Religion of Peace update: Saudi cleric defends pedophilia

Posted 14 Jan 2009 in Islam, outrage, Religion of Peace update, Sharia

Hey, looks like the Saudis are getting uptight about the Islamic age of consent. Just last year, they were allowing marriages at 1 year of age and sex by 9.

RIYADH – Saudi Arabia’s senior-most cleric said girls as young as 10 years old can be married, local media reported on Wednesday.

The powerful Grand Mufti Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh said in a speech late on Monday that Islamic Sharia law allows the practice of pre-teen girls getting married, and that critics of the practice were doing the girls “an injustice,” reports said.

“We hear often in the media about the marriage of minors. We must know that Sharia law is not unjust for women,” the cleric is quoted as saying.

“If it is said that a woman below 15 cannot be married, that is wrong. If a girl exceeds 10 or 12 then she is eligible for marriage, and whoever thinks she is too young, then he or she is wrong and has done her an injustice.”

His comment came in the wake of several well-publicized cases of young girls being married to men sometimes old enough to be their great-grandfathers.

I suppose nobody should be shocked by official excuses like these, coming from those who follow a “prophet” who enjoyed sucking on the tongues of boys and girls (such as his 6-year-old bride, Aisha) as documented in the Musnad hadith #16245 and the Bukhari hadith, described as “the most authentic book after the Qur’an.”

No wonder Muslim apologists are pushing the UN to outlaw all criticism of Islam.

UPDATE: Regarding the assclown’s declaration that “Sharia law is not unjust for women”…

Women ‘banned’ from mosque road in Bangladesh town

Women in the Bangladesh town of Pirojpur are being physically prevented from walking down a road where a mosque is located, regional media said on Tuesday.

Graffiti on Bara Masjid Road in Mathbaria says “women are forbidden on this road” and a retired soldier and self-styled “cleric” – one Abdus Sattar – has been guarding the area with a stick for a month.

“There is a mosque on this road. Use of this road by women is najayez [illegal in Islam],” he said.

I wonder where he got that idea?

    [...] it appears that Bangladesh isn’t upholding all aspects of Sharia law as demonstrated by Saudi Arabia, where Muslims can more closely follow Muhammad’s example and legally marry ten-year-old [...]
