State-sponsored pedophilia?

Yeah, no kidding. It's not condoned by society or the authorities, religious or secular. And our governments are doing their damndest to prosecute these guys.

10 is fine, so is 12, but certainly not 11!

I honestly think that is it. I can't imagine that it is that there that many adult males that are sincerely attracted to preteen girls. But if they want a controllable mind, an 8 year old is pretty easy.

Heh, not sure, that's why I was asking. I find it funny and don't mind a bit of irreverence so I'm probably not the best judge.

burn_this_city · 01-14-2009, 08:51 PM

What about that other comment lol..

I find the original article far more offensive and over the line.

Sharia Law makes me ill.

Nah, probably just an example of the Wild Rose Party brand of 'tolerance' for anything and anyone non-Christian.

I find the 'cartoon' very offensive. I wonder what the reaction to an antisemitic cartoon in the 'Gaza' thread would be. Would it be laughed off the same way?

This cartoon plays to the sterotype that Islam is a barbaric religion.

Not all Muslims practice extreme forms of Sharia Law or condone the practice of marrying young girls. The "First Lady" (HAH!) post would suggest otherwise.

I'm not offended by this but I do think it's pretty dumb and there is obviously some kind of hatred behind it.

My guess is that whoever put that image together would be outraged if a certain other bearded prophet was cast in the same light.

I have removed it since you have been offended.

To tie anything (or everything) I post to the party is quite a stretch; the party is non-denominational. Give your head a shake. Must I qualify every post with "This is Jane, the person, posting".?

But since you brought it up. I cannot think of any Party in Canada that would support marriage to 10 year olds and it has zero to do with being Christian or non.

Have you heard of black humor? People may have had an initial chuckle; but pictures (cartoon or otherwise) bring unspoken truths to reality.

Who said anything about Muslims? You choose to intrepet it that way.

In fact I went onto say I (that's me as an individual) have a disgust for Sharia Law.

Perhaps you would prefer a real life photo.

If you think these men are marrying the young girls to feed them milk and cookies you need to take off your rose colored glasses.

Come on now folks...lets all just get along shall we?
This article is about a specific country and the fact that millions of these people live and believe that Sharia law is the way it should be, including the fact that young girls can be married to much older men. This country is not alone. There are millions of people who live and work under Sharia law.
Muslims are working very hard to bring their version of law into every country they reside in. Britain has allowed it already, to the chagrin of many of its citizens, and the Muslims are working very hard to bring it home to your favorite place...Canada. Now these nice folks are good hard working people. They make excellent food, are generally decent people, but believe that they should not have to live under the laws of the countries they reside in.

Many Muslims believe that because Canada is a secular country, its secular legal system makes it difficult for them to govern themselves by the personal laws of their own religion.
Sharia in Canada

Is it a stretch to believe that once the Muslim population exceeds that of the ROC that Sharia law might become the flavour for all? Maybe not, and I am NOT suggesting it will...just giving food for thought and discussion.
Do Muslims prefer to live under jurisdictional law or do they prefer their own system...a theocracy that all should be bound to?

Nice dodge there Jane. Way to claim you were misunderstood. And since you've deleted the photo you posted, the one portraying the prophet Mohammed as having sex with a child, maybe some readers of this thread will believe your claim.

And while I understand that the Wild Rose Party doesn't support marriage to 10 year olds, but to be clear, does the Party support the depiction of the prophet Mohammed in the picture you posted?
