must have ‘‘deliberately’’ violated the
canon law. In considering the issue of guilt under canon law, the
Canon Law Society of Britain and Ireland has commented: ‘‘Among the
factors which may seriously diminish their imputability (guilt) in
such cases (cases of clerical child sexual abuse) is paedophilia ...
‘‘Those who have studied this matter in detail have concluded that
proven paedophiles are often subjected to urges and impulses which are
in effect beyond their control .. .because of the influence of
paedophilia (the abuser) may not be liable, by reason of at least
diminished immutability (guilt) to any canonical penalty or perhaps to
only a mild penalty, to a formal warning or reproof or to a penal
remedy."
The commission says it ‘‘finds it a matter of grave concern that,
under canon law, a serial child abuser might receive more favourable
treatment from the archdiocese or from Rome, by reason of the fact
that he was diagnosed as a paedophile’’.
What all this says is that the issue is not just a matter of
negligence or complicity in clerical child sexual abuse on the part of
individual bishops - it is the culture of the Catholic Church, a
culture shaped by the church authorities in Rome and transmitted and
refined in dioceses.
A culture that hides the Church’s own guidelines concerning what it
itself rhetorically said was the ‘‘worst crime’’; that caused the
Vatican authorities to pull the ground from priests who were trying to
draft guidelines on abuse; that prioritises the abusers over the
abused; that has been essentially indifferent to the harm caused to
abuse victims; that regards paedophiles as objects of sympathy and
compassion.
A few more episcopal resignations, with a presumption that these
settle the matter, is just a continuance of the culture of denial of
the Catholic Church’s institutional and cultural complicity in the
criminality of clerical child sexual abuse.
The Holy Roman and Apostolic Church is the problem.
LOL. I thought I was pointing out your tactics in your repeated
attempts to censor the ugly truth about pislam Ahmed.
Really, it's quite obvious you have no interest in the ongoing
persecution and murder of people of other faiths, women, gays being
carried
out in all islamic counties. WHat you're interested in is that such
facts are suppressed and/or censored.

Unfortunately there are worse fates for a country than tyrannical rule
of that sort. I suppose it depends who you are, but as a fanatical
anti-islamist you should know (though you don't because you are pig
ignorant).
Yes anyone who can see through your muslime pig lies must be
"pig-ignorant" eh Farid?
Not all people called Muslims share the same fundamentalist attitudes,
though you keep shouting stupidly that they do. The interests of the
west are best served by peace and conciliation. Zionist Jews though
see the whole of Islam as threatening them. therefore they may seek to
involve the whole of the west in a highly unpleasant crusade of hatred
against everything Islamic. This gives a sense of purpose to a number
of Jews, some of whom infest this newsgroup in one or more
personalities. It is destructive and futile.
In your case it is not particularly rational, more a form of
Tourettes. It obviously gives you a kick. Maybe Streicher got the
same sort of feeling when he wrote about the Jews in Der Sturmer.
Very interesting post. Thank you. It would appear from the foregoing
that Paedophilia is forgivable whilst homosexuality is punished with
eternal damnation! What a bunch of fucking hypocrites!
Lets not be silly. Iraq was invaded because of the lobbying and money
power of the neocon zionist movement.
Christianity had nothing to do with it, apart from being vaguely
misappropriated by a few politicians most christian groups were active
in resisting the war. The pope wasn't pushing for a war, the
luthernans, nor was the archishop of canterbury or the various
orthodox, syric christians leaders.
I doubt Bush said "God told me to do it"
Gee, I can't help but notice every muslime fuck country
on the face of this earth persecutes and/or murders people
of other faiths islamotard. So where are your mythical non-
fundamentalist
muslimes shitehead?
Duh, the holey koran is *very* specific in it's anti-semitic/anti-
judaic
bullshit Ahmed, perhaps because the muslime fucks are fond of
blaming the Jews for the death of their prophet of pedophilia.

Sure thing nazitard. Why don't you fuck off to Soddy Barbaria, Yemen,
Morocco, Syria, Libya or Egypt? You won't be bothered by Jews there
and the islamopigs share your love of the Jewish people.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me a country recently led by
a fundamentalist Christian has occupation armies numbering in the
hundreds of thousands rampaging in two Muslim countries on the other
side of the world. Can you name a Muslim country that is doing this to
Christian countries, or that has done it in the last 100 years?

Why do you restrict islamopig terrorism to "Christian" countries?
WHy don't we get to talk about what they did in Mumbai? Or
N. Africa? Or the Phillipines?
And according to Libertarian doctrine, Children have the same rights
as
adults. So if you have that right, then so does a child.
So under Libertiarian Ideology if a child and yo uwant to have sex,
then
it's just peachy.
Just as under Libertarian Ideology if a child wishes to leave their
parents they can do so at any time
Or just as a child can prostitute themselves since Prostitution is
protected commerce under Libertarian Ideology.
And that my little Shit Stick, is why the Libertarian Party is the
Pedophile Party.
