Low cost, high quality farm land in the upper Midwest.
All the smart and/or tough Swedes immigrated (legally) to America in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Including Mrs. Dog's progenitors I must add.
This may be true for Germany as well.
Going full Muzzie retard.
Did they approve having 4 “wives”? That’s what the muzzies really need, so they can go to Sweden, give the goats a break, and really start breeding and populating the country. Just think, how many kids they can have when the normal people are paying for the doctor care, home, food, clothing, and pocket money.
“Swedish court rules that Muslims are inferior beings, and incapable of being civilized.”
Our courts have taken similar positions with illegals and blacks.
“The Swedes are committing cultural suicide. “
Then their culture, perhaps, is not worth saving.
Not that I want it replaced with Islam.
But post-Christian cultures can go. To be replaced, hopefully, with vigorous Christian cultures.
Same thing happens in New Jersey with NON-muslims.
The girl was married off to a cousin when she was only twelve years old.
Pretty standard practice in the old days of our Union. She’d be an “old maid” if not hitched up by 16yrs old. Just ask Jed and Granny.
And its not unheard of now if you live the backwoods! I see 14/15 yrs old gals all the time toting little ones down at Wally World in this neck of the woods.
Sorry to be sexist, but that’s what happens when women are in power. That’s the same group of morons that went to Iraq (or whas it Iran?) and the whole delegation wore a hijab.
Such marriages are also legal here in the US (and always have been) and have nothing to do with Islam.
Some states allow first cousins to marry. Some do not. But all recognize such marriages.
Some states allow 14 year old girls to marry. Some do not. But all recognize such marriages.
In most cases it only requires a parent to give legal consent for the minors. In some cases it requires a judge.
Further, in Biblical times it was common for girls of that age to be married. The Bible does not give much information about the ages of women, particularly when married. But is also provides no specific age restrictions either.
In the Bible, the girl’s father had absolute authority to give his daughter in marriage. This authority was only overridden in one extreme case, in order to preserve the tribe of Benjamin from being wiped out. But we have no examples of coerced marriage, which would be an oxymoron because marriage is a covenant which, by definition, requires the consent of both parties.
So it is obvious that this excludes little children. Teenagers are treated as young adults in the Bible, from the best I can tell.
I think focussing on Islamic, teenage girls (or boys) being married is a distraction from the real issues. It is the wrong thing to debate about Islamic practices. The important issues in this category are when girls and women are bought and sold, coerced into marriage (which is especially apparent when the “marriage” is between a very young teenager and an old man), and when little children are abused in this way.
Islam should also face criticism for normalizing polygamy, the hypocrisy of routinely sodomizing little boys in certain regions under Islamic control, and the many other abuses being carried out under the guise of religion.
