There are good people and there are bad; I can tell you that in 15 years of working with Muslim students, I've had only one bad experience (creepy stalker type student).

so now you are against the death penalty? Wow, you sure change your mind fast.
A 2018 study analyzing marriage license data from 41 states found that at over 200,000 minors, 87% girls and 13% boys, were married in the United States between 2000 and 2015.1
Do you know how many 12 year old are married right here in the US each year ? Most likely you do not as I was not aware of just how bad it is.
Immigrant children were more
likely than U.S.-born children to have been married; prevalence among children from Mexico, Central America and the
Middle East was 2–4 times that of children born in the United State
Immigrant families from these regions may hold
social or religious values conducive to child marriage, potentially leading to greater acceptance of the practice among
immigrant communities within the United States

Yet Catholicism is a revered and acceptable religion here. Tens of thousands and likely more children around the world have suffered from sexual abuse by officials of the church.
The leaders of the church failed those children by refusing to report abuse that they knew occurred, failed to punish those responsible and in many cases blamed the victims. They protected the abusers and sent them to other churches in the same position only to repeat the abhorrent behavior again, and once again no one held accountable.
The Church is afraid of the bad publicity and financial responsibility of the church is the only reason they have systematically protected the abusers, and it’s not mid level or low level actors but the leader of the Church, the Pope himself involved in covering up the abhorrent and illegal acts.
I lived in predominantly Muslim countries and found the individuals to be much like the rest of us. They loved their children both daughters and sons, and their wives were treated as equals. Just like every religion there are those who pervert it to their own means and convince others to follow the branch they have perverted.
Our own Christian faith has more than one denomination that has dubious claims about women and their place in our lives. So to use a broad brush to paint all as one is a ridiculous approach to understanding this world. I don’t believe all Catholic followers are pervasive child abusers, don’t think all Baptist believe serpents can lead them to heaven if they dance with them no more than I believe all Muslims are ready to rape and pillage the land so maybe you should put away the brush.

What part did you miss that OUR courts allow it, OUR churches perform the marriage and our governments provide the licenses ?

The imminent release on parole of notorious pack rapist Mohammed Skaf has been a disturbing reminder of a series of horrifying crimes that shocked the nation 21 years ago.
Mohammed Skaf and his older brother Bilal were the leaders of a month-long rampage in which six victims were raped by more than a dozen young Lebanese-Australian men.
Men from that region of the world seem to have one thing in common, their abuse of women.
This story is sick but I implore you to read the whole thing. Why are we inviting this in our country?
These men were in Australia, but with the influx of "refugees" i'm afraid we are going to see similar things here.
Speechless 😶
Nine men including Mohammed and Bilal Skaf were originally sentenced to a combined 240 years for the rapes but at least five other offenders were never caught.
See that little part, originally sentenced?

They aren't only raping women.
A friend in Finland has a 21 year old son with a disability that was just raped in a train station bathroom 4 days ago. Badly beaten and raped....by an Afghani immigrant. They caught the guy 2 hours later.
