Indonesia's Top Islamic Body Issues Fatwa Permitting Underage Girls to Marry, Have Sex Before Menstruation
From Weasel Zippers:
(Jakarta Globe)- Taking Islamic law as its guide, leading Muslim organization Nahdlatul Ulama on Friday issued a fatwa declaring underage marriage acceptable as long as the purpose of the union was to build a happy family.
“As long as the objectives of the marriage are positive, it is allowed,” Cholil said. “Mind you, we don’t encourage people just to get married to fulfill their desires, no,” he added.
Cholil Nafis, secretary of the committee for religious issues for this past week’s 32nd NU congress, said the gathering had agreed that there should be no age restrictions on marriage because sacred Islamic verses or regulations had not stipulated a minimum age.
“They can get married at any age, even girls who haven’t started menstruating,” he said. “And they can have intimate relationships and intercourse, as long as they are able.”
Cholil said Islamic law only suggested that marriages would be better after a woman had her first period.

Pastorius,
Yet more reason to fight these people.
This is nothing less than just another casual sign of the rise of Mohammedanism in the modern world.
Everywhere I look I see the Mohammedan faithful throwing off the positive restraints of Western (Christian) morality and embracing true Mohammedanism regardless of what the West thinks.
A sign of their self confidence and a confidence in their eventual victory over Dar al Harib.
Mohammedanism is on the offensive everywhere and any resistance is weak and especially unorganized at any large scale.
Imagine yourself in a Jihadists' shoes today and look around with satisfaction, kinda like being a Nazi in 1938.
