Will New ‘Democratic’ Egyptian Constitution Allow 9-Year-Old Girls to Marry?
An ultraconservative Egyptian cleric– who is part of the committee drafting Egypt’s new constitution– is suggesting the country drastically lower the age limit at which girls can marry, Egyptian media is reporting.
According to BikyaMasr, cleric Yassir Barhami cited the Koran in stating that once a girl begins menstruating, usually around 14-years-old, she should begin having children.
Therefore, he reportedly explained, “it is permissible for the girl at the age of 9 or 10 to marry.”
United Press international adds:
Barhami is a Salafist, a member of the ultra-conservative wing of Islam.
[...]
Manal al-Taibi, who resigned from the constituent assembly to protest calls for a lower marriage age, said Barhami and his allies want to legalize child rape. [Emphasis added]
It should be noted that Barhami’s position doesn’t seem to be popular within the assembly, but as moderates resign or are pressured to leave, there are fewer voices to balance the fanatical Salafists.
Reuters related Thursday:
A group of high profile liberal and leftwing politicians in Egypt has said it will quit the assembly charged with drafting the country’s new constitution within a week unless its concerns over Islamist-influenced content in the document are addressed.
The constitution – which is being drawn up by a 100-member assembly – is meant to be the centerpiece of a new democratic Egypt after veteran autocrat Hosni Mubarak was ousted last year and its successful drafting is being seen as a litmus test for its new Islamist rulers including President Mohamed Mursi. [Emphasis added]
Ahmed al-Boraie, a former labor minister, summarized his complaints, commenting: “This is a constitution that brings Egypt backwards not forward.”

Posted on September 30, 2012 at 8:39amYou ask where hilliary is on this? She is with them! She has applauded them and stood by them! Odumbo and The Devils Wife Hilliary is against this country. Against our freedom’s. Against the 1st and 2nd amendment. Odumbo has send his dog Hilliary to the u.n. to give her consent to them on our gun rights and has stood by a known Muslim Brotherhood supporter and thanked them for their petition to the u.n. for anti islamist laws to be passed, that basically says you will go to jail if you say anything negative about the islamist.

Don’t you just love the headline “ALLOW” 9-year-old girls to marry.
Shouldn’t that be “FORCE” 9-year-old girls to marry?
Pedophilia and perversion, it’s the Islam way.

Posted on September 30, 2012 at 12:08amNo, it’s the mark of an extremely pious muslim who spends a lot of time on his face in what he calls prayer.
One of the oddities is that muslims criticize Jews and Christians on how we pray. We don’t pray w/our face to the ground. This is another point of derangement for them. They cannot believe that God loves us. They believe we have to buy Allah’s favor. Their fear of Allah is not respectful awe as Jews & Christians know. Their fear is a knee-knocking fear and likely deep loathing of Allah.

It is the Mark of the Beast. Devout muslims smack their forehead to the ground while worshiping the Allah deity. If the muslims had their way, no one would be able to engage in any sort of transaction unless they bore the mark.
The false prophet and his church have grown and spread for 1,400 years. Many have fallen away and have been deceived by Mohammed and the deity he presented as God.
Allah is not God. Mohammed was not a good man. Islam is a false religion.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 11:29pmNot surprised these sexually repressed pedophiles would be in favor of raping children. I now think I understand why they bury their women in burqas, so other sexually repressed muslims cannot see the 10 year old brides and thus, don’t rape them. It does take four witnesses to convict a muslim of rape, as they all lie like our President.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 10:28pmThe rioting morons insist calling Muhammad a pedophile is an insult, as there are several Imams on youtube saying it’s OK to have sex with a nine year old because “Muhammad is the model”.When are these Islamic apes going to realize their Prophet was an opium polluted child raping degenerate?

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 10:45pmNot only that, but it is also a good thing for a girl to “come of age” in her husband’s house rather than her father’s.
Furthermore, sex is only prohibited if the 9 yr old girl cannot support the weight of her husband.
Savages! Not even dogs behave this way!

This is also why when the rich young women and men leave their islamic countries, they behave so badly. They have no inner discipline or knowledge of how to discipline themselves.

Posted on September 29, 2012 at 10:15pmI’m confused. So calling Mohammed a pedophile is, or isn’t disrespecting him and islam? Speak truth, risk the wrath of President Obeyme, The UN’s World Court, Al Qaeda, The Muslim Brotherhood? I’ll speak truth to power anyday. Pedos.

Posted on September 30, 2012 at 12:14amThe muslim concept of slander is quite different fm ours.
Slander accusations in the West countered by facts.
Slander in the muslim world is tied to the person’s feelings abt what you said of him. If his feelings are hurt, regardless of the truth, he can assail you for slander.

This tells me we need to eliminate these animals by any means and if this is the people Barack Obama wants to associate with, then he better keep his daughters hidden. They are both in the appropriate age range. They might get “punished” with a baby” as Obama put it.

Posted on September 30, 2012 at 9:44amWell I’m at the point where in public, with witnesses around, I will ask muslims if they support the marriage of 9 year old girls. I will ask them why they worship a pedophile prophet. Why do you support a religion of hate and intolerance towards women. Why do you accept that stoning a woman or a gay person is righteous. Then I will tell them that their ideology and religious beliefs are not welcome in our country! If millions of Americans ask these questions in public, they will know that we do not COMPLY!
We can’t wait for politicians or the soros media to ask these questions, we must take our country back from ourselves!
