New in PJ Media:
Whatever turns out to be the real story of the shootings at the Islamic Center of San Diego, one thing is certain: the leftist media and advocacy groups such as the Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) will invoke it incessantly in order to try to silence those of us who oppose the violence, intolerance, aggression, and supremacism that Islam sanctions and sanctifies.
For years, the left and Islamic groups have used violence against innocent Muslims, real and imagined, to claim that honest discussion of the motivating ideology behind jihad terror was what led to such violence. The left’s false claim that speech it opposes leads inexorably to violence has been weaponized to prevent the truth about the violent and oppressive aspects of Islam from reaching the public. Over the years, the establishment media has internalized the idea that one of its most important jobs is to ensure that no one thinks ill about Islam. This was clear anew in a story about the Taliban’s new law allowing child marriage.
The news item was straightforward. The UK’s GB News reported Friday that “the Taliban have formally recognised child marriage under their Islamic system.” It added that “almost a third of Afghan girls are married before they are 18-years-old.”
This is all based strictly upon the Qur’an and Islamic tradition, which records that Muhammad, whose example is to be followed in all things, consummated his marriage with (i.e., raped) his child bride Aisha when she was nine: “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).
As a result, child marriage and the sexualization of children are taken for granted in wide swaths of the Islamic world. In Jan. 2025, the Associated Press reported that Iraq’s parliament “passed three divisive laws Tuesday, including amendments to the country’s personal status law that opponents say would in effect legalize child marriage.” Some “Shiite lawmakers” said this would “align” the personal status law with “Islamic principles.”
Turkey’s directorate of religious affairs (Diyanet) said in Jan. 2018 that under Islamic law, girls as young as nine can marry. In Saudi Arabia, Dr. Salih bin Fawzan, a prominent Muslim cleric and member of the country’s highest religious council, has said that there is no minimum age for marriage, and that girls can be married “even if they are in the cradle.” Pakistan’s Council of Islamic Ideology agrees, stating flatly: “Islam does not forbid marriage of young children.”
There is more. Read the rest here.

Anyone notice there are no child grooms?
Women in fundamentalist Islam are but posessions, home slaves and baby factories for Muslim men, groomed from toddlerhood to know their place and duty. The re-emphasis on the “legitimacy” of female child brides is a response to Muslim women becoming aware of their actual position relative to other women of the world – marry them before they are aware and ground them with an “anchor” baby. Grotesque in thought yet real in practice.
Compliant Muslim women are the key to Islam’s survival. There is a reason why the beating of rebellious wives is permitted by Quran 4:34
The women of Islam are 1400 years of living proof that feminism is a structure that can only exist in societies where women have relative independence. Making Muslimas dependent is intentional.
Still heard in Pakistan: “Just stay home; driving is not your job, it’s a man’s job!”
Islam is bad says
There may not be child grooms; but there are male children who are groomed, as well as girls.
The bacha bazi practice of adult men in Afghanistan and Turkestan, who exploit adolescent boys, sometimes for sexual abuse, and/or by coercing them to cross-dress in female clothes and dance for entertainment, is such an example.
Sura 56 of the Quran notes that in the in the Gardens of Pleasure there will not only be fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes, but also immortal boys serving food and drink, suggesting Muslim men value young boys serving them.
Westman says
The worst part of being a child (vildan) in paradise would be the forever nature of servitude which is essentially, slavery. Some “scholars” have guessed that they are the children of infidels, who never became adults, but it is pure speculation. The “scholars” are hampered in discovering the origin of the children by the generally accepted declaration that there is no procreation in Jannah.
This whole idea of a carnal “pleasure” paradise was to offer a reward for which Muslim men would serve the military or be martyrs. It is definitely the reward of a young man’s lustful appetite, a woman’s nightmare, and therefore is a fabrication to raise the armies of Islamic conquest.
Again, compliant Muslimas are the backbone of Islam. I could be wrong, yet think that the immigration to the West will eventually be as detrimental to Islam as it is to the West as the Muslimas find their way out.

Islam, the religion of suicide experts.

Islam is a filthy, scum-ridden religion.

muzzies take their little children to the back rooms, rape and abuse them in every way, teaching the little boys to abuse their sisters, their mothers and someday, their wives. Teaching the little girls that they have no rights and their duty is to satisfy every lustful desire of their fathers, brothers and filthy males who will pay ahigh price for the opportunity of daily raping the little girl.
And then when the Israelis have to fight for their lives, the muzzies trot out the photos of little children with wailing mothers/fathers holding the dead bodies of the little ones who supposedly were raped and murdered by the Jews.
The lives of the children, the welfare of the children, mean nothing in islime. The children are war fodder. and for satisfying the carnal lusts of the old, stinky, perverted males who worship a demon snake.

All too true, Somehistory.

Anyone with an IQ low enough to ignore the nearly 50 THOUSAND jihad terror attacks since 9/11 just because a couple confused Hispanics shot up a mosque should not be taken seriously.
It doesn’t matter what the motivation was, they’ll still blame free speech and earnest criticism of Islam because they’re not being honest…they’re being PROPAGANDISTS.
This mosque was SPECIFICALLY known for their support of the 9/11 terrorists, the Muslim Brotherhood, and the October 7th massacre in Israel. Three dead Muslims will NEVER erase that.
Nobody cares about your fake Virtue-signaling anymore. Islam doesn’t belong in America or any Western/Anglosphere nation. If you don’t want people to retaliate for the atrocities committed by Muslims and supported by the VAST MAJORITY of the ummah, then go back to one of the 40+ muslim-majority countries in the world.
The same could be said for the HISPANIC terrorists who carried out this attack. If they actually had some BALLS, they would have targeted ACTUAL terrorists, not terror-supporting Muslims. Imho, these Hispanics should go back to one of the DOZENS of Hispanic-majority countries. We don’t need these third-world problems in America or anywhere else in the West. We have enough problems of our own without importing millions of foreigners with their foreign problems and their foreign ethnic conflicts.
REMIGRATION NOW!!!
