Free pass to Pedo's

“If they could only channel the hate that they have for homosexuals to pedophiles, these countries would be a utopia” – Fadi Al-Waheed.

Since Hamas brutally invaded Southern Israel in October 2023, there has been a ground swell of support for Muslim’s worldwide. The word ‘islamophobia’ has become the buzz word on the lips of every social justice warrior who has recreated their entire identities around the single conflict worldwide that involves Jews.

But I have one question. Why is everyone ignoring the pedophilia and violence that is not only rampant in the culture of Muslim majority countries, but it is validated by Islamic texts itself?

The Iraqi parliament has passed a law permitting children as young as nine to marry.¹ Under the new law, religious authorities have been given the power to decide on family affairs, including marriage, divorce and the care of children.

For Shia Muslims, which make up the majority in Iraq, the lowest age of marriage for girls will be nine years old.

Nine years old.

It abolishes a previous ban on the marriage of children under the age of 18 in place since the 1950s. Child marriage has been a longstanding issue in Iraq, where 28 per cent of girls were married before they turned 18.²

The legal marriage age for boys has also been reduced to 15. Why the huge disparity in age between girls and boys?

And lets be frank. These girls are not being married off to fifteen year old boys, they are being married off to adult men, often decades older than they are.

And Iraq is not alone. Unicef figures state that the world is home to currently 650 million married girls and women who were first married in childhood. The prevalence of child marriage varies within the region, from a high of one in three in Sudan and Yemen to a low of one in 50 in Tunisia. The common denominator amongst the problem countries are that they are Islamic.
