New in PJ Media:
Moral standards that people took for granted for centuries seem to be eroding everywhere. That is not just true only in the woke, decadent West, but all over the world, albeit for different reasons. While the West casts off every residual attachment to traditional morality, elsewhere in the world, old traditions are being reasserted. Yet while the traditions in question are strikingly different, the outcome is much the same.
The Jerusalem Post reported Monday that “A proposed amendment to Iraq’s Personal Status Law is causing controversy, especially among women’s rights supporters. The amended law would allow men to decide upon marriage whether to follow Sunni or Shiite family law and would give clerics unprecedented legal authority. Critics say it would deprive Shiite women of basic rights and even open the door to child marriage.” It’s good that the proposal is at least causing controversy, but the proponents of the amendment have strong support from traditionalist Muslims, who are thick on the ground in Iraq.
And not just in Iraq. The News Agency of Nigeria reported back in June 2021 that “the Chief Imam of the Nasrul-lahi-li Fathi Society of Nigeria (NASFAT), Abdul Azeez Onike, says Islam supports underage marriage.” Onike insisted that “Islamic scripture was clear about marriage” and called upon people to refer to Islamic texts “instead of using contemporary standards” to determine whether or not child marriage was an acceptable practice.
Onike is right: child marriage has abundant attestation in Islamic tradition and law. Numerous Islamic authorities worldwide attest to this. Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in Jan. 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry.
Ishaq Akintola, professor of Islamic Eschatology and Director of Muslim Rights Concern, Nigeria, has said, “Islam has no age barrier in marriage and Muslims have no apology for those who refuse to accept this.” An Iraqi expert on Islamic law, Dr. Abd Al-Hamid Al-‘Ubeidi, agrees, saying, “There is no minimum marriage age for either men or women in Islamic law. The law in many countries permits girls to marry only from the age of 18. This is arbitrary legislation, not Islamic law.”
So does Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent Muslim cleric and member of Saudi Arabia’s highest religious council: “There is no minimum age for marriage” and girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology has declared flatly: “Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.”
These authorities say these things because hadiths that Muslims consider authentic record that Muhammad’s favorite wife, Aisha, was six when Muhammad wedded her and nine when he consummated the marriage: “The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death)” (Bukhari 7.62.88). Muhammad was at this time fifty-four years old. Numerous other early Islamic traditions state the same thing.
There is more. Read the rest here.

Paedophilia has always been legal under Islam. After all, Mohammed was into it. Just waiting on them corroborating the Necrophilia as it’s stated in the Sharia Law Book: Reliance of the Traveller – Section “O”, Verse 12.3, page 610.
Tony Rice says
EVERYTHING Muhammad did is regarded as THE way to follow ( public urinals in Tehran have been removed as it is now believed the Prophet pee’d while sitting down ). Plus maybe necrophilia will soon
stated as acceptable, as long as within 8 hours of the death, as authorised by the main authority of Islam based in Egypt.
ConcernedReader says
In certain parts where the wife already died, imams gaves the ok for husbands to have sex with their deceased wife.
It was quite a shocking article, cant recall where i read it:(
Pray Hard says
Necrophilia is a big thing in islamoland.
Joe says
The Hadith has the Prophet giving BJs to his infant grandson. Will that become acceptable?
Ade Fegan says
Collectively we have more credibility and clout if we don’t exaggerate how bad islam is
Islam is plenty bad enough as it is without that
There’s no need … Just let THEM be the bad guys .. not us
Peter Buckingham says
We wouldn’t want rigor mortis to spoil all the fun would we?

It’s not legalizing underage marriage, it’s making children the victims of rape by slime old enough to be the child’s grandparent; and the child has no one to defend her or to keep her safe from this demon evil.
When the police are the bad guys, when the state’s attorneys are the bad guys, when the government is run by evil creatures, those in danger have no place to go for help.
In the U.S., slime have been given authority over little kids; taken from their parents’ authority so evil things can be done to them. In iraq, as in other mozlum ruined nations, little girls are sold by their parents and given over to slime for the purpose of evil abuse.
The ‘whole world is lying in the power of the wicked one.’

Well if I recall correctly in the year 2002, which was the year designated by the UN as the year to fight the world slave trade, after the Islamic Majlis (parliament) of Iran approved signing into the anti-slavery treaty the Council of Guardians overruled the Majlhd since Islamic law permits free Muslim citizens to trade in as well as own human chattel.
Troybeam says
Pedophilia is in every nation yet in Islam it is allowed leaving female children ruined for loss of virginity and boys damaged in other ways all because Mohammed married a child. Shame on Islam for the destruction of childhood by a pervert and mothers who allow FGM to be performed on their daughters because it will not protect the child in anyway.

Wow, what a coinkeedeenk! Isn’t it amazing that Western kissing moslem a** and the Western pedo agenda are being pushed world wide at the same time?
But, I’m sure that I’m just paranoid and imagining things.
Jim J says
I was thinking the same thing, esp. in relation to what’s happening in England now. Starmer has that creepy, pedo look about him, hence his defense of “innocent” Muslims over rightfully angry native Brits.
KoshsShadow says
Progress? No, but Progressivism, yes. “Progressives” seem to find nothing wrong with pedophiles, Or “minor-attracted persons”.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Yup, bringing democracy to Iraq was completely worth it!
Johanna Jahns says
Another common point between Lefties and Moslems.
Noah Andeark says
In unrelated news, IP** Cabbage Brain Biden just recited the shahada.
** Incestuous Pedophile
James Lincoln says
The left is even trying to protect pedophiles by claiming that sexual attraction to children is merely another “protected” form of “sexual orientation”.
Beyond disgusting.
It’s criminal.

I guess if the law and courts won’t protect our children us fathers and grand fathers will have too. And many of us have the military training on how to deal with an enemy. We also need to close the borders to people from islamic countries.
