The Book of Marriage (Kitab Al-Nikah)

Book 008, Number 3310:

"'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may
peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was
admitted to his house when I was nine years old."

Well, Milton, hate to burst your little bubble but you ought to read
Jewish law. Says that girls as yopung as 3 are marriageable because at
that age, their virginity can be guaranteed. Do Jewish people marry
off their daughters at that age? No. You need to consider that thing
were different then. Lots of religions have things in them that we
consider weird or perverted. In ancient Ireland, the king had to mate
with a white mare. That's pretty weird too me, but I don't go out
condemning Irish people for it. So why don't you take your sick,
racist little peabrain elsewhere, eh?

Do you or do you not approve of child molestation? Islam's founder
and central figure did.

Do you or do you not approve of misogyny? The vast majority of
Islam's followers and countless passages in the Koran do.

That's simply not true. The majority, the commoners in the streets,
share these "extreme" views and often act on them.

> Remember, there are a lot of good Moslems out there too.

There are? Do they approve of the Koran? Do they revere Muhammed?

The politicians paraded "Muslim-American" [sic] leaders in front of
the cameras. We heard lots of preaching about "Islam is a religion of
peace." It turns out, more than one of them was praising the
terrorist group Hamas weeks before.

So, do you consider Hamas to be terrorists because they consider all
Israelis who are in illegal occupation of their homeland (the 'Occupied
Territories') to be targets?

If the US had been conquered by Soviet forces, would you consider colonists
from the USSR to be legitimate targets?

Greetings,

To the other newsgroups listed on this message from Milton we need to go
over some basic information. As listed on the Nikzor site, Milton is a
failed Nazi, not because he decided to turn against racism, fear, and hate,
basically he just wore out his welcome.

http://www.nizkor.org/hweb/people/k/kleim-milton/

Do not bite on his claims to be a heathen or a pagan. He and others are
looking to use the current situation to spread fear and hate. He is no more
a heathen or a pagan than the chair you are sitting on.

He is not a representative of the Asatru community. He is not what it is to
be a Heathen or a Pagan. It is unfortunate that he is chosen to add your
newsgroups to his messages of fear and hate. This person should be
considered an Utlander (outsider) to our communities. Please do not respond
to his posts.


May the gods walk with us

Such traditions that are out of date and outside of ethical behavior
need to be shit-canned.

BTW, we're not talking about Jewish law. We're talking about the
driving totalitarian ideology of the Enemy, Islam.

Weird is ok. Perverted is ok, if it doesn't hurt anyone else, and
it's not shoved in my face.

Let's say that what you say is a correct interpretation of that
legend. Are you going to try to say molesting a little girl is its
equivalent? I think not. The horse can defend itself.

Sorry you don't like dealing with inconvenient facts.

As a Euro-Heathen of the Asatru, Druid, and Romuvan traditions, I plan

As the step-father of a survivor of molestation, I will by gods
most certainly be "judgmental" about such horrors.

Do you approve of child molestation? Do you stand by when wrongdoing
happens and do nothing, say nothing?

"Fundamentalist"? What exactly does that mean?

What Milton Kleim has done is a very common mistake, you take a time period
(any one will do) and you interpret that way those folk lived their lives in
accord with todays' moral and ethical standards.

So Mr Kleim is angry because Muhammad married a 6 year old, he does not seem
to understand that that was accaeptable THEN, do Muslims marry 6 year olds
today?, times change, people change, as do their standards of what is
considered ethical behaviour.

Do I blame the Greeks because a Greek state (Sparta) used to expose any
children who were considered to be not "normal" to the elements and wild
animals? Do I blame modern Maori because some of their ancestors ate other
people?

If i am not willing to do this, why should I consider Muhammad a child
abuser for acting according to the ethical standards of his matrix. If he
was alive NOW, it might well be a very different matter, but he is not!

However, I have noted the Mr Kleim seemingly hates anything he cannot
understand, so I expect to have what I have written fall on deaf ears.

Okay, I'm a little rusty in the Koran, so could someone in the know please
point me toward the passages about the child molestation. It's not that I
want to drag this out, I just want to see it for myself.

And I just feel the need to remind that there are two main branches of
Islam, the Sunni and the Shi'ite. The Sunni are vast majority (over 90%)
and deplore violence.

I'm sure as a group, we respect the idea that child molestation is evil,
wrong, and should not be tolerated, but like RedBear said, life was very
different back then.

Now I can't control what you say, how you say, or even where you say it. I
only ask one thing: If you quote a major published work, please include
where you found it. I'm sure we would all like to have complete context.

Gildas Cambrensis, quoting an Irish informant. The people concerned were a
northern branch of the Ui Niall, I believe. It shows marked parallels with
the archaic Vedic ritual where a queen ritually mated with a stallion.

Sorry, it has been many years since I read that. It was in a book
about child abuse and they did cite where it was found, but my brain
is foggy on that part. My point was that what was acceptable then, is
not acceptable now. To judge by todays standards does not always
work...

No, I don't agree with cannibalism, and any modern cannibals SHOULD be
shot.

I find it amusing that you use the Neanderthal analogy as a followup
to the discussion of the pedophile Muhammed's six-year wife.

Like Neanderthal behavior, civilized people also shit-can "religions"

We are not the aggressor/perpetrator.

If a murderer comes to kill your family, do you sit idly by because in
your twisted mind to kill him would be "murder"?

Islam has declared war on America and our Way of Life, and once we
recognize that Islam believes we are at war with it, even if our
leaders claim we're not, it will be better for everyone.

The last technical article I read on the subject stated there is
absolutely no discernable genetic evidence to support the
belief that any groups of Homo sapiens bred with Neanderthals
and prospered (though individual instances may have taken place).
Homo sapiens are genetically 100% Homo sapiens.

Interpreting ancient bones is a tricky field. We have no idea
exactly why they did what they did. they might have been using
the marrow as a paint base. There is a big brouhaha in the southwest
USA over a recent declaration by an anthropologist who made
headlines by stating that the Anastazi (sp?) were cannibals. He based
his conclusions on bone marks and such.

Care must be taken when making such declarations as exhumation,
de-fleshing, mummification and various other funerary rites were common
among the ancients.

Who are you trying to prove this to?
Have I missed something?

Last I heard the neanderthals dissappeared by breeding with
homosapiens. Perhaps that strain of homosapien was weak and died off.
Who have they tested to prove there is no neanderthal in the human

Man, this is such an old saw though it's been a while since the last
time I heard it used to promote religious intolerance. You want to
paint him that way, as a pedophile, you have to start making a very
long list of names to add to the list of those similarly described.
He married her, which says nothing about consumating (maybe that was
when she was 9). That's the first thing. Second, it was common
practice to marry children that young. It was done right into the
middle ages. Arthur married Katherine of Aragon while they were both
children, so did Mary Stuart marry Francis-the Dauphin of France. All
that Braveheart romance between Edward II's wife and Wallace? Never
Happend, she was round about the ago of a toddler then, though I
haven't checked exactly how old she was.
Item three, girls matured earlier in those days. It's quite possible
she could have begun her menses at 9. Making her a "woman"

From what I've read, there are two different answers. One study compared
Neanderthal DNA to several groups of modern humans, and determined
statistically that the matches ruled out interbreeding. A completely
different study looked at some fossils of early humans (might have been
Aurignacian, but I don't remember) in SW Europe, and determined that
they indicated many generations of interbreeding.

Who knows? They might both be right. The Neanderthal connection may be
only to a few groups of modern humans, or maybe that line died out long
ago. We don't know if they were really a separate species, or if they
were just a distinct race of humans.

those are highly religious POLITICAL groups .... its not the ENTIRETY of
islam, you dullard. If a bunch of Catholics get together and attack a bunch

I recently saw a great TV program on the Discovery Channel (or was it
History Channel?) about Neanderthal man. According to the
archaeologists, anthropologists and sociologists involved in the
program, Neandertal and the forefathers of modern man (Was it
Australiopithicus? is that it? My memory fails me) co-existed for quite
some time after their slightly more-enlightened cousins crossed the land
bridges to other continents.

Apparently, according to this well made program, they did occasionaly
skirmish, but for the most part, they left each other alone. Eventually,
because these strangers were more adaptable than the Neanderthal man
(more skilled with tools, weaponsmithing, and communicating ideas) they
outlasted the neanderthal through natural selection (and probably made
for tough competition for food).

While Neandrthal is considered by many to be a less-evolved version of a
modern human, in recent years, authorities have concluded that they were
more advanced than previously believed, having learned to make fire,
ritual burials for the dead, as well as specialized toolmaking skills
that were previously undiscovered.

However, their competition had the ability to improvise far more, thus
improving the existing abilities of their forebearers with each
generation. Apparently, Neanderthal wasn't as good as that, but
excavation of sites turn up neanderthal-made relics that seemed to copy
skills of the other tribes of man in that day. Were they beginning to
learn? maybe they were as we say today "a bit slow", but who knows how
far they could've gone if strangers never came to their land. Maybe the
new presence forced them to adapt; we may never know for sure.

Even today, different types of people have problems getting along, so it
wouldn't suprise me in the least if another culture killed them off out
of spite, but from the evidence at hand, they apparently co-existed with
some aprehension. They may have even crossbred, but more likely, the
tribe mentalities of those involved back then may have discouraged this,
but hey, anything is possible.

Anybody got a time machine so we can find out what really happened? if
so, let me know because I for one would be curious about what really
happened =P

As for Neanderthal being an early form of man, The jury is still out on
that. Any being (or animal) with at low as a 7% variance from the human
genome is considered a different species. It's a matter of whether
people still consider Neanderthal man Homo Erectus or Homo Sapiens.
needless to say, the remains we have found to date provide no DNA
evidence to confirm or deny the fact as to wheter or not they were
directly related to us (bones that old are petrified; all biological

I could be wrong, but I don't remember Australopithecus existing at the
same time as Neanderthal Man. If memory serves, I believe that Homo
Erectus was the guilty party (well, that and Filet Magnon man).

I saw that one. As I recall one of the biggest problem, in that
interpretation, was their conservatism. The evidence seems
to suggest they lived in the same caves, stayed to the same
hunting ranges, ate the same foods, and used the same tools
for a tens of thousand years, while the competing species
(humans) got out more (wanderlust), took culinary risks, and
showed remarkable advances in their tools and other materials
over a similar period (probably because they got out more).

IIRC the most recent Neanderthal find was as little as 25,000
years ago - so they certainly co-existed with modern humans
for a long period.

The genetic evidence seems to suggest there were no lines that
interbred and prospered. Which is not the same as saying it
never happened.

I was wondering what the point of posting this in ARW anyway?
There was no arguement going on...no one questioned neanderthals
disappearance or anything.

It started with some Clueless Git mouthing off about how he was a
misspelled Neanderthal. Didn't get much argument on it, either.

This may be a NG first, when a CG thread becomes an intelligent
discussion.

Anyway, to keep it going...

I have a 1996 book on Paleolithic art that lists Neanderthals (H.
sapiens neanderthalensis) and Cro-Magnons (H. sapiens sapiens)as
overlapping between 35,000 and 40,000 years ago, during the
Chatelperronian period. By then, Neanderthal technology was fairly
sophisticated, and used stone blades (like the Cro-Magnons.) However,
although the Neanderthals did perform ritual burials and were able to
shape stone pretty well, they never developed figurative art.

I think it's fascinating that the start of "modern" humans meant the
beginning of art and music. (Ok, maybe bone flutes aren't your style,
but they count.) Especially since we know that other species, from
chimpanzees to crows, use tools, it's nice to know there is really
something that is truly human. And that something is the creating of
beauty.

Oh, my question wasn't about the validity of the topic or something such. I
am always curious when people discuss things that can not be altered or
duplicated. Like Neanderthals or dinosaurs, or even the big bang theory..

Some history needs to be learned, IMO, and I know there are people that
enjoy all history immensely. I just wondered why...

Why should we study the ways of other people?

Usually people study other people so that they can improve how they
themselves live or survive. One does not have to make a mistake personally
to learn from the mistakes of others (or for that matter from their
successes). That's part of the worth of studying anything.

Ahh, I forgot the cro mags.
That is who I thought interbred with the neanderthals.
Hw do you pronounce neanderthal? Brittish programming in the US
pronounces the last syllable as 'tal' and in the US we say 'thal'.

Yes, the use of tools shows intelligence, but implementing them for
purely creative purposes is a highly specialized trait.

I learn because I believe it is useful to know.
Actually, I find topics like the big bang/dinosaurs and such less
interesting only because it is mostly speculation.
If actual facts are discovered then the topic becomes a fascination.
It is like worrying...it doesn't change anything. So I don't worry.

No.
School etc is about learning how to learn.
The fact that some of the examples given for practice come in handy later eg
reading and writing, is beside the main point.

If you don't know how to learn, you're a dead end in modern society.

You're saying it's okay for 56 year old men to have sex with 9 year olds.
Just
wanted to make that clear. I disagree. I am really struck by the number of
Americans who want complete tolerance (based on religion) (but not in their
own countries - where, if it were THEIR nine year old girl, they'd be really
upset).

Arthur married Katherine of Aragon?????? No he didn't. Arthur (if he
existed)
lived at least 400 years earlier than Katherine of Aragon (who married Henry
VIII).
When did they consummate, by the way? If I recall correctly, she was 19
when she
made the journey to England.

This is complete bullshit. As an anthropologist and college professor who
specializing in the biology of human beings, and has taught for 13 years in
the
field, I can assure it it's QUITE THE OPPOSITE. It's not uncommon (still)
for women to reach menarche 17-18 in places that we would in the West call
"undeveloped." There are many theories on why. The best are coming from a
woman physician at Harvard, who has twice been nominated for the Nobel prize
in biology. Take some biology and history. You're completely wrong.

I haven't been following this thread, but unless there is some other place
where such a claim was made, I believe you are jumping to rather absurd
conclusions about the intent of Deb's words. I must say it seems to me you
are really reaching for something to hold against modern Islam. I have to
question your motives in this. What someone _may_ have done 1500 years ago
seems fairly irrelevant to the current state of affairs unless you can
demonstrate his followers agree with and condone your interpretation of
what happened.

Well, that does contradict what I've read regarding the reproductive
biology of populations living under marginal conditions. I can't give you
any exact citations, it's been a decade or more since I read that, but I
feel confident it was from a reputable source - perhaps Worldwatch.

Sounds like the Roman Army. I wonder what the Pope thinks of your

I am saying nothing of the kind. I did say that in those days, it
wasn't the same taboo it is now. NOTHING ELSE. There's this little
facet of studying history, it's called "presentism". What it
essentially comes down to is judging acts of history by the standards
we apply to behavior today. Calling Mohammed a pedophile, if he
consumated the marriage with a child that young is sure as hell
presentism. It was NOT unusual to do the early marriage thing, well
past the time of Mohammed. John Knox married a girl fairly young,
though I think she was in her teens. I'm not sure but I suspect he
was older than 56 too. Though that was pretty old in those days, when
life expectancy wasn't so great.

In those days, it would be the girl's parents who arranged the
marriage, which kind of speaks to how things were viewed then and now.
Old men married young girls regularly. Young people were sometimes
married to each other and they were too young to consumate their
marriage. Prince Arthur did or didn't consumate his marriage to
Catherine of Aragon. She was about the same age as Arthur, but older
than Henry when she married him. If he didn't, some of the
speculation went to his being to young to do so, and dying before he
was old enough to. It is highly doubtful that Francis consumated his
marriage to Mary Stuart either, and she was older than him. Though
his lack of ability may have something to do with things other than
just his youth, at least according to Antonia Fraser.

I said Prince Arther, which would apparently seem to be above your
head. More than one dog named Pluto and all that. Arthur Tudor was
the Henry Tudor's older brother, and heir to the throne of England.
He died before his father did even, but it sure as hell wasn't 400
years before that. In 1501, she was 16. Arthur died in 1502, shortly
after his marriage to Katherine. She always claimed, and I believe
her, that they never consumated their marriage. It just became
convenient for Henry to claim so when he wore her out and she was past
childbearing, and he lusted for Ann Boleyn.
Till then, Henry was a devout man. He wouldn't have married her if
they had cosnumated, least I don't think so. He got the papal
dispensation and iirc it was based on the assertion that it wasn't
consumated.

That's open to debate, and I took anthropolgoy too. AS an
anthropolgist, you should know that there are different types of
anthropology, i.e cultural and physical. I have read in reputable
historical texts that women matured earlier then, in part based on the
life span being shorter. I'm not going to argue with you, because the
bottom line is that it was acceptable culturally then, whether a woman
was a girl or a woman in the true sense of the word.

It's not uncommon (still)

I'm not as wrong as you seem to be, with Prince Arthur being dead 400
years. I will look for the reference, and until I find it, agree to
disagree. Except to say that you can't make such a rigid claim. You
have had access to an actual individual woman of that era, you know
this for a scientific fact based on what exactly?

While we're at it, since your so hot to condemn me and the notion that
it was socially acceptable then, how bout all those Royals of Europe?
All the incest? Nobody finds that acceptable today, yet it was done
then, and the consequences of it were pretty obvious. My saying that
it was acceptable then, does that mean I'm for incest now? I think
not. You're a sorry anthropolgist if you're unable to see that what
might be unacceptable now could have been an acceptable norm then.

You know, I'm reading all this back and forth huffing and puffing. Let
me tell you what I think. First, one passage is being taken out of
context for the sake of an argument and for someone to rant publicly
rather than deal with their person issues. That's always easier. Look,
if you were a victim of molestation, for your benefit and the benefit
of others around you, please get some help to deal with that terrible
experience rather than taking out on the world. Second, I don't
believe by your rantings that you are an anthropologist. Of course on
the internet you can be anybody. Thirdly, life spans were shorter then
and arranged marriages were common. Can you imagine being considered
an adult at the age of thirteen? You are taking one tiny piece of the
text and the time period and pulling it out of context for the sake of
ranting about your personal issues that you were apparently not
dealing with. Just because a young girl was married to him at age six
does not mean they were schtupping or even cohabitating at that point.
In any case, please get some counseling for your own sake and leave
your issues out of public, intelectual debates. People will respect
you more.

cheers,

Lets compare with Christianity. Throughout the Middle Ages, Cannon Law (The Roman Catholic Church dictate and
generally the law of Western Europe) prohibited marriage of girls less than 7 years old. Before you condemn those
of other cultures in previous centuries it is wise to look at your own history. A bride of 9 years would have
been relatively common and certainly not illegal or ever raise an eyebrow in most of Western Europe at the same
time.

Whatever you think of Islam, the "child bride" of Mohammed was in keeping with very wide spread custom of his
time. Most Americans today would be upset with the marriage of a 9yo girl, but their own European ancestors of
the Middle Ages probably married that young and thought nothing of it. After all, Christian moral law of the time
allowed European girls to marry after age 7. I doubt if European pagan morals were any different for age to
marry in those centuries.

As a history teacher, let me recite a quotation that I am sure many of
us have heard. Not sure who said it first, but I have heard it
attributed to Robert E. Lee, George Washington, and even Vergil, among
others.

"Those who are ignorant of history are dommed to repeat it."

Come to think of it, most of the folks who DO repeat it have studied it
thoroughly enough to get their sick and twisted ideas :)

Okay, guys..here is the first entry in Josh's revised Quotations:

"Those who have learned history with the wrong mindset are REALLY
FUCKING DANGEROUS!!" ;)


Just my daily rant,

May I ask, how could this bit of history be repeated? Are you hiding
Neanderthals in your pocket?

I do agree, thoroughly. They are like people who don't learn from their
mistakes.

My parrot just got down from her cage, walked over, got herself a
piece of one of my orchids (a dendrobium), climbed back on top of her
cage and proceeded to eat the orchid!
DANG!
Silly parrot!!

Nah, I keep 'em on a chain in the front yard. They help ward off evil
Christians :) It must be all those Satanic cave-drawings.

Of course I have.
But that doesn't mean I can't be like everyone else and slam someone
for the same mistakes I've made.
Besides...I thought being dommed was funny. Think about it!

Personally, I like domming _others_, but I can definitely see how it
would be fun being dommed. Have you ever considered being dommed by
Neanderthals? :)

Yes, but they are so elusive.
Went searching for Big Foot once. That didn't work either.
