I thought the point was to take responsibility and tackle the issue head on?

I'm talking about your response to Karnal's point.

FD, can you argue that there is a "prevelance" of muslim under-age marriage such that it constitutes a "problem", while simultaneously arguing that muslims have demonstrated their willingness to abide by the laws of their adopted country?

Re: underage marriage in Sydney Reply #856 - Mar 15^th, 2014 at 9:10am If Muslims only refrain from having sex with children to avoid jail, despite their religion supporting it, then it is inevitable that some will place their religious views above the law. Muslims aren't the borg, remember?

data saying that there are 38 more muslims than "normal" engaging in under-age defacto marriage?

Not really. For one thing, it is statistically insignificant, and also there is no indication (that I have seen) that these people are actually doing this because they are inspired by their religion. As opposed to just doing it for the same non-religious reasons the other 94% do it.

Can you explain how you arrived at this conclusion?

So it only counts if Muslims do it because Muhammed did it, rather than merely using Muhammed as a justification?

There is a "disproportion" of 38 cases out of a total population of nearly 500 thousands. Call it a hunch. Roll Eyes

Evidence of either would do. You have none.

Show me a Muslim anywhere but especially in Australia who actually condemned Mohammed's example of f vcking a 9 year old wife.

The example of the prophet of Islam stands unchallenged, undisputed and recognised by Muslims as being far more authoritative than any secular western 'man-made' law. Temporary obeisance to the latter is just that under sharia, temporary.

Yes, so you keep saying, old boy. About 6 times if I’m not mistaken.

Yet no-one will address the question.

All you and Gandy want to do is to pretend that Mohammed's example is completely irrelevant to Muslims.

What are you suggesting Karnal? That it is only respect for the law, rather than a more fundamental objection to child marriages, that prevents (more) Australian Muslims marrying off their children to dirty old men?

Quote:

If this issue is so prevelant, surely it would weight the numbers of kids marrying with parental consent - from 16 to 18.

Why did you reject the same logic for the census data that has been presented?

You’re saying a total of 38 defacto marriages somehow indicates an explosion of illegal marriages. How? You can try to prove this.

I’m wondering - wondering - if underage marriages turn up in legal underage marriage-with-parental-consent numbers.

Stavros’ posted map, by the way, doesn’t give a breakdown of numbers and religion. It looks as if 16 to 18 are being married predominantly in Aboriginal areas, but this is just a ranked score.

It would seem to be in Australia, old chap.

You still haven’t provided any evidence to reopen the case. Do you have something fresh, dear boy?

None for me, thanks. I’ve eaten.

You’ve hit the nail on the head, FD.

Your Muselman is just like every other group with or without a fundamental objection to child marriages, and I’ve listeda few. Indians, I believe, are the third highest immigrant population. I’m not sure that they have fundamental objections to child marriage. You’ll have to ask.

Better do it in another thread though.

This, as you know, is not how the law works. We don’t make convictions based on our perceived lack of a fundamental objection to something. The Grand Mufti expressing his strongest objections ethically, legally, but not religiously, does not prove a case against him.

All your leads - the imaginary figure of 38 defactos, the Facebook shopping, "hundreds" of forced underage marriages - have come to nought.

The old boy’s serving stool if you’re hungry. I’ve declined.

It looks a bit stale to me.

That’s the spirit, old boy.

Y’s left the thread, so you’re doing the Khristian thing and doing his job for him.

Sorry, FD, it’s not just stale, it’s recycled.. Better pass.
