just like the Jew's and the Catholic's and all the rest of the religions of the world this is nothing new. Is there a point to this or is it to trash all Muslims.

I'll be sure to forward your concern to one of the victims.

Gotta agree with Sauron, looks like plain old vanilla muslim bashing.
No way can the west point the finger at Islam over this.

Excuse me! Sure there have been similar things happen in other religions, but they do not make it a point to rant and rave they are willing to die just so they can be with virgins do they?

Also allow me to point out we do not consider females as inferior or 2nd class citizens. You cannot say the same for the fanatic muslims can you?
Noitce I clearly stated FanaticI am well aware there are far more good muslims then bad. Too bad they will not stand up against the likes of Osama. Perhaps if they did, we would not have all this hatred coming out of the middle east, let alone Russia and other countries.

One can only blame this hatred on a select few. Can you explain why this is the case. Please be Sprecific.

"I can smell BS.!"-QOUTE.

Sad really.

you dont?? since when....

My intentions be what they may, I find it remarkable that the most notable aspect of this story is that it is "bashing" Muslims.

I have to ask:

Is it doubted that Muhammad was a caravan raider?
Is it doubted that Muhammad was a pedophile?
Is it doubted that Muslim clerics have been involved in widespread child molestation?

Or is it just that, in spite of all this, political correctness prevents some from acknowledging the glaring truth or for expressing any sympathy for the victims?

Truly pathetic.

I don't recall reading about Jesus having sex with anyone let alone a 9 year old girl.

He did have the habbit of shacking up with an entourage of males only.
Yet the good christians condemn that kind of behaviour :p

The reason it may be considered Muslim bashing is due to the title. You seem to have singled out Muslims, whether that be your intent or not. Maybe a title such as "Child abuse in religion" and then examples of it happening in nearly EVERY religion would have gotten a better discussion.

Just my opinion, nothing more.

Muslims seem to wish to live in the past as it was about 1,000 years ago, but with this molestation thing and the female circumcision thing they like to do, it sounds like they're trying to catch up with some of the more 'modern' religions.

Mmmm, if i looked, and quite frankly i cant be bothered this thread is just baiting, on google i could probably find a half dozen articles about Catholic priests molesting children. This is not a Muslim thing but an act of individual evil. Do we say that the entire Christian/Catholic religion is evil because of a few evil men? Of course not, so why do you (the author of this tread ) insist on painting the Muslim religion with this rather disgusting brush.
You need to take a look at your motives my friend, hatred is an ugly emotion and does not lead to constructive discussion.

If you have something by all means share it but this is scraping the barrel a bit don't you think?
