Racist Cult Leader Warren Jeffs Convicted of Raping Child Brides
Jeffs presided over a religious empire as both president and prophet of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (FLDS)
The survey found child marriage or forced marriage, or both, in families of many faiths, including Muslim, Christian (particularly Catholic), Hindu, Buddhist and Sikh. I have seen child and forced marriage in the Orthodox Jewish community, and I know survivors from Mormon and Unification Church backgrounds.
www.nytimes.com...
Is the plan to cite extreme examples and smear entire faiths?
Is it possible to disagree with Child Marriage without screaming about Islam?
I don't think it's off the mark. Most terrorism is committed in the name of Islam. Most backwards countries that hold women back do it in the name of Islam. Most countries that commit beheadings and allow such young brides are doing it in the name of Islam. And if not doing it in the name of Islam are devout Muslims.
Replace the word Islam with religion and you are correct.
In less developed countries religion has greater sway.
Koni and his child brides and soldiers in Congo are Christian.
In sequestered Christian Cults across the USA Child Marriage and abuse are rampant.
If the Middle east was predominately Christian and the west was predominately Muslim...You would see the same abuses with the religions flipped.
How old was Mary when she married Joseph?
It is not the religion that is the issue...It is the people that follow it. They can do it rationally, tolerantly and moderately...or they can go extreme and cultish.
I see what you're saying but I think there's a bigger connection between Islam and women's rights, child brides and terrorism.
Why are all Terrorists Muslim?
Why are the most backwards countries Islamic--like Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran.

And you are right, there was a time when the middle east was at the forefront of civilization and technological advancement, but then Islam came and thwarted all of that.

Holy crap are you confused about timelines and history...

In ancient times they use to marry at that age, not really understanding what's wrong with it today. It's not like the christian churches in which the rpeacher is actyully rapping little boys in the name of jesus and god..little girls as well.

Here's another gem from the "religion of peace".
This is the exact kind of sick mentality that Islam promotes, and the kind of mentality that becomes law when Muslims are allowed to rule.
Girls as young as nine are “physically and spiritually” ready for marriage, a Malaysian MP says
“They reach puberty at the age of nine or 12. And at that time, their body is already akin to them being 18 years old.
He went on to say there is “nothing wrong” with a rape victim marrying the man who raped her, as doing so would allow her to avoid a “bleak future."... ...She will have a husband, at least, and this could serve as a remedy
Under Islamic law, children younger than 16 can get married
Only 140 of the 12,987 cases of child sexual abuse cases reported to authorities between 2012 and July 2016 resulted in convictions.

How does anyone in modern society support Islam, when it allows for children to be raped and married? How does anyone support a religion that doesn't consider women to be equal to men, a religion that in many countries doesn't even recognize rape as a crime, and punishes women for it? What kind of sick religion tells women that if a man rapes them, she should marry her rapist so she can be happy?
This is what happens when Muslims run the country. Look at the middle east... Women literally get arrested for being raped.
There's no way around it and no excuse - Islam is the enemy of any modern, free, respectful civilization. Pedophilia and rape are NEVER ok.

People knowing it is that way; flock to such positions just for that reason... to where the entire thing just becomes rotten from the inside out.
Sorry for the bad pun.

Every religion has its dark side.
The Catholic Church lies about child rape. Not occasionally. Not accidentally. But deliberately, and every time it’s representatives or apologists have anything to say on the subject.

This is a half truth.
Yes the Church has protected pedophiles in the past. Yes it needs to be stopped and more importantly, YES it has been aired in public and unearthed. I agree that every rogue priest needs to be brought to justice and those who have hidden and protected them also charged for their crimes.
We know about the problem of pedophile priests, thanks to some very brave souls who have dared to stand up and point the finger. Our justice system is well organised to charge these people and punish them according to the law of the land.
Let's not forget that under Sharia law, the victim of rape is usually punished - by whipping or even death. In the case of pedophilia with boys, because it is male to male sex, the boy would likely be given the death sentence for participating in homosexual acts.
So yet again, we cannot really compare Christianity and the secular law of western nations to Islam and Sharia law.

What it is very interesting according to Christian principles is that a person who claims to be Christian is to be excommunicated from the community and pay the price of whatever country they are in, in some countries that could be nothing, in others it could be the death sentence. In others it could be varying jail terms.
The Catholic Church is not still learning about this issue. It has been “dealing” with child rape for the last two millenia. Over that time it has repeatedly and consistently chosen to sacrifice millions of innocent children to unbearable suffering in order to protect its own reputation and wealth.
