More Saudi Nonsense

Off Topic Politics & World Issues
1

I don’t know if PRCalDude has posted this story already, but it caught my eye and turned my stomach.

A Saudi judge has refused to annul the marriage of a 47-year-old man and an 8-year-old girl, despite the pleas of the girl’s mother. The father basically sold the girl to pay off his debts, after obtaining the old dude’s promise that he would wait to have sex with the girl until she hits puberty. (Uh huh. Suuuuure he will.)

Aisha was seven when Muhammad, already in his fifties, married her, and the marriage was supposedly consummated when she was nine. So it can be said that the 47-year-old is emulating the Prophet. This, supposedly, makes it all right.

Let this thread serve as evidence to counter PRC’s claim that I always defend and never condemn the actions of Muslims, or Islam in general.

Well, I hereby state that the judge’s decision, the father’s actions, the culture that permits them, and the religious precedent used to justify them, are all indefensible, and I roundly condemn them.

I don’t believe that any god worth worshipping would condone the tearing to pieces of a little girl’s hymen by the penis of a man six times her age, and that anyone who believes otherwise is dreadfully mistaken in his belief.

I think that Sheikh Habib Al-Habib (the judge), Sheikh Abdul Aziz Al-Sheikh (the Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia, who decreed that ten years old is plenty old enough for a girl to marry), are despicable human beings, and that every Muslim who subscribes to their perverted Wahhabi venom is guilty of terminal cancer of the soul.

And I think that curtseying in front of the sweaty fat rulers of these vermicious jackals, kissing their rings, and prancing around holding hands with them in the Rose Garden, is disgusting behavior unbecoming of any American, let alone the President of the United States.

And as for PRCalDude, I hope he accepts this condemnation in the spirit it was intended, even if it isn’t quite up to his standards.

Where are the defenders of Islam now?

Forced marriage was ruled out as being illegal (yes Varq, by that same Abdul Aziz al-Sheikh!), and it is a punishable offense.

This issue transcends marriage. It’s really about the age at which the state emancipates children. Of no less importance, is the fact that the judiciary is an extension of the political authority in the country.

Besides, what kind of a dumbass judge throws out a case like this, arguing a technicality? From the article:

The judge ruled the girl’s mother – who is separated from the girl’s father – was not the girl’s legal guardian and therefore could not represent her in court, according to Abdullah al-Jutaili, the mother’s lawyer.

It’s the girl’s mother for crying out loud!

Anyway, I join Varq in denouncing this mess. I’m convinced there’s a special place in Hell for the girl’s father and her husband.

Sounds like a union founded in love mates. Fucking camel jockeys. Should have put a puppet in there when we had the chance.

Where are the defenders of libertarianism?

I met an Israeli business grad student on campus recently who explained to me that parents should be free to sell their children to pay off debts, and government has no right to deprive parents of this option.

This is relevant how? Was this student a supporter of Israel? Or was he another left wing whack job who is sympathetic to radical islam?

Grad student means nothing. We have a lot of left wing weirdos in this country. There are a whole host of human right’s violations by so called clerics in these goofy countries. And we are supposed to buy that it is a religion of peace.

So far I have not seen a single Catholic, Lutheran, Methodist, Jewish, or Episcopalean suicide bomber. I have seen no white southern NRA member fly a plane into an Arab building.

I had a thread a few years back saying that all Muslims are nuts. They think differently than those of us in the West. Our society is based mostly on mathematics, logic, and science, while theirs is based on a book written by and for tribesmen wandering in a desert.

I imagine the Greeks and Romans were saying that exact same thing about the Jews 2000 years ago.

Funny old world, ain’t it?
