FUCKING MORON! That proves to me he doesn't care about civility, he doesn't want Islam to be insulted because maybe someone might blaspheme him.
Civility is not being free from being offended. Civility is what you do when you get offended.
I declare all day every day and every single day of the year and further more to be anti Islam day have fun criticizing the religion and its pedophile prophet.
Human rights are not my issue. But claims as ideas do not deserve blind value. But as far as Islam marrying off young girls would have existed in every polytheistic and monotheist religion in antiquity. The mortality rate was much higher then so the quicker a girl would give birth and the more they gave birth the more offspring the tribe would have.
Mary, not that she existed, but if she had she would have been married off between the age of 9 to 14 not far after her first period.
I am quite sure if you were to go back through the histories of Asia and the Orient you would find the same types of arrangements between families.
But Islam to me is the biggest trouble maker as far as politics. It does not help however that Christians and Jews no matter how much they claim to be different, cant understand that religion is what causes human divisions. It is, as I have said countless times, a comic book gap filling reflection of our group survival as a species.
