How about underage girls being "shopped" on Facebook and being sent overseas to marry? This is the claim made in the Tele. Have you any personal knowledge of this yourself?

Hmmm I didn't really think about that Y.

Why don't you provide some beheading placards while I ponder over that?

OR, we could explore the issue of the abduction and enslavement of young girls and young women, by moslems.




Consent in Marriage, OF YOUNG GIRLS AND YOUNG WOMEN, gandalf ?


Quote:
Multiculturalism's Child Brides

by Mark Durie
Quadrant Online
February 26, 2014


.....Two cases recently came to public attention of NSW girls being married to older men in unregistered religious ceremonies, allegedly with the approval of their guardians. The first case was of a 14-year-old girl who reported she was deceived into marrying a 21-year-old. After being subjected to years of sexual and physical abuse she fled the relationship. Her case came to light in October, 2013, when she needed to pursue custody of her daughter through the courts.

That account is shameful gandalf.

But of course, it has nuffin to do with ISLAM/moslems.         Tongue

EVIDENCE #9: Consent in Marriage

A women must be consulted and must agree in order to make a marriage valid (Mishakat al Masabiah, translation by James Robson, Vol. I, p. 665). Islamically, credible permission from women is a prerequisite for a marriage to be valid.....



UK, young girls plied with drugs, then raped,

TrueISLAM,

In your assertions about the true, 'virtuous' nature of ISLAM, your assertions have no credibility, AT ALL.

If you want credibility, then you and all 'supposed' 'good' moslems would be fighting a 'Jihad' against moslem 'impersonators' like these [item below], who 'supposedly' are dragging ISLAM's 'good name' through a sewer.


And this evidence, is a REPUDIATION, of your assertion, that the ISLAM insists that consent of the woman must be obtained, before her marriage.....

Quote:
Somalia: Al-Shabaab abducting teenage girls to "marry" jihadists

"A 16-year-old girl who refused to marry an al-Shabaab commander who was three times her age was killed by his men and beheaded."

"Girls were taken at gunpoint. One girl said she could not go and al-Shabaab shot her in the forehead in front of my class."

The 'prophet' of ISLAM said that, a persons silence is [their] consent, [their] agreement [with what is happening].

Google;
mohammed silence is consent



"..Also (prohibited are) women already married, except those whom your right hands possess:..."
Koran 4.22-24

"O Prophet! We have made lawful to thee thy wives to whom thou hast paid their dowers; and those whom thy right hand possesses out of the prisoners of war whom Allah has assigned to thee;..."

Yes, Y, we've discussed those two cases at length. Is there any other proof of the epidemic?

G is pretending he doesn't know anything about it. Typical Moslem deflection.

Of course, we could always use G's deflection as proof of the epidemic.

FD, better put it in the Wiki.

Just more farce and 'jollying' [of serious incidents of child abuse], from OzPol's court jester then ?




K,

The evidence, of the prevalence, of the abuse of young girls and young women, by moslem men [WHEREVER MOSLEM MEN ARE!], does not concern you ???

Abductions [from non-moslem communities],
rape,
beatings,
subjugation [can't leave the house without permission, cannot attend school],
'lawful' child marriages [as soon as a girl is deemed to be old enough to sexually penetrate],
.....all those evidences [cited from within moslem communities], don't suggest to you a prevalence of the sexual abuse of young girls and young women, being sanctioned [i.e. being made LAWFUL'] by ISLAM ?





I have not the slightest doubt, that if we [Australians] did not object [i.e. if we did not enforce our laws, upon moslems living within Australia], then incidents like this -------> would be occurring, within the moslem community within Australia too;      ------->

It does concern me, Y, and I've explained why at length. My description of this phenomenon as a women's rights issue rather than a paedophile issue, of course, did not meet the superior peer-review standards of Ozpolitic's Islam Board. Your own referenced SMH article, I think, describes the phenomenon of child marriage well:

Quote:
The practice is widespread in Yemen and has been particularly hard to discourage in part because of the country's gripping poverty - bride-prices in the hundreds of dollars are especially difficult for poor families to pass up.

More than a quarter of Yemen's females marry before age 15, according to a report last year by the Social Affairs Ministry.

Tribal custom also plays a role, including the belief that a young bride can be shaped into an obedient wife, bear more children and be kept away from temptation.

Read more: http://www.smh.com.au/world/top-clerics-oppose-ban-on-child-brides-20100323-qrk8.html#ixzz2v30qS3w7


You are, however, changing the perameters of a discussion on underage marriage in Sydney. Yemen is as far from Sydney as you can get: politically, culturally and economically. I don't think you'll find two societies as different as Yemen and Australia. Despite this, there is a campaign in Yemen to return the marriage age to 17, where it was in 1994. I don't know if this is the influence of Western NGOs or a shift within Yemen itself - perhaps coming from women's groups. 

"The evidence, of the prevalence, of the abuse of young girls and young women, by moslem men" in Sydney is, so far, two Islamic marriages.

In one of those cases, the girl reported that she was married against her will, and sexually and physically abused. The other case has not yet gone to court, but the girl's father alledges that the 12 year old girl was in love and consented to the "marriage".

This claim will be tested in court. Is it certainly possible, given the census figures on underage non-Muslim defacto marriages in NSW. As I've explained, I know of many underage defacto relationships in Sydney. While I don't support them, they exist. They are a phenomenon as old as Romeo and juliet, which I believe was originally a Persian folk story before it was dramatised by Shakespeare.

Again, if you have any actual evidence of an epidemic of child marriaged in Sydney, please let us all know. The old boy provided good evidence of three Muslim states with no minimum age for marriage. This provided me with an awareness of this issue as a Muslim phenomenon. As your SMH article shows, those who are rallying against a minimum age for marriage in Yemen are senior Muslim clerics of the most fundamentalist persuasion.

I am definitely concerned about this - particularly the use of apostacy laws to discourage debate. I haven't heard their arguments, but as far as I can tell, these clerics fit the mould of fundamentalist old boys everywhere. They are old boy cranks straight from Central Casting. With turbans. 

But Yemen is not Australia, and Australia is not Yemen. Again, if you have evidence of a child marriage epidemic in Australia, just tell me what it is. If it's true, I'll be the first to join you in a good old moan.

It is a jolly world, no?

Gandalf made a similar claim, except you have to train them first. Then it is morally appropriate.

What was the second one?

Other than being in favour of child marriage, what makes them fundamentalists?

Gandalf, how is it that the Imam from Newcastle, and these foreign ones, all ended up supporting something that "goes against everything Islam teaches"?

K,

And how likely is it that the moslem community themselves are going to address this abomination in their midst in our midst, when moslem community leaders themselves, are decrying any public scrutiny of this issue of child marriage, within the moslem community - IN AUSTRALIA ?


...



The question here is NOT, whether or not the phenomenon of child marriage is happening in Australia.

We know that it is happening, here, in Australia!

But how can we - first - legally compel the moslem community to stop hiding it!!!







Look carefully at the form of words that the Australian moslem community has used, in responding to this 'incident' - that has come to the light.


Quote:
Australia’s imams condemn media coverage of child marriage scandal

“Australian National Imams council is distressed and expressed its dismay on the media reports…”

This media statement is enlightening primarily for what it doesn’t say.

It doesn’t say anywhere that marrying a 12 year old girl is against Islamic law. Nor does it say that Islam condemns this form of institutionalised paedophilia. And nowhere is it mentioned that Australia’s Islamic community should report such marriages to the police.

What Australia’s Grand Mufti does say is that marrying a child is to be rejected and condemned from a legal and ethical perspective. While he’s right, the Head Honcho of Australia’s Islamic community is playing with words. It’s very deceptive and Dr Abrahim Salem should be called out for it.

All Dr Salem has done is acknowledge that child marriage is against Australian law and Australian ethical standards which are based on our Christian heritage. He gives no indication anywhere that he supports these standards or that they are more worthy than Islamic ones. In fact, the Grand Mufti even goes so far as to say that it is up to Australian legal authorities to deal with this case. According to Dr Salem, it is not up to Islamic authorities to do or say anything against child marriage.

We could have another endless theological debate, or we can be satisfied with the fact that the only opinions we have heard from Australia's mainstream muslim leaders is that it is unacceptable and should be stamped out.

Why play this absurd game of "entrap the muslim", when they have already come out in support of a zero-tolerance towards the practice? 

FD, why not, as you have said before, avoid "tarring muslims with the same brush" - and work with them on the goals we have in common? Isn't the best way of alienating the muslim community and thereby ensuring this problem does not get addressed is by demonise muslims who express goodwill on this issue and throw it straight back in their face?

aren't you always banging on about how Islam is a completely separate entity to anything outside of it?  As in, within Islam there is only Islam?

Funny how you conveniently choose not to believe this is the case when interpreting the words of a Senior Muslim cleric when you decide it suits you.

Still, not as crazy as your advocacy of genocide and baby killing though, and you failure to love Muslims despite your religion commanding it.  You don't have faith Yadda, just an excuse to hate people.

That's easy, Y. You set up a state child protection hotline, you create laws making it mandatory for everyone who works with children to report abuse, you establish a staff of child protection caseworkers throughout the state, you fund a police force to enforce the law, and you employ a legal system to punish the perpetrators.

Done.

The Muslim community has been successful in hiding one underage marriage that we know of for two years.

I'm not sure how long they hid the biker one for, or if the biker even belonged to a Muslim community rather than a criminal gang community. Still, there is no statute of limitations on sexual abuse, so the girl reported the perpetrator herself. Unlike India, Pakistan or Yemen, for example, she didn't have acid thrown in her face for doing so.

You know something is happening here, in Australia?

Call the FACS Helpline on 132 111 if you're in NSW. They will then legally compel something to be done about it.

It's very probable there are more. Things like that are never one offs.
