Pedophiles will come from all over the world to scoop of these poor children.
I understand but I'd NEVER, EVER sell my daughter off to some pervert or anyone else.
I can't. I answer to a higher authority and He'd be as repulsed as I am. These people need to be Christianized. Perhaps then, they'd have the courage to do what is right - not sell children - He gives strength to those who believe.
I only skimmed your top paragraph ... my, it's rare that someone else shares my view.
May the Good Lord bless you.
An 8 year old little girl to a 22 year old man!
Words fail me on the sickness of this.
"In Afghanistan, $3,000 has got to be a lot of money."
Your "brilliant" statement reminds me of the old joke ...
We KNOW what you are ... now it's just a matter of setting the price ... .
If the prospective grooms (this one is not the only one reported to do so) can go to Iran for jobs, why can't the girls' parents do the same? Unless, of course, it is easier to sell the little girls and sit back doing nothing!
Exactly. Why don't these so-called parents prostitute themselves to put food on the table?
How shameful YOU ARE!
YOU are no better than those purchasing these innocent children.
Just a quick reality check here. How many threads have I seen where we rant and rave against people from this part of the world coming here and trying to impose their values on us? I agree, it is completely wrong for third-worlders to emigrate to the US and then try to turn our country into the same kind of hellhole they came from.
OTOH, this is their country, their customs, and their way of doing things. Now I don't think it is right, but I have to recognize the reality of the situation. We haven't even imigrated to their country, and yet we sit here and smugly tell them what they are doing is wrong & sinful.
Why don't we conduct a poll among these young girls? Ask them whether they would rather be "sexually exploited" or dead?
Their culture has been doing this for at least 1400 years, and I bet old Mo wasn't the one who invented it. If he was, he would never have sold his "religion" to the people there. It was a well established custom there.
In midieval Europe (not that all fired long ago in the grand scheme of things) Christians eventually forbad betrothal before the age of seven, and forbad betrothals lasting more than 4 years, which tells me that a lot of Christian girls were married before the age of 11. And, there was no freedom of choice. Betrothals and marriages were arranged by families.
The concept of waiting many years after puberty to marry is a very recent invention, and Christians betrothed and wed many a young girl.
