Coming from MEMRI, THAT is a long header, but it describes a criminally sad situation where so-called religious leaders have issued rulings that sanction alleged marital practices that condone and accept sexual child abuse of the worst kind. For the record, the Chief commends the moral and physical courage of Ghada Jamshire in addressing these issues in this way:
Interviewer: “Some people say that Ghada Jamshir is a Sunni, and that this is why she is leading the battle against [mut’ah] marriages, which are authorized by religious law among the Shi’ites.”
Ghada Jamshir: “Authorized by religious law?!”
Interviewer: “Among the Shiites, yes.”
Ghada Jamshir: “Does the Islamic Shari’a authorize mut’ah marriages? Does the Islamic Shari’a authorize mut’ah according to the following classification: ‘Pleasure from sexual contact with her thighs.’ They have: ‘Pleasure from sexual touching,’ ‘pleasure from sexual contact with her breasts.’ ‘Pleasure from a little girl.’ Do you know what ‘pleasure from a little girl’ means? It means that they derive sexual pleasure from a girl aged two, three, or four.”
Interviewer: “Let’s not go into details…”
Ghada Jamshir: “Let me tell you what ‘pleasure from sexual contact with her thighs’ means…”
Interviewer: “Don’t give me the details…”
Ghada Jamshir: “This is a violation of children’s rights! This constitutes sexual assault of the girl. What does ‘pleasure from sexual contact with her thighs’ mean? It means deriving sexual pleasure from an infant. How old is an infant? One year, a year and a half, a few months?
The interview, which was conducted by al-Arabiya TV was somehow allowed to air on 21 December. Frankly, the Chief is surprised that it was, given the content. (A scary thought arises: maybe it aired because it is general knowledge over there in camel-land, AND NO ONE REALLY CARES!?)
Moonbats and others of their ilk who argue vociferously in the name of so-called “diversity” that there is no intrinsic superiority of one system of religion over another. By way of contrast, the Chief offers the following from Matthew 18 (King James version):
1 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?
2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them,
3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
You tell one of these attitudes is NOT superior? IF so then stay the h— away from any kids in MY family, you perverted scumbag!
