Don't believe everything you see on the Internet, kids.

While it appears to be a hoax, the plethora of islamist parties seeking political power in the mid east is not. Turkey, once the only one of two muslim countries with a democratic government, is slowly becoming an islamist state. O well.
The law to allow marriage at 14 is not a hoax and is in draft form. The convenience is manifold, it gets women married young and dumb, prevents them from education, and ties them to family and home at an early age. Great stuff if you want a male dominated society that victimizes women.
Apparently those nefarious Islamists have been running pilot programs in Alabama, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and possibly other states as well (depending on special circumstance). All are male-dominated woman-victimizing places for sure...

Of course I'm uncomfortable with it, which is why I pointed out the similarity between casually-accepted religion-inspired U.S. law. Not saying any of the states (they're not all southern, BTW) are currently stoning anyone, but they sure do recognize the "right" of parents to marry off their 14-year-old daughters.Contribution noted. I believe those states are primarily parental consent states with a few technicalities. Are you suggesting that's equivalent to a non consent age 14 marriage in a state with islamist shaded law? Given the extremely harsh treatment of women in Shariah law, I'd suspect you might be a bit uncomfortable with that. (In other words, there is a long and horror filled treatment of women in muslim states that goes on today. It includes stoning to death of raped women, stoning to death of adulterous women, and other charming practices. Are you seriously maintaining that the southern states are at this level?)
For a change, it would be pleasant if you would actually MAKE A CLEAR STATEMENT with a conclusion, rather than your usual snarky comments and ad hominem attacks that state nothing and are void of meaning other than a certain bilious hatred for me.

Hoax or not, this is one country that practices female genital mutilation. If you don't know what it is, look it up.
And we don't practice male genital mutilation?
Glass houses...
Can't really compare the two, in my opinion
You absolutely can.
It's almost worse when it's done for cosmetic reasons.
Ok, you CAN compare if you're trying to prove a point.
Unless I misunderstood, when they "fix" the woman they cut out her clit. Wouldn't that be the sexual functional equivalent as cutting of the guy's tip ?
Is that what circumcision for men is, cutting off the tip of their cock ?

That guy is just saying that he doesn't THINK it's true... he doesn't provide any factual data that it's not.![]()
Jeez, can't we have a simple necrophelia thread anymore without you guys getting all serious n shit?

Sorry my statement wasn't clear enough, but it was far from an ad hominem attack. I was simply posting facts that corresponded to the ones you posted; sorry if that offended you. And "hatred" for you? Get over yourself!![]()

I didn't start the thread. I'm commenting on a fairly obvious religious move to minimize the position of women in society. Sorry you are offended when any muslim is criticized. Egypt actually has the best public education system, and free, of all muslim countries. However that apparently will be changing if the Muslim brotherhood succeeds in gaining power.Let them do whatever they want to themselves. Once these parties come to power, they realize it is not easy - dealing with taxes, education, roads etc etc. The only thing worse is installing dictators over them allowing for more rabid militants to emerge since only they were crazy enough to stand up to our dictators.
I guess the term "Don't tread upon me" apply only on Americans and we are free to tread upon others :|
P.S. Age of consent in parts of Oz and Scotland is 15. Now I don't know about you but IMO 15 year olds are not THAT much mature either. Or are you going to start a thread on the depravity of Australians and Scots too?

No. Necrophilia is how zombies get created.![]()
