So you're gearing towards them being paedos then I gather.
I was talking about the hypocrites and you've somehow turned this round to make it a muslim problem, it is far from it.
The West Isn't InnocentBy Pierre Tristam.
The scene might seem entirely alien to Western eyes and ears. But let's not fool ourselves into hiding behind the comforts of stereotype. Nojoud's heartbreaking words reminded me of a passage in one of those quintessential American works, Erskine Caldwell's Tobacco Road--you know, the 1932 novel about wretchedly poor sharecroppers, and whose stage version was taken to court 36 times and banned in countless cities across the country on grounds of immorality (not inaccuracy).
The scene takes place early in the novel: "What Lov wanted to speak to Jeeter about now in particular was the way Pearl had of refusing to sleep with him." Jeter is Lov's father-in-law. Pearl is 12.
They had been married almost a year, and still she slept by herself, as she had done since the first. She slept by herself on a pallet on the floor, refusing even to let Lov kiss her or touch her in any way. [...] For the past few weeks Lov had been thinking about taking some plow-lines and tying Pearl in bed at night. He had tried everything that he could think of so far, except force, and he was still determined to make her act as he thought a wife should. [...] "Every time I want to have her around me, she runs off and won't come back when I call her. Now, what I say is, what in hell is the sense in me marrying a wife if I don't get none of the benefits."
Child marriage in the United States is officially illegal, but not always effectively so, although sensational exceptions to the law tend to divert attention from the more serious, prevalent problem: the sexual abuse of young boys and girls under their own roof, by the people they trust most--parents, siblings, relatives, neighbors, friends.
I note this, along with the Caldwell example, because it would be too convenient to take in the case of Nojoud and child rape (a more accurate term than child marriage) in Yemen or Bangladesh or India as something the more enlightened West has graduated from, when in reality the crime merely occurs in different, less public, less codified circumstances.
Wrong is wrong whoever it is.
Your statement above is on a par if I say' In the west the age consent for b*****r is 11/12 yrs old., that does'nt / should'nt make me think that everyone in the west is a b*****r should it?
The above people who are doing what they do,Thinking that they are getting away with it, are not gonna get away with the crimes they committ, they will be held accountable, maybe not in this life but one day they will.
Well some get caught in this life like the priests etc. I just hope they get punished severly as should the hypocrite muslims.
