Keep waving the Palestian flag! http://www.middle-east-info.org/gateway/womenchildabuse/#pedophilia Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Khomeini's Religious Teachings on Marriage, Divorce and Relationships (Parvin Darabi, USA-based Dr. Homa Darabi Foundation website, Jun 10, 2006: "A man can marry a girl younger than nine years of age, even if the girl is still a baby being breastfed. A man, however is prohibited from having intercourse with a girl younger than nine, other sexual act such as forplay, rubbing, kissing and sodomy is allowed. A man having intercourse with a girl younger than nine years of age has not comitted a crime, but only an infraction, if the girl is not permanently damaged. If the girl, however, is permanently damaged, the man must provide for her all her life. But this girl will not count as one of the man's four permanent wives. He also is not permitted to marry the girl's sister." http://www.mererhetoric.com/archives/11273039.html The growth of political Islam in the Gaza Strip turns out to be somewhat less than progressive: A hitherto unknown group calling itself the Just Swords of Islam issued a warning to Palestinian women in the Gaza Strip over the weekend that they must wear the hijab or face being targeted by the group's members... The warning was directed primarily against female students in a number of universities and colleges who do not cover their heads in line with Islamic tradition. The group said its followers last week threw acid at the face of a young woman who was dressed "immodestly" in the center of Gaza City... Addressing female students, the group said: "We will have no mercy on any woman who violates the traditions of Islam and who also hang out in Internet cafes." According to the group, its members used rocket-propelled grenades to attack 12 Internet cafes and a number of music shops in different parts of the Gaza Strip. WHERE DO YOU SEE A PALESTINIAN FLAG ANYWAY? The Politics,current news and events forum is saturated with the war with Israel.The majority of people who have been posting in here are defending the Hamas and the Palestinians.I find it funny you are outraged by this girl being sold yet you defend the Palestinians where marriage is legal at 9.Where is the outrage with the Palestinians?Are we not talking about underage marriage?I do not think this is off topic. |

Oh GOD don't bring that crap topic in here. I'm tired of hearing about it on the boards already. Why can't they just blow each other up and be done with it? In a world full of news thats all many people have focused on, meanwhile there are hundreds of cats trapped in things that are being rescued, little girls being sold for marriage over beer, and an insane amount of conspiracy theories, and least we forget the Ron Paul nut jobs that saturate the current events.

Ever been kicked by a horse or cow?
Or a water buffalo? The larger animals require a bit more land for grazing. I am telling you, goats are the way to go. And in deference to the off topic; goats are Kosher and acceptable food for Muslims too. |

Another chicken! Hi White, Welcome to Mingle.

The idea of marrying for love and the freedom to do so is actually a fairly recent development. All over the world women are treated as chattel and exchanged for favors, goods and social position.
There's nothing new or even shocking about it. Do I find it offensive and sad...sure...but change comes slow. How do you change things? Maybe one important step is to educate young women. To nurture their self worth as thinking, valuable and independent human beings. We also need to do the same for our young men. Teach them to respect the women in their lives. Then maybe things will change. Oh and didn't you get the memo? If you embrace certain political positions you are allowed to bait and insult without consequence? |

I come from the land of hill billys, and even that makes me sick. We can marry cousins, but selling your children is insane o_O This dude was no hillbilly... A hillbilly would not have called the police.. He would have just gone and got his daughter back... |
