Senior Saudi cleric OKs girls to marry


And, he declares that those who say otherwise, are wrong:

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – Saudi Arabia's most senior cleric was quoted Wednesday as saying it is permissible for 10-year-old girls to marry and those who think they're too young are doing the girls an injustice.

The mufti's comments showed the conservative clergy's opposition to a drive by Saudi rights groups, including government ones, to define the age of marriage and put an end to the phenomenon of child marriages.

"It is wrong to say it's not permitted to marry off girls who are 15 and younger," Sheik Abdul-Aziz Al Sheikh, the country's grand mufti, was quoted as saying.

"A female who is 10 or 12 is marriageable and those who think she's too young are wrong and are being unfair to her," he said during a Monday lecture, according to the pan-Arab Al-Hayat newspaper.

Sorry, I don't know what that means? Are you talking about "thighing"?

Islam is a "religion" run by men most of whom would be registered sex offenders in any civilized country.

Years ago, pre-9/11, there was a tv documentary that filmed the wedding of an adult Muslim man to a girl who looked to be about 11 years of age. It included the (mercifully) off-camera "deflowering" and hanging up in the window of the bloodstained sheets, and thjen this little prick of a "bridegroom" explaining how he went about raping this child who was filmed lying on the bed shocked and crying. It was just appalling and I can't even remember if it was presented as an expose of child marriage or as some sort of "multicultural" documentary.

mufa’khathat - literally translated, it means “placing between the thighs” which means placing the male member between the thighs of a child

Enjoy your sickness while you still can cockbags. Methinks ACTUAL MEN and WOMEN, when enough understand, will be putting a stop to it and slapping you down hard.

Anonymous,
You're angry with us because you DO want to have sex with children?

Is that it?

Pastorius,

I'm not sure what Anonymous is saying. His comment might be addressing Saudis. I hope its them who he's talking about and not us. I despise pedophilia.
